Chapter 103
Ji Tang forced herself to cheer up. She closed the book and put it back in its place. She fixed her eyes on the burning white candle, then stood up and blew out the flame.
This stone chamber is what Su Jinzhou has been thinking about. The candlelight has been on all the time, which means that Su Jinzhou has been thinking about this matter. Blowing out the candle will not erase these portraits and Su Jinzhou's obsession, but it can always give him a little breathing room.
She left the stone chamber and the walls closed automatically.
When Ji Tang came out of the magic cave, he saw Su Jinzhou walking quickly towards him with a teapot in his hand. He hadn't had time to hide the anxious look on his face, as he had obviously noticed that the candle was out.
He came over quickly, and Jitang took the teapot before Su Jinzhou could speak.
She turned around and sat at the stone table beside her, pouring a cup of tea for herself and Su Jinzhou.
Su Jinzhou's chest was heaving a little quickly. His eyes were always following Ji Tang. He took a step to follow him, and his breathing had returned to normal when he sat down.
Ji Tang took a sip of tea slowly, his eyes suddenly lit up, "It's cooked Pu'er."
Su Jinzhou's mind was still on the extinguished candle. "Did you just go to the magic cave?"
"Yes," Jitang said with a smile, "There are many of my magic weapons in it."
Su Jinzhou's eyes were a little confused.
He didn't enter the dream on his own initiative this time, so the dream was somewhat out of his control. For a moment, he couldn't tell which stage of Ji Tang he was in.
But listening to Jitang's words, we can first confirm that he is not still young.
Su Jinzhou knew that this was a dream and Ji Tang in the dream was just a fantasy, but he still cared very much about Ji Tang's reaction.
He saw that Jitang looked calm, but he was still nervous.
He asked tentatively, "Did you see anything in the magic cave?"
Ji Tang raised his eyes, "What did you see? Are you talking about Ji Yao?"
Su Jinzhou's heart skipped a beat.
Since she mentioned Ji Yao, it seems that Ji Tang in the dream had already experienced the battle with the Nightmare Clan, that is, the stage after she stabbed him with a sword.
The difference is that in reality, he was seriously injured and lost consciousness, and was taken back to the sect by Elder Qin and his fellow disciples, and only woke up after a long time.
But in the dream, Ji Tang sat facing him calmly and was in the mood to drink tea.
What about the white candle?
Jitang didn't look like he had discovered the stone chamber, but the white candle suddenly went out.
Is it because he saw Ji Tang in real life and relaxed, and subconsciously put those who hurt Ji Tang behind him?
Su Jinzhou frowned tightly and was secretly angry with himself.
At this moment, the extinguished white candle in the stone chamber ignited again, and the fire was even more intense than before.
Ji Tang was completely unaware of this and was still thinking that once the candlelight went out, his senior brother could finally relax for a short while.
The two of them had their own thoughts and just drank half a pot of tea quietly.
Jitang always has something on his mind, and he feels uncomfortable if he doesn't say it out loud.
Seeing Su Jinzhou put down his teacup, she tried to speak casually and casually, "Speaking of Jiyao..."
She keenly noticed that Su Jinzhou's hand gripping the edge of the teacup tightened.
Jitang felt sad.
She knew that this was like a scar that could not be mentioned. As long as it was mentioned, it would be cruelly uncovering the scar. The moment it was uncovered, what would be revealed in front of them would be a bloody wound, which would immediately hurt their hearts.
She hesitated again.
The wound has healed, and although the scar will never disappear, it is still healed. As long as there is no torn flesh and dripping blood, they can ignore it, ignore it, and pretend it doesn't exist.
"Don't be afraid," he said.
Ji Tang was slightly stunned.
It was Su Jinzhou's cold voice, but unlike the cold voice, his tone was gentle, and it sounded like he was coaxing someone gently.
At this moment, time intertwines.
Jitang stood against everyone again.
