Candle Dragon to the left

Chapter 250 12. Endgame (4.2k)
In the Yang Mansion, the eyes of the three people focused on Yang Lianyue. Although these girls couldn't be more familiar with each other, she was still a little embarrassed.

Slowly getting up from her mother's arms, she lowered her head, not knowing what to say for a while.

She was not in a hurry, but her father and mother didn't think so. They stared at their daughter for a while, and then looked at Li Chengqi who was aside.

"What's going on?" The man frowned. "Madam said that Yue'er heard the sound of the flute, and then fell into a coma. The situation seems to be exactly the same as before."

He stared into Li Chengqi's eyes, trying to see something out of them.

"You really cured Yue'er? Speaking of which, I never asked you how you did it before, but this time it relapsed again, boy, can you tell me what you did?"

Li Chengqi didn't answer immediately, he looked in one direction of the room.Sun secretly noticed that the direction Li Chengqi was looking at was the place Yue'er was staring at before she passed out.

"Xiao Sheng." He said to himself, and under such an occasion, there was a smile in his eyes.

Yang Shi's face darkened.

"Father..." the girl said timidly, she shook her head, "It has nothing to do with Brother Chengqi, the previous illness and those dreams are indeed cured, what I saw this time is completely different, I am not afraid, on the contrary, in this coma What I saw reassured me."

"What are you talking about?" The man turned around and scolded, "As long as you can still see those strange things, this disease will always be there. At the very beginning, this disease will not deprive you of vitality. This dream did not let you Feeling weak and who knows if it will turn out to be the same in the future?"

Looking at the girl's wide eyes, he probably didn't expect him to get angry.

Yang Shi sighed, and patted Li Chengqi's shoulder again, "Boy, I was the one who was worried. You did cure my little girl's previous illness. But is there anything else you can do about the dream that reappeared?"

Li Chengqi shook his head, just when Yang Shi was still about to say something, he interrupted: "Master Patriarch, I don't think you need to worry, it's not a bad thing to be able to fall into a dream after hearing the flute sound. Maybe it's not a bad thing for Yue'er Useful."

"What do you mean?" The man was taken aback.

Li Chengqi gestured for silence, "Hush, listen carefully."

Although I don't know the reason, the room in the attic is indeed quiet, only the breathing of the four people fluctuates.It was so quiet that even the chirping of birds and insects in the peach grove outside the attic had disappeared.Accompanied by the rhythmic pulsation of their own heartbeat, it seems that another kind of beat seeps in, not only into the ears, but also into the depths of the soul, gradually merging with the heartbeat and breathing.

The sound of the flute gradually rises, and this rhythm is full of primitive feeling, as if it can drag people to the ancient times, to meet the sacrifices held by the ancients for the gods, those praying figures are on the altar, dancing under the altar, dancing, and the rhythm is mixed in Together, the entire land is roaring and trembling with it.

They also turned into one of the dancing figures, regardless of you and me.

Golden light diffused from behind and gathered together, thousands of such golden lights ran towards the end of the horizon, like hundreds of rivers entering the sea, dispelling the darkness there.In a trance, I can see a figure standing in the dispelled darkness, with a robe with wide sleeves dancing like a cloud.

"Crackling——" The sound of pushing the door awakened everyone in the house, and someone pushed open the door of the mahogany attic.

"Who!" Even though he was extremely sleepy and confused before, Yang Shi was the first to wake up, his eyes were wide open, and he stared at the door.

No one in Yang's residence would come to the Redwood Loft at this time, and the other party would not be his.

And if it wasn't for his subordinates, who could have passed the highly skilled guards in Yang's residence and walked here quietly... The man was extremely vigilant.The body is low, leaning forward, and the veins on the forearm are bulging.If the detection is wrong, the burst of force is enough to break the other party's neck in a time that mortals can't even detect!

But these vigilances were interrupted by a call.

"Master." Li Chengqi greeted.

Um?Master?What is a 'Shangren'?Is it a name?Still a title?The man raised his head and saw the silhouette against the light clearly.

The wide-sleeved gown is curled like a cloud, and the hair hanging down looks like splashed ink.

The visitor was holding a golden flute. When the man raised his head, he happened to meet the pupils of the other person. For a moment, it was as if he saw a deep lake some afternoon.When the wind passed by, ripples were set off on the lake. People on the shore marveled at the beauty of the lake, but they still didn't know its depth.

It seems to be a title.

