Fairy Wife 51 Body Enlightenment

  Qiu Qiu's understanding was overturned by a single sentence!

  It seems she wasn't unlucky just now, but had been unlucky for a long time without realizing it herself.

  Yu Shui Zhen Ren also went to the town at that time to check on the situation, and then brought Qiu Qiu back to Xiuyuan Mountain. He found something at the foot of the mountain that Qiu Qiu didn't know about, maybe he didn't find anything, or maybe he did but didn't tell anyone.

  It's really hard to predict human nature.

  "Is it also Heart Devil?"

  "No."

  Qiu Qiu's mouth was agape for a while, unable to close it. She had always thought she lived in a peaceful and prosperous world, where stories of demons running amok were just legends written in books. But unexpectedly, within these few months, two incidents of evil spirits causing trouble had already occurred around her.

  Lü Gu Gu had been down the mountain before, she said that all the people in the town had disappeared, without leaving any trace. Compared to the current situation, it's clear that it wasn't the work of a heart-eating demon.

  That's another kind of demon, right? Just as terrifying... Silently and quietly harming the entire town, and severely injuring Master. In comparison, the Heart-Eating Demon seems not that formidable.

  "Scared you?" Xi'er's hand slowly covered hers.

  His hands were still as cold as before, but also made Qiuqiu feel very safe.

  "What's going on with this world? Didn't they say that demons had been defeated and sealed away, disappearing for hundreds of years?"

  "There is no absolute in human affairs."

  Yes, there are always a few hidden in some remote place, recuperating and multiplying. It's really like the saying goes: "Wildfires can't burn them all out, and spring breezes blow new life into them."

  This topic is really too heavy, Qiū Qiū opened the乾坤袋 and put Da Bai and Er Bai out. The two rabbits were not shy at all. As soon as they saw the child, they surrounded him, although they dared not to rub against his face due to his facial paralysis. But that intimate appearance made Qiū Qiū feel jealous.

  Two little rascals, who feeds them and takes care of them every day? As soon as they see a bigger thigh, they rush to hug it. It's really embarrassing for the owner.

  The child touched the big white dog's ear.

  "Is this time about the demon's matter?"

  He dares to say it is...

  "When I set out, I hadn't heard that something had happened at Xiū Yuán Shān either."

  Right, isn't it. Although I don't know which day he set off, but it's definitely not a journey of three to five days. The incident at Xiuyuan Mountain happened just these few days, and he certainly didn't come for the sake of the incident.

  That's why he came all the way to visit her. Qiuqiu suppressed a smile and pursed her lips: "Okay, I'll give you credit for having a conscience."

  Finally didn't disappoint their nearly two years of sisterhood...that kind of relationship.

  Whenever she thought of her sister, Autumn still felt a bit awkward.

  She didn't believe that the child hadn't noticed her misunderstanding before, but why wouldn't she say a word? The story of a woman disguising herself as a man is a great tale, but a man disguising himself as a woman is considered a humiliating thing. This person is really strange.

  Was there something unspeakable at that time? Was Fang Zhen's family also involved in some kind of struggle for power or conflict between different factions? Could Shi Er only come out to recover from his injuries and avoid trouble?

  Not at all accurate.

  It's actually like this in the countryside too. Autumn's hometown had such a thing, they were afraid that their son couldn't make a living so they raised him as a girl, and only gave him back when he was about to get married.

  Thinking of this, Autumn's anger dissipated instantly.

  Yes, there must be some unavoidable reason, how could it be just to tease her? Otherwise, Master and Senior Sister would also notice something wrong and remind her.

  The glow of the opal shone on Xiǎo ér's face, making his face look like a jade carving.

  "You look different somehow."

  "Used some trickery."

  This is indeed the case, otherwise his appearance would be too dazzling. Autumn mistakenly recognized him for so long, and more than half of the reason lies in his appearance.

  He looks like he's grown up a bit more, his features are more defined and sharper than before, but still too delicate.

  Qiu Qiu looked out at the sky outside. The dark sky, but the snow light reflected on the window, didn't seem too gloomy.

  "It's late. Where will you be staying tonight?"

  The mountain is quite big, but the place for guests to stay is at the halfway point. The child should have come with the people from Wulou Mountain and been settled there too, right?

  He had just been holding one of her hands. Now he took the other hand as well, with their palms touching, a feeling that Qiuqiu was very familiar with.

  He didn't mean to get up.

  Qiu Qiu slightly lowered her head and said that it had been a long time since they last practiced together.

  She doesn't really care about other people's opinions either. As long as the master allows it, even if there are some thoughts within the sect, Qiuqiu won't bother with them.

  "Then let's practice together?"

  The child nodded lightly.

  Qiu got up and went to close the door.

  This man, who obviously also wanted to stay, refused to say so and instead waited for her to take the initiative to invite him to practice, only then did he reluctantly agree.

  What's with this attitude? This is exactly what's wrong with him, he has something pent up in his heart and doesn't express it. Try asking someone who doesn't know him to guess his intentions, that would be a wonder.

  The boy had already taken off his cloak and sat up straight on the mat, with a faint glow shining on his face. Everything was just like before; they were together, and there wasn't so much suspicion and resentment between them after all.

  Qiu Qiu sat down in front of him, and the two placed their hands together, starting to slowly circulate their energy.

