Water Reflects Peach Blossoms

soon.

Bai Jiu brought over another bowl of medicine.

"Brother Zhuo, this bowl of medicine will definitely work." He said and asked Zhuo Yichen to take it.

Nanzhi took the medicine bowl and fed the bitter medicine to Xiaozhuo with a spoon. Finally, she opened the oil paper bag, took out a candied fruit and handed it to Zhuo Yichen.

Zhuo Yichen took the candied fruit and ate it.

"Is it sweet?" Nanzhi asked.

"Sweet." Zhuo Yichen couldn't help but curl up the corners of his lips: "Where does this candied fruit come from?"

"This happened when I went to the clinic just now. I saw the children there complaining that the medicine tasted bitter, so the doctor used candied fruits to coax them. So I asked the doctor for some." Nanzhi explained, pressing the quilt for Zhuo Yichen.

Zhuo Yichen: “…”

Zhuo Yichen was embarrassed for a moment and pursed his lips: "...but I'm not a child anymore."

"Yes." Nanzhi soothed him, "Master Xiao Zhuo is upright and capable. Everyone in Tiandu City knows his reputation."

This praise not only failed to make Zhuo Yichen happy, but made him feel even more like he was being treated like a child.

"Nanzhi!" he whispered, feeling embarrassed and annoyed.

Bai Jiu watched from the side and couldn't help laughing.

Zhuo Yichen was stunned. He had forgotten that Bai Jiu was still in the room. He looked up at Bai Jiu, his face full of embarrassment at being seen in his childishness.

Seeing Zhuo Yichen's embarrassment, Bai Jiu quickly changed the subject: "Um...Brother Zhuo, how are you feeling?"

Zhuo Yichen felt that his body had regained some strength: "I feel a little better, it seems that you succeeded."

"Yeah! That's great!" Bai Jiu ran away happily.

The plague was lifted and Sinan Water Town regained its vitality.

When the Lantern Festival arrives, every household hangs up lights and decorations, and the atmosphere is very lively.

Sinan Water Town, which was shrouded in plague, finally regained its former prosperity.

Nanzhi took the wooden sign given by the stall owner, wrote down her wish on it, and gave it to Zhu Yan.

Zhu Yan personally moved the ladder and hung the sign with Nanzhi's wish written on it at the highest point.

Under the moonlight, a smile appeared on Zhu Yan's handsome face. He did not ask Nanzhi what wish she wrote down, because he saw it.

Because he had seen it, he didn't dare ask, fearing that he would become more and more reluctant to die.

Nanzhi's wish on the wooden plaque is that he hopes to find a way to eliminate the hostility as soon as possible so that he can no longer be trapped by the hostility and can live freely and happily.

But he will always die. If he doesn't die, the evil in the world will not be extinguished, and Bai Ze's divine power will not be able to enter the cycle. Only when he dies will the entire wilderness and the human world be at peace.

"What does the wilderness look like?" Nanzhi asked.

Zhu Yan looked at Nanzhi gently: "Why do you suddenly want to ask Dahuang?"

Nanzhi thought: "I want to know what the Great Wilderness is like. Why doesn't Fei like the Great Wilderness? Yinglei doesn't like the Great Wilderness either. It seems that many monsters don't like the Great Wilderness either."

"We always say that fallen leaves return to their roots, but the Great Wilderness is your hometown. Are you really that unhappy about it?"

"The Great Wilderness..." Zhu Yan's lips curled into a faint smile as he recalled the scene. He said, "The Great Wilderness is barren, without colorful flowers, without the bustle of the mortal world, and without the numerous pavilions and towers. The Great Wilderness is always cold, the sky gloomy, the mountains covered with stones, and the loneliness remains the same for hundreds of years. Sometimes I sit on a rock by the sea, gazing at the endless sea, and feel the loneliness in my heart is deeper than the sea itself."

"So, I don't like Dahuang."

"But I..." Zhu Yan was silent for a moment before continuing, "Perhaps deep down in my heart, I care about the Great Wilderness, and all that I value in the Great Wilderness."

Nanzhi understood: "The so-called dislike of Dahuang is actually because I am too lonely."

"Hmm." Zhu Yan looked at Nanzhi, "Loneliness and not being understood are the sharpest knives in the wilderness."

"But now it's okay, I have Ah Zhi."

Nanzhi nodded: "And Xiaozhuo, Sister Wenxiao, and everyone in the Monster Hunting Team! We are the ones you can trust with your support."

Zhu Yan smiled softly: "You are right."

Zhu Yan was dragged by Ying Lei to buy some dried fruits and drinks for the dinner party.

Nanzhi rejected Yinglei's invitation to go shopping together and walked along the river bank with a firework in her hand.

