What is the one-character name (15)
It was that dream again.
The entire world seemed to be on fire, the sky a dazzling yellow, the ground ablaze with fiery red lava. Dust flew, the lava simmered, and on the only remaining clearing, a white-haired girl, covered in wounds, slowly crawled towards a figure in red.
"Save me... Save me..." A faint whisper emanated from the emaciated body. Dry dust rolled over her again and again, staining her rare snow-white hair. The lava had branded ugly scars on her snow-white skin. She wore a look of pain, but her eyes, clear as dew, refused to shed tears.
"Help me."
The figure in red remained unmoved. The fiery red hem of her dress was lifted by the hot wind, illuminating it even brighter in the flames, like a blood-red rose blooming in the blaze.
"Save me." The girl in white was already unconscious, but she had not given up on living.
Li Zhaoyue wanted to reach out and help her, but he couldn't move. The fire was getting bigger and bigger, and the girl was about to be engulfed by the flames!
ah!
It was a scream of unwillingness. The white-haired girl was engulfed by the rapidly expanding flames, but she still stubbornly refused to shed tears.
"You will regret it! Li Zhaoyue, you will definitely regret it!"
A sharp scream penetrated his brain membrane. Li Zhaoyue looked at the red figure in astonishment. He saw the man slowly turn around, revealing a face exactly like his own.
The dream quickly collapsed, and Li Zhaoyue felt his body lighten. He suddenly sat up in bed, gasping for breath. He felt a slight chill, and when he touched his back, his clothes were completely wet.
It took her a long time to come out of the dream. As soon as the trance left her body, her head started to hurt again. She rubbed her temples and rolled around in bed several times before getting up reluctantly.
As soon as I got out of bed, I suddenly remembered what happened yesterday, and it reappeared in my mind completely without any ambiguity.
My already painful head hurt even more.
She remembered how she forcefully kissed Xu Xing, how she made Xu Xing say that he loved her... She remembered everything clearly!
The storybook said that people would not remember many things when they were drunk, but she remembered them so clearly.
Li Zhaoyue covered his face tiredly and slid to the ground helplessly.
This is so embarrassing. What should I do if I see Xu Xing today? Or should I just pretend I don't remember...
Huh? Li Zhaoyue rubbed her eyes and thought she saw the ground shake for a moment. She lowered her hand and touched the ground. It was solid, not shaking at all.
It seems that she was too drunk yesterday and hasn't recovered yet.
Li Zhaoyue sighed, got up from the ground, and was about to go to the dressing table to put on her makeup when the vase on the windowsill fell down with a bang.
The porcelain vase hit the ground and shattered with a snap. The fragments rolled around on the ground, unable to stop. At this moment, Li Zhaoyue clearly felt the ground shaking. She quickly grabbed the edge of the screen and managed to keep her balance.
If the vibration just now was a drizzle, then the vibration now was devastating and merciless. Everything in the room shook uncontrollably. Li Zhaoyue steadied himself, found the right moment, and pounced out the door.
At this moment, the sky appeared a strange yellow color, and the barrier that was invisible in the past suddenly appeared. A large number of spiritual people were gathering here continuously.
No. Li Zhaoyue stared at the sky, remembering that Yiziyuan was located in the middle of the floating island. How could it possibly be attacked by spirits? Either the spirits were launching a large-scale, planned attack, or there was something wrong with Cangyun City's barrier.
By the way, go find the master!
She immediately turned around and ran towards Zhu Ming's courtyard. The massive tremor didn't hinder her pace; instead, it gave her strength, allowing her to run even faster towards the courtyard. Li Zhaoyue was also surprised; with her previous skills, she would never have been able to do this.
However, there have been so many incredible things happening recently that she didn't pay much attention to it.
"Master! Master!" She rushed to the gate of Zhu Ming's courtyard and shouted inside. After shouting more than a dozen times with no response, Li Zhaoyue sensed something was wrong and tried to rush back inside. Just then, the ground began to shake less frequently, allowing her to stand firmly on the ground and enter the open room.
As soon as she entered, she saw books scattered all over the floor. Li Zhaoyue quickly glanced around and saw a bulge on the bed that looked suspicious. She was overjoyed and shouted "Master" and went to lift the quilt.
As the quilt left the bed, the sound of stones turning suddenly resounded throughout the room, and a dark passage appeared at her feet.
Li Zhaoyue was stunned for a moment, and the quilt in his hand fell to the ground with a snap.
The passage was pitch black, but the stairs inside were smooth, indicating that people often came and went. Li Zhaoyue hesitated.
Zhu Ming enjoyed studying strange sword techniques and ancient methods, but Li Zhaoyue never heard any noise coming from next door. Zhu Ming's courtyard was almost always silent, so it was not surprising that she had a secret passage in her room.
Master has never liked others prying into her life. Besides, seeing that there is no one in the room, could it be that Master has already discovered the anomaly and is already discussing countermeasures with Elder Feng and others?
