Chapter 44 Two people have a drink
Lin Zhen stared blankly at Yan Jing, and it took him a while to remember what the winter solstice meant to him.
his birthday.
To be precise, it was his birthday when he existed as Lin Zhen. It was the winter solstice when he was picked up by Lin Wu in the snow, so Lin Wu took this day as Lin Zhen's birthday.
From that day on, he got rid of the bloody storm, got rid of the sadness and hatred, and lived a peaceful, ordinary but happy life.
Lin Zhen said slowly, "Do you remember when my real birthday is?"
"I was reincarnated when you were born, so I don't know about Ye Yu's situation." Yan Jing said lightly, but a trace of regret could still be glimpsed in his tone, "I heard from Xie Dou that it should be on the fourth day of April. Yang poppies are everywhere, and the peach blossoms bloomed surprisingly well that year."
Lin Zhen nodded. Sometimes he would feel an inexplicable warmth when he listened to others talking about the past.
At that time, Ziyou, who was a mother for the first time, and Ye Yu, who was a father for the first time, were immersed in the joy of owning Lin Zhen. I am afraid they never imagined that two years later, the city would be slaughtered by fire, and heaven and man would be separated forever.
Yan Jing got up, opened the curtain, went into the back room and took something out: "Although today is not your real birthday, we still intend to celebrate your birthday today."
When Yan Jing came out, he was holding a long thing in his hand, which was tightly wrapped in a dark red cloth.He put the object on the table, and a dull heavy object could be heard clearly.
He motioned to Lin Zhen and said, "Open it and have a look, Xiao Ling asked me to give it to you."
Lin Zhen looked at Yan Jing's expression, hesitated for a moment, and reached out to untie the red cloth.
This is a whole body black sword.
There are delicate and fine reliefs on the hilt, like vines entwining and criss-crossing, with a little bit of gold in the pitch black.The scabbard is extremely beautiful, and the scabbard is also full of reliefs, which are carved with all kinds of monsters and ghosts, such as beast monsters, blue ghosts and sky demons, which are combined into paintings, all over the scabbard, in different shapes and lifelike.
This sword was very heavy, and Lin Zhen held it in his hand, feeling that it was the heaviest sword he had ever touched in his life.
As soon as he exerted his strength, he pulled the sword halfway out of the scabbard, and suddenly his eyes lit up, and the light of the sword illuminated Lin Zhen's face.
The blade of the sword was as clear as a mirror, reflecting the astonishment in Lin Zhen's eyes.
He recognized this sword, and in the dream, Ye Yu finally managed to break the balance between the two sides, and that was why Ye Yu used it.
Looking at the sword and sheath, Lin Zhen felt more and more heavy in his hand, as if he was holding a generation of Jiangshan.
This sword symbolizes the world that Ye Yu conquered in the demon world, and symbolizes power and prestige.
This sword once made thousands of demons and ghosts surrender, pointed the country, and called the wind and rain.
Yan Jing said: "Xiao Ling was in charge of descending the sky fire at the beginning. After the sky fire burned out, he was ordered to lead people to confirm that Ye Yu, Zi You and you were dead in the ruins... Maybe Ye Yu prepared a child from the demon world to replace you. Xiao When Ling was a Canglong, he was a martial idiot, and when he picked up this sword, he was moved, and secretly hid the sword in a place in the human world without telling the people of the heavens." After speaking, he paused, as if he had something to do with it. Confused, "I don't know where he hid. Rather than hiding, I guess he is more likely to be temporarily stored in someone's hands."
He sighed in his heart, after years of wandering, this sword finally passed into his hands.
Lin Zhen stared at the sword. Although it was heavy, she just felt that the sword was about to be born in her hands, and she couldn't put it down no matter what.
"This sword...does it have a name?"
Yan Jing shook his head, "The sword should have a matching name since ancient times, but this one doesn't. Ye Yu said that no matter what the name is, it doesn't match this sword."
Lin Zhen thought to himself, Ye Yu is very domineering although he is relaxed, and he will definitely not let go of the opportunity to declare his sovereignty over the things he loves. It is not like his practice not to give the sword a name.He asked: "That Ye Yu...how did my father call this sword, did he just say 'this sword, that sword'?"
