32 Spirit 2
Seeing him looking in panic and fuzzy on the ground, Xi Lingyue was both angry and funny, and didn't even point it out, just watching.
After a while, Yu Shiqi finally touched the pair of bells, stood up and presented them with both hands to the direction he thought Xilingyue was.
"Why are you doing it for me in such a hurry?"
Xilingyue's voice sounded from the side, and he realized that he was looking for the wrong direction.
"The girl said that this is something very important to you, I'm afraid..."
"It's enough to have this heart." Xiling Yue stretched out her hand and flipped her fingers, letting him grab the pair of copper bells.
Yu Shiqi remained silent.
Xilingyue looked at the cloth strips covered with eyes on his face, thought for a while and said, "Wait, I'll have someone change the medicine for you, and wait until the evening to take it down and take it down and take it down."
"Thank you."
"No need to thank you, I'll settle the bill." She pretended to be cold, "When you get out of here, let's do a month's work."
Yu Shiqi was a little surprised: "Only one month?"
Xilingyue couldn't help laughing a little, trying to correct her expression and tone: "I remember you said that you should hand over the painting to your employer before the end of next month. Is it enough for you to leave you for ten days and half a month to complete this?"
"Enough."
"Then let's say that." Xiling Yue nodded with satisfaction, "A month later, the inn is going to send someone to Jingrong to purchase goods, so you can follow them."
"How can I repay you?"
"Here is here again?" Xiling Yue showed a slightly unhappy look, "You worked hard in my ancestor's sect and bought me a lot of time. The kindness is counter-attachment, and I didn't want to calculate it so clearly with you."
"But I was born with this temper and didn't want to owe anyone."
"Okay, from tomorrow on, you will also draw a painting every day, and I will decide the subject matter." Xilingyue ordered, "Don't worry, I will prepare the painting tools for you, but you must draw with your heart. After painting, you must frame it and hang it in the inn room, so that I can't embarrass me."
"Affect the order."
Xilingyue glanced at him and turned around and left.
Not long after, someone knocked on the door again, and it sounded like Yinxue.
"Young Master, the young shopkeeper told me to change the medicine for you, just sit there."
Yu Shiqi vaguely felt that it was inappropriate. Yin Xue was once the tombkeeper of the Xianhe Tomb of Xiling. I believe that he is also a certain person in the Daxue Sect of the Ling Clan. How could he let her do such a service for him?
But despite his uneasiness, he couldn't think of what to say to refuse. In the meantime, Yinxue had carefully taken off the cloth strips covered in his eyes.
The eyes that were no longer restricted could be opened as usual at this time, but Yu Shiqi felt the light shining when he moved his eyelids slightly, so he had to give up this idea.
Yinxue seemed to have guessed what he was thinking. While changing the new medicine cloth, she advised him warmly: "Young master's eyes can't adapt for the moment. Don't force yourself. Wait until the night to take off the cloth."
Yu Shiqi nodded slightly and thanked her a little crampedly.
"Young Master is my benefactor, so you don't have to be polite."
"It's just a matter of finding some medicine from the dead thieves, and it's just a matter of raising hands." He replied modestly, "Senior, don't take it to heart."
Yin Xue was slightly stunned and showed a self-deprecating smile. She stood beside Yu Shiqi and whispered: "What I am grateful for is that the young master is willing to give the gift of the goddess and save the wind and return the mirror."
Before Yu Shiqi could ask questions, she continued by herself: "Dissatisfied with the young master, Feng Huanjing's girl is actually... she is actually my daughter."
"Eh?" Yu Shiqi was so shocked that he couldn't speak. Although he had long discovered that Yin Xue also had white hair and red eyes, he just thought it was a coincidence of a special individual in the spiritual race, and he did not expect this level.
Yinxue was secretly glad that Yu Shiqi couldn't see anything at this moment, otherwise he would have found his cheeks that turned red due to shame.
"But...sen, why do you want..." Yu Shiqi felt incomprehensible. Feng Huanjing said that he was adopted by that couple since childhood, and had followed his adoptive father to worship the goddess several times. He had known Yin Xue for a long time, but she never knew that Yin Xue was her biological mother.
This situation is so similar to the one who followed Teng Yining before, who only regarded her as a respected senior in the Desolate Sect.
But Teng Yining didn't know her identity at first, but Yin Xue clearly knew the origin of Feng Huanjing...
"Young Master wants to know, then I will tell you the wrong things I did in the past." Yin Xue paused for a moment, as if she was sorting out her memories.
"At that time... the Holy Lord was newly established and immediately selected the candidates for the Saint Maiden from the clan. I had the honor to stand out from the candidates and gave them the surname Xiling, so I followed the Holy Lord to learn art." She said slowly, her tone as if she was telling a story that had nothing to do with her. "The Holy Lord cared for me very much, taught me martial arts and secrets, and ordered me to go to the Holy Spring to worship the gods in autumn."
