Chapter 160 Lantern Gift Bracelet
She wanted to leave the best impression on her and the most beautiful memory of her companionship.
In this way, even if she doesn't love herself in the future, or can never find herself again, she will not forget this memory.
The people you love who live in your memory are the best.
She will stand in the river of time, looking at you with a warm smile, and become an unreachable light.
The lights came on, and the crowds surged. Lanterns of all kinds filled the long streets, with lotus and carp, shrimp and crab, and even lion and dragon gauze palaces, embellishing the darkness like stars in the world...
The vendors were shouting loudly, the children were jumping around in the crowd, and Bai Yunshu was holding Qi Ningzhu's hand and walking among the crowd.
Qi Ningzhu only felt warmth in his hands, and a warmth naturally arose in his heart.
It would be nice if we could stay together like this forever, holding hands and walking through the hustle and bustle of life together.
What I had always dreamed of, now I got it easily. I started to feel dazed and helpless, and held her hand even tighter.
At this moment, I am not afraid of gossip or comments from people around me.
Looking back at the world, I wait quietly for my old friend to return outside the spring breeze, thinking that you will not leave easily.
The two of them wore the same colored dresses and had otherworldly looks, like a clear night sky. They stood out from the crowd and attracted a lot of attention.
"Ningzhu, does it look good?"
When they came to a lantern stall, Bai Yunshu picked up a blue four-sided flower and plant lantern and asked Qi Ningzhu.
The four sides of the lantern are painted with different patterns, namely plum, orchid, bamboo and chrysanthemum.
Bai Yunshu's hand touched the side of the painting with bamboo.
Ning Zhu, Ning Zhu, once every cloud and every leaf was filled with sorrow, now concentrated in your eyes, the bamboo is also tenacious and indestructible.
"Miss, you have good taste. It seems that you like this green bamboo very much. Bamboo is tough and grows upwards, so it is the most popular. Want one?"
The stall owner was selling his product enthusiastically. Qi Ningzhu looked at the lamp and nodded.
"Yes, I like it. I like bamboo the most."
She replied to the boss with a smile, and Qi Ningzhu just stared at the smile on her lips.
Bai Yunshu really loves things related to bamboo, and he has planted a lot of bamboo on Musheng Peak.
Is it because of myself?
Hearing Bai Yunshu's question, Qi Ningzhu thought for a moment and answered with two words.
"nice."
Bai Yunshu nodded, but his eyes were always on her.
"I think it's beautiful too. I have always had good taste. Would you mind giving Ningzhu to me as your disciple?"
Bai Yunshu asked for it on his own initiative, and his meaning was also implied.
Qi Ningzhu was stunned for a moment and nodded.
It’s just a lantern, she can afford it.
"good."
Qi Ningzhu skillfully took out his purse and handed the copper coins to the boss to buy it.
In the past, she seemed to have never given Bai Yunshu many gifts. After all, Bai Yunshu was so powerful and had seen all kinds of good things, so she didn't think she needed them.
At the same time, I was also afraid that she would look down on what I gave her.
I want to seek the best, but the best is Bai Yunshu himself, like the snow on the mountains and the moon in the clouds, which makes people admire him.
On the other hand, Bai Yunshu would give her all kinds of magical tools, but the reason was that the disciple was the face of the master, so naturally he had to use the best ones and not lose the face of the master and the sect.
"Okay, thank you Ningzhu. You promised it yourself, so don't go back on your word."
Bai Yunshu was holding the lantern, smiling happily, and was reluctant to put it down.
Even if the gift was coming, she would be happy.
This is the third gift her disciple has given her.
The first was her arrival, coming to Mu Sheng Peak and pulling her out of the darkness.
The second gift was that she came back, and his wait was not in vain. His five hundred years of longing had finally been answered.
The third one is this lantern, which was bought for her by her little apprentice.
Qi Ningzhu looked at her happy expression and was actually infected and started laughing.
But she felt something was wrong. Did she fall into Bai Yunshu's literary trap?
"Master, when did you start liking bamboo?"
Qi Ningzhu still couldn't help but ask her.
I once asked Bai Yunshu if he had any favorite things. Bai Yunshu shook his head, looked at the spiritual plants all over the mountain and said, "I don't like anything, I don't have to, and I don't force anything."
Now she was very curious and wanted to find an exact time.
This is what she has in mind.
Bai Yunshu smiled and looked left and right while holding up the four-sided lantern.
"A long time ago."
She answered casually, but Qi Ningzhu refused to give in.
“How early is early?”
Bai Yunshu looked down at her, tenderness flowing in his eyes, and touched her head.
"I can't remember, but it's longer than five hundred years anyway..."
Three hundred years of companionship, the first hundred years were spent getting along and getting to know each other, watching her rashly enter life, and carefully teaching her how to behave and practice self-cultivation.
The second hundred years were spent opening their hearts and getting closer. He watched her playing around in the sect with a smile and urged her to improve her cultivation. In addition, feelings grew quietly without her knowing, and they could not be restrained. They grew wildly and filled his heart.
The third hundred years were spent together, a promise of companionship. He dared not transgress the rules, only watching and guarding her silently from behind. He only dared to place a gentle kiss on her forehead when she closed her eyes. He only dared to quietly make her wedding dress when he knew he was about to flee, wanting to be part of the most important moment in her life.
