[Chen Qingling] Dawn to evening

After tidying up all the belongings, Jiang Cheng quietly entered the bedroom.The Lan family has a regular routine, Jiang Cheng thought that Lan Xichen was already asleep, but he didn't expect to see him meditating on the bed wearing a white underwear as soon as he entered the door.

Hearing the movement, Lan Xichen opened his eyes.

"Haven't rested yet? Go to sleep." Jiang Cheng was afraid of disturbing Lan Xichen, he had just washed outside, and now he came in wearing a robe and holding a quilt in his hand.After putting down the quilt in his hand, Lan Xichen found that there was another set of clothes on it. The purple material was embroidered with lotus patterns, and everything from inner clothes to outer robes was available.

"I know you are Xijie, I am afraid that you will come out in a hurry without bringing a change of clothes for you to wear tomorrow. This set of clothes was made at the beginning of this year, and the size is a bit too big, so I have not been upper body. I think you should wear the same clothes. Still I put a set in the Qiankun bag, and I'll change it for you on the way." Jiang Cheng said as he picked up the clothes and put them on the small table next to Lan Xichen's bed.

When preparing to go out, Jiang Cheng found himself two sets of clothes for a change of clothes, remembering that Lan Wangji said to let Lan Xichen stay for a few more days, but he didn't say so in front of Lan Xichen, and he didn't expect to go out at the time , presumably Lan Xichen didn't plan to change his clothes.They were on the battlefield together during the Sun Shooting War, and they knew a little about each other's daily habits. Everyone in the Lan family knew about Xijie.Seeing that he had clothes suitable for Lan Xichen, Jiang Cheng took them along without thinking too much.

Lan Xichen really didn't expect Jiang Cheng's actions—the suzerain of Jiang's temper is not very good, but he is a very careful person.He stood up to thank him.

"If you want to say thank you, I should say it. Go to bed early, and wake up early tomorrow." Jiang Cheng told Lan Xichen that there was no need to do so.

"it is good."

Seeing Lan Xichen lay down, Jiang Cheng turned off the lights and also lay down.Originally he thought he would not be able to fall asleep, but for some reason, with Lan Xichen around, he seemed to have a reassurance, and he was no longer so anxious. In addition, his body was too tired, and soon there was a soft snoring sound.

Lan Xichen also thought that he would not be able to sleep.After all, he has been sleeping alone since he was three years old, even if he fled that year, including on the battlefield later.Unexpectedly, today he would sleep in the same room with someone else, and Jiang Cheng, who was not familiar enough to this level.But I don't know if it was infected by Jiang Cheng's sleepiness, or because of his own routine, Lan Xichen's consciousness soon fell into darkness.

In the early morning, Lan Xichen opened his eyes and saw a scene different from the cold room, so he calmed down.Soon, consciousness returned, and he sat up.

Jiang Cheng had something on his mind. Although he slept fast yesterday, he slept lightly. He woke up with a start at the slightest disturbance, and sat up abruptly.

Lan Xichen wanted to take his clothes behind the screen and change, but seeing Jiang Cheng get up, he asked, "But did you bother?"

"No." Jiang Cheng still had the ignorance on his face when he just woke up, and he subconsciously shook his head when he heard Lan Xichen's words.

Lan Xichen was amused by Jiang Cheng's rare childish appearance, walked to the washbasin stand and handed Jiang Cheng a wet towel.The water was changed after he washed yesterday, presumably it was used to wash Jiang Cheng's face, but he came in after washing, so the water was very clean.

"But I didn't wake up, why don't I sleep for a while? It's just a little bit bright now." Lan Xichen asked Jiang Cheng.

"No." Jiang Cheng wiped his face with a towel, "Leave early, get down early, change your clothes first, I'll let them prepare breakfast for you." As he said, Jiang Cheng put on his shoes and put on his clothes After walking out, someone soon came in with hot water for Lan Xichen to wash up. When he was done tidying up, Jiang Cheng was already waiting for him in the living room.I saw Jiang Cheng in a neat purple outfit, sitting at the dining table with a simple breakfast on the table.

When Lan Xichen looked at Jiang Cheng, Jiang Cheng also looked up at him.It was the first time for Jiang Cheng to see Lan Xichen wearing such dark or even bright clothes, but unexpectedly, he took advantage of him to make him look even more beautiful. "Bright and clean as the moon, white and flawless", Jiang Cheng understood the meaning of these two words thoroughly today.It's just that the light-colored cloud pattern on the forehead seemed a little out of place. For some reason, Jiang Cheng had the urge to take it off.However, this impulse had just begun to be interrupted by Lan Xichen's voice, and Jiang Cheng didn't even have time to think about it.

