How many times rose flowers

Chapter 36

It should have been 17 years ago. His Excellency Fengshen Jixue blatantly disobeyed the order of the Emperor of Heaven, and borrowed a mortal body to return to the long-lost mortal world.

Fengshen Jixue has countless calculations, but she didn't realize that the money in the mortal world has already changed, and the only little savings in her hand has nowhere to use. In order to survive, she has no choice but to perform on the street.

Jixue borrowed a bowl containing copper coins from the shopkeeper next door, and wielded a sword by herself.The Qingqiu sword was brought to the mortal world by her pretending to be an ordinary saber, and dancing sword at this time can be said to be handy.Sure enough, a group of people gathered around and cheered, but there were very few copper coins in the bowl.

This is not difficult to understand. At this time, the world is full of chaos, and the people will definitely not be rich.Seeing the sunset, Jixue picked up the two copper coins in the bowl, smiled contentedly, and happily went to the bun shop to buy dinner.

Jixue squatted in the corner while eating buns, while thinking about what happened today.After a day of observation, she didn't find any chaos. I'm afraid she has to ask the head of the sect stationed here.

"Hey, beggar, get out of the way." Next to her, a person pushed her.Jixue looked at her body in the mortal world, and just remembered that the original owner of this body was a ragged commoner who died for unknown reasons before, so Jixue used her body.

But there is always a difference between commoners and beggars, right?Jixue stood up and looked at the person who pushed her, and saw clearly that it was a female disciple of the Cultivation of Immortals sect. There were several female disciples beside her, and one of them was standing sideways. Jixue looked at the half of her profile face, and faintly felt that familiar.

"I'm not a beggar." Ji Xue paused.

"Heh, you're not a beggar, and you still think you're a young lady?" A female disciple next to her sneered slightly, "It's really a daydream, wishful thinking."

"That's enough, let's go." Just as Jixue was about to refute, the female disciple standing sideways spoke, and the other female disciples stopped making sarcastic remarks, and instead said in a drawn-out tone, "Senior Sister Qingwu, you It's too kind."

The person called "Qingwu" didn't seem to hear what they said, and turned around to leave. The other female disciples thought of joking and said, "Senior Sister Qingwu, this beggar is so pitiful, so let's take her back as a beggar." Maid."

They were also making a joke, seeing that Qingwu didn't respond, so they gave up and didn't really take Jixue with them.Jixue thought that she would also go to the head of Xiuxian sect, so she simply followed them.

Arriving at the boundary of the Xiuxian Sect, Jixue was about to sneak in with them, but was stopped by the gatekeeper, "Who are you, why did you trespass on my Wutong Villa?"

"Hey, why did you come here?" Hearing the movement behind them, the female disciples turned back and said with a smile.

"Yuxu." Jixue directly reported her alias.Anyway, a thousand years have passed, and she is not worried that anyone will recognize that she is the same Yuxu Lord back then, and she has the same name.

"Your name is Yuxu?" Qingwu suddenly turned around, his eyes fixed.She stared at her, and she also saw her face clearly, which was almost similar to Li Bai.

"Yes." Jixue replied.Facing this face similar to Li Bai, she didn't want to hide more.

The other party stared at her face, Jixue didn't feel unnatural at all, and let her stare.Her current face is far from her real face, even if the other party is really Li Bai, she may not be able to recognize her.Besides, mortals are reincarnated to forget their past life memories.

After a long time, Qingwu smiled, stretched out a hand, and said, "Zhai Qingwu, it's a pleasure to meet you."

Jixue also stretched out her hand and shook it with her.Seeing this scene, the guard disciple asked for instructions: "Miss..."

Zhai Qingwu's answer surprised everyone.She said: "Yuxu is my friend, and I asked her to come to Wutong Villa."

Now Jixue, His Excellency Fengshen, had no choice but to show some respect to Miss Zhai Qingwu, who kept her face open and her heart skipping a beat when she opened her eyes and told nonsense.She followed Zhai Qingwu and others to Wutong Villa, walked through several courtyards, and arrived at Tingyuxuan of Zhai Qingwu.Zhai Qingwu let her live in the side hall next to her, sent some maids to her, ordered some sets of clothes to be delivered, and left with nothing.

Jixue took a shower and changed clothes, and looked at her current face in the mirror.The facial features of this face are fairly regular, and there is a little red mole at the corner of the eye, which is the only finishing touch to this face.Such a face is far from good-looking, but it fits Jixue's strange standard that can no longer be found in the crowd.

On that day, Jixue dismissed the maids on the pretext of having a rest, put on a night clothes (after all, white clothes are too conspicuous), and sneaked into the residence of the head of Wutong Villa to inquire about news.

She hid under the eaves and heard that Zhai, head of Wutong Villa, was talking to someone who didn't know.She pasted a spell on the door, and the voice of the two talking was amplified in her ears:

"Sir, Wutong Villa has never been involved in court affairs, so I'm afraid it will disappoint you this time."

