The years I was in the human world

Chapter 2: Ashes and Ashes

"Lord God." Seeing Sui Miao turning to leave, Qing He called him again. Sui Miao turned around and looked at her coldly, as if asking her if she had anything else to say. The blue-robed priestess hesitated for a while, and finally said, "If there is anything I can help you with, just tell me and I will do my best."

"Yeah." Sui Miao tilted his head slightly, feeling a little surprised. He didn't understand why Qinghe was so keen to help him, but out of politeness, he didn't refuse. He just responded indifferently and then turned and left.

Watching his back, Qinghe sighed in disappointment. She knew that Sui Mo did not take her words to heart. That guy was used to being alone in Yuluan Palace and never cared about others. To him, perhaps his colleagues were no different from ordinary people.

Compared to the Yuluan Palace at the end of the year, which is desolate and silent with snow all year round, the Qingyang Palace during the Dongjun Flower Festival is surrounded by a sea of ​​flowers, with springs crashing between rocks, orioles singing on the branches, and lively little flower fairies holding new dresses and constantly inviting their lord, who is taking a nap on the couch, to admire them.

The man in a scarlet dress closed his eyes and waved his hands impatiently, saying, "Go play somewhere else and don't bother me."

Several fairies were still chattering around Hua Chao in a lively manner, making a lot of noise. When Sui Mo walked around the winding corridor and came to the back garden, he saw such a scene: a man dressed as a woman with disheveled hair and open clothes lying there, with a group of beautiful girls throwing themselves on him. Even though his lunch break was disturbed by the chirping noise, there was no sign of annoyance in his eyes. He just sat up, unable to bear it any more, rubbed his brows helplessly and sighed.

Sui Miao did not say anything. He leaned against the pillar with his hands in his sleeves and just watched them playing. Until Hua Chao woke up, he rubbed his messy hair and raised his head. He saw a snow-white figure standing in the corridor, which was so out of place with his colorful Qingyang Palace.

This guy Sui Mo isolated all the gods from the outside, and even if they came, they wouldn't speak.

"What are you making so much noise for? Have you seen the guests coming? Why don't you go and prepare tea?" Hua Chao waved his hand with a headache, signaling the noisy fairies under his command to be quiet. Even if someone else had come today, he could let the fairies make as much noise as they wanted, but it happened to be the end of the year.

He just stood there, and it seemed as if the whole area was desolate. The fairies all quieted down, looking at Sui Mo curiously, wondering who was it that their master valued so much.

However, this god with a cold face really has a good appearance. The gods of Buzhou Mountain were born according to the creation of heaven and earth, and there are no ugly ones. But there is really no one as beautiful as the one in front of him.

It is used to describe a man's handsomeness or beauty.

Her black hair was like a waterfall, tied into a knot at the back of her head with a white jade hairpin, as if she had just put it in when she woke up. The hair on both sides of her temples fell loosely on her cheeks, making her skin look even whiter than snow. Her eyebrows were relaxed, her eyes were sparkling like autumn waves, and her lips were naturally red without any lipstick. She had a very charming face, but her expression and temperament were extremely cold. It was because of this that she was so fascinating.

Xiao Taohua, who was originally leaning against Hua Chao's legs, became fascinated by the sight. While pouring tea, she brushed past Sui Miao. Maybe because she was used to playing around with Hua Chao, she had no manners when facing Sui Miao. When passing by him, she even reached out and plucked the jade hairpin that Sui Miao was using to tie his hair. His hair was originally casually tied up and barely secured at the back of his head. Now that the thing holding it in place was gone, his long black hair fell down, making his waist look even slimmer and his face more handsome.

After Xiao Taohua pulled out the hairpin, she ran away, leaving her stunned master and the equally bewildered Sui Miao staring at each other. The two people with messy hair looked at each other for a moment, and it was Hua Chao who reacted first. He straightened his loose collar and apologized to Sui Miao on behalf of his maid: "Don't blame me, Lord God. The little girl is used to being naughty in my place. I offended you without any respect."

"No problem." Sui Miao shook his head. He came to Hua Chao today for something important, so there was no need to waste time on these trivial matters. However, he still said, "The jade hairpin is a magic weapon. Don't let her take it out and cause trouble."

"Of course." Hua Chao agreed immediately and invited Sui Miao to the main hall. He took out a hairband for him to tie up his hair. His maid brought him a cup of tea. The steam from the tea rose. In the mist, Hua Chao spoke first, "Now the whole Buzhou Mountain knows that Lord Cangwu is investigating the old events. We are new to the subject, and our understanding of that event is entirely based on the records in the Beihong Mirror and the Taihuang Divine Calendar."

"There is no problem with the records in the Beihong Mirror and the Divine Calendar. Originally, I didn't think there was anything fishy about this matter. However, when Cangwu started to investigate, Taihuang was secretive, which made people suspicious." Hua Chao frowned and said, this is the main reason why Taihuang is afraid of Sui Mo.

