Age of Heroes, ten consecutive guarantees.

Chapter 823 The incurable disease is called...

To talk about the escape process of Bai Yu and Huang Qixia...

In fact, it is not as urgent as imagined.

They disguised themselves and after leaving the snowy mountains, they naturally blended into the group of tourists climbing the mountain nearby.

It turns out that this is near Changbai Mountain.

As a top-level 5A-level scenic spot and one of the ten famous mountains in Daxia, Changbai Mountain has always been famous and has attracted many tourists.

Even major events such as the activation of the Taiyin Demon Realm, Tai Sui's layout, and the exposure of the female evil's identity have no impact on the lives of ordinary people.

In other words, these things are too big, so big that even if most people knew about them, they would not care and would just let it go. You can't skip meals today just because you're worried about an earthquake or a meteor falling from the sky, right?
From Tianchi down.

Bai Yu and Huang Qixia wore masks and hats all the way.

At first he thought he shouldn't wear it, but at Huang Qixia's insistence he still wore it.

Huang Qixia insisted that if Bai Yu just walked into the crowd, he would be surrounded in less than a minute and would not be able to move at all. Moreover, in less than half an hour, the person in charge of the Changbai Mountain Scenic Area would rush over to treat him to a dinner and invite him to be the image ambassador of the scenic area.

In fact, Huang Qixia is right.

In the tour group he met along the way, he saw a lot of things related to himself just on the road.

For example, there are T-shirts with his cartoon image, phone cases with his profile, and the same clothes he wore during the palace examinations...

At this moment, he really wanted to turn on the computer to confirm what ecological niche he occupied on the Internet.

But he couldn't, because once he turned on the phone, his location would be exposed. He had already put away his phone and thrown it into his backpack.

This time I plan to buy two new mobile phones and apply for two temporary communication cards.

Then the problem came again.

Didn't bring any money.

Bai Yu is a staunch supporter of convenient digital payment. He seldom carries cash with him. He must turn on his phone when he wants to pay by scanning a code, which would expose his location. Huang Qixia did not bring her card this time, and even if she did, she would not dare to use it.

There was no other choice, Bai Yu could only go to a nearby pawn shop to exchange some pocket money.

Bai Yu stuffed some emergency items in his personal space, including some gold watches, jewel brooches and other nobleman's sets. He was personally reluctant to part with them, after all, these were customized gifts given to him by Sister Shirley. However, as the situation was urgent, he had to pawn them temporarily and exchange them for working capital.

He can just wait until the situation calms down and then take it back. He is not worried that the other party's pawnshop will close down and run away. Such a large pawnshop chain would not do that for a mere few million.

After Bai Yu got the money, he dressed the two of them in new clothes.

Basically, Huang Qixia is responsible for choosing clothes.

He looked at the young man and woman wearing couple outfits in the mirror, and always wondered if he should pose as a young Joe Joe.

This outfit is undoubtedly a popular style, which does not match his steady personality and seems too fashionable, youthful and flashy. However, this outfit, which is matched with a hat, mask and sunglasses, is indeed very suitable for concealing one's identity.

Huang Qixia, who always wore simple and elegant clothes before, changed into a fashionable knee-length skirt, blue and white stockings, and a sleeveless black single-piece top with bare arms to support her figure, plus a crooked and somewhat fluffy windbreaker. This windbreaker is quite peculiar, with a diagonal zipper, so when it is opened, it will automatically slide out of the shoulder, forming the slope of a one-shoulder shawl. At this time, with a sideways movement supported by one foot, it has an even more fashionable feel.

Bai Yu couldn't help but think of the animations about the concept of "handsome and fashionable" in his previous life... "Flywheel Boys" and "Heaven and Earth"

Oh, these two are actually old welfare animations. Mr. Ohgure’s drawings of female bodies are quite visually impactful.

Bai Yu was distracted for a few seconds.

The salesperson on the other side immediately came up to say something nice: "You two are so well matched in your outfits."

Can it be matched?
Both of them have great figures and excellent temperaments, and they are first-class clothes hangers. Even if they wear large flowered jackets from Northeast China, they look good. It's all show.

In the mall, Bai Yu said, "Wait here for a while. I'll go and pay the bill first."

Huang Qixia nodded obediently.

She was sitting in the store, and the saleswoman next to her was a very familiar lady, who was talking to her on her own, constantly praising the girl for being so pretty, saying that her boyfriend was also pretty, and how did you meet, blah blah blah…

But Huang Qixia didn't listen to a word.

Because after just one minute of waiting, her patience was almost exhausted.

My toes were unconsciously stepping on each other in my shoes.

Another ten seconds passed.

She stood up, interrupting her aunt's words, and walked straight out of the store towards the cashier.

In ancient times, people said that a day without seeing you feels like three years, some said that a day feels like a year, and some said that after three days without seeing you, the world is filled with cherry blossoms...

She had thought it was an exaggeration.

She had been out of sight for less than two minutes but she already started to feel uneasy. Her eyes kept moving around the crowd, searching for the other person in the countercurrent of the crowd.

