Chapter 111: Power of choice

While thinking about Xuanyu's words, Lu Qingjiu stretched out his hand to him who was still lying in the snow. Xuanyu smiled slightly, and the hand holding Lu Qingjiu was pulled from the ground by Lu Qingjiu. After he got up, he gently patted the snowflakes on his body, and said warmly: "Donor Lu, it’s cold outside the house, let’s go inside. Speak slowly."
It was really cold outside. Lu Qingjiu agreed to Xuanyu's proposal and returned to the house. Yin Xun, who was furious before, looked like a punctured balloon at this time, and his whole body froze, looking down at Lu Qingjiu, trying to persuade Lu Qingjiu not to listen to Xuanyu. But obviously, he himself knew that this kind of persuasion was of no use, so when the words reached his mouth, he swallowed it back abruptly, only in sad silence. Lu Qingjiu could only pat his arm to show comfort.
Back in the warm room, Yin Xun was afraid that Lu Qingjiu was cold, so he hurried to the kitchen and poured hot tea. He was also stingy, so he did not pour hot water for Xuanyu, and took out ice cubes from the refrigerator and threw them at Xuanyu. In the cup, I can’t wait to freeze to death the monk who prevented them from leaving.
Xuan Yu didn't mind at all, picked up the water glass and drank it all, then smiled gently at Yin Xun and thanked him.
Xuan Yu said, "Donor Lu, whether you leave or stay, the power of choice is in your hands."
Lu Qingjiu said, "If I go, will Bai Yuehu and Yin Xun die?
"We won't die." Yin Xun said angrily. "We are all non-human. Even if we are injured, we will recover!"
Lu Qingjiu ignored Yin Xun and continued to look at Xuanyu.
Xuanyu nodded, and said: "The two realms merge, and the first thing that suffers is the junction. Then the Shuifu Village will no longer exist, let alone the Yinglong who protects the human world with his real body."
Yin Xun was about to refute, but was held back by Lu Qingjiu. He seemed to understand the meaning of boilun’s attack on him. Boren injected cold air into his body and forced him to leave Shuifu Village. As long as he left Shuifu Village, his body The chill will not cause trouble, and the end of sacrifice is avoided. It's just that besides that, it seems that Biao Yun really wants to merge the two worlds...
Xuanyu continued: "The four gods are dead, and there is no barrier from the four gods. It is only a matter of time before the two realms merge. Lu Shizhu is the only person capable of stopping."
Lu Qingjiu had heard this before, but when he listened again, he found extra information. He raised his head suspiciously and stared at Xuanyu, and said: "Little Master, do you know where the Winter God is? Do you know his current status? "
Xuan Yu hummed softly.
"But the Winter God has been missing for a long time, isn't the Winter God called... Xuan Ming?" Lu Qingjiu said, "Your name is Xuan Yu, what is the relationship between you?"
Xuan Yu sighed: "Donor Lu..."
Lu Qingjiu said: "Sell it, I can bear it." Whether it is boiled leap or Baiyuehu, they refused to give him a choice in front of certain things, because they thought that some things were known. It's no better than being kept in the dark, but in fact, Lu Qingjiu has always been a person with his own ideas. He knows what he wants, and he doesn't need or wants other people to make decisions for him.
"The Winter God has indeed disappeared for many years." Xuan Yu said, "The last time he met the other three gods was a hundred years ago."
Unlike other gods, Winter God is not loved by humans.
He brought death, hunger and cold. In a piece of white snow, people are expecting the cold winter to pass sooner and arrive at the spring full of life. It is human beliefs and expectations that produce other gods, but it is fear and awe that produce winter gods.
"But Winter God doesn't mind." Xuan Yu said, "he didn't complain."
Lu Qingjiu knew what must have happened to Dongshen, so he asked, "What happened then?"
Xuan Yu looked down, his voice was slightly low, and he said, "All this, until Winter God is contaminated."
Lu Qingjiu showed a stunned look: "Winter God is polluted? Is he polluted?"
Xuanyu nodded.