Back then, Ke Qin executed Xiao Yueheng among the innate gods. The acquired gods were not aware of the truth. They only knew that he had an evil spirit entering his body and persecuting his brother. The records in the Beihong Mirror also showed that it was Xiao Yueheng himself who had an evil spirit entering his body. Cangwu went deep into the land of annihilation to save him, but was ambushed by him and trapped in the land of annihilation without any news.

Later, the temple that Cangwu left on Mount Buzhou collapsed, which was a symbol of the fall of the gods. So the gods tacitly accepted that Cangwu was dead, and Xiao Yueheng, who had the evil spirit in his body, was naturally convicted and executed.

There was nothing suspicious about this matter, and most of the innate gods who knew about it died, leaving only Taihuang, Keqin and Sui Miao. Huachao and Qinghe were born by the Heavenly Dao to fill the vacancies, so naturally no one investigated the truth of the incident.

Now the bad thing is that Cangwu, who was supposed to be dead, comes back to bring up old scores, and Taihuang is acting evasive. For a while, there is panic, and the gods have all kinds of speculations in their minds. Sui Miao, who has been living in seclusion, is also dragged out in front of people.

"Sui Miao, why is it that only you know about that matter?" Hua Chao knew the purpose of Sui Miao's visit. Now Tai Huang tried every means to silence Sui Miao. If he wanted to save his life, he had no choice but to cut off his tail and leave Buzhou Mountain. However, as a priest in heaven, he knew the principle of lips and teeth being cold. He really couldn't bear to see Sui Miao abandon his ten thousand years of cultivation and fall into the lower world. "Now that Cangwu is reopening the old case, you can tell him and he will protect you. Why do you have to go to the lower world to suffer?"

Sui Miao picked up the teacup and took a sip, then knelt in front of the table, lowering his eyes and saying nothing, as if he was thinking about something. He didn't listen to a word Hua Chao said. After a moment, he gently put the teacup down, raised his head and looked at Hua Chao calmly. Because he had something to ask, he used a respectful title: "Lord Dong, when I reach the lower world, Taihuang will definitely not forgive me. I hope you can choose a place for me so that all the gods and Buddhas in the sky will not be able to find me."

As soon as Sui Miao said this, Hua Chao knew that he had failed to persuade him, and he was not disappointed. Sui Miao lived in seclusion, but as a fellow Four Seasons God, Hua Chao knew his temper a little bit, and knew that no one could persuade him once he made a decision. He just sighed and said regretfully: "Since the incident with Xiao Yueheng, we haven't had any new gods here. The gods who ascended later became immortals below them. Their status is not as good as Buzhou Mountain, but it won't be too unfair to you."

No new gods will be relocated to Mount Buzhou. The new gods will form their own fairyland. The fairyland will manage the affairs of all living beings, and Mount Buzhou will manage all living beings and the fairyland.

"Thank you." Sui Miao thanked him, thinking that it would be a shame to ask someone to do something for him and let them work for nothing. After thinking for a while, he took off his own divine weapon and handed a piece of cold white jade to Hua Chao. "I have nothing but this to express my gratitude."

The white jade was soft and smooth to the touch, and was in perfect condition as a whole. After being reforged and inlaid, it would become a top-grade magic weapon. What's more, it was something that Sui Miao had disassembled from his own divine weapon. Hua Chao waved his hands repeatedly, not daring to accept it. Seeing that Sui Miao did not accept it, he put the thing down, got up and left. Seeing this, Hua Chao also thought it was worth asking someone to put the thing away properly.

When he was about to leave at the end of the year, Hua Chao called out to him again, "Why are you doing this, Lord God?"

His natal magic weapon was dismantled and he went to the lower world in a miserable state. How could such a proud god fall to this state?

After solving the matter in the lower world, Sui Miao relaxed a little. He didn't want to die. As for the suggestions made by Hua Chao and Qing He, he had thought about it. He was a smart man and would naturally look for the most advantageous way out for himself. However - Sui Miao raised his eyes in a daze, his gaze fell in the direction of a desolate ruin, which was the old palace of Xiao Yueheng.

That guy... These gods are all indifferent. After all, life and death are predetermined, and those who control the rules should not have too much sympathy and mercy. But Xiao Yueheng always likes to do things that burn himself and illuminate others. Even if he is a little indifferent, he will not die in Ke Qin's crime. But he died and became an evil ghost. Who will remember him?

Dead grass is growing wildly on the ruins of the collapsed temple, just like autumn weeds. It is like this in the human world and in the divine world as well, there is no difference.

"Lord Suimo." He was still in a daze when the young man's hoarse voice brought him back to his senses. He looked in the direction of the voice and saw the tall Cangwu standing in a position that he didn't find offensive, looking at him with a complicated expression.

