Chapter 98
In the bitterly cold river, a soft and beautiful face appeared in his mind.Liu'er, Liu'er, I'm sorry for leaving you alone so soon.

However, at this moment, a melodious bell sounded suddenly between the heaven and the earth. The bell was crisp and pleasant, as if it was everywhere, and even across the river, it could still reach the depths of the soul.

When Wang Zijin heard the ringtone, he shuddered suddenly and woke up unexpectedly.

I saw myself still sitting in the study room at home, with only lingering incense left in the censer, and the setting sun outside the window was shining late. It turned out that he fell asleep on the desk, and the terrible experience just now was just a dream.

He laughed secretly at himself for being timid, and wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, but he couldn't wipe it off no matter what, he just felt that it was a little too wet.

Then I saw that my whole body was soaked, as if I had just been fished out of the water, and then I saw that there were still a few pieces of water plants hanging on the cuffs.

He was startled immediately, could it be that what he saw just now was not a dream, but really happened?He took a closer look, and saw a thick black water line, like a python, winding from the door to his desk.

What should come will always come, Wang Zijin felt miserable when he saw this situation, this time without Fei Xiao by his side, he might not be able to avoid it.He hastily asked the servants to clean the room, not daring to reveal anything to Liu'er, mother and son, for fear of adding to their worries.

Wang Zijin could only sigh long and long at the snow scene and sunset outside the window, he had never been so helpless before.

In the early morning of the next day, before he woke up from his sleep, he heard the golden bell in his arms suddenly ringing loudly, the sound was rapid and loud, one after another, one after another, endlessly.

Wang Zijin hurriedly got up from the bed in fright, as soon as the bell rang, there was probably nothing good.

Unexpectedly, he was still in shock, the door of the bedroom was knocked loudly by the servant, Wang Zijin was startled by the knock again, and said angrily: "What's wrong?"

I only heard the servant say outside the door: "Master, there is a visitor who says it is your old friend, and is waiting at the gate..."

He hurriedly dressed and put on a padded robe, and asked in confusion as he walked, "Old friends? Old friends? Where do I have old friends?"

He ran all the way to the courtyard, only to see scattered snowflakes floating in the sky again.

Wang Zijin propped up a bamboo umbrella, walked across the courtyard, and came to the door.I saw a tall man standing beside the black-painted gate. The man was wearing a white cotton cloak, and the hood covered most of his face, only showing a delicate and white chin.

When the prince saw the white clothes that were not stained with dust and almost blended with the snow, he couldn't help but feel sad. There is only one person in the world who can wear white so beautifully.

Scarlet will he come back?Or was it the same snowy winter day as the day Fei Xiao left, giving him a beautiful hallucination?

The man turned around and said with a soft smile, "Zi Jin, how have you been in recent years?"

His eyes are still as clear as cold steel, his brows are as warm as white jade, and his face is full of peach blossoms and spring breeze, with a bit of a teasing smile. Who is it but Feixiao?
"Feixiao..." Wang Zijin's arms trembled slightly, and the oil-paper umbrella fell to the ground, rolling several times in the falling snow.

Seeing her, Fei Xiao bent down to pick up the umbrella, and put it on Prince Jin's head, "Zi Jin, I haven't seen you for many years, why are you still so careless?"

Wang Zijin saw that his red lips were slightly raised, he seemed to be smiling, his facial features were as delicate as jade carvings, he looked no more than seventeen or eighteen years old.I couldn't help feeling sad, he was still the boy when we first met, but he was already old.

Thinking of this episode, tears burst out immediately, "Fei Xiao, I think you've been thinking so hard... You've been here for so many years, I'm already old, but you are the same as before, nothing has changed."

Fei Xiao smiled and said, "Why are you still so confused, wouldn't it be bad if you were really like me?"

There is anger in the language, just like in the past.

The prince listened, and finally couldn't bear the sadness any longer, and burst into tears.After so many years, so many years have passed, Fei Xiao finally came back...

That night, the new moon was like a hook, and the two of them cooked wine with green plums and talked happily. Although it was midwinter outside, the room was very warm.