"Now that things are going on, isn't head Zhai still thinking of being alone? It's ridiculous."

"What do you mean by this, sir? Could it be that the head of the sect is sure that the Three Realms will fail based on the words of the master? Even so, Wutong Villa will definitely not send disciples to the court, please come back, sir."

There was no movement inside the door.Jixue also knew that her eavesdropping behavior was shameful, so she left consciously.Living in Wutong Villa for the past few days, she also heard some other news about Wutong Villa and Zhai Qingwu.

Wutong Villa was founded more than 20 years ago by Mr. Zhai. It was in autumn when it was founded.

A few years after the sect was founded, the wife of the sect leader gave birth to a daughter. Because the wife saw the green sycamore tree in the yard that day when she opened her eyes, she named the child Zhai Qingwu.

Wutong Villa has always been aloof from the world, wishing to find a place to live in seclusion, and never participated in the martial arts conference in previous years.Such a sect is not well-known in the Jianghu, and it is indeed not normal for the court to find it.

Jixue looked at the towering sycamore tree in Wutong Villa, and couldn't help but think of the sycamore tree that withered in the barracks with the death of General Xie Qiong thousands of years ago.However, what she has to do right now is to investigate the cause of the disaster in the world and save everything from fire and water. Now is definitely not the time to be emotional.

In the early morning of the next day, Jixue was walking in Tingyuxuan, only to feel that the sunlight was extremely glaring.He raised his hand to cover the sun, but saw a girl in a beautiful dress sitting on the swing in front of her. The girl was wearing a purple skirt, leaning against the plane tree and sleeping soundly. It was Zhai Qingwu.

Under the verdant sycamore tree, Zhai Qingwu's figure inexplicably overlapped with Li Bai from his previous life.Jixue thought of her old friend, and unconsciously lost her mind.

With a touch of spiritual power at her fingertips, she penetrated into Zhai Qingwu's sea of ​​consciousness—the god of Penglai can see the life after life of mortals, but now she clearly saw the past life of that girl named Zhai Qingwu.

"Li Bai."

"Li Bai, I knew you were here as soon as I guessed it. Hurry up, Madam is urging you to go back."

"Miss Li Bai, do you know martial arts, can you lift a sword?"

"Li Bai, I'll go for you."

"Li Bai, the peace treaty has been signed, Kyushu will soon be at peace."

In Zhai Qingwu's sea of ​​consciousness, every sentence is what she said to Li Bai.That's right, Zhai Qingwu is Li Bai, the old friend who was waiting for her return in Jingzhou City.Thinking of this, Jixue remembered what Li Bai once said: "My family and country are in turmoil, and my relatives have passed away. I don't want to live in peace anymore."

When leaving Zhai Qingwu's sea of ​​consciousness, Jixue found that her cheeks were already wet, and a few crystal clear and hot tears fell down.Since she went to the battlefield, she has rarely shed tears. What happened today?

The ancients said that there are four great blessings in life, rain after a long drought, old acquaintances in a foreign land, wedding night in the bridal chamber, and the time of entitlement on the gold list.Jixue was in such a state of mind at this time - she thought that she and Li Bai would never see each other again in this life, but she never expected to meet again.

In this way, even if we meet each other without knowing each other, it can be regarded as a kind of consummation.

While thinking, Zhai Qingwu had already woken up.She looked at Jixue who was in tears, and asked tentatively, "Yuxu, what's wrong with you?"

"Oh, I'm fine." Jixue wiped the tears off her face indiscriminately, and hurried out of Ting Yuxuan, leaving Zhai Qingwu alone.A maid came in hurriedly and said, "Miss, something happened to the head and madam."

Zhai Qingwu followed her to the courtyard where the head and his wife were, and saw the two lying in the courtyard, with blood dripping on the ground for an unknown amount of time.

……

"Crash-crash-"

Unknowingly, the spring rain came down, wet the mossy stone steps.Jixue left Ting Yuxuan, but suddenly he didn't know where to go.

It was raining and cool, and Jixue forgot to bring an umbrella. He stood there blankly and sneezed.Naturally, the gods will not get sick, but now she has borrowed the body of a mortal, which is no different from before.

Suddenly, an oil-paper umbrella hung above the head, blocking the raindrops falling from the sky.Jixue looked back at the person holding the umbrella. It was a girl in a red dress, about 19 years old.The girl has a pair of almond eyes, red lips and white teeth, and her smile is very touching—for example, she is smiling at Jixue now.

The girl opened her mouth, and the first sentence was: "Sister, are you a fairy who descended from the earth?"