There was darkness in her eyes. All the people, whether they were from the same clan or human cultivators, seemed to have turned into twisted black shadows. They trapped Ji Tang in the middle, making it airtight. The sharp sound pierced her eardrums and penetrated her heart.
She drifted in the endless dark ocean, floating up and down in a daze.
——"Don't be afraid."
In the endless darkness of despair, there was a moon-white light that always protected her.
Her dull eyes were suddenly filled with light.
Su Jinzhou stood in front of her.
His broad shoulders shielded her from most of the resentful, hostile, disgusted and sarcastic glances.
When she was about to suffocate, a small piece of pure barrier was erected for her, which was the only place that allowed her to catch her breath.
Ji Tang was lost in memories until a warm hand gently held the back of his hand.
"What am I... afraid of?" Ji Tang finally broke free from her memories. She raised the corners of her mouth to make the curve of her smile look more natural.
Su Jinzhou held Ji Tang's hand tightly. Her hand was shaking uncontrollably, and Su Jinzhou could feel it.
"We, Jitang, are naturally not afraid of anything."
His calm voice slowly calmed Jitang's panicked heart.
Ji Tang wanted to smile, wanted to say that she was fine, but her expression was stiff, and the smile she forced might be uglier than crying, "Brother, do you blame me?"
This was what she wanted to ask him most.
Without warning, she thrust her sword at him, the sharp blade grazing his beating heart.
——It was she who stabbed the only light with her own hands.
The last time he entered the dream, Jitang asked him.
Did that sword hurt?
Hearing this, his breath became disordered, thinking that it was the work of his inner demon.
Even in the dreams he constructed, he imagined Ji Tang, who had never experienced the battle with the Nightmare Clan. It was obvious that he was seriously injured by the sword, so he deliberately avoided this memory.
He protected her with all his heart, but when he became the target of public criticism, she stabbed him with a sword when he was completely off guard.
He fought against everyone for her alone, but she hit him back with a sword.
How cruel.
Even if Su Jinzhou liked her, this was an old scar between them that could not be erased.
Even after healing, it still hurts.
Ji Tang mustered up the courage to look at Su Jinzhou, but as soon as he raised his eyes, tears began to slide down his face.
Su Jinzhou was visibly panicked. He stood up suddenly, knocking over the teacup on the table. The brown tea soaked his black coat and quickly disappeared.
He took a step in front of Ji Tang, lowered his body, bent his legs, and half-knelt very close to her.
He wiped the tears that fell from her cheeks with the back of his fingers.
Ji Tang closed one eye slightly, and first felt a slight warmth on his cheek, followed by a slight tremor.
Su Jinzhou's fingers were shaking, but he tried hard to restrain himself, not wanting her to notice.
It's too late. Ji Tang sniffed and said in his heart, I have already found out.
He felt distressed and anxious, "I didn't mention it because I was afraid you would be like this."
Ji Tang asked with a nasal tone: "What's wrong with me?"
Su Jinzhou was helpless. He thought she was quite cute for refusing to admit it. He wanted to laugh, but before he could do so, he felt heartbroken by her tears.
"Like this," he coaxed softly, his hands gently pinching the sides of her nose.
Jitang started blowing his nose out of habit.
Su Jinzhou was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
This heavy stone had been weighing on Jitang's heart for a long time, but after crying, he felt a lot lighter.
She tugged at Su Jinzhou sheepishly, "Get up."
The smile in Su Jinzhou's eyes deepened.
Isn't it too late to be shy now?
He didn't get up, but held Jitang's cheeks with both hands. "I was afraid that you would feel guilty and sad, so I wanted to keep it secret. But you're so good that you can think of this matter even when drinking tea."
Ji Tang thought to himself: The people in my previous dreams were all me, I didn’t just bring this up suddenly this time.
He rubbed Ji Tang's cheek and asked her, "You used so much spiritual power to protect me at that time. Was it a big impact on your sea of consciousness?"
