Chapter 72
The magnificent and spacious palace, with carved sandalwood beams and woven shark silk curtains, is illuminated by the hanging pearls and jades, making it sparkle brightly. However, it does not appear cold or lonely at all, but instead exudes a lively and lovely atmosphere everywhere.
Several Taoist scriptures lay haphazardly spread out on the mahogany table. Within them, sharp, elegant handwriting juxtaposed with large, round, childish characters, creating a seemingly awkward yet remarkably harmonious scene.
Beside the Taoist scriptures, several black lumps of mud lay crookedly. These lumps had been molded into bizarre shapes, and placed alongside the pure and elegant scriptures, it looked like demons and goblins solemnly meditating on a cushion in a Taoist temple. The sight of them made one frown.
Looking further back, there is a wide and soft cloud bed.
A woman with black hair and fair skin sat cross-legged on the cloud bed with an indifferent expression.
The boy's eyes were lightly closed, his long, curled lashes casting a dark, dark shadow beneath his eyes. The gilded spiritual pattern between his brows shone brightly, a touch of cinnabar dotting it, accentuating his clear and distinct features even more stunningly.
The jade-white face still has some baby fat, and the soft curves soften the indifferent expression. The coldness and alienation are perfectly combined with the sweetness and tenderness unique to children. It makes people imagine that there is a furry little beast pretending to be very ferocious, and they can't help but reveal a tacitly indulgent smile.
The pearl hanging high in the sky emitted a light and soft glow, which fell on the boy and cast a halo around him.
The quietly practicing children, the exquisite and magnificent palace, the messy yet lovely ornaments on the mahogany table... everything makes people feel that the years are peaceful and time is gentle.
But the next moment, the boy suddenly nodded his head, staggered, and woke up in shock.
In an instant, the indifference and alienation conveyed by the cold and delicate face immediately faded away, leaving only a confused little kitten looking around guiltily.
“Huh——” There was no one in the hall, and Suisui breathed a sigh of relief.
The child leaned back into the soft quilt, his spiritual power circulated, and his stiff neck and numb legs immediately felt comfortable.
“Luckily, brother isn’t here…” Sui Sui murmured, his clear eyes filled with relief. “If he’d been caught, Sui Sui would have been finished!”
"What bad things has Suisui done again?" Before the child's childish words fell, a clear voice sounded in the hall.
The child on the soft cloud bed shuddered and immediately retorted loudly: "Brother, you're talking nonsense. Sui Sui is so well behaved every day!"
Jiang Mingyan snorted and laughed, without commenting.
He lowered his eyes to look at the boy who was buried in the fluffy quilt, his little face full of bluffing. His phoenix eyes, which were filled with a cold chill from having just finished sword practice, slowly softened.
As she grew older, Suisui's appearance became more and more similar to A Niang's.
However, when the little guy closed his eyes, he still exuded a somewhat cold and lonely aura with his cold appearance.
But once he opened his eyes, those bright, dark, and bright eyes immediately dispelled the coldness between his brows. Just one glance made people know that this was a child who grew up in love and indulgence, soft, innocent, bright and romantic.
——Of course, there is nothing wrong with this.
Thinking about this, Jiang Mingyan walked over and lifted Sui Sui up from the soft cloud bed: "Can you recite the Taoist scriptures?"
Sui Sui blinked her beautiful big eyes, which already had a hint of brilliance, and said innocently, "Sui Sui has been practicing all day and hasn't read the Taoist scriptures yet."
"Practice?" Jiang Mingyan curled his lips: "Don't you sleep while sitting?"
Sui Sui turned away guiltily and muttered softly, "I just slept for a while..."
Jiang Mingyan knew that the little guy would not be obedient if he was not here to watch, so he ignored Sui Sui's excuses and directly carried Sui Sui to the chair like a cat.
Out of sight, out of mind. Jiang Mingyan avoided the odd-shaped lumps of mud, accurately picked out the Taoist scripture that Sui Sui was supposed to recite today, and turned to the correct page: "Recite it."
"Oh." Sui Sui whined like a puppy.
Jiang Mingyan shook his head helplessly, and when he lowered his eyes, the messy desk inevitably came into view.
He sighed resignedly and began to clean the table. He even neatly arranged the mud lumps from Sui Sui one by one on the corner of the table.
After cleaning up, I saw that the little guy was not reading. His wet black eyes were fixed on the mud ball. Like a cub guarding its food, he was staring at the food bowl.
Jiang Mingyan was helpless: "Can I just throw them away?"
If it was going to be lost, it would have been lost long ago.