"Master Jiang, morning."

"Morning. Please use up some." Jiang Cheng asked someone to sit down, and served Lan Xichen a bowl of porridge with his own hands.

"Sect Master Jiang doesn't need to be so polite..."

Jiang Cheng shook his head, blocking Lan Xichen's words. "Let me do something, and be more at ease."

"Okay." Lan Xichen took the bowl Jiang Cheng handed over with both hands, and picked up Jiang Cheng's bowl to serve him porridge. When he handed it to Jiang Cheng, he smiled and said, "To each other."

After breakfast, Jiang Cheng wanted to take another look at Jin Ling.Lan Xichen also wanted to take the opportunity to say a few words to Sizhui and Jingyi.When the two appeared together in Jinling's courtyard, the three little ones were having breakfast in the living room with the door open, seeing from a distance that Mr. Zewu was wearing a dark purple dress, Lan Jingyi directly put the steamed stuffed bun in his mouth. It fell into the porridge bowl.

"Is...Zewu-jun wearing the clothes of Sect Master Jiang?" Lan Jingyi asked Lan Sizhui in disbelief, "Why, why..."

"It's such a good match!" Ouyang Zizhen answered.

"What's good for you? I'll eat your steamed stuffed bun." Lan Jingyi unhappily picked up a steamed stuffed bun and stuffed it into Ouyang Zizhen's mouth.

It was Lan Sizhui who was more common, and calmly put down his bowl and chopsticks and got up to salute his elders. Only then did Lan Jingyi and Ouyang Zizhen react, and those who spit out buns spat out buns, and those who wiped their mouths also quickly got up to salute.

This small episode of the three of them did not attract the attention of Lan Xichen and Jiang Cheng. The two of them looked at Jin Ling, looked at Jin Ling, and explained to each other. After finishing their respective affairs, they set off together in the southwest direction.Along the way, apart from eating and resting for a while in the towns they passed, they have been using their swords all the time.It was not until noon the next day that they rushed out of Yulin territory.

"This place is remote, full of miasma and poison, and there are no immortals guarding it. It's very barbaric. Let's be careful in everything." Lan Xichen and Jiang Cheng said, and at the same time took out two small porcelain bottles from the universe bag.Handed one of them to Jiang Cheng, "This is Qingyan Pill. We will enter the miasma area in a while, and we will take one every two hours. Don't forget."

"it is good."

The area of ​​Yulin is not small, and Lan Xichen also saw that Yingshan was within the territory of Yulin in the book, so they had to find the exact location one by one.

Fortunately, Yingshan has its own characteristics.Yulin Mountain has a lot of water and lush vegetation, so it is easy to get drought wherever you go. As long as you find the most savage mountain in Yulin, you will be close. What's more, the book also made a detailed description of the direction of Yingshan's spiritual veins. Described, the two hovered in the air for a few laps, quickly found the target, immediately lowered their sabers, and landed on a mountain that best fit these characteristics.

When they got to the mountain, the two of them could no longer control their swords. One was that the spiritual power would be too scattered to frighten away the spiritual plants and birds, and the other was that it was not as convenient as walking while sticking to the mountain, unless it was that kind of cliff.

Compared with other hills they passed by, this place is indeed a bit more desolate, but the forests are not dense enough, and bare land can be seen occasionally.But as far as the eye can see, there are still many tall and short bushes, and it doesn't affect the miasma floating in the air.Therefore, the two had already taken the Qingzan pill before landing.

"What are the characteristics of this 杻橿?" Jiang Cheng didn't have time to ask Lan Xichen before, but now he started to look for it, of course he had to ask clearly.

"According to the description in the book, the body of the 杻橿 is called the 杻橿, which looks like the sandalwood. This wood is often twisted and forked, winding up from the root of the tree. It can form a small piece of pure forest or grow together with other miscellaneous trees. Highlands, rocks, this kind of tree itself is very tall, but the spirited 杻橿 is only half the height of a human being. It is attached to other tall 杻橿, blending with it, and can move at any time, it is difficult for people to find .But since becoming a spirit, you must have enough aura. You and I are not low in cultivation. If you feel it with your heart, you can always find it. Now, let's start looking for it from Takigi."

"Okay." Jiang Cheng nodded.

Yingshan is very big, but this mountain can breed spirit wood and spirit birds, so it must not be an easy place. I don't know if it will be dangerous. The two of them discussed it together and thought it would be safer to search together.The two of them had landed at the top of the mountain, so they only needed to check down a little bit at this moment.

After walking to several places with relatively dense forests, I couldn't find any taki trees, but the sun was about to set.