"That's not true." Yan Jing hesitated for a moment, and finally said expressionlessly, "He calls Jian Baoer."
"..." Lin Zhen imagined that Ye Yu's face was mad and murderous, and he yelled at the heavenly soldiers and generals, "Let my babies kill you all", his expression changed, and he decisively gave up Ye Yu's nickname for Jian.
Even if you choose a random name, it sounds better than "Baby".
Yan Jing covered her mouth and coughed: "Lin Zhen, please give this sword a name, after all, a good sword... needs a decent name."
Even Yan Jing couldn't stand the experience of such a good sword being unknown for thousands of years, only called "Baby".
Lin Zhen nodded, "OK, let me think about it."
Yan Jing accidentally saw the jade sticking out of Lin Zhen's neck, and immediately understood, and took a deep look at Lin Zhen, "Xiao Ling really put his mind to it."
"...Yes." Lin Zhen thought that Yan Jing had helped him so much, so let's talk about what was in his heart, "Although he lied to me, everything was for my own good. In my life, Lin Zhen, I may never find someone who treats me as well as Xiao Ling, and I also... like him very much."
"Well. But you can't see him now."
"why?"
Yan Jing said slowly: "Once the two of you meet, he will want to protect you, and you will involuntarily rely on him. This won't work, you have to grow when you unlock the seal, and Li Yuan and I agree that, Only when you leave Xiao Ling can you grow faster. Xiao Ling also knows, so he only dares to visit you when you are asleep, and he has to leave when he has no reason to stay."
Lin Zhen really wanted to refute, saying, "I didn't want to rely on Xiao Ling." But after thinking about it, it was obvious that Yan Jing would have this opinion.
As a senior, he was supposed to be a big tree that could shelter his junior from wind and rain, but now he is relying on his junior instead. It really embarrassed Lin Zhen to say such a thing.
Yan Jing continued: "In the next few months, you can practice with this sword, or you can go to Wuming to guide you."
Lin Zhen suddenly remembered a doubt that had been buried in her heart for a long time: "Yan Jing, are you familiar with Wuming?"
"It's okay." Yan Jing drank the soup in the bowl leisurely, with an elegant posture, "The chains on his body were suggested by him and I locked them for him in the end."
"..." Are you sure you have no enmity with Wuming Wuyuan?
"If Xiao Ling hadn't carried you back yesterday and said today is your birthday, I wouldn't have known about it, so I didn't prepare anything." Yan Jing took out a key from his waist and handed it to Lin Zhen, "This is my wine cellar. The key, I will let you drink enough today."
"...Thank you so much." It seems that tonight is going to be drunk again.
"Go and play with your junior brother and the others."
"Okay, I haven't been down the mountain for so many days, I'll get ready and go down the mountain..."
"No." Yan Jing interrupted Lin Zhen with a serious face, "You can't go down the mountain."
Lin Zhen was taken aback, not knowing why, "Why?"
"Suzaku might be nearby." Yan Jing's eyes darkened, "The reason why Wuming opened the barrier yesterday was because Suzaku came, Xiao Ling stopped him and started a fight not far from Wuming Valley. "
No wonder Wuming said that he sensed a force from the heavens...
Why did Suzaku come here?Did things go awry?Was it discovered that Xiao Ling was helping him?
Lin Zhen panicked all of a sudden, is Xiao Ling okay?
Xiao Ling blocked all the troubles for him, but what about himself?
Seeing his worried face, Yan Jing comforted him: "Xiao Ling is fine, you don't have to worry, Suzaku and him are like brothers, dare not be serious with him."
He lowered his voice, approached Lin Zhen and said, "Li Yuan is trying to find a way to help Xiao Ling steal his fairy bones."
Lin Zhen's eyes widened in surprise, but he didn't dare to say anything, "This...is this okay?"
