Chapter 165 Beautiful Scenery

Qi Xuansu felt as if he had had a very long dream.

His consciousness was clear, but there was a thick barrier between him and the real world, like seeing flowers in the fog. In other words, it was like seeing through a layer of iced glass, blurry, and only able to see roughly, not clearly, and the sound was blocked by the glass, he could hear some, but not clearly, intermittently.

The key is that Qi Xuansu lost control of his body, like a bystander.

In fact, after the descent of the gods, Qi Xuansu's consciousness shrank into the "Heart of the Immortal Stone", so Qi Xuansu felt that there was a thick barrier around him. With the protection of the "Heart of the Immortal Stone", even pseudo-immortals would find it difficult to directly hurt Qi Xuansu's soul, unless they were willing to use their souls to go deep into the "Heart of the Immortal Stone" and look for Qi Xuansu's soul in it.

Back then, the Golden Tent National Master refined the "Immortal Stone" and used it to survive the first heavenly tribulation. After the tribulation, the strength of the Golden Tent National Master was greatly damaged, and he was killed by Xu Wugui and Tan Taiyun. His soul was hidden in the "Eternal Life Stone". It was not until many years later that he was completely killed by Xuansheng.

In this regard, Qi Xuansu's "Eternal Life Stone Heart" is no different from Li Changge's "Eternal Life Stone Heart", both of which have the function of protecting the soul.

This is also the reason why Qi Niang and Donghua Zhenren let Qi Xuansu be the vessel for the divine descent.

Like many elders or parents in the world, they only need their children to follow their own arrangements step by step, and they don't need to know too much, they know it in their hearts.

Of course, it can also be said in another way that if the king is not secretive, he will lose his ministers, and if the ministers are not secretive, they will lose their bodies. Donghua Zhenren and Qi Niang had long anticipated that the "Dingxinyuan" plan would be leaked, just as the Five Elements Mountain plan of the court would be leaked, so the core part of the plan was only known to the person who made the plan, and everyone else was a pawn.

In short, Qi Xuansu completed a divine descent without knowing it and without prior preparation.

Thanks to the exploration of the human body by the immortal heritage, the Taoist sect completed the principle of the human organs a long time ago, and derived various artificial bodies from it. Since the "Heart of the Immortal Stone" has the word "heart" in its name, it naturally also has some functions of the heart.

After the consciousness of the Purple Light True Lord left Qi Xuansu's body, the "Heart of the Immortal Stone" began to beat like a real heart. The difference is that the ordinary heart circulates qi and blood, and the "Heart of the Immortal Stone" circulates the soul. When the external consciousness invades, it absorbs the soul into it and protects it. When the external consciousness leaves, it squeezes the soul out and returns it to its original position, so as to achieve the effect of protecting the soul.

When Qi Xuansu's soul was squeezed out by the "Heart of the Immortal Stone", he lost consciousness.

When he woke up, he had regained control of his body and re-established the connection with various acupoints and the body spirit. He opened his eyes and saw stars all over the sky.

A starry night.

Without a single cloud blocking the view, countless stars lined up in the night sky, like rivers and oceans.

The snow and winter thunder had stopped at some point, and the surroundings were quiet.

Qi Xuansu hadn't felt so relaxed for a long time, and hadn't been lying on the ground to look at the stars for a long time. He could hardly remember the last time.

Was it ten years ago? Or fifteen years ago?

But speaking of lying on the ground, when did the ground become so soft?

Qi Xuansu realized that he was not lying on the ground, but in someone's arms.

Strictly speaking, it was in a woman's arms. After all, some softness was not possessed by men.

Who was this woman?

Qi Xuansu could draw a conclusion based on a man's rough judgment of certain parts of a woman. It would not be Qi Niang or Yao Pei. Although he had no cross-border actions with these two women, and had no improper thoughts, he could not help but take a glimpse of them during daily contact, so it was not difficult to judge who was older and who was younger. Generally speaking, Qi Niang was older and Yao Pei was younger.

At this time, this one was between the two, which was more moderate.

It was Zhang Yuelu without a doubt.

Qi Xuansu was not a casual person. If it was anyone else, he would have to get up quickly.

But since it was Zhang Yuelu, that was another matter.

Qi Xuansu continued to enjoy the warmth and softness with peace of mind, and closed his eyes again.

Not long after, there was a faint sound of firecrackers in the distance.

Qi Xuansu opened his eyes again.

Zhang Yuelu's voice sounded: "You're awake."

Qi Xuansu couldn't pretend anymore, so he could only respond.

"How do you feel now?" Zhang Yuelu's tone was very gentle, and it was not the kind of gentleness that would come to blame.

Qi Xuansu thought about it and deliberately said: "My hands and feet are a little out of control."

Although Zi Guang Zhenjun had cured most of Qi Xuansu's injuries, such as the broken calf, after his arrival, Zhang Yuelu didn't know the inside story and thought that Qin Quanxiao was too heavy-handed and there were hidden dangers.

So Zhang Yuelu didn't urge Qi Xuansu to get up, but just slightly adjusted his posture.

She knelt on the ground, letting Qi Xuansu rest his head on her knees.

Qi Xuansu lay on the ground, with his head resting on Zhang Yuelu's knees and thighs. In this position, when he looked up, he could not only see the starry sky, but also Zhang Yuelu's face.