"Wait, why would God be contaminated..." Lu Qingjiu asked incredulously. "But even if it is contaminated, doesn't it mean that the problem is not serious?"
Xuan Yu said: "It should be not serious, because the gods of the four seasons can be reborn. As long as they are reborn once, the pollution will be eliminated. It is just that before the rebirth, Winter God had an accident."
Lu Qingjiu became nervous: "What the is going on."
Xuan Yu said, "Winter God is split."
Lu Qingjiu: "Huh?" He immediately thought of his grandfather who was split into red and black.
"He split his soul into two parts, one part inherited pollution, the other was pure and flawless, and the part inherited pollution was killed pure and flawless. After that, it took decades to reconstruct the body." Xuan Yudao "No one knows about this." He explained that originally the four gods are sensitive to each other. If Winter God dies, the other three gods can feel it, but the problem is that Winter God is split into two. Part, so some of them died, and the other three gods did not respond, thinking that Winter God was still alive. However, this is not the worst. The worst thing is that after the rebirth of the polluted part of Winter God, the pollution has not disappeared. Not only has it not disappeared, but also lost the previous memories, full of evil thoughts towards the human world, and even colluded with candles. The dragon clan wants to directly merge the human world and the non-human world.
At this point, Xuan Yu also had a sense of helplessness in his tone. He obviously didn't understand why something that should have been simple became so complicated because of a small accident.
Lu Qingjiu was silent after listening, and then looked at Xuanyu with weird eyes: "Couldn't you just be..."
Xuanyu and Lu Qingjiu face each other.
"You are part of the Winter God?" Lu Qingjiu originally thought that the two names Xuanyu and Xuanming were just coincidences. Now that I think about it carefully, there are so many coincidences in the world, and every time Xuanyu appears, there is a big snow general. So, the first time was in winter, and the second time was in the snow in June this year.
Xuan Yu said: "Yes." He admitted so easily.
"No? You are the Winter God?" Yin Xun, who was sitting next to him, couldn't sit still. He stood up and said, "How come you are the Winter God, I have seen the Winter God, he is amazing-why are you? What's the matter?"
Xuanyu showed helplessness, saying that when he split the soul, he basically had no power. If the contaminated part of Winter God had not volunteered to die, he would not be able to kill him, but now that part was reborn, but it was gone. The memory before, didn't plan to let him kill again, and even wanted to merge him.
Lu Qingjiu and Yin Xun were stunned for a while, never expected that this would be the case.
"Then why didn't you tell others earlier?" Lu Qingjiu asked, "If you said earlier, there should be a chance of rescue, right?"
Xuan Yu said, "My strength is too weak. I can only appear in the coldest time. I thought he was just making a temper. It was not until this year that I found out that he was serious." He sighed again.
Lu Qingjiu still wanted to talk, but he heard a violent wind blowing in the yard. The sound of the wind was very different from the usual wind. It was as stern as a howling, and even rolled up the snowflakes on the ground and threw them into the sky. Living in the sun, the whole world plunged into darkness.
"He's here." Xuan Yu stood up.
Lu Qingjiu knew that he was talking about the contaminated part of Winter God, and hurriedly said, "Don't go out, Baiyue Fox will be back soon."
Xuan Yu shook his head: "He won't be back so soon."
Lu Qingjiu said: "What do you know?"
Xuan Yu said, "Do you remember the snow in June?"
Of course Lu Qingjiu remembered, he even remembered the vision between heaven and earth at that time, and the candle dragons fighting with the white moon fox.
Xuanyu said: "That is the game they planted. Zhu Rong's death is just the beginning." He put his hands together and bowed to Lu Qingjiu, "Lu donor, offended."
Before Lu Qingjiu could react, Xuanyu stretched out his finger and nodded on Lu Qingjiu's forehead. Then, Lu Qingjiu felt his forehead cool, and all the chill in his body seemed to converge on top of his head. In Yin Xun's stunned gaze, several dancing ice butterflies appeared in front of Lu Qingjiu's eyes. These ice butterflies flew out of Lu Qingjiu's skin, and at the same time took away the cold feeling in his body.
