Chapter 118 Chapter 118 To die under the peony flowers, to be a ghost is also windy...
Jiang Yan's heart started pounding at the sudden confession.
"Brother seems to be very good at saying sweet words." Jiang Yan half-knelt down, hiding his slightly red ears by lowering his head to put two formation diagrams together.
"Is there?" Gu Jingyun also squatted beside him and asked.
"have."
"Hmm..." Gu Jingyun pondered for a while, then smiled and said, "Actually, I still have a lot of love words hidden in my heart. Some are my feelings from the bottom of my heart now, and some are what I wanted to say but didn't say when I liked you in the past but you were like a piece of wood and didn't react at all."
"Do you want to listen?" Gu Jingyun asked.
"..." Jiang Yan pinched the two scrolls with his fingers, tightening them slightly, and the corners of the scrolls became wrinkled.
"Ayan?" Gu Jingyun leaned over and rubbed the tip of the young man's ear affectionately with his nose.
Jiang Yan suddenly turned his head and glared at him without any deterrence.
"I do." He stammered, "But you, no, you can't... force me to say it at that time, force me to listen."
Gu Jingyun was stunned for a moment. After he reacted, he almost couldn't stand laughing. He could only crawl on the young man's thin back and bury his head in his neck.
Jiang Yan's face turned red - half out of shame, half out of anger.
"Is there any problem with my request?" Jiang Yan stood up quickly, regardless of the man losing his balance and falling to the ground, and looked down at Gu Jingyun coldly.
"Last time, I told you not to say that kind of thing... but you still forced me to say it..."
Jiang Yan was furious.
Gu Jingyun patted the dirt with his hands and stood up slowly.
His face was full of innocence, and he said, "I just asked you why you were shaking, whether you were comfortable, and where you wanted me to touch you to make you feel comfortable. I always care about your feelings and am afraid that you are uncomfortable. What's wrong with that?"
Jiang Yan choked.
"I won't argue with you!"
Jiang Yan turned away angrily and devoted himself to restoring and solving the formation diagram.
Gu Jingyun smiled, but did not bother him with jokes anymore. Instead, he stood quietly by his side, helping him to hold down the scroll, handing him a charcoal pencil, etc.
Gu Jingyun leaned over to look at the formation diagram.
The formation that looked like a child's sketch was too difficult to solve.
Gu Jingyun's attainment in formations was not as good as Jiang Yan's. He had just begun to understand it, while Jiang Yan had already crawled on a big rock and was writing and drawing on a white paper. He had already solved one third of it.
Gu Jingyun simply stopped making trouble and just focused on helping out.
"I solved it!" Jiang Yan worked hard for a while and finally solved the maze and found a way to leave.
Jiang Yan held a piece of paper covered with characters, and the writing on it was very complicated. Gu Jingyun could understand it at first, but later it became like reading a book written in a foreign language.
Jiang Yan muttered, "Father is such a fool. He wanted to teach me a new formation, but he made it so complicated."
Gu Jingyun said: "Ayan, you have worked hard."
Jiang Yan: "It's OK. Although it's a bit troublesome, I learned a new maze. This formation is quite interesting, from the simplest to the most complex, like an interesting arithmetic problem... If the seniors of Wanfamen see it, they will probably like it."
He looked around and said, "Brother, this formation will refresh the route at any time. We have to leave at the same time if possible."
Gu Jingyun understood.
He replaced the sword behind him with his own and half-knelt in front of Jiang Yan.
Jiang Yan asked blankly: "What?"
The man tilted his head and looked back at him.
"I'll carry you."
Jiang Yan waved his hands repeatedly: "No, no, I mean, we should get closer..."
"When we entered the cave, we were holding hands and standing so close to each other, but we were still separated by the formation."
Gu Jingyun urged: "Hurry up."
"Won't you be very tired?" Jiang Yan asked.
"The weight I usually carry during physical training far exceeds your weight, so don't worry." Gu Jingyun said with a smile.
Jiang Yan thought about it and it made sense.
