Chapter 488 Deep Sleep, Crying in Grievance
Once you leave the E'long Mountain area, the area you are in is full of evil mountains, evil waters, and evil people. Every step you take is dangerous and every place is treacherous. This is no exaggeration.
The mountains are continuous, covering an area of 100 miles, with no trace of human towns, and there are many bandits of all kinds. It was formed naturally, but also deliberately pushed by someone.
Wang Ruyi was so relaxed that he fainted in an instant. Li Changxiao pointed his index finger at his forehead to check the situation and found that it was not a bad thing. The humiliation and suffering along the way were all deep in his heart.
This dizziness was actually an act of self-repair, so there was no need to interrupt. Li Changxiao sighed inwardly, it was a pity that such a dignified empress had fallen into such a state.
Li Changxiao is not omniscient, nor omnipotent. When he first saw her, he actually had no idea about her situation, but he could tell roughly that she was a woman. After drinking with her and observing her in various ways, he finally guessed her true identity after seeing many details, both large and small.
The Eight Immortals tried to break the emperor's mind, and there was an undercurrent. They almost succeeded. If Li Changxiao had not talked to her at night and pulled Wang Ruyi up, her state of mind would have been shattered. She was a human body but not a human heart.
As for the matter of overturning the river and drowning the emperor, Li Changxiao really did not take action. Because the matter was related to the state of mind, no matter how powerful Li Changxiao was, he could not intervene. Everything depended on himself.
Fortunately, Wang Ruyi did not disappoint Li Changxiao. Even though she was afraid, she never boarded the boat. At these two critical points, Wang Ruyi was in danger, but she got through them safely.
This journey was not without damage to her. Although her heart was not broken, it was covered with cracks. Although her true self was not dispersed, it was covered with dust.
How much can be recovered depends on future circumstances.
If you stand in Li Changxiao's perspective.
He spent more than half a month just to wait for Zhang Long and Zhao Hu to get out of Elong Mountain and rescue Wang Ruyi. Wasn't this a gamble?
Wang Ruyi, who should have been sitting high in the palace, ended up being stripped of his title and exiled. Conversely, Xiaozhen was sitting high on the throne, and the third wish was fulfilled.
The worst case scenario is that the Mermaid Tomb has fallen into the hands of Ji Beiming. And the possibility is not low. Normally, Li Changxiao should rush to Dayu City to further plan the tomb.
However, Li Changxiao did the opposite.
If you ask why... there are many.
The Eight Immortals took great pains to conquer the emperor, and there may be other hidden meanings behind this, so Wang Ruyi is extremely important and cannot be ignored.
But there is only one fundamental reason.
Just follow your heart.
He wanted to save her, so he did. Even if there were thousands of reasons and thousands of purposes, they could not outweigh this.
Li Changxiao carried Wang Ruyi on his back as they walked along the mountain path. It was a bright moonlit night and although it was summer, the night was cool, especially in the woods. The night breeze brought with it the fragrance of grass and soil, adding a sense of leisure.
Walk slowly in the woods, feel relaxed and enjoy yourself.
Wang Ruyi was sleeping soundly, snoring slightly, with her head leaning to the side. Her face was covered with mud, so her expression could not be seen clearly, but one could feel that she was very peaceful and comfortable.
It was the most comforting sleep he had ever had since he lost his reputation. Even Li Changxiao envied him. Even he often could not get that deep sleep, but under such circumstances, he was able to be penetrated by this woman naturally and smoothly.
But it is also said that good people will be rewarded? Although Li Changxiao does not claim to be a good person, after careful consideration, saving Wang Ruyi is indeed a good thing.
She fell into a deep sleep, while Li Changxiao practiced the way of dreams and inherited part of the legacy of the God of Dreams. His research on dreams has been going on for a long time.
Deep sleep is like enlightenment, or even rarer than enlightenment. If this research is used, it will be of great benefit to Li Changxiao. It is all unexpected. Li Changxiao did not ask for any reward for saving people from thousands of miles away, but the reward came naturally.
Li Changxiao found a riverside, built a fire, and made a bed with leaves and soft grass. He gently put Wang Ruyi down, but he did not expect that the dream was quite ups and downs, as if he was about to escape from deep sleep.
Li Changxiao frowned and put his hand on his chest. His dream gradually became calmer and he began to snore again. He shook his head and smiled bitterly, thinking he understood.
Wang Ruyi's deep sleep was actually caused by himself. Well, Li Changxiao lay down on his side and fell asleep beside him, using the rhythm of his deep sleep to study dreams.
In the blink of an eye, it was already daybreak.
Li Changxiao sat up and stretched himself, feeling relaxed and comfortable. The fire had burned out, leaving only some gray charcoal. Wang Ruyi was still sleeping beside him. He looked up at the sky. It was a good day, with clear skies and gentle breezes. The birds had gotten up earlier than him and were calling from the branches.
A ray of sunlight climbed up the mountain wall, and a faint feeling of heat filled my heart. Perhaps it was unique to summer. When I woke up in the morning, I felt a little hot and my mouth was dry.
After a while, the sound of cicadas began to sound. Winter has its own charm, and summer has its own beauty. Li Changxiao rubbed his eyes lazily and glanced at Wang Ruyi, who was still sweet. Thanks to her, he had made great progress in his sleep last night.
He walked towards the mountains.
About three or two incense sticks later after he left, Wang Ruyi suddenly opened her eyes, her brows relaxed, but then immediately tightened. She wanted to get up, but because of her inconvenience in moving, she struggled several times and could only "stand still."
In desperation, she turned half a circle to the side, changed from lying to lying, then put her head on the ground, raised her waist, bent her knees and knelt on the ground, and stood up.
She looked around, fear still in her eyes, afraid that it was all a dream. However, when she saw the soft grass on the ground as a bed, where she had slept last night, and she did not see Zhang Long or Zhao Hu, she finally breathed a sigh of relief.
She looked around again, her eyes gradually becoming moist. She knelt on the ground and cried to herself, her tears dropping one after another, each drop like jade beads.
He left again and didn't care about himself anymore.
Wang Ruyi had never felt so wronged before. In the past, she cried because of pain, suffering, and collapse. But now, she cried because of grievance.
The sobbing was intermittent and the tears were hard to wipe away.
Until she heard light footsteps in the distance, Wang Ruyi looked over and saw the figure in white, and then she barely stopped crying.
She looked up and saw that the man was as handsome as last night. He was the one who saved her. She felt relieved and her heart was filled with great joy.
"I'm going to find some fruit for you." Li Changxiao was holding a lotus leaf, on which were scattered various sweet fruits.
He would not leave Wang Ruyi alone. She was in difficult condition and could hardly take care of herself. If he just walked away, it would be no different from killing her directly.
He was thinking of Wang Ruyi, who had not eaten for a long time, and whose lips had already cracked, bled, and scabbed. Li Changxiao was not Zhang Long or Zhao Hu, who would help others to the end and send Buddha to the west, so he would take good care of them.
Unexpectedly, just after leaving for a while, the empress burst into tears like this.
Just when I was in a fragile mood, I was careless... Li Changxiao muttered to himself.