"No matter whether you go or stay, Donor Lu, you don't have to worry anymore," Xuan Yu said warmly.
Before Lu Qingjiu was happy, he watched Xuanyu push the door out. He wanted to stop Xuanyu, but Xuanyu had already decided. He said that he had no power in his body, and he might be able to be merged. Play a deterrent role, so let Lu Qingjiu not worry...
Lu Qingjiu said: "But after the fusion, you are no longer there!"
Xuanyu smiled: "I have done everything that should be said and done. I am one with him."
He refused Lu Qingjiu's obstruction, opened the door, and walked out slowly from the yard.
Across the howling wind and snow, Lu Qingjiu vaguely saw a short figure standing outside the house. He recognized with difficulty, only to realize that the child had seen him before. He never expected that the child was the legendary winter god. , And Xuan Yu had already walked to the child's side, bent down, and held the child's cold hand.
"You are finally willing to come back." The child rubbed his cheek against the back of Xuanyu's hand with some nostalgia, with childish voice in his voice, "I have been waiting for you for a long time."
Xuanyu hummed softly and said, "I made you wait for a long time."
The child said: "Let's go."
Xuanyu bends down and hugs the child expertly. The child tightly hugs Xuanyu's neck, as if afraid that he will leave suddenly again. The two figures gradually disappeared into the snow curtain, the wind that was originally lingering. Also calmed down.
Lu Qingjiu stood by the window in a daze.
Yin Xun poked Lu Qingjiu and muttered, "Jiuer, are we still leaving?"
Lu Qingjiu said: "Don't go, let's wait for the white moon fox to come back."
Yin Xun wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't say anything.
After Xuanyu and the child left, the snow stopped, and the warm sun fell through the clouds in the snow. The air was cold, but it did not cause Lu Qingjiu any more pain. Xuanyu took away the chill in his body. , Let him return to a normal state.
Bai Yuehu didn't come back until dusk, when Lu Qingjiu was already lying on the kang and was about to fall asleep. He entered the room very lightly, but Lu Qingjiu opened his eyes immediately and saw him.
"Ao Yue." Lu Qingjiu called his real name.
Bai Yuehu's expression was slightly stunned, and it seemed that Lu Qingjiu knew his name. The black robe he was wearing at this time was covered with dark red blood, and because the temperature was too low, the blood was all solidified and exuded. With a faint smell of blood, he walked to Lu Qingjiu's side and lowered his head to stare at his lover. The long black hair scattered on Lu Qingjiu's cheeks caused a slight itch. He said, "How did you know? "
"I guessed it." Lu Qingjiu blinked and reached out to hold a strand of Baiyue Fox's hair, "You are back."
"Well, I'm back." Baiyuehu put a gentle kiss on Lu Qingjiu's lips, and then lifted Lu Qingjiu from the bed, "Let's go right away."
"No." Lu Qingjiu said, "I'm not leaving, I'm not cold anymore, I want to stay here with you."
The movement of Bai Yuehu's hand stopped, and his original soft expression faded. He looked at Lu Sake and refused, "No."
"Xuanyu is the Winter God." Lu Qingjiu said, "he helped me get rid of the cold from my body, I don't have to go."
"You have to go." Baiyue Fox reached out and touched Lu Qingjiu's face, feeling that Lu Qingjiu's cheeks were not as cold as before, but after having the softness and warmth that human skin should have, he sighed slightly. But even so, he didn't mean to let go, "It will become very dangerous here."
Lu Qingjiu: "I know, so I want to stay with you here." Xuanyu once said that he is the only one who can save all of this, and someone has already told him the answer, although he is still confused now, but He thought he would understand after all.
Bai Yuehu strongly rejected Lu Qingjiu, saying that he must leave here. Of course, what he said sounded extraordinarily ruthless, except that Lu Qingjiu's body was too weak. In case he fights with Zhulong, himself Also score energy to protect Lu Sake. Lu Qingjiu didn't get annoyed when he heard the words, but just pressed Baiyuehu's shoulders, abruptly twisted his head, motioned him to look in his eyes, and say what he had just said again.