Yang Shi confirmed this title in an instant, the Master is really a suitable description for such a gesture.

"You are?" He bowed, unconsciously becoming respectful in front of the other party, letting go of his hostility, clearly he didn't even know the other party's background,
After a long time, the people in the room heard a faint reply.

"Heng Xiao Jin Ni."

Heng Xiao Jin Ni?What's the name?A title?The man was taken aback for a moment, but he suddenly thought of something, and his pupils widened.

Li Xi'an didn't care what the man in front of him was thinking, since he stepped into this attic, his gaze was always on that girl.She seemed a little scared, curled up in her mother's arms.

"I...have I met you somewhere?" Suddenly, the girl spoke up, and she mustered up the courage to meet Li Xi'an's gaze.

"Very keen perception, no wonder you can feel him sleeping." Li Xi'an said.

But the man staggered back, he didn't dare to link what he was thinking with the figure in front of him, he didn't dare, this kind of existence was not only far away from people like them, even the whole world might not be able to make the other party look down.And he, Yang Shi, Yang Mansion, how could He De attract this kind of existence?

"It's fine to address the Master, don't be nervous." Li Xi'an could see the man's anxiety.

"you……"

"Your love is excellent." Li Xi'an said, he stretched out his hand, his forearm and palm were covered with red steel-like fine scales, the man was not too surprised by this, but the eyes of the mother and daughter in the room widened.

"We may need a space to be alone, too many eyes."

Li Xi'an snapped his fingers.

Yang Lianyue found that her father's face was frozen, she raised her head, and her mother did the same, looking around, it was pitch black, only some spots of light.As the stars spread over and engulfed her, all the familiar figures disappeared, and the place seemed to be empty, only she and the "Master" stood there.

The girl stared at the golden hole flute in the opponent's hand.

"Are you playing the music?" Her voice was very soft, but she was not afraid.

She should be terrified.

Feeling uneasy in such a strange and empty environment, she couldn't see her parents and became a completely unknown and mysterious "Master".

She also felt that she should be afraid, but there was no fear in her heart, but a sense of familiarity, just like being in the magnificent burning dusk in the previous dream.

"It's me." Li Xi'an said.

"What are you doing? Uh... what do you want to do? Brother Chengqi got the cure for my illness from you, right? He will bring it up in his spare time these days and take him out of hell twice His noble existence." The girl pondered.

"Although he never mentioned the full picture of the things that happened, I can feel that he has changed too much. In him, I even feel the feeling that only a father has, that kind of heaviness."

"You like him." Li Xi'an continued.

"Yeah, of course I like Brother Chengqi. You are very strange, right? How can you like someone who you have never met since we were separated when we were young? The novelty of childhood should have been replaced long ago."

"It's nothing surprising. Your perception is very strong, strong enough to approach Zu in sleep. With such a foundation, I realized that my mind was normal when I was a child."

"Thank you." The girl smiled. When facing Li Xi'an, she was calm, but when talking about Li Chengqi, she showed a girl's unique disordered mind. She was probably worried, worried that this kind of liking would be ruthlessly denied.Love that yearns for freedom and peace often encounters power, doesn't it?She can see such bridges in many story books.

"My footprints appeared in the eyes of some people a long time ago, but they will not know that I have been here, and they will not know that the young lady of the Yang family has had a dream about Boundary Mountain."

The girl looked up, with some hesitation in her eyes.

"Is the pain in my dream because of him? That red giant. I know he doesn't mean me badly. I...offended him?"

"No, that's not the case. He just longs for someone to accompany him in this endless darkness. Maybe this is a gift for some people. After all, this is the ancestor's dream, and it is the way to spy on the superior. But for you now Deadly poison, your loss of vitality comes from the separation of spirit and body after contact with him."

"Then, you saved me, is there anything I can do for you?" the girl asked obediently with lowered eyebrows.

"Does your father know you're so smart?"

"I probably don't know. In his eyes, I'm still the girl who hugged his arm and acted coquettishly and never grew up. I don't need to be smart, I just need to be well-behaved when I die, so that when I die, they will not grow up." It would be too regrettable, after all, the well-behaved daughter can still appear again, if she is still smart, it will be too distressing." Yang Lianyue smiled, and the ending sound turned upward.

"Sit." Li Xi'an stretched out his hand, and two chairs and a table suddenly appeared in the space like a starry sky, and the endgame was placed on the table.

Yang Lianyue glanced at the mess, thinking that it was a strange chessboard.

