Li Tian Zodiac

Everything around suddenly lit up, and Shen Changling had just stepped on it, when he couldn't help but raised his hand subconsciously to cover his eyes.He squinted—

One, two... The crystal stones that lit up one after another shone with a translucent light, continuously lighting up around, and in a blink of an eye, the surrounding area was already bright.

In the darkness, here is a bright island.

There was an empty depression in the center of the stone platform. Shen Changling put the jade pendant in it, but it couldn't fit perfectly, but he knew that this was the center used to activate the formation.

The brightest light came from under his hands, Shen Changling squatted on the ground, before retracting his fingers, the place where the jade pendant was located was completely lit up, the light was brighter than the surrounding star stones.

He felt some power flowing from his fingertips, so he didn't move, but kept his posture to stabilize the operation of the formation.

Probably it is really used to freeze the soul, right?Some of the spells in it are actually very familiar.

A huge storm surrounds the small center, like ghosts floating around and impacting, but these are gently blocked by the bright light around the formation.

……

After everything was calm, Shen Changling squatted there, looking at the jade chips on his fingertips, for some reason, his heart suddenly moved.

"It must be very painful when the mind and soul are separated?" Sighing and saying these words, and Duan Yunchao nodded, Shen Changling walked towards the door.

"..." Duan Yunchao seemed to have heard something, but he couldn't be sure, so he could only respond in silence. He looked at Shen Changling quietly, and he didn't know what emotion was shining in his eyes.

The walking figure was swallowed up on the road, Duan Yunchao froze for a moment when he passed by, he felt a kind of aura in the other person, a little depressed and a little silent.

"Then after everything is settled, I'll leave first." After saying this briskly, Shen Changling didn't say much, with his usual expression on his face, he opened the door and walked out.

He didn't ask anything, didn't do any unnecessary actions, as if he already knew everything, everything was so simple, and the process was so smooth that it was unbelievable.

Slightly nodding, Duan Yunchao sent him to the lake and told him to go back the way he came, and everything calmed down.

"He, does he know what this is?"

In the pitch-black palace, the candles had already been extinguished, and the brief light just now seemed to be just an illusion.

Someone asked in the darkest depths.

Shaking his head, Duan Yunchao didn't say anything, but he knew that person would be able to see his expression clearly.

With his fingers lightly counting in his sleeves, an unfathomable aura appeared on his face.

The hexagrams are vague and difficult to find, even the most powerful mathematician may not be able to see through this unpredictable mystery.

"Ugh……"

*

In the evening, Shen Changling sat alone on a high roof, where he could clearly see the way the palace people below were walking around, but looking up from below, he could only see a mass of shadow.

It seemed that he was preparing something, while rubbing his fingers, Shen Changling observed quietly.The palace people walked in a hurry, but their faces were full of joy, even holding cups and wooden plates could not stop them from hooking their heads and talking.

And the manager, who has always been strict, also pretended to be invisible, and only pretended to cough when the noise was too loud. Immediately, everyone stopped talking.

"Why are you up there? I brought good wine, do you want to have a drink together?" A question floated from below, Shen Chang heard it familiar, and quickly looked down.

A face protruded from the edge of the eaves, and Shen Changling immediately saw who the person below was—it was actually Duan Shuangming.

He is not recuperating well, but at the moment he is holding a wooden tray with cups and tea sets, standing below and looking up.

"You...don't take good care of your illness, what are you doing running out at night?" He hurriedly called him up, and Shen Changling immediately cleaned up the dusty places around him.

With a movement of his finger, a dust removal spell was cast, and the ashes formed a small ball, which he threw down and was cleaned up by someone, and was quietly piled up among the fallen leaves beside him.

"Is it uncomfortable to hold back in the palace? I have been lying down for a long time, and the doctor also said that I can come out and do some activities!" Under the moonlight, Duan Shuangming raised her head and looked up, Taohua's eyes were full of burning smiles.

"Then come up quickly, this place is sheltered from the wind, so don't get cold." This place is relatively sheltered from the wind, surrounded by high palaces on three sides, only this one is vacant, and you can clearly see the below and the distance.

Shen Changling adjusted his posture, firmly blocked the only place where the wind could leak in, and then distributed one of his cushions to Duan Shuangming to sit on, and he called Duan Shuangming to come up.

One flipped over and flew up neatly, the hem of his clothes drew a neat arc in the wind, Duan Shuangming sat firmly beside Shen Changling, the cup in his hand was still intact on the wooden tray. Moving, exuding a faint fragrance at this moment.

It was wine, maybe peach blossom wine.

After sniffing, Shen Changling reached out and took a glass full of wine, raised his head and drank it completely.

"It's delicious. The taste is really good. But it seems that a little medicinal material has been added in it, shouldn't it be put in at the same time?" Shen Changling gave a comment after smacking his mouth carefully. excited.