He leaned sheepishly over the man's broad shoulders and wrapped his arms around his neck.
"Brother has worked hard too." He whispered.
Gu Jingyun chuckled and shook his head, then steadily carried the young man on his back.
The sky was already getting light, and the stars in the sky combined with the white light of the horizon, creating a gorgeous and magnificent sight.
"Which way?" Gu Jingyun asked.
Jiang Yan pointed in a direction and said, "Follow my instructions. Go a hundred steps southwest first. Stop only when I tell you to."
Gu Jingyun believed him.
The southwest direction deviates from the stone path in the bamboo forest, and the further you go, the deeper you go into the bamboo forest.
The bamboo forest is like a huge maze. Once an ordinary person enters it, he can't tell the directions at all. If he wants to leave, he can only walk along one path until the end and grope his way out.
The same is true for Jiang Yan and others now.
But they did not leave, instead they went deeper and deeper.
When Gu Jingyun estimated that he had reached the deepest part of the bamboo forest, Jiang Yan suddenly said, "Take two more steps, then stop."
Gu Jingyun took two accurate steps and stood in the middle of the bamboo.
Jiang Yan breathed a sigh of relief: "Okay, we are out of the bamboo forest now."
Gu Jingyun was surprised: "Huh? Walk out?"
Jiang Yan asked: "Isn't it? I see we are standing on a path in the mountains."
Gu Jingyun: "In front of me is still the bamboo forest, and it is at the deepest part."
“…”
The two looked at each other.
Can this maze allow people to see different scenes?
Jiang Yan pointed out the way out of the bamboo forest in the direction of Gu Jingyun. At this time, in front of him was a mountain road similar to the one when he met Gu Jingyun, and behind him was the Green Bamboo Garden.
Just as he was about to explain to Gu Jingyun, he saw the scenes on both sides rapidly receding.
His eyes blurred, and when he blinked again, he changed from the exit of Qingzhu Garden to the center of Qingzhu Garden.
Jiang Yan was so shocked that he didn't say anything for a long time.
Gu Jingyun asked: "What's wrong?"
He didn't feel anything at all. In his mind, he hadn't moved a single step since Jiang Yan called a halt, and was still standing there.
Jiang Yan told him what he had just seen.
Gu Jingyun pondered: "...It's because I haven't figured out the formation, but I'm tied to you. I can break the formation, but my senses are still confused by the formation."
Therefore, when he told the illusion that the formation wanted him to see, it was equivalent to the formation discovering that there was a "cheater".
The formation will refresh the escape route, and Jiang Yan will be "dragged" back and have to start breaking the formation all over again.
Jiang Yan suggested: "Shall I tell you the process of breaking the formation and the structure of this formation from beginning to end?"
This is also a solution.
Since both of them know how to break the formation, it doesn't count as cheating, and they can naturally see the same thing.
Gu Jingyun said, "Why bother?"
He supported Jiang Yan's back with one hand, the Sumeru Ring on his knuckles flickered with light, and something appeared out of thin air in the man's other hand.
Gu Jingyun held a long black silk ribbon in his hand and handed it to the person behind him.
“Cover my eyes so I can’t see.” The man said lightly.
I don’t know how long it will take to explain the topic, but it only takes half a minute to cover my eyes.
Jiang Yan blindfolded Gu Jingyun with mixed feelings.
A long silk ribbon was tied into a knot behind the man's head, and the ribbon hung down along his long hair, making him look somewhat unruly and free and easy.
Even though the black ribbon could cover 80% of the light, Gu Jingyun could still vaguely see a glimmer of light with his eyes open.
He simply closed his eyes.
"From now on, I won't speak again until we leave the maze. Ayan will have the final say on anything you need me to do and where to go," said Gu Jingyun.
"Oh...oh." The young man responded randomly, seeming a little absent-minded.
Gu Jingyun waited for a few seconds, but Jiang Yan's command did not come.
"Ayan?" he asked curiously.
He waited for a soft and cold hand to gently touch his cheek.
