first rival

The cave in front is densely covered with moss, and the water is wet, and it glows moist in the sun.

Fan Li and I looked at each other, and decided to go in and find out.Yu Xing and Chi Yan were waiting outside, because they are far inferior to us in terms of adaptability, and following in may not help us, but will cause us trouble.

My intuition tells me that the cave in front of me in this Buzhou Mountain is the place where Pangu sat down.

From the outside, it looks very ordinary.It's just such a small cave, surrounded by pools of water and fallen leaves. The branches and leaves of an old tree next to it tremble and dance lightly in the wind.

The water in the pool is crystal clear, and you can also see a group of bluish gray thumb-sized swimming fish hiding among the pebbles, sticking their heads out from time to time, looking at us curiously.

I brushed away the Artemisia annua in front of me, and stepped onto the only small stone bridge leading to the cave.

It is such an ordinary place—Pangu, a divine mansion that pioneered the world, created all the colorful pearls and golden jade in the world, the heavenly palace is misty and dignified, the royal palace of the royal family is made of gold and jade, and the two cities of obsidian are magnificent. , but finally died in such an inconspicuous place.

A place that couldn't be more ordinary.

After stepping on the stone bridge, I looked back at Chi Yan, walked to the end of the bridge, lowered my head slightly, and entered the moss-covered place.

There is very little space in front.

I habitually flick my fingers, wanting to ignite a ball of Danqing fire on my fingertips, so as to illuminate the road ahead.But when I habitually snapped my fingers, I realized that my clothes were stained with the water from the waterfall, and I had lost all my kung fu, and there was no way to use Danqinghuo.

I sighed helplessly, the road ahead was pitch black, and in the narrow and narrow cave, Fan Li also followed.This cave can only accommodate one person to pass through, and I can still stand upright, but Fan Li has to keep his head down, as long as he raises his head a little, his head will hit the hard stone wall above.

I turned around and looked at Fan Li, and asked in a low voice, "Is there a fire?"

This cave is completely different from ordinary caves, and after walking for a long time, there is no end in sight.And the darkness inside seems to be able to swallow all light. Although my facial features are transparent and my eyesight is far superior to others, I still can't see anything in this cave.

The darkness here is so close to one's heart, one can't see one's fingers after walking for a long time, and it is extremely quiet, only the light and inaudible breathing of the fence behind him can be heard all around.

I heard Fan Li's footsteps stagnate.

My eyes are open, but both of us are just like blind men, walking forward but never seeing the end, walking backward...  

I'm afraid that the fence will attack me.

In the darkness, the sound of breathing was close at hand, and the beating sound of Fan Li's heart was almost clearly audible.Suddenly, a gust of wind passed by my ear, as fast as lightning.I subconsciously felt a chill in my heart, and as fast as a gust of wind, I reached out and grabbed the thing that just flew past my ear abruptly.

Fan Li snorted, it seemed that he was attacked just like me.

That thing moved too fast, and I pulled it violently, and it was broken into two pieces.The thing in my hand is dry and cold, with the touch of bark, and there are fine thorns growing on it, and a few of them are embedded in the palm of my hand, which is not painful or itchy.

It is thorns.

It seems that Jingyue should be in this cave, and she is also manipulating these thorns to attack us.But now others are keeping in the dark and I'm showing. If Jing Yue is really determined to take our lives, both Fan Li and I will suffer.

Fan Li ruthlessly shook off the thorn in his hand, and shouted into the cave: "Jingyue?! How brave are you?! Get out of here!"

The cave was still dark.

Suddenly, a light came from behind.

A group of foxfire flew over, illuminating my front.I looked back and saw that Chi Yan and Yu Xing had already arrived. Chi Yan walked in front and raised his right hand. There were three bluish-white fox fires burning above them, floating in the air, but they happened to illuminate her About two feet of darkness around the body.

I was surprised at first, and then confused. Although Chi Yan's fox fire is the instinct of their nine-tailed fox clan, which is the same as Jingyue's ability to manipulate thorns and vines, but Chi Yan is like a mortal now, how can she use the magic of fox fire? of?