When Jixue heard this sentence, she couldn't help thinking of Huaci who was still nine years old and asked her, sister, are you a fairy in the sky thousands of years ago.If that little Hua Ci grew up back then, it should have looked like this.Jixue thought, her voice became softer, "Yes, how do you know?"

"Then I'll call you 'Sister Immortal'. Elder Sister Immortal, are you lost?" the girl asked, blinking her almond eyes.Jixue asked, she still exudes a pleasant fragrance of roses.

"Yeah. You are..." Jixue responded casually, but hesitated to speak.She wasn't sure if this young girl was really as innocent as she showed.

"Jiuxin." The girl replied, "Sister Immortal, do you want me to take you back to listen to Yuxuan?"

"Okay." Jixue agreed, but she thought in her heart, this girl is so similar to Hua Ci, maybe it is a gift from heaven that gave her a lost and found gift.

Back to Ting Yuxuan, several maids were waiting for her there.Seeing her return, he hurriedly dragged her into the main hall where Zhai Qingwu was. For some reason, the previous female disciples also stayed there, as if they had been waiting for a long time.

"Qingwu, she's back." A female disciple said in a bad tone.Jixue glanced outside subconsciously, and the girl who called herself "Jiuxin" had already left.

"Yuxu, where did you go?" Zhai Qingwu's tone seemed to be covered with ice, so cold.

Jixue felt as if a basin of cold water had been poured on her head, and her whole body was completely cold.She obviously didn't know what happened to Wutong Villa.

"Qingwu's parents... just passed away." A female disciple "kindly" reminded her, Jixue's face became even more ugly when she heard her words.So Qingwu... did she doubt herself?Why?Tears fell again uncontrollably.The tears were so hot, they made her heart ache.

"What nonsense are you talking about? Judging by her appearance, it must be her. Someone, take her into the dungeon and wait for the miss."

Zhai Qingwu, or Li Bai, she didn't say anything, and she didn't do anything.She lowered her head, as if thinking about something.Why didn't she ask herself, even if it was a questioning, it didn't matter so much to her whether she was wronged or not.Thinking like this, Jixue didn't struggle at all, and let the other disciples restrain her, locking her in that dark world.

Every day, different people brought gruel, just to keep her alive.Jixue didn't seem to care about these things at all, even with her ability to escape as a god of Penglai, she escaped effortlessly.

She doesn't want to escape.She wanted to wait for Zhai Qingwu to ask her in person, and then she would explain the matter clearly to her.In this way, they will continue to be each other's friends and depend on each other just like in the previous life.Then, she will solve the chaos in the world, and restore the peace and prosperity of Li Bai in this life.

Really that would be great.Sitting in the dark and damp dungeon, Jixue thought this way for countless times.Suddenly, voices and candlelight came from the quiet dungeon, Jixue supported herself to stand up, and shouted with all her strength: "Li Bai, is that you?"

It was only after he finished shouting that he remembered that that person was not called Li Bai now, but Zhai Qingwu.Li Bai believed her, but Zhai Qingwu might not.With a wry smile, she sat back down.

A disciple stopped outside the prison and opened the lock for her.There was a figure standing next to the disciple, Jixue didn't look up, just heard the disciple say to another person, "Leave in a quarter of an hour."

The other person nodded to indicate that he understood, but the next second he knocked out the disciple.Ji Xue heard the sound of her movement, and suddenly raised her head to look at her.With the flickering of the candle, she could clearly see the appearance of that person, it was not Zhai Qingwu, but the girl Jiu Xin who had met her once.

"Sister Immortal. Let's go, I'll rescue you." Jiu Xin said.

Jixue shook her head, looked her in the eyes, and said firmly, "Thank you. However, I don't want to leave yet."

"Why? For Zhai Qingwu?" Jiu Xin seemed to be holding back something, her eyes turned red, and there were faint tears oozing from the corners of her eyes, as if she was extremely angry.At the moment when the teardrops were about to come out of her eyes, she could barely hold back, she looked at Jixue fixedly, with complex emotions in her eyes that Jixue couldn't understand.

Jixue looked back at her in astonishment, and thought of a word called "pretending to be strong".This word is too suitable for her now, as well as Jiu Xin at this time.Just like when she cut off her robe with Ah Jiu that day, she resolutely said: "Yes. Jiu Xin, I am just a commoner, not worthy of your rescue. Go back."

"No. Since it's something that has nothing to do with you, I'll explain it clearly for you." Jiu Xin shook his head and resumed his previous demeanor, as if the person with reddish eyes just now wasn't her.

"Jiuxin. That's my business, not yours. Do you understand?" Jixue finally said sharply.Jiu Xin lowered his eyes to look at her, his eyelashes trembling slightly, and he wanted to say "it has something to do with me", but he turned and left without saying anything.

Hearing the sound of Jiu Xin stepping up the stone steps leading to the outside of the dungeon, Jixue's heart was at peace.That's good, she thought, so that nobody gets involved.