Looking at the star-like colors of the fireworks and hearing all kinds of laughter and joy, she saw people sitting on the river bank, writing their wishes in lanterns and letting the lanterns float down the river.

Under the night sky, lanterns gathered on the river, like the Milky Way in the sky, so beautiful that it is enchanting.

In this beautiful scenery, she saw Qing Geng, who was dressed in green and had a face as bright as the moon.

"Qing Geng?" Nanzhi walked up to Qing Geng and looked at the wooden sign in her hand. "Do you want to write a wish?"

"No." Putting away the wish card in his hand, Qing Geng looked at Nan Zhi: "Are you okay?"

Nanzhi nodded. "You didn't hurt me, so I'm fine. What about you? I heard about what happened between you and Fei. Are you okay?"

Qing Geng turned around and sat on the ladder, a bitter smile on her face: "Not very good."

"Zhu Yan gave me a piece of Ran Yi's fish scale, which allowed me to realize the beautiful life in my dreams."

"When I made a wish before, Fei would always hang the wish board at the highest place. Now, there is no one around me, and I can no longer wait for him."

Nanzhi suddenly understood why Qinggeng was holding the wishing card. She was waiting for Fei, but also facing reality.

"Do you want to go into the dreamland?" Nanzhi asked.

"No." Qing Geng shook his head, his eyes already misty. "I don't want to escape, nor do I want to live a life of falsehood. No matter how real the dreams are, they are still false."

Qinggeng left. Looking at her lonely back, Nanzhi felt mixed emotions.

The meaning of life lies in cherishing, cherishing every minute and every second of life, and cherishing everyone around you.

Only in this way, despite regrets, can we live our life to the fullest.

Remembering that she had another wish to fulfill, Nanzhi took out money and bought a lantern. She picked up a pen and wrote down her wish, walked to the river bank, sat on the steps, and when she was about to put the lantern into the water, she heard a woman's voice.

"What wish did you write?" Zhimei asked.

Nanzhi was startled, and the lantern in her hand slipped out of her hand, but was caught by the white and soft hand of the woman next to her. The candlelight in the center of the lantern flickered for a moment, but did not go out.

"Be careful," Zhimei said gently, "if you let it go, your wish will be in vain."

As she spoke, she looked at Nanzhi, and a golden light appeared in her pupils, and a golden light also appeared in Nanzhi's pupils.

Nanzhi has become accustomed to the momentary stinging pain in her eyes caused by the True Eye of Illusion.

She saw Zhimei turn into Li Lun in an instant.

Li Lun, a tall man in a black dress dotted with stars, sat beside her, holding a lantern in his long, broad hands, and staring at her quietly with eyes that looked particularly enchanting under the moonlight.

The weirdness of Lilun is particularly inconsistent with the Lantern Festival in Sinan Water Town.

Nanzhi took the lantern and frowned.

As soon as she frowned, Li Lun's fingers gently pressed between her eyebrows, softening her frown.

"You don't want to see me so much?" He seemed a little lonely.

Nanzhi said, "Zhao Yuanzhou destroyed the demonic energy you had attached to Qing Geng, severely damaging your vitality. Why are you still able to appear?"

"Because I don't want to live." Li Lun's tone was calm, as if he was just talking about a very trivial matter.

Li Lun, who was sealed in the place where he was born, had sticky red liquid slowly flowing out from the corners of his lips, but he didn't care and was smiling instead.

Nanzhi was puzzled: "Why don't you want to live?"

Li Lun was stunned for a moment because he didn't expect her to ask this. Then he asked her, "Are you concerned about me?"

Nanzhi shook her head and said honestly, "I think you're a weird demon."

It seems very pure, yet very complicated. Although what they do is dangerous, they are always able to escape danger in the end. Li Lun, what does he want to do?

"It's a demon, it's all my fault." Li Lun said, "Especially a demon like me."

Seeing Nanzhi remained silent, Li Lun looked at the lantern in her hand and asked stubbornly, "What wish is written on it?"

"I hope our trip to Kunlun will be smooth and worry-free." Nanzhi replied, throwing the lantern in her hand into the river.

Watching your lantern merge with the lantern team and flow towards a distant direction together.

Not hearing any more voice from Li Lun, Nanzhi turned her head to look at Li Lun, but saw that there was no one around him.

"Nanzhi! Everyone is waiting for you!"

The gentle voice was Wen Xiao calling her.

"Here I come!" Nanzhi stood up and ran towards Wen Xiao.

……

Huaijiang Valley, the birthplace of Lilun.

Sitting on the high platform, his hands and feet were bound by chains engraved with Bai Ze runes. Li Lun casually wiped the blood from his lips with his hand, holding a double-sided drum, looked at the lonely surroundings, and closed his eyes.

"The trip to Kunlun went smoothly... I'm afraid your wish will ultimately be unfulfilled..."