"Brother looks handsome even with his eyes blindfolded." Jiang Yan said with emotion.
Gu Jingyun: "...So you like to play like this? I'll make a note of it."
Jiang Yan was at a loss: "What is my brother talking about?"
"Nothing." Gu Jingyun said slowly, "We should leave now."
"Yeah!" Jiang Yan nodded.
After that, everything went much more smoothly.
Gu Jingyun was the perfect transportation tool. If he was asked to take five and a half steps to the left, he would never take more than half a step. He closed his eyes, said nothing, and just listened to Jiang Yan's instructions.
Gu Jingyun's perception is very sharp.
Even though he was blindfolded and tried his best to ignore his surroundings and empty his mind, he could still barely guess his surroundings - it was not his fault, because after his body sensed it, his brain figured it out in less than a millisecond.
For example, now.
The wind was whistling in his ears. Gu Jingyun kicked a small stone, and the stone rolled down with a clatter. The valley was dark and bottomless.
Gu Jingyun knew that there was a cliff in front of him.
But Jiang Yan put his arm around his neck and whispered in his ear, "Take three steps forward."
Gu Jingyun did not hesitate and stepped forward into the void.
Every inch of his senses told him that there was an abyss under his feet, but he ignored all the senses that were screaming danger and trusted Jiang Yan first and without hesitation.
It turns out.
Jiang Yan is right, and he is also right to trust.
After taking this step, he did not fall, but instead stood in the air as if he was stepping on solid ground!
Gu Jingyun took two more steps forward.
The surrounding scenery suddenly changed from the top of a cliff surrounded by floating clouds and cold wind to a small hillside on the shade side of Qingyang Mountain, and the exit from the mountain was right in front of me.
Jiang Yan pulled Gu Jingyun's hand and told him a direction without stopping to give instructions.
After losing vision, it is more intuitive to use body language than to say east, west, east and west.
Gu Jingyun followed Jiang Yan's instructions and walked out of the maze step by step.
The moment they completely left Qingyang Mountain, the two of them's cultivation levels returned to normal in an instant, and their limbs were filled with full spiritual energy.
The spiritual power in Dantian seems to be several times stronger than before entering.
Jiang Yan jumped off Gu Jingyun's back.
He felt the spiritual power in his body: "The spiritual energy of the entire mountain is divided into two and injected into our bodies. ...Brother, let me help you untie the ribbon."
"Is this the 'reward' after clearing a level?" Gu Jingyun bent down slightly to make it easier for Jiang Yan to take action.
"Probably." Jiang Yan said.
In fact, after recovering the spiritual power, this thing can be cut in half with the spiritual power in less than a second.
But since Jiang Yan didn't mention it, Gu Jingyun was happy to cooperate.
Ayan tied it himself, so of course he untied it himself.
For Gu Jingyun, isn’t this a kind of “reward”?
As Jiang Yan untied the silk ribbon, he said, "It's a good thing you didn't back off."
If you take a half step back or hesitate for too long, you will have to change your path and start over again when you are about to reach the exit of the maze.
The light returned to Gu Jingyun's eyes. As a cultivator, his body was strong, and he didn't even need time to adapt from extreme darkness to extreme light.
"Didn't you tell me to move forward?" Gu Jingyun said with a smile, "Why would I move around without instructions?"
Jiang Yan said: "I don't believe you didn't notice that there was a cliff in front of you."
Gu Jingyun did not comment: "Yes, I found it, so what?"
Jiang Yan: "Your cultivation at that time was sealed in your body, and you were no different from an ordinary person. Brother, aren't you afraid?"
Gu Jingyun: "With you here, there's nothing to be afraid of."
Jiang Yan: "But I don't have any skills left! Even if I use magic, whether the broom can hold up two people is another matter, and there is a possibility of failure."
Gu Jingyun sighed: "Ayan is probably the reincarnation of a piece of wood... That's all, you don't understand, so I have to be more straightforward."