This shop is located in a shopping mall and does good business. People and tourists coming and going are like the tide. Even if she stands on tiptoe, she can only see heads.

If Huang Qixia used her skills, she could bypass the crowd, but she couldn't show off her skills here. She didn't want to cause trouble for him, and she couldn't shout out his name because he was too famous now.

I looked around frequently, but all I saw were unfamiliar faces and strange gazes.

At this moment, Huang Qixia didn't realize that her reaction was very similar to that of a little girl who had lost her relatives in the crowd. She looked isolated, helpless and pitiful... She would never show her weakness in public. This was the first time.

She seemed to be left alone in the rainstorm, and the noisy sound of people around her was like the falling raindrops.

Left behind again?

When she thought of this, her inner panic began to intensify, her heartbeat became more intense, and her chest began to ache.

Unbearable loneliness, emptiness and bitterness once again filled the space around her, pressing her toward the center. The weight of fate made her breathless, as if she had returned to the past in an instant, and she no longer had the courage and tenacity she once had. She began to be afraid, afraid of being alone.

What if you are really left behind?
When she thought of this, a strong impulse arose from her fingertips and spread to her heart, like a flash of lightning passing through her mind.

Then take it back.

No matter what, no matter what, I must take back... my own peace of mind.

She took a step forward, not even considering that there were only ordinary people around, and she forced her way through the crowd.

then……

"Why did you follow me?"

A voice sounded in front of her, and the young man holding the bill in his hand asked curiously.

Bai Yu stood in the crowd, like a ray of light that dispelled the dark and invisible things around him, like holding up an umbrella, creating a small area of ​​peace in the world as noisy as the sound of rain.

Although it is very small and can only accommodate two people, when he stands here, the flow of people will automatically move around, leaving a small space that is big enough for two people to stop and stay.

After hearing the voice, Huang Qixia suddenly raised her head. The uneasiness and burning in her pounding heart were smoothed out. She looked at him blankly, like a little monster that had just decided to destroy the world and was awakened, with a look of confusion in her clear eyes.

Her gaze paused, then focused... her disordered thoughts were brought under control, her chaotic ideas were suppressed, her heartbeat was still noisy, but she was no longer irritated, she quietly raised her chin, and once again became as obedient as a doll.

Then, she took a step closer, leaned gently against Bai Yu's body, and hugged him.

All the reactions of passers-by around her had nothing to do with her and became insignificant background.

"I thought you left me," she whispered.

"Why would I leave you behind?" Bai Yu was even more puzzled: "I went to pay. It only took three minutes..."

He felt a little helpless, but also a little amused: "When did you become so clingy?"

Although I can understand Huang Qixia's lack of security, but to this point... hey, it's all their fault.

Bai Yu snorted inwardly.

You guys have forced the good Lord Phoenix to this point of mental stress, this is simply a heinous crime!

He reached out and gently rubbed her cheek, his fingers gently rubbing across her brow: "Okay, you can act coquettishly later, there are so many people watching."

Many passers-by were already watching the fun. Many of them were secretly laughing and sighing how great it was to be young, while others were gritting their teeth and saying things like "a wise man never falls in love and a goblin never leaves his cave."

Bai Yu held Huang Qixia's hand and walked forward, passing through the crowd. The two people, wearing couple outfits, ran away amid good-natured laughter, feeling quite embarrassed... It was not that they were not used to being noticed, but they were worried about being recognized and causing a commotion.

He didn't notice that Huang Qixia was being pulled by the wrist, and the scenery she saw was different from his, and her thoughts were also completely different. She just felt that as long as she stayed with Bai Yu, even this dull and boring daily life became lively and vivid.

The two were running in the crowd, the surrounding lights were shining down, and the ordinary scene was like a flowing curtain, the light formed lines, and the echoing noise was no longer harsh, because she could not hear it at all, because the sound of her heartbeat was so loud that it could not accommodate other sounds.

She thought it wouldn't be a bad idea to just run all the way to the end of the world while being held by the hand.

The other person is like a ray of light, guiding oneself forward, through the long and deep darkness, escaping from the dull and repetitive daily life, and going to a relaxed world without fate.

We will definitely be able to reach it...

She squeezed his hand a little harder.

must be able to.

……

A person's character has certain innate factors, but most of it is the result of acquired influences.

Huang Qixia's personality defects are caused by many factors, the most direct reason is her mental unsoundness.

Huang Qixia's life is incomplete.

She only had the title of Jiaoyang's first seat, but actually had very little that belonged to her.

Her life trajectory is twisted.

Without the care of parents, I was unfamiliar with the world and had to rely on traveling thousands of miles to measure and understand the world.

She should have gradually realized the meaning and value of life in this process.

But she was too strong. Her strength allowed her to protect herself, but it also hindered her opportunity to see the world from an ordinary person's perspective.

