There is an excellent place near the river in the south of Mengdu City.

There are nearly a hundred long alleys, where sparrows often visit and there are arched bridges with running water. If you find a high place in the pavilion, you can still see a white stone horse path leading straight into the forest. The horse trail connects to Shiliting Mountain, where apricot blossoms bloom all over the mountains in early March.

It’s a cozy and lively place, and the neighbors are familiar with each other. If something new happens, it will spread throughout the streets in a short time. And these days, they occasionally talk about the same thing, saying: There is a new house over there in the southeast corner. Have you heard about it?

Which alley? someone asked, not being able to distinguish between east, west, north and south.

People still like to name them after interesting events. Not all of the hundreds of alleys have names. What they were talking about happened to be an unknown long alley.

So they made guesses and gestures, and it took a lot of effort to get to the right place.

Then it got weird——

One person said: That house is not a new addition. It has always been there. It was at the end of the alley. It was just vacant before. The long vines covered the courtyard wall and no one noticed it when passing by.

Another person said: That's wrong. It used to be an abandoned wall and a wasteland. I don't know what age it was left. I even caught crickets there. That house was newly built.

Absolutely impossible! You must have remembered the wrong place. If a house like that was newly built, there would be noise for at least a year. Have you heard any noise?

No……

The first website address is m.9biquge.

That's okay.

But……

The people in the teahouse became more and more confused as they argued. One of them was tired of listening and simply said: Seeing that the sun is setting and there is nothing going on, why not take a look. Is the courtyard wall a new stone or an old stone? Is the foundation intact? You can’t tell moss just by looking at it.”

Another person said: That makes sense, let's go and take a look. You guys chatting makes my skin crawl. I have to understand everything I say today. Otherwise, if we continue to argue like this, we will become a ghost house.

***

The owner of the house knew nothing about these popular disputes at this time.

Because I don't care at all.

This house indeed appeared at the end of the alley a few days ago.

The reason why it appeared so quietly that even people passing by couldn't tell where it came from was because it was shrouded in a light barrier.

The barrier was created by Xiao Fuxuan.

It is completely different from the countless barriers Tongtiansu has set up before. This barrier has no offensive properties. It's like a lingering mist, it won't hurt anyone, and it won't stop anyone. It will only blur the awareness of the people around you and make passers-by accustomed to the existence of this house...

Oh, and I also need to block out the noise in the courtyard, because the people in the courtyard are a little noisy.

As for the reason for the commotion, it has to start from the day Xiao Fuxuan opened his eyes.

***

The place where Xiao Fuxuan was resurrected from the dead and opened his eyes should actually be the Que Bu Luo courtyard in Zhaoye City. After all, that was the exit from the chaos to the real world.

But because the spiritual platform disappeared and the sacred trees were offset. Everything that has been experienced in the entire present world for hundreds of years has been changed in a self-consistent manner.

Therefore, there is no longer the Demonic Cave Zhaoye City in the world, and naturally there is no longer the city lord's house that birds dare not approach.

That place is still mountainous.

Xiao Fuxuan woke up in that mountain wilderness, carrying the smell of blood that was like cold iron all over his body. He hugged Wu Xingxue, who was dressed in bright red and had yet to open his eyes, as he descended the mountain and stepped into the world.

He originally wanted to find a spiritual place where no one would disturb him, and watch Wu Xingxue wake up.

But at the last moment, he changed his mind.

Those spiritual places are always deserted within a few miles, too remote and too quiet. It always reminds people of the thirty-three underground layers of the Canglang Northern Territory where the clouds never disperse.

Some people are born to like streets with long lights like dragons, noisy people and surrounded by sparrows. If you open your eyes and see only lonely clouds and mist, you will feel deserted...

So Xiao Fuxuan went to Mengdu instead, chose the most comfortable and lively place in the south of the city, and settled in a house at the end of an alley.

***

This house is neither like sitting under the south window and sitting in the spring breeze, nor is it completely different from Quebuluo. It is the most common courtyard in the south of Mengdu City, except that the pavilions are taller and there are more wooden beams for birds to perch under the eaves.

There is a tree in the yard. It is not as tall as a sacred tree, but it still has a canopy and pavilion, half leaning against the courtyard wall and half against the house.

Here you can always hear pedestrians chatting and laughing outside the wall. Even in the deepest night, you can occasionally hear the bluestone road being pressed up at a corner and then falling down, making a clunking sound.

Stable, but never falling into dead silence.

Wu Xingxue was lying on the couch facing the wide window sill, with the spiritual array under his body moving quietly, day and night.