Yu Shiqi soon became fascinated. He was surprised that Yinxue was actually the saint of the Daxue Sect before, and like Xilingyue Yue, he held a ceremony to worship Queen Mother of the West. He couldn't help but feel more and more curious about what happened to her later, so that he would call herself a "sinner" in the tomb.
"Everything went smoothly, but on the way back from the Holy Spring, I met a young traveler walking alone in the Western Wilderness. He claimed that he came from the far away from the Chenlin Emperor Capital and was the envoy of the new Emperor Chenlin. He wanted to go to the extreme western and foreign regions to visit foreign countries. Unfortunately, he was separated from the bandits, companions and guides, and was left alone here."
Yu Shiqi thought in his heart that this happened about 17 or 8 years ago. The year he was born was exactly the year when the emperor ascended the throne.
Yinxue continued, "I saw that he had a clear and good face and good manners, and his words and deeds were correct, so I kindly advised him to turn back. Because the road ahead was dangerous and winter was approaching, it was too dangerous to go west alone. But he was very stubborn and refused to listen to my persuasion, and he still argued with me on the way."
"He asked me if I knew what kind of person the Emperor Chenlin admired the most, and naturally I didn't know. Then he told me that there were only two types of people, the warrior who had triumphed on the battlefield and the envoy who fulfilled his mission. He said that he had no power to tie a chicken and could not go on the battlefield for the Lord, so he was determined to be the latter. When he said this, he was really like a pedantic scholar who was stupid in his mind, but... I don't know why... I no longer felt calm from that moment on."
Yu Shiqi vaguely guessed what would happen next, but he adhered to his morality as a listener and waited patiently for Yinxue to continue speaking.
"I changed my mind temporarily and planned to escort him out of the steep land in the middle of the Western Wilderness until the border with the Yuezhi Kingdom. We walked together in the mountains for half a month. On the night before we parted, in the wilderness where the bonfire was lit, I couldn't help myself under his sweet words, and I was willing to lose my virginity with him." Yin Xue stopped here and remained silent for a long time.
Yu Shiqi couldn't see or hear the sound. The air in the room seemed to solidify. He didn't dare to come out and sat there motionlessly.
"I knew I had made a big mistake. Despite my fear, I still returned to the Holy Lord a month later. The Saint lost her virility to an outsider. Such a thing would bring shame to the whole clan. I was under house arrest for two months. The elders discussed to execute me, but the Holy Lord refused them. The reason for her rejection was not to protect me, but because I was pregnant."
"After I was deposed, the Holy Lord asked me to be a guardian and punished me to guard the tomb for the goddess. But I made the second mistake. The first mistake was the Holy Lord and his tribe members. The second time I felt ashamed of myself and a small mirror. I abandoned my child who was only four months old with hatred. If the Feng couple had not taken her in her, there would be no small mirror in this world..."
After hearing this, Yu Shiqi finally understood the cause and effect and murmured: "So senior, have you always felt guilty later? Then... the adoptive father of Miss Feng took the silver mirror from the strictly guarded tomb, which was also your intentional act?"
"Yes, as you think." Her voice trembled, "A person like me who is so sinful... should have stayed in front of the God's sleep for the rest of my life without seeing the sun. Now the Saint Maiden has brought me back here, and I am afraid that the Holy Lord will take me personally after the wind and snow stops."
"Did you voluntarily devote yourself to that envoy? Do you still hate him now?"
"Yes." Yin Xue paused, "No hatred."
Yu Shiqi comforted her and said, "Then in the eyes of my younger generation, the seniors have only done one wrong thing, that is, they should not abandon their children with a temporary resentment. Fortunately, the Queen Mother of the West has blessed her and did not create an irreversible disaster, so the seniors don't have to blame themselves too much."
Yinxue smiled silently. She thought that it was difficult for her to understand how serious the mistake she made back then was, and she didn't want to say anything more.
"Senior, Miss Feng will definitely wake up. Please don't be afraid to see her at that time. You should let her know these things." Yu Shiqi said seriously.
A complex look flashed in Yinxue's eyes. She pondered without answering. After a long time, she suddenly came to her senses and packed up the medicine and picked it up: "I was confused for a moment, said some ridiculous words, disturbing the young master's rest, don't blame me."
Yu Shiqi smiled faintly and shook her head to say that she didn't have to care.
Yinxue exited the room, and the sound of footsteps gradually drifted away.
Yu Shiqi leaned against the head of the bed, hoping that evening would come soon. He could not wait to take off the blindfolded cloth, and could not wait to see Teng Yining.