"Fei Xiao, do you know that these years, I think you have been thinking hard." Wang Zijin even ordered the cook to make all kinds of chickens for him today.

Fei Xiao held the wine glass, but did not speak, and after a while said: "Parting from life to death is a common thing in life, Zi Jin, don't be so hard on yourself, one day, I will leave you again."

"What? Do you still want to go?" Wang Zijin's smile froze immediately as if cold water had been poured on his head.

"If I continue to play with you, I will have to be your adoptive son in ten years." Fei Xiao pointed at his beard with a smile.

It was only then that Wang Zijin remembered that he was already an adult this year, and he was no longer young.The appearance of Fei Hong made him forget that he was already a middle-aged man, as if he had become a frivolous boy again.

His eyes couldn't help getting wet, and he laughed secretly that he only wanted to play with Fei Xiao, but he forgot that he didn't even have the capital to play.In a few years, he will be even older, so how can he travel around the mountains and rivers with Fei Xiao?
Wang Zijin felt sad, so he couldn't help drinking a few more glasses, but it was even more worrying when he was drinking, and he fell unconscious on the table after a while.

In the twilight, he felt a strong arm supporting him to the bed, and the pretty face crimson in the moonlight was full of sadness, looking at him sadly.

"Zi Jin, I only hope that I can help you escape the catastrophe this time."

"Calamity? What catastrophe? As long as you don't leave me alone in this world, everything will not be a disaster!" He grabbed the hand excitedly, and saw a face as bright as a bright moon and a color like a spring flower in front of him. He opened his mouth and called out. , "Fei Xiao, don't leave anymore..."

The man looked astonished, and the light in his eyes slowly disappeared, "Zi Jin, have you lost your mind since he came back?"

The voice is soft and charming, but it is Liu'er.

"No, of course not, I just recognized the wrong person..." Wang Zijin waved his hands before going to sleep with his head covered.

Unexpectedly, Liu'er held his hand very worriedly, "Zi Jin, don't be so kind, he will come back this time, there must be no good things, you have to be careful."

Wang Zijin didn't dare to answer her words, so he had to pretend to be drunk by drinking, and in a daze, he saw Liu'er crying for a while, got up and left very sadly, and gently closed the door.

The bright moonlight shone in front of the bed, he knew that Liu'er was a lady from the official family, and she was very prejudiced against foxes and ghosts, so he didn't blame her for being afraid of Feixiao.

But how could she understand the friendship between herself and Fei Xiao who went through life and death, and went through many dangerous situations?

In Wang Zijin's dream last night, there was a pale and beautiful boy, and that child seemed to be trying to kill him, making him unable to sleep soundly.

But today when Fei Xiao came back, he felt at ease, and immediately fell into a deep sleep.

Unexpectedly, just as he fell into a dream, he saw a pair of brown eyes staring at him, and when he lowered his head, it was that boy again, pulling the hem of his clothes.

"Which family are you from, don't pester me every night, hurry up and go." Wang Zijin begged unbearably disturbed.

"Uncle, how can I go? Uncle will stay in the river for me." He still said the same thing.

"What Hedi, did you find the wrong person?" Wang Zijin was anxious to shake off his hand, but he couldn't.

The boy firmly grasped the prince and said, "That's right, absolutely right! Uncle is the one who will succeed me as the river god. If uncle replaces me, I can become a human."

Wang Zijin wondered, "The river god? What river god?"

The boy smiled and said, "Being a river god, all the water monsters in the river can be driven by you. Follow me quickly."

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw countless wet water plants sprouting from the ground, wrapping around his ankles.When Wang Zijin saw something bad, he ran as fast as he could, only seeing the darkness around him, he couldn't tell the direction, so he could only run wildly all the way.

I also ran like this the night before, if I did this every night, I am afraid that I would be exhausted to death.

After running for a while, he felt exhausted, but a white river slowly appeared in front of his eyes, and when he got closer, he realized that it was the big river before, emitting a gloomy light in the quiet moonlight.

Wang Zijin had no way to escape, so he could only stand by the river and look at it, but he heard a child's voice behind him: "Uncle, isn't this river beautiful?"