"Little - Lord Cangwu, what's the matter?" He almost blurted out "Little Sun God", a nickname he had made up in his mind. Sui Miao quickly changed his words in annoyance, his expression still calm.

"You know what happened to my brother back then, right?" Xi Shen was used to being open and aboveboard, so he asked whatever he wanted to ask now, "Please tell me what happened back then, okay?"

Sui Miao looked at him silently. The man in front of him was dressed in mournful white, with fatigue between his eyebrows. It seemed that he had spent a lot of energy on his brother's affairs. Sui Miao moved his lips, but before he could say the word of refusal, Cang Wu seemed to have guessed what he was going to say. He knelt down before he opened his mouth, looked up at him and begged, "Don't use those things that everyone knows to prevaricate me. I came to the Land of Silence for Xiao Ling. Don't I know whether he has harmed me or not?"

"That's my only brother, my only blood relative in this world." Cangwu looked at Sui Miao with a sad look. The high-spirited God Lord now knelt there with a sad look, begging for the truth humbly and humbly, "God Lord Sui Miao, Xiao Ling was closest to you when he was alive. Please have mercy on us brothers and let me tell him the truth, okay?"

Cangwu was a man of integrity. Even the Land of Annihilation could not take his life. But now he knelt in front of him and cried. The words that Sui Miao had prepared suddenly became speechless. He looked at Cangwu, whose face was filled with grief, hesitant and bewildered. He looked at the ruins of the palace helplessly. He murmured to himself, "It's great, Xiaoling, that your brother still cares about you and has come back to give you justice."

Sui Mo's voice was very low, and Cang Wu was kneeling far away, so he could only barely hear the word "justice" and hesitated, "Lord God?"

Sui Miao came back to his senses, shook his head, raised his hand to stop Cang Wu from talking, his white jade fingertips showed a point from his sleeves, the heavy clothes piled up on his body made him look fragile: "You get up first, let me go back and think about this matter, and then decide whether to tell you."

Sui Miao had no need to hide anything, but Cang Wu raised his head with tears in his eyes, and saw pain in Sui Miao's indifferent eyes. Cang Wu's heart trembled suddenly, as if he understood something, and he forced himself to speak with difficulty: "May I ask God, but he...?"

He only said half of the words, but Sui Miao understood them. He nodded very lightly, then turned and left. Then he was stunned and turned back to ask, "What's your name? It's not your Buddhist name."

"Xiao Jin."

"What's the courtesy name?"

"Xue Ci."

"No wonder." Sui Mo murmured. In his memory, a bamboo stick for divination fell on the snow. The document asking about life and death was burned to ashes and floated everywhere. "The moon follows the flowing clouds and smoke, and the sky is at the end of the world, with a sword in hand and the wind saying goodbye to the snow."

That guy knew this day would come.

……

"You cry so ugly." After Sui Miao left, Yao Su, who was hiding in the dark, walked up to Xiao Jin, laughed at his tears, and handed him a handkerchief.

"There is something wrong with Xiao Ling's death." Xiao Jin did not take Yao Su's handkerchief. He wiped the tears from his face casually, with a fierce look in his eyes, completely devoid of the tenderness he had when he cried in front of Sui Mo.

"Didn't you know about this a long time ago?" Yao Su took back the handkerchief. They both knew that there was something fishy about what happened back then. The Sad Red Mirror was actually kicked to pieces by Xiao Jin himself. His purpose was naturally to cooperate with Tai Huang who wanted to cover up the truth. He wanted the other party to think that he knew nothing and give him a chance to clean up the traces. At the same time, he also wanted to shake Tai Huang's authority in Mount Buzhou.

A god who is timid and even willing to destroy the Sad Red Mirror to cover up the truth will always have his voice among the gods greatly reduced.

"No, I originally thought someone was trying to harm him." Xiao Jin shook his head. He clenched his fists as if he wanted to grab something, but then let go dejectedly. "But judging from Sui Miao's reaction, it's clear that he doesn't want to live anymore."

"Senior Sister, do you think he hates me for leaving him alone?" Xiao Jin suddenly didn't know the meaning of his choice back then. He secretly swapped his fate with Xiao Yueheng, and took the evil spirit that was supposed to be born in his brother into the land of annihilation, but Xiao Yueheng still died.

"Don't think too much. I'll follow Sui Miao and find out the truth from the old god." Yao Su patted Xiao Jin's shoulder. They met in the lower world. At that time, Yao Su was wearing the skin of a fox girl and parading around in the human world. She and Xiao Jin, who had just crawled out of the land of annihilation and had a stupid mind, were senior sister and junior brother in Hehuan Sect for a hundred years. So even though Xiao Jin later knew that Yao Su's real body was a man, he did not change the habit of calling him senior sister.