Chi Yan came to my side, Fan Li turned sideways to let her come.Chi Yan looked up at me, three groups of fox fires spun around her body, illuminating everything around her brightly.In the front, there are thorns that I just chopped off with a knife in my hand.

I threw away the thorns and asked Chi Yan seriously: "Didn't I tell you to wait outside? Besides, when will you use fox fire? Have you recovered your skills?"

Chi Yan's face, reflected by the bluish-white fox fire, was extremely pale. She raised her head and looked at me with a faint smile on her face: "Chonghua, I'll help you."

I was at a loss for words, and said seriously to her: "It's very dangerous here, you'd better get out quickly. Jingyue may be waiting in a corner to lay hands on me. The natural ability of our Beiling clan is to be fast, don't worry, Jing Yue can't shade me."

Chi Yan raised his head, his eyebrows and eyes were graceful, the corners of his eyes were slightly red, and he said softly: "Chonghua, I'm here to do what I haven't finished."

What is the unfinished business?

I raised my head to look at Fen Li, and then at Yu Xing, who shrugged his shoulders, expressing that he didn't know anything.I was also a little angry. Suddenly, Chi Yan was so disobedient, it was really troublesome, so I comforted her gently: "Chi Yan, listen to me and go out first. You just wait outside, what are you talking about?" Come in, if we really encounter something later, maybe you will hold me back."

I have made the pros and cons so clear, but Chi Yan is still unmoved.She lowered her head and seemed to be looking at my skirt.I bent down a little, looked into her lowered eyes, coaxed her gently and patiently like a child, and asked softly in a consulting tone: "Chi Yan, what's wrong with you? Don't worry, I'll be fine."

Chi Yan's eye sockets suddenly turned red.

She raised her head, hugged me suddenly, leaned over and pressed against my ear, her voice was rough and hoarse: "Ah Jiu, do you want to save your second brother?"

I was taken aback.

She hugged my neck with all her strength, buried her face in my neck, tears dripped down, wet my neck, and flowed down the collarbone, wet and cold: "Ah Jiu, Qingyou I have been waiting for you in this world for tens of thousands of years. I have to pay for the unfinished things in the previous life."

I froze.

It's like pouring a pot of cold water over your head, freezing all your internal organs into frost, and it's like a flame rising from the bottom of your heart, burning everything in this world to ashes. The mixed flavors are fermenting and brewing in the bottom of my heart.

I never thought she would remember.

I never thought that one day Chi Yan would remember the grievances and enmity between me and her.In the end, the second brother was trapped in the endless ruins, and I was trapped in Kunlun Mountain for a hundred years and suffered all kinds of torture.

In the end, the swords faced each other, and the phoenix crown was stained with blood.

I never thought about how I should treat her, how to treat Bai Jue, the person I have loved and hated thoroughly.

How should I face her?When the second elder brother was still suffering in the Endless Ruins, when Chi Yan remembered everything, and even when he was burdened with sins again because of this memory.

But she is Chi Yan.

But she is also Bai Jue.

I once loved deeply, and hated my true love once. I fell into a demon for her in my previous life, and I lived for her in my future life.

But how do I face the true love I once loved, hated, and even drew my sword against?

When my dearest relative, my only second brother, was suffering in Endless Market, did I sleep with the person who killed my second brother?

I can not do it.

I loved Bai Jue in my previous life, Chi Yan in my later life, and the same soul as the two of them, but is it just love, a reason to hurt relatives and loved ones?

If she was just Chi Yan, a pure Chi Yan who didn't bear any sins, a newborn little fox, if she hadn't thought of this past, if she was still so innocent and pure, I wouldn't have to feel so much guilt when I was with her feel.

But now she remembered.

I froze.

Behind him, Xing was stunned, but he still tactfully did not speak. After he opened his mouth and eyes wide, he consciously covered his mouth.