To be honest, Zhang Yuelu has a well-proportioned figure, and she is not so well-proportioned that her toes cannot be seen when she lowers her head.

Zhang Yuelu leaned forward slightly, lowered her head, and stared at Qi Xuansu.

Even though it was late at night, her eyes were still shining.

Behind her is the vast starry sky, her eyes are like stars, and she seems to be integrated with the starry sky.

And these eyes are the brightest stars in the night sky.

What Qi Xuansu likes most is these eyes.

Intoxicating.

Looking into these eyes, he felt like a drowning man, sinking slowly into a bottomless, gentle water.

Zhang Yuelu stretched out his hands and held Qi Xuansu's face, his fingers slightly cold.

The cold feeling penetrated into Qi Xuansu's skin, and Qi Xuansu's temperature was transferred to Zhang Yuelu's fingertips.

I don't know if it was Qi Xuansu's illusion, but Zhang Yuelu's head seemed to be lowered a little.

The distance between the two then got a little closer.

At this moment, the cold night wind became gentle, as if walking on tiptoe, for fear of disturbing this rare silence.

Their faces were getting closer and closer, and their breathing could be heard.

Zhang Yuelu stared at Qi Xuansu, seeming to be reminiscing and feeling emotional.

A year ago, they parted ways. A year later, they are still together.

Not long ago, she almost thought she was going to lose him again and make the same mistakes again.

At that time, the huge regret almost swallowed her up, and she was left with only one thought, why didn't I hold on? Why let him hold the disc?

Maybe it was a bit cliché, but she did have a lot of thoughts running through her at that moment. She even thought that as long as he could survive, she would not care about all the things in the past, whether he hid it from her or lied to her.

Fortunately, the final result was good.

She didn't lose him after all.

"Tianyuan..." Zhang Yuelu whispered, "Don't risk your life anymore, we have to go to Zixiao Palace together."

Qi Xuansu whispered: "I will take you to Zixiao Palace."

In the direction of the Imperial Capital, a huge "Yinglong" battleship was slowly taking off.

Countless water vapor rises, turning into wind and snow, intertwined with fireworks.

"I don't want you to die."

Zhang Yuelu looked into Qi Xuansu's eyes.

"I won't die."

Qi Xuansu also looked into Zhang Yuelu's eyes.

Zhang Yuelu slowly closed his eyes, his eyelashes trembling slightly.

She leaned down.

Amidst the sound of firecrackers, witnessed by the stars in the sky, and set against the backdrop of countless fireworks.

Their lips touched.

Mingyue seemed to be shy and disappeared.

The grand fireworks display in the Imperial Capital City reaches its peak

, the gorgeous fireworks almost covered the sky with stars.

Very soft.

This was Qi Xuansu's first feeling.

A little cold again.

This is Qi Xuansu's second feeling.

It's not just a quick glance, but it stayed for a short period of time, enough for Qi Xuansu to taste it slowly.

However, Qi Xuansu did not turn his back on the guest. He did not reach out to hook Zhang Yuelu's neck, nor did he pry open his teeth. He just held Zhang Yuelu's face as well.

This was Zhang Yuelu's turn, and he respected Zhang Yuelu's wishes.

Zhang Yuelu is a conservative woman, but not a coy woman. She knows what to do when.

Maybe it was a long time, maybe it was a short time, and their lips separated.

Zhang Yuelu's face had a slight blush and a slight smile.

She looked at Qi Xuansu boldly and did not dodge.

Qi Xuansu said softly: "I once read a sentence, and I have forgotten where it came from. I only remember that the general meaning is that when a young man and woman's unrequited love is exposed, they are one part shy, one part tough-tongued, two parts happy, and three parts Worry, but also a third part of longing for the future.”

Zhang Yuelu asked: "Are you and I teenagers? Or do we have unrequited love?".

Qi Xuansu said: "Although I am not a boy and you are not a girl, we should be considered young people. We are not unrequited in love, but our mentality is the same. We just exchanged one part of harsh words and one part of shyness for two parts of joy."

Zhang Yuelu asked softly: "What are you worried about?"

Qi Xuansu said matter-of-factly: "Of course I'm worried about the discord between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, and between husband-in-law and son-in-law."

Zhang Yuelu wanted to refute, but after thinking about it carefully, he was speechless.

Qi Xuansu turned to look at the countless fireworks in the direction of the Imperial Capital and asked, "Are we at the top of Wuxing Mountain?"

"Yes." Zhang Yuelu said.

Qi Xuansu asked again: "Where are the others?"

Zhang Yuelu said: "Of course we left separately. I saw Qiniang. She took Yao Suyi and left first. We didn't talk."

Qi Xuansu suddenly understood why Qiniang didn't like Zhang Yuelu. The difference in ideas was second to the fact that Qi Niang didn't like him putting himself in danger for Zhang Yuelu. Most mothers in the world have this mentality. They don't want the children they have worked so hard to raise to die for another woman, and they will inevitably get angry at that woman.

However, Qi Xuansu quickly shook off this idea, sat up, stepped back a few points, and then put his arms around Zhang Yuelu: "Ignore them, it's best for the two of us to just watch the fireworks together."

At the bottom of the mountain, Lin Yuanmiao was sniffing snuff expressionlessly.