Sui Sui poked the edge of the table with her finger: "I know brother won't lose it..."
It's because I don't want to read.
When I don’t feel like reading, I find everything interesting except books.
Besides, what’s so good about memorizing this sutra, Suisui muttered to himself.
"You can only play with Dahei after you finish memorizing the lesson." Jiang Mingyan warned calmly, "I'm going to cook now. If you still can't memorize this paragraph by the time I finish cooking, you won't have any spiritual fruit for tomorrow."
"Oh!" Sui Sui pouted.
"Brother!" The little guy immediately shouted when he saw his brother turning around and about to leave.
"What's wrong?" Jiang Mingyan stopped and looked over calmly.
"Brother, when are we going out?" the little guy asked eagerly.
Sui Sui knew that the spirit of the weapon had good intentions but ended up doing something bad, giving him and his brother too much spiritual energy at once.
Suisui was a pure spirit body and was not affected at all. However, although his brother had broken through to the Golden Core stage, his cultivation was weak and it took him two full years of hard work to stabilize his cultivation.
In the following three years, apart from forcing Sui Sui to learn to read and practice every day, my brother spent almost all his time practicing.
The Mirror Flowers and Water Moon have been submerged in the sea for tens of thousands of years. The resources inside are countless. With the dual accumulation of diligence and resources, my brother has reached the highest level a few days ago and is only a step away from the Nascent Soul stage.
Brother is going to survive the thunder tribulation!
Suisui and his brother are about to go out!
Although I feel a little sorry for the spirit of the weapon due to being so excited, I have been stuck in the mirror flower water moon for five years and I really want to get out~
"Tomorrow." Jiang Mingyan did not hide it and rubbed the little guy's head.
"Oh, my hair is messy!" Sui Sui let his brother rub his hair, and then immediately withdrew his little head.
This is the bun that Suisui tied herself! It was her first successful bun!
Stay a little longer.
Jiang Mingyan laughed, and under the little guy's vigilant gaze, he rubbed him again before leaving the palace: "Hurry up and recite the text. I'll check it later."
"Bad brother." Sui Sui muttered, "Using your cultivation to bully Sui Sui."
But soon, the little guy became happy again: "Finally, we are going out!"
"Sui Sui really doesn't care about Yue Yue at all." The resentful voice of the weapon spirit sounded faintly.
“No, no…” Sui Sui quickly shook her head: “How could that be…”
"Then can Suisui stay and accompany Yueyue..." The spirit of the weapon said sincerely: "Then the whole mirror flower water moon will belong to Suisui!"
"..." Sui Sui blinked guiltily: "No."
"Why?" The spirit of the weapon complained: "Yueyue will treat Sui Sui very well! She will give Sui Sui everything!"
"But Suisui wants to see flowers, big trees, and the sky..." Suisui puffed out his cheeks and said in a soft voice, "Yueyue really won't leave with Suisui?"
"That way, Yueyue won't be lonely, and I won't have to separate from her."
The spirit's tone became lively: "Yueyue will not leave here~"
"Yueyue must guard the Spirit Sea and the Spirit Clan."
Even if it means waiting for another ten thousand years for the new elves to appear.
Sui Sui did not try to persuade him again.
Ever since his brother entered the Golden Elixir Great Perfection, Suisui and the Spirit of the Weapon have had such conversations dozens of times.
Suisui will not be separated from his brother, and the spirit of the weapon will not leave the spiritual sea.
Therefore, every conversation had to end hastily.
Fortunately, Suisui and Qi Ling did not take the lack of consensus to heart.
"Sui Sui, hurry up and recite the lesson." The weapon spirit who had initiated the conversation turned and urged: "If the little spirits come back and you haven't finished reciting, you won't have any spirit fruit to eat tomorrow."
Sui Sui, whose pain point was touched, snorted: "Just watch it now~"
His big black eyes rolled around, and he said stealthily, "Yueyue, can you help me check if my brother's meal is almost ready?"
The entire Mirror Flower and Water Moon is the territory of the weapon spirit, and Sui Sui's request is just a trivial matter to the weapon spirit.
Therefore, the weapon spirit readily agreed: "Okay, let me take a look."
The spirit of the weapon fell silent. Sui Sui looked at the Taoist scriptures on the table, sighed heavily, and muttered to himself: "I'll look at it later. When Yueyue comes back, I'll start memorizing it."
Having given himself a reason, the little guy immediately relaxed.
"Just play for a while longer..." He muttered as he took out the Ruyi Yinhuajian from the Jiuchun bracelet.