Bai Yuehu said angrily: "Lu Qingjiu"
Lu Qingjiu said: "You say it again and I will leave."
Bai Yuehu took a deep breath and seemed to have done some psychological construction, intending to repeat the words just now, but noticed Lu Qingjiu's aggrieved eyes, so the words reached his lips, and he swallowed abruptly.
"Look, you can't tell it anymore." Lu Qingjiu laughed and put his arm around the white moon fox's neck. He said, "I don't care, anyway, I won't go. You dragons are not the most angry. If you die and I live, and the days from now on will still be there, you are not afraid that I will find another girl to marry and have children? Still give birth to seven or eight in one breath?"
Bai Yuehu grasped Lu Qingjiu's wrist and gritted his teeth: "Dare you?!"
Lu Qingjiu said: "If there is anything you dare not, you are gone, I dare everything."
It’s not bad. When Bai Yuehu thinks about it, he gets more and more angry. When he thinks of the scene where he is gone and Lu Qingjiu is with others, he almost wants to swallow the person in front of him directly into his stomach and let him go anywhere. No more. Lu Qingjiu looked at Baiyue Fox’s faintly red pupils, and knew that his little Qilong could not be irritated, so he quickly offered a soothing kiss. He was vague after being kissed by Baiyue Fox. Said: "Look, I just said that you are so angry, Yuehu, I know what you are worried about, but I am not afraid... I want to be with you wherever you go." Even hell.
Bai Yuehu held Lu Qingjiu tightly, wishing to embed him in his body, he said, "You will die."
Lu Qingjiu buried his head in the long hair of Baiyue Fox, sniffing the wind and snow in his hair, he said: "If I am gone, you can't look for someone else behind me."
Baiyue Fox really couldn't bear it anymore, and he bit Lu Qingjiu's ear with one bite. This bite didn't save any strength, and the bite Lu Qingjiu hissed. When the white moon fox stopped, Lu Qingjiu's ears were already bleeding, and the white moon fox saw the blood bead, feeling a little distressed, and licked it carefully.
Lu Qingjiu was dumbfounded by Bai Yuehu's childish performance. He patted Bai Yuehu on the shoulder and said, "Okay, stop making trouble, let's live a good life. As for the future, let's talk about it."
Bai Yuehu's expression was a little bored, as if still tangled.
Lu Qingjiu said something more, to the effect that Bai Yuehu imagined that he was still alive without him. In this way, it would be better to accompany Bai Yuehu to go with him.
Baiyue Fox's mood gradually calmed down.
Lu Qingjiu's body was no longer cold, and he felt that he had regained his youthful vitality. He rushed to the guest room to pull up Yin Xun, who was also taking a nap, and said that we would have a big meal at night.
Yin Xun was stunned by Lu Qingjiu and said, "What big meal?"
Lu Qingjiu said, "It depends on what you want to eat."
Yin Xun was dumbfounded for a few seconds before he recovered from the stunned state, and said, "No, how can I say it's eating, Bai Yuehu? Did he come back?"
Lu Qingjiu pointed to his ear that had been bitten so big, and said, "I'm back. Not only did I come back, but he also bit me, and almost didn't bite my ear off."
Yin Xun: "..."
Lu Qingjiu said, "I'm still a little bit shy."
Yin Xun's expression was distorted, and he didn't know whether he should hate them for giving him dog food at this time, or he should be happy that the white moon fox has nothing to do. He said, "I didn't say anything when I came back.
Lu Qingjiu said, "What are you talking about?"
"Of course I asked you to leave here." Yin Xun said anxiously, "Didn't Xuanyu say that something will happen soon? You will have problems staying here. Shouldn't he send you away right away? Why are you still there? Delay here..."
Lu Qingjiu patted him on the shoulder, motioning him to calm down. Then he slowly explained the consensus he reached with Bai Yuehu. In short, he had decided to stay here, and Bai Yuehu chose to support his idea.