"The four spirits were not born in their current form," Yan Jing patiently explained, "Xiao Ling was not born a dragon either, he became a dragon because he was given the mission of the four spirits, so his fairy bones must be preserved Come down, wait until a new god who is suitable for the position of Canglong appears, and then implant his dragon bone into the new person, but us star kings are different, if it is gone, it will be gone, unless someone keeps it well, there is nowhere to go can be found."
Lin Zhen never knew these detailed rules in the Heaven Realm, so he nodded half-understood: "Then your fairy bone is kept by someone?"
"Li Yuan kept it for me." Yan Jing's expression changed slightly, "I was reincarnated as a human until Li Yuan found it when my family was ruined and I returned the bone."
Lin Zhen noticed that Yan Jing didn't want to mention the experience of being reincarnated as a human again, so she suppressed her curiosity and continued to ask: "But Li Yuan is also in the mortal world now, can I still get Xiao Ling's dragon bone? "
"It depends on that little white-eyed wolf..." As he spoke, Yan Jing showed disgust in his eyes. Although he didn't express anything, Lin Zhen could feel Yan Jing's displeasure.
Lin Zhen said, "Okay, then where can we go?"
"You can sit and chat right in front of the door and exchange gifts."
Lin Zhen gritted her teeth and said, "Yan Jing, I'm 23, not thirteen!"
Yan Jing said lightly: "It's a good thing you're not Shisan, otherwise I don't know where to find a rattle for you."
"..." Rattles are obviously only played by children before the age of three!
Before Yan Jing said something more insulting to her, Lin Zhen wrapped the sword and left Yan Jing's room with it.
After he went back and finished the lunch Xiao Ling made for him, he took two pots of golden stem dew from the wine cellar, invited Qin Yun, Lin Zixi, Chu Bi and Lu Xixun, and the five of them sat cross-legged in the lobby In a circle, a simple birthday party was held.
"Let's make do with it, everyone. At least I have two pots of good wine. Uh... Although it's not mine, I can just borrow flowers to present Buddha, and let me show my heart." Lin Zhen still followed the process of previous years, and said to everyone present. The four of them toasted a glass of wine and drank it all in one gulp. Usually, when facing so many people up and down in the master's gate, he could handle it calmly and calmly. Now facing the four people in front of him, he became nervous and cramped.
"I...uh...don't know what to say." Lin Zhen scratched her head embarrassingly, "What can I say, thank you for being willing to accompany me through life and death, and I hope everyone can be safe, healthy and happy It went smoothly..."
Lu Xixun said with a smile: "Oh, Lin Zhen, save your time. It's all over now. When you turn 24 next year, you should have nothing to say."
Qin Yun also smiled: "Brother, don't be nervous. We didn't have time to prepare any presents. Even if it's a waste of your drink, next year and the year after next year, we will have enough preparations. If you say so many good things to us."
All five of them laughed, but Lin Zhen felt extremely moved when he heard this.
It's not difficult to understand, the implication of Lu Xixun and Qin Yun is that next year, they will still be by Lin Zhen's side, safe and sound.
Lin Zhen sat down, and the five of them started to drink, and the only appetizer was the plum cake made by Yan Jing.
Chu Bi was the first to get drunk and complained about how annoying things in Xiao's mansion were, and how nagging housekeeper Qi was.Qin Yun used to talk a lot, after a few glasses of wine, he started to keep mentioning the things about Lin Zhen when he was in Linjiazhuang, most of them were embarrassing things. Then she became happy, and during the period, she did not forget to sneer at Xiao Ling for being narrow-minded. Lu Xixun is the most mature of the four, and she has drinks with Lin Zhen from time to time. For her, the past is unbearable, but there is still one thing Let her brood.
"Lin Zhen, I want to find Yan Jiu." Lu Xixun put down the wine glass, "If it wasn't for him, I would have been a lonely ghost, and I would not be able to take revenge. If I could, I would like to thank him again."
Lin Zhen said: "I see, I will definitely find it for you after I finish my practice."
Although it was an indefinite promise, Lu Xixun still smiled contentedly and poured himself another cup.
It is still snowing outside the door, the red plums are silent, and the world is vast.
Only the chatting and laughing of the five people in the room is warm and warm.