  As she closed her eyes, she could feel the joyful leap in the depths of her soul, and the spiritual energy of the child was like a stream flowing through her body along the meridians, bringing a long-forgotten intimacy and ease that made Autumn's pores all relax.

  She has built a foundation, and her spiritual power has made a qualitative leap compared to before. In the past, when they were practicing, she was the weaker one, and it took time for her to grasp the rhythm and tempo. But now it's different, Qiū Qiū feels that she can already keep up with his pace, two strands of spiritual power entwining, probing, and quickly merging together.

  All around was quiet, snowflakes fell one by one, the eaves' snow piled up thick, the tiles were pressed to make a creaking sound. Farther away, the wind blew the snowflakes spinning, falling into the deep and bottomless abyss outside the courtyard.

  Perception extends outward endlessly, the sky and earth are vast, and the distant mountains stretch far. The Xiuyan Mountain stands silently in the wind and snow, its main peak supporting a long stone staircase that stretches upwards. The Knowing Path Platform is empty and deserted, with rows of stone pillars all covered in a layer of frost. The dark tiles are covered in white snow. The flying eaves, the copper bells swaying uncertainly in the wind.

  She felt she could still rise higher and see further.

  The boy didn't know when he had already withdrawn his hand, looking at Qiuqiu in front of him with her eyes closed.

  Her expression was calm and serene, with a hint of a smile at the corner of her mouth.

  His fingers lightly brushed across her eyebrows and gently twisted.

  A faint "ding" sound, like the crisp cracking of ice and snow, water droplets splashing on stone.

  Qiu Qiu's body trembled slightly, and in an instant, her consciousness surged back like a tidal wave. She let out a light breath and opened her eyes.

  "What's wrong with me?"

  "What's wrong with you?"

  Autumn touched her cheek: "I don't know... it seems like..." It's as if I've lost my physical form, but gained more. That feeling... is like becoming one with the universe, merging into the wind, snow, darkness, and the faint glow reflected on the snowy ground.

  This feeling is the first time since she became a nun.

  Long ago... it seemed like I had touched this feeling before, but couldn't grasp it, as if there was a layer of fog in between. It was elusive and fleeting. When she tried to reach out and grab it, she would immediately wake up from that state, never quite touching it.

  There was a faint warmth in the eyes of the child.

  Unimpeded by things, the mind is unobstructed.

  Some people can't reach this state even after a lifetime of effort. She crossed it as if it were nothing.

  "It's probably because I'm too happy to see you, it's never happened before." Qiuqiu didn't notice that the distance between her and Shi'er had become much closer than before. The two people were almost leaning against each other.

  "Maybe so."

  Qiu Qiu leaned her head on his shoulder and quietly passed a good while, savoring the feeling from just now.

  Her heart was like a vast empty space, as if it could hold many things. Many things. No fear, no greed... This is an indescribable feeling in words.

  "Ah, I still have something to tell you."

  Qiu Qiu suddenly remembered something and these days have been too busy to think about it.

  She rummaged through her universe bag, pulled out a scroll of painting, and handed it to Shi Er.

  "Look at you."

  He glanced at her and gently pulled open the cord, slowly unfolding the scroll.

  This painting is the one Qiuqiu encountered in Heshan Town.

  The lake surface under the round moon is like a layer of frost, after years of baptism, the painting paper has turned yellow, and the ink color also appears deeper. A lone tree grows on the edge of the lake.

  "Just looking at the painting, it seems like there's nothing special." Qiuqiu said: "But Xiuyuan Mountain really has this place, I've seen it."

  "Where?"

  "On the east side of Lianhua Peak, there is a road that was dug out by the White Ones when they were digging their holes. It leads all the way to this lake. I've tried it, and no birds, insects or fish can get in, only I can enter. The place seems like an isolated realm, with dense spiritual energy. No matter what time you go there, the sky above is always a full moon, never changing."

  "Are you the only one who can go in?"

  "Yes." This was what made Qiu Qiu puzzled. She couldn't discuss and ask others about this matter, the question had been weighing on her mind for a long time, now she finally had someone to confide in. As long as she said it out loud, even if no one could give her an answer, just sharing the secret with someone made her feel more at ease.

  "After things have settled down here, I'll take you to see. With me bringing you, you should be able to get in. Da Bai was brought in by me too."

  She didn't think it was wrong to mention Xiao Er and Da Bai in the same breath, and neither did Xiao Er.

  "Good."

  Qiu Qiu lightly yawned.

  "Tired?"

  "Uh-huh." Qiuqiu didn't tell him that she hadn't had a good night's sleep for a long time, from the moment this thing happened, she was locked up... until now, her heart has been hanging in anxiety, uneasy and restless, unable to calm down.

  "Sleep, I'm right here."

  Qiu Qiu murmured in agreement and leaned against him, closing her eyes.

  Although his appearance has changed, the aura on his body remains unchanged, very refreshing and reassuring.

  Qiu Qiu almost immediately fell into a deep sleep.

  Vote for me.

  Went out on Friday for the annual meeting. Today, I looked at the clothes to wear when going out and felt a bit wrinkled in the closet, so I washed and dried them. Just now, after putting them away, I found that they are even more wrinkled than before washing...