Yin Xun was stunned. He thought that the first thing Bai Yuehu did when he came back here was to take Lu Qingjiu away. Xuanyu could fool Lu Qingjiu, can he fool Baiyue Fox? But looking at Lu Qingjiu's words and expressions, it was obviously not lying. Could he really convince Bai Yuehu to let him stay here...
"Is the Baiyue Fox crazy? How could I allow you to stay?" Yin Xun said in disbelief. "Does he not know that you will die? He was also brainwashed by Xuan Yu?!"
"Yin Xun." Lu Qingjiu stopped him. He knew what Yin Xun was thinking. As Yin Xun's only friend, Yin Xun would naturally want him to live. It was only in human life, but it was more than living. The most important thing, Xuanyu did not force him to stay, he just told Lu Qingjiu all the options and let him make his own choice, "Everyone will die."
Yin Xun still refused to accept it.
Lu Qingjiu said: "You calm down, everyone will die-I will ask you a question. If between the two of us, only one can survive, and I give you that opportunity, you will feel happy?"
After Yin Xun thought for a while, he said no in despair.
"I won't be happy either." Lu Qingjiu said, "I'm gone and survived, but I spent the rest of my life thinking of you and Bai Yuehu. Don't worry about this rest of my life."
Yin Xun calmed down. He stopped trying to convince Lu Qingjiu, but he was still very depressed.
Lu Qingjiu couldn't persuade after seeing this, and turned around and went to the kitchen alone.
Today is an important day, Lu Qingjiu decided to make a sumptuous dinner.
He took out a lot of ingredients from the refrigerator, and then began to carefully process them with his head down. After the shrimp is thawed, clean the shrimp line and put it in a frying pan to fry. The auxiliary ingredients are potatoes, onions, and carrots. Cut into strips. After blanching, stir-fry them with special seasonings. Finally, add the shrimps for a while, and they will be delicious dry pan shrimps. . The room quickly filled with the rich aroma of food. I don't know when Yin Xun and Bai Yuehu both appeared in the kitchen and began to help Lu Qingjiu.
"This shrimp is fresh and more delicious, but it's been frozen for a long time now." Lu Qingjiu said, "When the spring starts next year, you must buy more fresh seafood to eat."
"I want to eat squid flowers." Yin Xun said dullly beside him.
"I said now, it's too late. I'll make it for you tomorrow." Lu Qingjiu picked up the shrimp and looked at the chicken soup that was still simmering in the pot. "Does the fox want something to eat?"
Bai Yuehu shook his head, indicating that nothing matters.
Lu Qingjiu took the pork from the refrigerator again and planned to fry the twice-cooked pork.
Yin Xun stood next to him, suddenly sobbing, crying very sad, Lu Qingjiu showed helplessness, put down the things in his hands and turned his head to ask him what he was crying.
Yin Xun choked and said: "I just remembered that in the days when you didn't come, I didn't have any meat to eat. I finally bought the meat, but I could only boil it in plain water, Lu Qingjiu, I'm so scared."
Lu Qingjiu said, "Don't be afraid, I am here."
Although Bai Yuehu didn't speak, he gently held Lu Qingjiu's hand next to him. The interlocked, and the anxiety between Bai Yuehu's expression was slightly reduced.
"You and Yuehu won't be wronged." Lu Qingjiu said, "You see how sad the life in this village is, there is no trash can, and Fox can still flip through the trash can somehow."
Bai Yuehu: "...I don't have one!"
Lu Qingjiu: "Not really?"
White Moon Fox: "Occasionally."
Lu Qingjiu: "Occasionally?"
Bai Yuehu gave up talking, let go without saying a word, and turned to do something, without paying attention to Lu Qingjiu who made fun of him. Lu Qingjiu was softened by the amusement of the white moon fox, and he leaned in to kiss his petty fake vixen carefully, and finally coaxed him back.
Yin Xun's mouth also reluctantly showed a smile.