"That's right, this peach blossom wine was planted a few years ago, and it has just been dug up recently, and I am going to drink it well. Unfortunately, the doctor said that if my body wants to drink, I can only drink this kind of soft wine. , I also need to add some medicinal ingredients in it, so I had to ask him to help me turn the peach blossom wine into peach blossom medicinal wine..." After taking a sip of the peach blossom wine, Duan Shuangming continued, "Originally I planned to drink alone, but..."

"So I have to make you and I drink this medicinal wine together. Don't worry, you can drink it too. It's just some tonic, and it won't do any harm to your body."

Shen Changling raised his eyebrows, looked at him from the side, and sighed in his heart: Are you going to drink alone?So why prepare two cups?

He looked deeply at the side face of the other party, as if he could see some emotions from his eyes staring into the distance—probably loneliness?

I had no choice but to drink alone under the moon, taking out two cups as if someone was with me.

Shen Changling turned his face away again, without asking any questions, just drinking one glass after another, tasting wine with the other party.

One cup, another cup...

"Are they preparing for a festival?" Shen Changling asked suddenly when he was slightly drunk.

He pointed to the busy servants below. There were men and women. The men were mostly carrying some heavy objects and followed behind the person in front, while the women were mostly carrying exquisite palace lanterns and exquisite utensils. Cups, cups, flower pots and other things are busy moving forward, but there is no conflict between each other.

They were busy in an orderly manner, occasionally talking a few words.

"Yeah, don't you know? The New Year is coming, and they are preparing for the New Year!" Holding the wine glass, Duan Shuangming is taking advantage of the moonlight to quietly observe the color of the wine glass and the liquid in it from all directions. He was enjoying the refracted light, and asked a little surprised when he heard this.

It's that time of year when it's time to start planning for the New Year.

I don't know when the custom started. Some people say that the gods need sacrifices and the world needs to be lively.Some people also said that it was because someone strayed into the fairyland by chance and saw that a banquet was being held in the sky at this time, so the world began to follow suit, and everyone would prepare for the new year at this time.

Uh, Shen Changling froze for a moment, then downed a glass of wine in one gulp.

The wine is cold but gently slides through the throat, burning into a warm current in the stomach, and the faint peach blossom fragrance lingers on the tip of the nose.

"New Year's Eve, yes, it's also the New Year's Eve here." Holding the empty cup in a daze, Shen Changling's eyes were a little dazed.

Since a long time ago, it seems that I have been living this kind of festival alone.

No, no, when he was still young, it seemed that there was a child who spent the New Year with him.

That was also the first time he had company in his memory, right?Although later he had already forgotten all this.

In other words, it is forced to have a blurred memory.

He raised his hand and poured another glass of wine. This time, following Duan Shuangming's example, Shen Changling began to spin the wine glass on his fingertips, admiring the light pink peach blossom wine reflected in the moonlight.

"By the Chinese New Year, everything will probably settle down..." Duan Shuangming said inarticulately as he drank the wine he had been playing with.

He swallowed some of the wine slowly, and tasted it slowly on the tip of his tongue. Feeling the silky touch spread in his mouth, he couldn't help squinting his eyes, obviously enjoying it very much.

However, his eyes looked a little melancholy, looking through the bustling crowd to the unknown distance.

"It seems that you really knew what was going to happen..." With raised eyebrows, Shen Changling tilted his head to look at Duan Shuangming, and he raised his glass as a signal.

It was too frustrating to say such words in such a scene. After saying the words, Shen Changling felt that he had made a slip of the tongue, so he gestured for the wine glass.

After all, it is a rare leisure time, it is better to enjoy the beautiful scenery quietly.

"Yeah, there are some things you can't do, and some things you know you can't do, but you have to do them. If that's the case, then you can only do your best and leave everything to God's will." Refilling the wine glass, Duan Shuang smiled for a moment.

These things that are too easy to get, like this wine, are beautiful, but they will be broken at the first touch, and will be blown away without a trace when the sun comes out.

Only the fruit that has been brewed through hardships can have an excellent taste, just like this altar of peach blossom wine that has experienced ice and snow.

"Haha, so what if you know, so what if you don't know? I have to drink today and get drunk today, don't ask what will happen tomorrow!" Shen Changling smiled lightly with his wine-soaked lips slightly raised.

"That's right, it's rare to have such a beautiful day, let's have a drink together!" After drinking the last glass of wine, Duan Shuangming leaned to the side, lazily looking at the moonlight and said.

Shen Changling looked at him, and suddenly thought of something, turned Liushuang into a piccolo, and a piece of music would be played with the movement of his fingertips.

The sound of the flute was melodious in the night sky. This piece was very lively and cheerful. It was just the kind that was suitable for playing at festivals and feasts. Shen Changling also played it very carefully.

"Yeah, it's beautiful..." Over there, Duan Shuangming leaned to the side, squinting his eyes and talking sleepily, not sure if he was talking about the music or the night scene...