Maybe the river is gentle and beautiful, Wang Zijin was not afraid, and asked softly, "What's the name of this river?"

"This river is called Rumei. A beautiful girl drowned in it a long time ago, and the river was named after her."

"Rumei, what a nice name." Prince Jin said, but how many lives have been swallowed by such a graceful name and such a quiet and beautiful river?

"Uncle, if you go in, you will know the real beauty of this river." The boy said persuasively.

Wang Zijin was completely hopeless, the conversation with Fei Xiao today made him feel lifeless, he had waited for him for seven years, but he had to wait for such a cruel fact.

"Do you really feel lonely at the bottom of the river?" Wang Zijin looked back at him.

"Yes, very lonely..." the boy replied lonely.

"Is it true that if you become a river god, you will live forever?" Wang Zijin asked again.

"It's impossible to not die, but it's true to be immortal..."

"Then I'll take over for you, you are also very poor..." Wang Zijin smiled, he wanted to just turn it into a river and forget it.

If he waits for a thousand years and he still looks like a teenager, will he be able to meet Fei Xiao again?The two live in frozen time forever?

"Uncle is so kind!" The boy nodded, only to see that the river suddenly surged, submerging Prince Jin's knees, and then up to his chest.

Wang Zijin felt that the river was cold and comfortable, and he couldn't help but feel sad. He wondered if Feixiao would be sad when he saw him turned into a river, would he come to the river to look for him every day, and would he still laugh at his old age?
Just when the river water submerged his neck, his neck suddenly tightened. He didn't understand what was going on, and his body was already suspended in the air.

I saw a dark blue river under my feet, like white water, winding in the night.

"Why stop me? I don't want to die?" Prince Qi kicked his legs in the air in a panic.

"Zijin, why are you still so childish? If you die, what will Liu'er do? What about the two children?" A clear and soothing voice sounded from above, it was Feixiao.

"I, I want to help because I see the child is pitiful..." Wang Zijin replied hesitantly, but he didn't dare to express his true feelings.

"Look again, is that really a child?"

Wang Zijin hurriedly looked at his feet, where there were no children, but a giant black python lying on the bottom of the dark blue river, with dense scales, it was hideous and terrifying.

"What, what is this?" When he saw it, his scalp immediately went numb.

"This is the child you pitied just now!" Fei Xiao pinched a formula, and the long knife flew to a higher place.

The giant python at the bottom of the river poked its head out of the water, and saw a head the size of a house, blocking their way. The python's head was covered with black scales, and there were a pair of eyes as big as lanterns. Gleaming brown.

"Where did you come from, you fox, to spoil my good deeds?" When it spoke human language, its voice was exactly the same as that of a boy.

After hearing this, Fei Xiao couldn't help but sneered: "It's a good thing to take someone's life? Don't make people laugh..."

The giant python was extremely angry, and the water in the river suddenly rolled up a silver-white dragon, and came straight towards them.

Seeing the water dragon approaching in an instant, Wang Zijin was so frightened that he yelled, "Fei Xiao, I was wrong, I don't want to die, let's run away!"

"Now you also know that you regret it?" Fei Xiao chuckled, turned around, and rushed towards the silver dragon formed by the water with a long knife.

"See how you run forward?" The giant python laughed loudly when it saw it, the laughter was like thunder, which made Wang Zijin dizzy.

When the prince entered, he saw the water dragon opened its mouth wide and came to bite them quickly. He could even see its thick fangs clearly, and the wet water droplets covered his face.

He lost all thoughts and closed his eyes, just waiting for himself to be drowned alive.

Unexpectedly, as soon as the water dragon bit Feixiao's body, her body quickly split to two sides.Feixiao was dressed in white, and slid across the sky like a shooting star. Wherever it passed, the water dragon disintegrated, and water droplets fell one after another.

Reflecting the stars and moonlight, like countless pearls flying in the sky, the scenery is extremely weird and beautiful.

"Water-avoiding curse?" In the blink of an eye, the giant python was thrown behind him and roared angrily.

"That's right, it's the water-avoidance spell. Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will never end in a hundred battles." Fei Xiao laughed triumphantly, and she had already taken the prince to flee far away, only the laughter echoed in the vast starry sky.