It can be seen from some trend layouts that black should be suppressing white, and it is mercilessly suppressing.But abruptly, it changed to the step that was about to succeed, white began to devour black, unreasonable, while black began to gradually evade, and finally failed.

"This is?" She was a little puzzled.

She knew that some important people like to set up a chessboard when chatting with their juniors in the script, but this extremely weird endgame has never been written in the script.

"Let's go and have a look." The black stone appeared in the girl's hand, and the white stone would fall down after every step the girl took.

She could play chess at first, but soon slowed down. When she slowed down to think, she raised her eyes to observe the opponent. The opponent closed his eyes, as if he didn't care about anything, and let her think for a long time.So the time passed bit by bit, and her thinking time became longer and longer, until it took an unknown amount of time for a chess piece to fall, and she stopped.

Li Xi'an opened his eyes.

Bai Zi has changed.

Killed black chess, but was trapped in a cage.

"What's wrong?" he said.

"I can't go anymore." The girl replied. "Black must win, white has no way out."

"Yeah, at the end, black will still win." Li Xi'an said softly, he flipped his hand, overturned the board, the pieces were scattered, and his face was expressionless. "However, when you have the ability to overturn the chessboard, no chess master can do anything to you. I am not very good at chess. Compared with step-by-step layout and capture, I am better at making another chess player Kill. That way, no matter how I play, I will always be the winner."

The girl was a little dazed.

"I do need your help with something, girl."

"Please advise." The girl recovered from the sluggishness of overturning the chessboard, and saluted respectfully.

"Know... Zu? Shinichi."

"I once heard in a dream that he often babbled. Zu, is it like you, the Venerable Master?"

"It's not me, it's the other guy, the guy in your dreams. He's been in too deep a sleep, and I need you as his anchor in this world so he can come back. It's a little risky for you , so, this is a deal. As for whether to make a deal, it's up to you."

"I don't think I need anything from the Venerable Master. After all, you saved me, so I should help you."

"You can fulfill my old friend's wish." Li Xi'an said, placing a hole flute in front of the girl.

"Are you familiar?"

Yang Lianyue was taken aback, then nodded slowly, "In the dream I entered after hearing the sound of the flute, the only thing I saw was this hole flute... Strange, in the dream, it should have been destroyed."

"It is indeed destroyed, look carefully."

She concentrated and saw the cracks on the golden Dongxiao's body, they were very subtle, but they did exist.

"The world you saw was called Qingsuo, Qingsuo Realm. And the last thing you saw was the end of that world."

The girl glanced at the broken Dong Xiao, and then at Li Xi'an.

She seemed to understand something.

This is a misunderstanding, but Li Xi'an is not ready to explain.At least leave this misunderstanding until he actually arrives at Shinichi.In the process of implementing this plan, there is no guarantee that there will be no mistakes, and knowing the existence of Hengxiao Jinni is safer than knowing a Jiuzhou Jiaolong who has inherited the Qingsuo Realm.Hengxiao Jinni is also a famous ancestor in the star sea, no matter what, even if the worst result happens, the things in the depths of the star sea can only think of the awakening of the unshakable.

He cannot expose the existence of Kyushu in this world.

No way.

"You want to say..." The girl realized what Li Xi'an was thinking.

"Yes, I will teach you the Taoism of the Qingsuo Realm. After the ancestor wakes up, he will teach you how to practice and protect your safety."

From the very beginning, Li Xi'an was not prepared to bring this old ancestor of Kyushu back to Kyushu.Master Gong, the God of Ten Thousand Foods, is naturally unable to reach the present world where even the unshakable can't get close. Even if he arrives by force, he will probably be an ancestor who has lost his dharma.There is no need for this.The value of an ancestor who can move freely outside the stars is much higher than returning to Kyushu.

Silence, silence.

This gift is too expensive.

Even if the girl has never practiced, she can understand the importance of Taoism in a world.It is thousands of times more valuable than her life, or, as a mortal, her insignificant life is simply incomparable.

"why me?"

"Because you can see it." Li Xi'an replied.

He got up, leaned over to look at the girl sitting on the chair, and tapped her brows with red-scaled fingers.

"This is the key to the tomb, can you do it girl?"

Xingyu closed behind Li Xi'an, and the girl who had receded from the darkness nodded slowly.

　I tried my best, family members, and waited until after school to find time to make up.

　　I don't have much time at home these days.