And Xiao Fuxuan stayed by the couch, sitting quietly and cultivating, almost never leaving.

But he actually did more than that.

On the day he settled down in Mengdu, Xiao Fuxuan posted a spiritual talisman on the door of the house.

After he opened his eyes, he found no trace of Ning Huaishan and Fang Chu. It is expected that they may have been affected by the self-consistent effect of this world. I don’t know what they have become, and I don’t know where they have wandered.

This spiritual talisman uses a bit of Wu Xingxue's spiritual energy as a matchmaker. Ning Huaishan and Fang Chu were once boys from Xiandu, and there were traces of Wu Xingxue's movement on their bodies. Due to their mutual attraction, no matter where they were, they would come to this house unknowingly.

The spiritual talisman worked faster than Xiao Fuxuan expected. Early on the third day after it was posted on the door, the door of the house was knocked.

.

When Xiao Fuxuan heard the knock on the door, he felt something was wrong. But he didn't think much, he rushed to the door and released the barrier for a moment.

When he opened the door of the house with the scabbard of his sword and glanced out at first glance, he didn't see the two familiar evil figures of Que Buluo.

He was about to frown when he suddenly heard two voices coming from a lower place, calling him in unison: Lord Tiansu.

Xiao Fuxuan was stunned for a moment, then lowered his eyes following the sound.

He saw two little boys no taller than his legs holding on to the door, looking up at him eagerly. There were vague shadows of Ning Huaishan and Fang Chu on their faces, and they came from nowhere, and they looked a bit dusty.

Xiao Fuxuan's face showed a rare look of astonishment, and he asked for a long time: Where are you from?

The two little boys started talking nonsense. First, they said that all the immortals were gone, and then that they somehow ended up living in the mountains and had a very long dream. It wasn't until they smelled the spiritual talisman that they woke up in a daze and hurried here.

Xiao Fuxuan asked: What dream?

The younger brother said: I dreamed that we turned into evil spirits...

The slightly taller brother said: I dreamed that we all lived in a devil's cave. It was so cold and quiet that even the birds didn't dare to stop.

Yes. The younger brother nodded, looked up and saw the trees in the courtyard, and suddenly pointed there and said: There is also a very tall tree in the courtyard of the Demon's Cave. That courtyard also has a name, it's... it's... …”

When he first woke up, his eyes were red and he was breathing heavily. It was as if he had just escaped from a life-and-death battle, almost losing his life. Everything in the dream was so clear that he and his brother both had the illusion that it was not just a dream, but a real experience...

They really had that life.

But after they walked for a day, the scene in the dream faded away. When I think about it again, I can't even name the courtyard.

Obviously they have said this countless times in their dreams...

The younger brother racked his brains for a long time and suddenly became anxious. His eyes were red and tears were falling down. He scratched his head and said, What is that yard... called?

After a while, he raised his face and said, Sir, I forgot.

Xiao Fuxuan was silent for a moment and said, The bird doesn't fall?

Oh! The younger brother slapped his leg, It seems so!

He pinched his brother again: Really?

My brother nodded and said, Yes. It should be.

But how do you know that? My brother asked Xiao Fuxuan in confusion, Isn't that a dream for the two of us?

Xiao Fuxuan answered the question inappropriately and said, Is it difficult to sleep in a dream?

A bit. My brother paused and then said: ...it's okay.

He vaguely remembered that the dream was extremely long and everything before it was extremely difficult. But there was one last word that comforted him.

Although he no longer remembers what those words were, the moment he said them, he was not afraid of anything, life or death, dreams or dreams.

That's okay. Xiao Fuxuan said.

He let the two little boys in.

They forgetful quickly, and turned around and no longer mentioned the things in their dreams. Instead, they went straight to the bedroom, crowded beside the couch, and called Wu Xingxue in a short and low voice.

Why does your body smell like blood? The younger brother's nose was sharper than anything else. He raised the tip of his nose and turned to ask Xiao Fuxuan who followed the door.

Xiao Fuxuan said: It was stained on my clothes earlier.

He bent down and straightened Wu Xingxue's spotless white robe.

The elder brother asked again: Are there any injuries on your body?

Xiao Fuxuan said: No more now.

Then why don't you wake up?

Xiao Fuxuan held Wu Xingxue's exposed fingers and replied, Because I'm too tired.

Because I was too tired and couldn't sleep for a long time, so now I want to sleep a little longer.

But it's coming soon. Xiao Fuxuan looked at the spiritual formation under Wu Xingxue, which was completely connected to him. From this, you can feel that the people in the array are slowly recovering and will wake up.