"Ayan, do you remember? One day in the past, I blindfolded you, took you to the sea of flowers in the valley, and played the piano and flute with you." Gu Jingyun asked.
"Yeah." Jiang Yan nodded.
That day, Gu Jingyun flew him down the valley on his sword, and the two discussed "what would be the reaction of facing the cliff after blindfolding each other".
Jiang Yan clearly remembered Gu Jingyun's answer: "You also said that if the roles were reversed one day, I would cover your eyes and you would dare to jump off a cliff even if it was a thousand-foot cliff."
"You really dare." Jiang Yan said, "Brother, you are really brave."
Is this a question of courage?
Gu Jingyun wanted to pinch the young man's face in annoyance, but Jiang Yan quickly covered his cheeks with both hands, his eyes full of vigilance.
The man laughed in silence and raised his hand to rub the top of Jiang Yan's head.
He laughed and said, "Actually, I didn't say anything else at that time."
"What?" Jiang Yan asked.
"Even if I take the wrong path, what is there to be afraid of if I can fall off a cliff and die with the person I love?"
Gu Jingyun raised his eyebrows, drew out his voice, and said slowly: "Ayan, dying under the peony flowers, even as a ghost is romantic."
As time passed, he finally uttered these frivolous words.
Jiang Yan was stunned for a moment, his face suddenly flushed, and he stammered, unable to speak.
“You…” The young man hesitated and scolded with an evasive look in his eyes, “What are you talking about? Don’t say such nonsense in the future! We are going to ascend together!”
Gu Jingyun apologized swiftly.
Jiang Yan's tone of reprimand was not that harsh, and it sounded very unconfident.
While the two of them were being affectionate, the rabbit who had been waiting for a long time not far away finally couldn't help it.
Is this a love story or a test?
"Ji!!" The rabbit rushed over, stood upright, and kicked with its two hind legs!
The sound of breaking wind was heard.
Gu Jingyun and Jiang Yan separated instantly and looked at the rabbit warily.
That was the rabbit that had been teasing them for a long time, the incarnation of the formation spirit.
The rabbit impatiently pointed at the grass with its pink ears. Gu Jingyun strode over and took out two rings from the grass.
Gu Jingyun’s spiritual vision probed in.
The space inside the ring was filled with good things. The top-grade spirit stones alone filled up two small hills, and there were also many natural treasures related to the formation.
Gu Jingyun showed the ring to Jiang Yan.
After Jiang Yan finished reading, he asked Rabbit: "Is this also a reward?"
The rabbit nodded.
"Thank you, senior." Jiang Yan and Gu Jingyun bowed together.
No one knows how much time has passed since the formation was born with intelligence, so it is naturally a senior.
The rabbit hopped back to Qingyang Mountain.
The pink rabbit ears are swinging back and forth, and it looks like it is in a good mood.
Jiang Yan felt itchy when he saw it.
"senior!"
The rabbit turned around and looked inquiringly.
Jiang Yan asked tentatively: "The younger generation wants to support the seniors, are you willing to go with us?"
——I want to raise a rabbit!
We have a wolf, a horse and a unicorn at home, and now we can have a super rabbit!
Jiang Yan's face was full of anticipation.
The rabbit looked at him, then looked at Gu Jingyun beside him.
Gu Jingyun was startled, and hurriedly acted as a lobbyist: "Senior is a formation spirit, and Ayan is also a natural talent in the field of formations. He knows how to support you and let you practice. Even if you find a better place in the future, it is not too late to leave. We will definitely not restrict your freedom."
Isn’t this better than being alone in Qingyang Mountain?
The rabbit slowly spoke human words, and the voice that spoke was a rough male voice.
It can't be said to be the same as his soft and cute appearance, it can only be said to be completely unrelated.
"I have no destiny with you."
Jiang Yan was unwilling to accept it: "Why?"
Rabbit: "I practice the ruthless way and hate couples."
Jiang Yan: “…”
Gu Jingyun: “…”
The rabbit snorted and ran back without looking back.
Couples who love to show off their affection, get lost! !