Ji Tang pursed his lips and tears started to fall again.
Senior brother knows everything!
Ji Tang was choked up and couldn't speak. After a long while, he spoke intermittently: "So... so, you... you... must... not blame me..."
blame?
A flash of bitterness passed through Su Jinzhou's eyes.
When he woke up, he couldn't find Jitang and was almost going crazy with anxiety.
If he really blamed her, he blamed her for disappearing without a word, leaving him unable to find her anywhere in the world.
Tears flowed down Su Jinzhou's wrist into his sleeve, sliding across his skin, making it hard to ignore.
He wanted to say, "Stop crying." If he continued crying like this, he would probably die of pain.
But he swallowed the words back when they came to his lips, and finally let Jitang vent.
Junior sister was wronged, and the pain he felt was nothing.
The scar that had been there for thousands of years was washed away clean by Jitang's tears.
She finally stopped crying, and with two swollen walnut-shaped eyes, she watched the boat run out of sleep.
Su Jinzhou's heart had already melted. When he met her red and swollen eyes, he couldn't help but rub them with his hands.
Jitang's cheeks were slightly puffed up by his kneading.
"Senior Brother."
"Um?"
"There's still my snot on your hands..."
Su Jinzhou:......
I was so panicked just now that I forgot to use the water purification technique.
Ji Tang pouted, "I am a powerful being in the Tribulation Crossing Stage, Nightmare Lord!"
Su Jinzhou hurriedly made amends, washing away all the tears and snot from Ji Tang's tear-stained face and hands. "Just a little snot, it won't affect the power of Nightmare Lord."
Ji Tang turned his eyes away rather proudly and awkwardly, but his hands pulled him hard, "Hurry up and get up!"
Su Jinzhou stood up with a smile.
The more he indulged her, the more pain Ji Tang felt in his heart.
He knew that this was a dream, and he also knew that once the dream was broken, everything in the dream would be an illusion.
But he still explained earnestly and coaxed her. Even if Ji Tang was just a fantasy, he did not give her a perfunctory answer.
Ji Tang has never been so grateful as he is now. He is grateful that he can enter Su Jinzhou's dream and grateful that the girl in the dream is not a fantasy.
This is really great.
The tea in the pot was almost gone, and the dream began to shake unsteadily.
Jitang closed his eyes and opened them again. He had woken up from his dream and was lying on the warm bed in the cave.
She jerked herself up and looked outside.
At the same time, Su Jinzhou's voice rang out from beside the table, "Awake?"
Ji Tang then realized he was there, "Brother, you haven't left yet?"
"Well," he smiled, noticing Ji Tang's gaze, he raised the magic weapon in his hand, "This is the Broken Golden Bone Whip you used before. I think you can form a pill now. If you don't have enough nightmare energy, you can still use this."
Ji Tang suddenly realized and finally knew the reason for this dream.
Su Jinzhou calmly put the Broken Golden Bone Whip back into the storage bag and said, "Ask me for it when you want to use it."
Jitang nodded.
Ji Tang guessed that there should be other magic weapons of hers in his storage bag.
After the dream just now, the nightmare aura on the Broken Golden Bone Whip was almost gone. Although his action of putting it into the storage bag was natural, Ji Tang was very sensitive to his own nightmare aura and would not be wrong.
He probably wanted to put the Broken Golden Bone Whip into the storage bag for a while, and use the nightmare energy from other magic weapons to infect the Broken Golden Bone Whip, so as not to arouse Ji Tang's suspicion.
Ji Tang pretended not to notice, "Okay, I have enough nightmare energy stored in my Dantian, I don't need the Broken Golden Bone Whip."
She slowly lay back on the bed and glanced at him sideways.
Su Jinzhou loosened his grip on the storage bag.
Jitang pulled up the thin quilt to cover half of his face, hiding his smile.