Before she had the chance to become an ordinary person, she had already become the leader of Jiaoyang. Lacking the down-to-earth daily necessities, how could she understand the joys and sorrows of ordinary people?

And what follows is the cruel truth.

She was born as a female evil, destined to become the summoning sacrifice of the Demon Ancestor.

In order to fight against this fate, she made a vow.

But no matter whether she chooses to accept or resist, she no longer has the time to take care of her own pursuits. She has little energy to think about what she likes or hates.

She did not lose interest in the outside world, but she felt like a heavy mountain was pressing on her shoulders. She had no spare time to think about where to go for an outing tomorrow or the day after tomorrow.

For more than ten years, she had no life goals of her own, no meaning in life of her own. The only thing she had... was the will to fight against fate. Apart from that, she had almost nothing.

Therefore, she will be madly obsessed with the hobbies she can grasp.

Her only hobby is watching the sea of ​​clouds, so she has been able to watch them for so many years without getting tired of it.

But the sea of ​​clouds was not hers. She could not own it, nor could she monopolize it. It was not enough to completely fill the hunger and loneliness in her heart.

Many people are like this in real life.

If there is something missing, they will seek alternatives through other means. If they can't get the high-end version, they will buy the monkey version.

Just like many erinaceus, they essentially project their most beautiful aspirations and yearnings for love into their works. They know that they cannot obtain them in reality, but they cannot completely let go. They can only seek comfort in virtual works, and eventually become deeply trapped in them. This is essentially a compensatory psychology.

This cannot be said to be unhealthy, but rather a self-protection mechanism.

After all, who can say that the paper man is not a beggar’s version of a perfect wife?

The same is true for Huang Qixia, but the threshold for triggering her compensatory mechanism is too high.

Ordinary hobbies are not enough to dispel her pressure. With the sword of Damocles hanging over her head all the time, she cannot fill the void in her heart through normal hobbies and will soon feel bored or even uninterested.

Because she knew very well that those hobbies could not bring her any benefits, nor could they free her from the heavy pressure of fate.

The premise of compensation is the establishment of substitute literature.

But the proposition that Huang Qixia shoulders is too grand, and she is completely unable to gain any sense of accomplishment from any of her interests... Even in popular novels, TV series, and movies, there is no room for a character like her who is born a villain to whitewash herself.

A character like her is either the one who uses the beauty trap of her schoolmate but ultimately fails in front of the protagonists who are shouting "love, justice, friendship and victory", or the one who is schemed by the mastermind behind the scenes and becomes a sacrifice with the title of white lotus, shedding two lines of tears to express her sadness and unwillingness before her demise, and then ignites the protagonists' fighting spirit and successfully fills their anger gauge before the final boss battle begins.

It can be said that the sense of immersion is extremely poor.

Therefore, Huang Qixia has been waiting, or rather, searching... searching for something that can free her from the burden of fate.

It is not a specific person or event, perhaps a miracle, or perhaps an opportunity.

She waited and searched desperately, going down the mountain every year to get the slightest clue.

Helping Bai Yu was also based on this purpose. She traveled thousands of miles to Penglai just to see him and to confirm whether he was what she thought.

As long as he can be her antidote, she will give up everything and burn for him.

Huang Qixia had remained reserved before only because she was not sure.

And after seeing with her own eyes that miracle has occurred, she will hold on to it tightly, even to the point of madness in her demands.

From being the one who gives and helps, to being the one who takes and depends on others.

For Huang Qixia, this miracle is the white elm.

Under the combined effects of compensatory psychology and compensation psychology.

That's why she reacted like this.

She almost never leaves his side, never stopping, and her eyes are always following where he is.

Leaving it for even a moment will immediately cause severe anxiety and depression, like a withdrawal reaction.

If under the guidance of such serious psychological effects, a magical catalyst called "love" is added... no one can predict the result of the chemical reaction.

There is no doubt that Huang Qixia is sick.

It is still a very serious disease, almost to the point of being incurable.

Even top psychologists would shake their heads after seeing this.

Because the disease is called...

……

The top of Changbai Mountain, a vast snowfield.

"There are signs of a stay here... It's instant noodles with braised beef flavor, and two starch sausages." An archer picked up the empty plastic box.

Another archer spat, "Damn, he eats better than me. I've been taking fasting pills these past two days and I'm almost constipated."

"Where are you going?"

"The traces have been covered by heavy snow, so it's a bit difficult to continue tracking. The Qi-gazing technique points to the south, so they want to go south next."

"Continue the search."

"Are you sure? We brothers haven't slept for three days and three nights. We need to take a break."

"You guys go down the mountain and find a place to rest. I'll continue the pursuit."

"Stop messing around! Dijiexing, I know you have a bad temper in your heart, but in your current state, you won't be able to deal with either Bai Yujing or Huang Qixia even if you chase them."

"I know it well."

Speak, the shadow flashed by.

The other archers looked helpless and had to grit their teeth and follow.

Dijiexing was galloping on a horse, with a breath of fresh air and a fire in his heart.

"White elm..."

"You can't escape..."