Li Zhaoyue stood at the edge of the passage, feeling torn.
"Ah!" A scream suddenly came from the passage. It sounded like Zhu Ming's. Li Zhaoyue almost instantly lay down at the side of the passage and listened.
"I didn't expect you to hide so deeply?" This time I heard it! It was Zhu Ming's voice!
And it sounds like the master is in danger.
Li Zhaoyue took a step forward without hesitation and entered the secret passage.
The secret passage was dark. Li Zhaoyue fumbled for an illumination charm and cautiously descended. The path wound for a long time before the staircase finally disappeared, replaced by steep rock. She waved the illumination charm forward and saw stalactites overhead and puddles of water beneath the ground.
The tunnel was too narrow, and Li Zhaoyue had to constantly adjust his posture to avoid the sharp rocks. He also had to pay extra attention to his footing, as he could easily fall into the water below. The water didn't look deep, so there might be some poisonous insects hiding in it.
Li Zhaoyue was concentrating and moving forward cautiously. Suddenly, she tripped over a stone and stumbled forward, landing on a patch of soft grass.
A blue light slowly appeared in front of her eyes. She climbed up and was shocked by the scene in front of her.
The air was filled with floating blue cotton wool, and the green grass stretched as far as the eye could see. Each blue cotton wool creature had a nearly transparent silk thread attached to its tail. She got up from the ground and followed the silk threads forward.
A familiar voice suddenly sounded in my head.
"Master has agreed. After this retreat, we can leave Yiziyuan together."
"But I just want to leave. Senior Sister, you are obviously living well here."
"Who would like to practice all day long? Well, Master has agreed anyway, so what's there to be afraid of? Master may have a strange temper, but he never lies."
What happened? Why did she suddenly think of this? Li Zhaoyue frowned uncomfortably. She felt a strange sensation in her chest. The blue cotton wool floated around her, making the pain in her chest even more unbearable.
She gritted her teeth, clutched her chest, and continued walking forward. She hadn't forgotten why she came down here. Her master might be in danger.
She must find her master quickly.
The further we walked, the more blue cotton wool floated around, and the colder it became around us.
"I know my little junior sister likes pink the most, so I brought you a pink sweet cake!"
A taste of rust rose in Li Zhaoyue's throat.
"Actually, I don't like cultivating immortality. I just want to live happily and freely go wherever I want."
The girl's smile bloomed in the blooming fireworks, and Li Zhaoyue suddenly spat out blood and fell to the ground.
Her fingertips touched something cold, and she looked up to see a cold ice coffin. The blue cotton wool in the air was so dense that it was like a piece of cloth covering her head.
The pain in her chest finally disappeared, replaced by an unbearable headache.
Lin Xian never came back. She was like a playmate that Li Zhaoyue had imagined out of thin air, leaving no trace around anyone except her.
Her master didn't treat her badly, but instead obeyed her in everything. Everyone said that she was the only disciple of the strongest swordsman on the Floating Island, and that she was lucky and destined to be rich and prosperous.
She clearly remembered Lin Xian, but no one else remembered Lin Xian.
Later, later... Li Zhaoyue covered his head, closed his eyes, and screamed in pain.
"What happened next? What happened next!"
She struggled to get up from the ground, but fell back after seeing the person in the ice coffin.
This is impossible! This is impossible!
Li Zhaoyue looked at Lin Xian's peaceful face in the ice coffin in horror and kept backing away.
It was an unusually damp and cold winter day. She accidentally fell into this secret room. She walked forward and found Lin Xian, who was dying, on the grass.
She was emaciated and pale, clearly looking tortured. Li Zhaoyue wanted to save her, but he couldn't get out.
"I'm beyond saving, Ah Yue, hurry up and leave. Get out of Yiziyuan and don't let Master find you!"
"Is it? Is it?" Li Zhaoyue choked, tears falling down her face. "Is it because of me that Master punished you like this?"
"Senior Sister, Master punished you because I had to go out, right?"
Lin Xian reached out to wipe away her tears, but they fell halfway. She had no strength left, only a thin layer of skin on her body. She could only hold on to this point.
"I don't care, I must take you out. Senior sister, please hold on a little longer." Li Zhaoyue hugged her tightly in his arms and cried.
"Are you sure this will break the curse?"
"It is confirmed at the moment, but we still need a few disciples to verify it."
"I'll help you find it."
A conversation was heard in the distance. Lin Xian suddenly pushed Li Zhaoyue behind him, squeezed out the last bit of spiritual power in his body, and cast an invisibility spell on her.
The sound of conversation was getting closer and closer. Li Zhaoyue saw a man and a woman walking towards them. One of them was their master Zhu Ming, and the other man was wearing black clothes and carrying a sword, dressed like a knight.
She had seen him before; he was her master's good friend, named Wei Zhegu.
"You are a good disciple. How can you persist for so long?" Wei Zhegu looked at Lin Xian in surprise and praised.