In fact, at the beginning, Bai Yunshu wanted to give the wedding dress away in the name of his master.
After her death, there will definitely be someone who will love her. She only hopes that she will wear the wedding dress she sewed for her at her wedding. This will be a way for her to witness her, participate in her wedding banquet, and accompany her in another way.
But things in the world never develop as we imagine.
During the days when she was away, she often looked at the wedding dress and felt sad. She gradually became obsessed with the idea that she was the only one who was most suitable for her and that she was the only one who could wear the wedding dress with her.
Yes, that's right, there are only two people in the world who are most compatible with each other! No one else is worthy of his little disciple!
She often feels bad and blames herself, wondering why she didn't express her feelings earlier...
It was simply because of worldly constraints and moral restrictions that she never dared to take that step, and she never understood her own feelings.
When Qi Ningzhu heard her answer, he couldn't help but doubt himself.
Very long ago? Longer than five hundred years? Why hadn't I noticed? Was it because she hid it so well?
Bai Yunshu's attitude towards her made her always feel that she was a cold and indifferent person.
Other masters would take the initiative to praise their disciples, show concern for them, and build closer relationships with them.
Only Bai Yunshu relied on her thick skin to gradually enhance their relationship. They only held hands once in three hundred years, otherwise he would grab her sleeves, and when grabbing her sleeves, he would always have to look at her expression.
Qi Ningzhu just felt a headache from thinking about it, and suddenly wanted to tease Bai Yunshu.
Does it matter when you fell in love?
The two of them had already walked onto the bridge and stood on the edge of the bridge looking at the flower boats drifting on the river below.
On the flower boats, beauties played the piano and melody, and women in gorgeous clothes danced gracefully with charming postures. Under the moon and in front of the flowers, scholars and scholars kept picking up their pens and writing poems.
"Master, don't you have anything to give me, considering the beautiful scenery of Liangcheng tonight?"
She suddenly asked for it, and when Bai Yunshu heard it, he suddenly smiled mysteriously.
"What does Ningzhu want? Whatever your master has, I can give it to you."
Even if it's something they ask for, she can give it to them.
Qi Ningzhu thought for three seconds and slowly shook his head.
It seems that there is nothing I want for the time being, and all Bai Yunshu has are artifacts.
She doesn't have enough skills to use many of the magic weapons, and she can ask her for them anytime and anywhere, not just on such special days.
Seeing her shaking her head, Bai Yunshu suddenly thought of something.
Suddenly, a brocade box appeared in her palm and she opened it.
Inside lay a red rope bracelet with decorations that Qi Ningzhu had never seen before.
"Here, this is my heart's blood. It can keep you safe in times of danger."
She took out the red rope chain with faintly reddish jasmine bamboo knots that contained the blood of her heart. They were all strung together, decorated with small gold beads in the middle, and woven with special techniques.
The size can be adjusted to the wearer, and it won’t break unless she takes it off.
Looking at the red rope, Qi Ningzhu hesitated and didn't dare to take it.
Heart blood? Can you give that stuff to anyone? It's forbidden to touch except for your Taoist partner... So you're just going to give it to her?
It seems that this bracelet was made by her with great care. The rosy color seems like it was planned long time ago, otherwise it would not be so transparent.
Qi Ningzhu was unsure, and seeing that she didn't say anything, Bai Yunshu took the initiative to bring up the topic.
"Do you like it? By the way, Ningzhu, you have to think carefully. Once you put it on, you can never take it off again. Do you understand?"
Bai Yunshu reminded her, pulled her wrist and pretended to put it on her.
Looking at her actions, Qi Ningzhu suddenly regretted asking her for a gift.
Indeed, once the apex blood band is attached, it cannot be removed unless the donor dies...
Moreover, if you give someone your heart blood as a gift and accept it, it means that you are in love with each other, and are bound together and inseparable.
Mutual affection? But until now, I still can't see clearly my feelings for Bai Yunshu.
Qi Ningzhu immediately became alert and quickly pulled his hand back.
Bai Yunshu's hand holding the red rope was hanging in the air at a loss.
"Master, let me... think about it."
Qi Ningzhu lowered his eyebrows and did not dare to withdraw.
Bai Yunshu looked at his empty hands and looked into her eyes with dissatisfaction, as if asking what she was avoiding.
Qi Ningzhu smiled awkwardly and shifted her gaze to the beauty on the flower boat in the distance.
Everyone's eyes were focused there, and no one paid attention to himself and Bai Yunshu.
If I remember correctly, I can't wear it without love. If I can't wear it, Bai Yunshu will be very embarrassed, but he might even be angry...
If I wear it, then my relationship with her would be too immoral. We are master and disciple, how can we have mutual feelings?
Seeing that she remained silent and refused to accept, Bai Yunshu sighed.
She tightly grasped the Heart Blood Bracelet and said helplessly, "Ningzhu, if you don't have feelings, you can't wear it. Even if you put it on, you can take it off easily. Why don't you give it a try? I can tell you so much, which also means I respect your choice."
The pain in her eyes seemed to be able to drown people. She spoke softly to deceive her, and Qi Ningzhu's heart skipped a beat.
This look made her feel like a bastard and hurt her invisibly.
Respect your own choice? If she can't wear it, she probably won't blame herself, but if she can't wear it, she will probably be sad. What if she is sad?