The younger brother thought for a while and said: Is it useful for us to cry? In the past, as long as we opened our mouths, adults would stuff a paper ball over us, and then we would wake up!

As he spoke, he pinched his brother hard and opened his mouth to scream.

As a result, before he could make a sound, his mouth was covered by a black cloth.

younger brother:?

Xiao Fuxuan said: No need.

Brother: Hmm?

Xiao Fuxuan: No, I don't understand.

younger brother:……

***

Since Master Tiansu wouldn't let them cry, but they really hoped that their master would wake up soon, they couldn't feel at ease until they opened their eyes. So the two boys saw Tiandi making all kinds of noises in the courtyard.

The movement was not annoying at all, but rather added to the excitement, and it fit in perfectly with the streets.

So Xiao Fuxuan ignored them and let them do whatever they wanted.

This lasted three more days.

Until this day, the brothers finally couldn't hold it any longer.

They took advantage of the rare opportunity for Xiao Fuxuan to get up from the bed and go to the courtyard to pick new spiritual stones for the spiritual array under Wu Xingxue, and sneaked into the house, preparing to wake up their master by crying.

But they were afraid of being caught by Tiansu, so they leaned against the bed and faced the window, always watching Tiansu's movements in the courtyard.

They saw Tiansu's figure turning into the blind corner of their field of vision, and pinched each other's waists.

His flesh ached, his eyes turned red, he opened his mouth and started howling.

As soon as the throat came out, my brother felt a cold feeling in front of his nose——

A hand stretched out from behind him and lazily covered his mouth and nose. The hand was pale and slender, and the fingers were loosely bent, as if it had just been lifted up in sleep, without much effort, and would slip down again at any time.

There were still tear bubbles in the younger brother's eyes. When he lowered his eyes, big drops of water fell on his hand. He vaguely saw the snow-white sleeves, and was about to shout: Tiansu! Sir, wake up!

However, before he could say anything, he felt a cold wind blowing past him——

The person who was picking up spiritual stones in the courtyard a moment ago was already at the bedside.

***

Before waking up, Wu Xingxue actually had a long dream.

It is said that gods in this world have no dreams. He has no dream bell to ring, but he falls into a dream again.

When he was on the verge of death, he dreamed that just like three hundred years ago, after splitting the sacred tree, he knelt and sat in the forbidden place of Luohuatai for a long time.

He dreamed that there were still mountain fires around him, slowly burning from the height of the sky to burning out, and finally extinguished completely.

And he looked at the scorched earth, stood up, hid the blood on his robe, and walked out of the mountain step by step.

The mountain road is so long and quiet.

He kept walking and walking, as if it took hundreds of years to finally come to an end.

But he suddenly stopped before the end.

Because this moment was so similar to three hundred years ago, he couldn't tell what night it was in his dream.

So much so that he suddenly felt that as long as he took another step out, he would see the scene from back then again——

The flying flag in the human world has changed from Sui Ning to Qing He. People passing by in the mountains will point at him and shout evil.

He even heard crying...

Just when he lowered his eyes and laughed at himself, someone landed at the end of the mountain road like a hawk, reached out to catch him, and said in a low voice: Wu Xingxue, no one is afraid, and no one is crying.

Do you want to wake up?

Wu Xingxue raised his eyes blankly and suddenly grasped the hand.

Following the man's strength, he stepped out of the mountain path, lifted up the dead branches and vines hanging down on the cliff rocks, and saw the light.

***

Wu Xingxue opened her eyes at that moment.

He had felt in his dream that his long life had come to an end when the spiritual platform disappeared. Everything after that was new, as if a mortal had been reincarnated.

His life started from this moment.

The first person he saw when he opened his eyes was Xiao Fuxuan.

He saw Xiao Fuxuan blinking away the faint redness in his eyes and looking down.

After a long time, he called his name: Wu Xingxue.

Look out the window. Xiao Fuxuan whispered again.

Wu Xingxue was touched by him on the side of her face and turned to look to the left.

That is a window lattice wider than sitting in the spring breeze. The trees in the courtyard are in season, and they are constantly falling. Their pale crimson petals are blown by the wind and sweep diagonally towards the window sill. Chaffinches circled the eaves, and two crowded and settled on the high wooden beams. I don’t know who’s children were running playfully through the long alley, the bluestones rattled, and their laughter jumped over the wall.

That was the light of the sky that had been invisible for hundreds of years, but it shone through at the beginning of this life.

Wu Xingxue heard Xiao Fuxuan speak gently in the sky, Do you remember me this time?