No one knew what material the Ruyi Yinhua Mirror was made of. Sui Sui arrived at the bottom of the Linghai Sea and was shrouded in a barrier, but he could still communicate with Shao Jishuang through it.
Suisui really likes talking to Shao Jishuang!
Especially after being trapped at the bottom of the sea, Suisui looked forward to the Ruyi Yinhua Mirror shining brightly.
When Shao Jishuang has nothing to do, he will send Suisui the scenery of Xuanjian Pavilion, and Suisui often pulls his brother to appreciate it together!
"Sui Sui and brother will be able to go out tomorrow~" The little guy told Shao Jishuang the new news, his tone excited: "When Sui Sui and brother go out, I will go to Xuanjian Pavilion to play with you~"
"Sui Sui, hurry up and recite! I think the little spirits are almost ready to prepare the meal!" Sui Sui was still waiting for Shao Jishuang's reply when the spirit of the weapon hurried over.
The little fellow was startled, and with a "pa ji" he put the Ruyi Yinhua Mirror on the table. He immediately picked up the Taoist scriptures and began to recite them: "All things are created without complaint, born without possession, and act without reliance..."
I have to say that Jiang Mingyan understands Sui Sui.
After he finished cooking, he waited for a while before entering the hall again.
Sui Sui just wrote down the last sentence.
"Brother, Sui Sui has finished reciting!" Sui Sui looked at his brother's tall figure, his black eyes lit up: "Sui Sui will recite it now!"
After listening to the little guy mumbling and reciting, Jiang Mingyan took out the spirit beast bag and handed it to him without Sui Sui urging him.
Sui Sui immediately took it and released the big black dog: "Da Hei!"
"Woof woof!" The big black dog pounced on Sui Sui, wagging its tail so much that it left an afterimage.
"It's time to eat." Jiang Mingyan said lightly after seeing the child getting close to the big dog.
"Eat!" Suisui held onto one of her brother's slender fingers and skipped forward. "Brother, what are we eating today? Are we still going to drink spirit beast milk?"
"Today there's a Cloud Bird. A small bowl of spirit beast milk every day can make Sui Sui's meridians more flexible and strengthen his physique..."
The weapon spirit looked at the tall and straight gray-robed swordsman and the cheerful back of the child beside him and smiled silently.
The next day, Suisui woke up early.
The little fellow was very active and didn't even stay in bed. He took out a small gray robe from the Jiuchun bracelet and put it on. Then, with the big black dog, he jumped and knocked on the door of the side hall where his brother lived: "Brother! Brother!"
"What's wrong?" Jiang Mingyan sat on the couch, and as expected, he opened his dark phoenix eyes, and a smile flashed across his lips.
With a thought, the palace door slowly opened.
"Brother, when are we leaving?" Suisui ran in like a child looking forward to a spring outing, his little face full of restlessness and urgency.
"Let's eat first." Jiang Mingyan stood up and walked to the table with the little guy.
Only then did Sui Sui notice that there was food on the table.
Sui Sui finished his meal with a slurp and continued to stare at his brother eagerly.
"Let's go now." Jiang Mingyan was helpless and tapped the little guy's upturned nose.
Sui Sui started to laugh.
Put the big black dog into the spirit beast bag, and then put the spirit beast bag into the Jiuchun bracelet.
Sui Sui was carried by his brother and flew to the edge of the barrier in the sky.
The spirit of the weapon slowly opened the barrier.
Suisui looked at the surging sea outside, and the reluctance suppressed by the excitement in his heart emerged.
He looked down at the tall and continuous palace complex: "Yueyue, you really won't come with us?"
"Sui Sui, little spirit tribe, see you again if fate permits." The spirit of the weapon chuckled, and the old voice lost its liveliness, leaving only a steady tone: "I will stay here."
"This will always be the home of the Eldar, and you are always welcome back."
"Yueyue, take care." Jiang Mingyan said in a deep voice.
"Yueyue, Suisui will miss you! Suisui and brother will come back to see you!"
The figures of the gray-robed swordsman and the child gradually disappeared in the deep sea.
The spirit of the artifact sighed softly, and the light of the entire mirror flower and water moon slowly dimmed.
It likes the lively and cute Sui Sui, and also likes the cold and sharp little elves.
But what it can never give up is the "spirits".
"Master, I will protect the spirit race..."
I promised that I would always protect the spirit race for you, until your spirits disperse and your consciousness disappears...
The last specks of light in the mirror and water condensed into a figure.
She is dressed in white and has black hair, and her appearance is like snow.
Then, it completely dimmed.
At the bottom of the sea, there is only silence.