"Zewu-jun, let's find an open place to light a fire and eat something. It must be hard to find at night, we need to find a place to rest." Seeing that the sky was getting dark, Jiang Cheng stopped Lan Xichen and said.

They hadn't rested for two days and one night, and he let Lan Xichen walk the mountain road with him for half a day on an empty stomach, Jiang Cheng felt a little inappropriate.He was anxious not to feel hungry, but he forgot that there was still someone with him, but Lan Xichen didn't even have a word of complaint, Jiang Cheng was very grateful for this.

Jiang Cheng recalled the places they had just passed, and there was a place suitable for camping.After discussing with Lan Xichen, he decided to retreat there, light a fire and eat some dry food.

It is said to be camping, but it is just taking out a few thick blankets as bedding.Jiang Cheng took out the water bag and dry food from the Qiankun bag and handed them to Lan Xichen to sit down and rest.He went to find firewood for a fire.

"This mountain is full of miasma. There is no living thing to eat. Even if there is, it is better not to eat it. I will wrong Zewu-jun. It is rude to let you starve with me all day."

Lan Xichen smiled when he heard this, "I've said it many times, Sect Master Jiang doesn't have to be so polite. Or do you think I'm someone who can't bear hardships?"

Jiang Cheng thought to himself, you look so immortal, of course you don't seem to be able to endure hardships.But he certainly couldn't say that.

"of course not."

"Sect Master Jiang, no one told you that you can't lower your eyes and wander when you're lying?" Lan Xichen smiled even more, "I was indeed not able to move my limbs when I was young. That year when the Wen family rebelled and asked the Lan family to burn it down I don't know where the clouds are, I was forced to flee with my collection of books and files, I also suffered a lot, but I also learned a lot, such as..." Speaking of this, Lan Xichen suddenly suppressed his smile, and there was a smile between his brows. Melancholy.

"Like what?" Jiang Cheng was still waiting for the next question, but he didn't wait for it, so he couldn't help asking. When he looked up and saw Lan Xichen's expression under the firelight, he was a little surprised.

You were fine just now, why are you suddenly unhappy?

"What's the matter?" Jiang Cheng is a very sensitive person, and it is because of his sensitivity that his temper is violent. He sensed that something was wrong with Lan Xichen, and he was afraid that he had said something that he shouldn't have said, so he hurriedly asked.

"Oh, it's nothing, it's just that I feel a little bit emotional when I think of someone." At that time, that person was still called Meng Yao. "I learned how to wash clothes, how to make a fire with flint, and how to cook." Lan Xichen pretended that nothing had happened, and continued to speak with a smile, but he hadn't fully mastered the skill of controlling expressions.

"If you don't want to laugh, then don't laugh, or does Mr. Zewu think that Jiang Wanyin is the kind of person who insists on forcing unhappy people to laugh with me to relieve boredom?"

After Jiang Cheng said this, he felt a little regretful.In fact, his original intention was to comfort Lan Xichen not to pretend to laugh.But after so many years, he was used to speaking like this, and unconsciously put on the airs of Sect Master Jiang.He really looks more and more like A Niang, and he can't even speak properly.Just want to make new friends?Even Lan Xichen, who is known to have a good temper, can offend him, so how can he make friends!

Jiang Cheng was reflecting on himself there, but Lan Xichen thought that Jiang Cheng was angry, so he hurriedly explained: "Sect Master Jiang misunderstood, I just remembered an old friend, and I was a little lamenting that the world is impermanent. In the past, a person who seemed so good, In the end, why did it have such an ending..." Lan Xichen's voice became lower and lower, obviously falling into grief.

"Things are inherently impermanent. I used to live carefree in Lianhuawu, with parents and elder sisters. But one day, all of these will be gone, leaving only a lonely Jin Ling. That child doesn't even have his own parents. I don’t even have a chance to remember how I looked. But so what? Don’t we still have to live the same life?” Jiang Cheng added some firewood to the bonfire. "If you hide in the shell because of the impermanence of the world and ignore the world, you won't be injured? Maybe. But what about the previous wound? Will it scab or grow bigger until it bleeds and festers? You are wounded all over your body? Why bother, no matter how bad it is, it is still covered with bruises. Why do you have to hide and lick the wounds that cannot be healed by yourself. Maybe you can find a way to heal when you come out. "

Lan Xichen looked up at Jiang Cheng in surprise.He did not expect that Jiang Cheng would say these words to himself, these words from the bottom of his heart can only be understood through personal experience.

The sky was completely dark, and against the background of the bonfire, there seemed to be light in Lan Xichen's eyes, beating slightly.