Wang Zijin sat up again, and he was lying on his own bed. Just like in the study last time, he was completely wet, as if he had just been fished out of the river.

I saw Fei Rong, dressed in white like snow, standing in front of her bed, holding a red demon knife.

A black water mark snaked on the floor of the room, and when it was about to reach the head of the bed, it was cut off in one fell swoop.

"Is what he just said true?"

"That's right," Fei Xiao said again, "but I will definitely not let you become that unlucky river god."

"Fei Xiao," Wang Zijin looked at him and asked with concern, "This time our opponent is the River God, do you have a chance of winning?"

Feixiao's beautiful face was cold and dignified like condensed frost and snow.Wang Zijin was full of anticipation, he only hoped that he could nod his head, and he felt comforted in his heart.

Unexpectedly, Fei Xiao turned her face away, avoided his earnest gaze, turned around and left.

He walked to the door, stopped again, and looked back at Wang Zijin with a smile, "Zi Jin, can you promise me something?"

"Of course, I agree to whatever you say!"

"No matter what I do to you in the future, you have to believe me and don't hate me, can you?"

Wang Zijin saw him in white clothes, with a smile on his lips, standing in the night, as if he was going to go with the wind like a banished fairy, he couldn't help nodding.

After Fei Hong left, he was sad and scared, so he slipped into Liu'er's room to see her, and saw that Liu'er was sleeping soundly, and under the moonlight, there were already fine lines at the corners of his eyes, adding some traces of time.

Looking at this bright and beautiful sleeping face, he said guiltily, "Liu'er, I'm so confused. I almost left you and left just now. I'm really sorry for you. You won't blame me, will you?"

Liu'er seemed to have heard his words, the corners of her mouth turned up slightly in her sleep, as if smiling.Wang Zijin held her slender hand with nostalgia, as if he wanted to hold the time of his life.

In the early morning of the next day, Fei Xiao invited the prince in and out to enjoy the snow.

I saw a heavy snow yesterday that dyed the world into a piece of silver, and the two walked on the snow and walked outside the city.

Wang Zijin wanted to ask him where he was going several times, but seeing his indifferent expression, he still couldn't say anything, Wang Zijin only felt that after Fei Xiao came back this time, it seemed that she was separated from him by thousands of mountains and rivers, and it was difficult to get close to him.

After walking for another hour, the surrounding scenery became more and more desolate, with weeds overgrown, dead trees and branches, Fei Xiao said: "We're here!" Finally, the silence between the two was broken.

The prince looked around and saw nothing but a few ruined willow trees in front of him.

"What is this place?" Wang Zijin wondered.

"This is where Rumei River is located." Fei Xiao stretched out her long finger, pointing to the wasteland.

When Wang Zijin heard the name, he was terrified, wondering why Fei Xiao brought her here?Shouldn't he stay as far away from the river as possible?

He looked carefully, and saw that there seemed to be a river not far from his feet, but it snowed all day yesterday, and the river was covered with ice and snow.

"Let's go, Zijin." Feixiao said, walking towards the river alone.

"Why did we come here? Let's go home quickly." The closer Wang Zijin got closer, the more eerie the river was like a silent beast.

Fei Xiao, who was walking in front, looked back and said with a smile: "Know yourself and know each other, I'm here to see how frozen the river is."

"Is the freezing of the river related to this matter?"

Fei Xiao still didn't answer, and walked quickly on the snow, one in front of the other, and the two soon reached the river.

The prince looked in and saw that a thin layer of ice had just frozen on the surface of the river. It would take at least ten and a half months for the river to completely freeze.

But the river water under the ice is crystal clear like azure crystal, and it complements the white snow, which is breathtakingly beautiful.Wang Zijin took a few more glances, and then he was fascinated, and walked involuntarily towards the thin and fragile river.

I just feel that life is too short, with more suffering and less joy, so it's better to plunge into it and take a good rest.

"Zi Jin!" He took two steps in a daze, and a concerned call sounded from behind him, and he saw Fei Xiao standing by the river, her beautiful face full of concern, looking at herself worriedly.

This situation is very similar to the moment when they first met.