Fan Li murmured to himself in a low voice beside him: "I really guessed it right."

Immediately he sighed.

I didn't fight back to save Chi Yan.

I just stood there quietly.

I'm not qualified to hug her, just because of my second brother who died tragically under Fan Tian's hands.That was the wrong result caused by Bai Jue, and it was also a tragedy caused by my ignorance.

The voice and smile of the second brother, and the soft voice of the second brother are the huge gap between me and Bai Jue.

It's not that I can't forgive Bai Jue, I just can't forgive myself.Love exchanged for the tragic death of a loved one.

Do I want to embrace my true love with this hand that is stained with the blood of my second brother?

Stepping on the bones of the second brother to step on the throne of the winner in this love?

I do not want to.

I'm not qualified to hug her.

Chi Yan raised his head in my arms.

Tears rolled down her eyes, she looked into my eyes, her eyes turned red suddenly, and she smiled softly: "Ah Jiu, I'm sorry."

I did not speak.

Under those three fox fires, Chi Yan was really beautiful.Her slightly flushed eye sockets, pale almost transparent skin, and pale lips that had lost their blood.

Just like the peerless beauty I saw with the phoenix crown and the xiapei when I entered Qingyou holding a sky halberd and stirring up a bloody storm.

I looked down at her, and after a while, I said softly, word by word: "Why did you write a letter to trick second brother back?"

Her tears fell from her eyes like broken pearls.Seeing my expression, she slowly let go of her hand, took a deep breath, and said softly, "Ah Jiu, I will protect you."

Foxfire was burning beside him, spinning slowly.I looked down at her, and suddenly burst out laughing: "Bai Jue, you are so talented."

Chi Yan raised her head, she looked at me, with tears in her eyes, she shook her head and said, "I don't call that name anymore. Ah Jiu, do you still hate me?"

After a while, she smiled sadly and said softly: "It turns out that my previous life was like this."

She raised her head to look at me, and said seriously: "I killed my second brother and made you go crazy, so, do you hate me, Ah Jiu?"

How can I not hate her.

My eyes were bloodshot, I reached out and grabbed her wrist forcefully, pressed her against the wall, and said sharply with red eyes: "Hate you? Tell me, why don't you tell me not to hate you?"

Chi Yan looked at me with the same expression as before.There was no trace of regret in her eyes, but there was a layer of water in her eyes, and she said softly: "I will help you rescue the second brother, Ah Jiu, believe me, I will definitely rescue him."

I pushed her against the wall and said sharply: "I only ask you now, why did you call the second brother back?! How many times do I have to say it, I just ask you this question!"

All along, I just want to ask this question.

Why, why did you deceive the second brother back, copied my handwriting, wrote such a letter, asked the second brother to come back, and asked him to avenge me with a sword because he saw the fantasy of my tragic death with his own eyes, and rushed to Fan without hesitation. Heaven, Fan Tian was forever trapped in Shura Purgatory in the Endless Ruins.

What is she for? !

After I met Chi Yan, after I learned the truth, after I understood everything, I still couldn't understand why she called the second brother back?

I guessed and imagined countless times, and I even used the greatest malice and hatred to guess whether Bai Jue wanted to cut off my thoughts in the heavens and make me really break away from her and go away with her. Let the second brother come back, let me watch him die in front of me with my own eyes, and break my last trace of nostalgia.

Or maybe she never loved me, so she didn't care about my second brother's life at all.

I pushed Chi Yan onto the stone wall, pressed her hand against the stone wall, and stared closely at her eyes.Chi Yan looked at me with red eyes, tears glistening, and suddenly said stubbornly: "Chonghua, second brother or me, who is more important?"

I looked at her, and said angrily, "There's no comparison at all! You are my true love, and my second brother is my relative! How can we compare?!"

Chi Yan looked at me with stubborn eyes. She looked at me and said firmly: "In my heart, no one is more important than you! Even myself is incomparable!"

Seeing her biting her lip and stubborn appearance, my heart softened, and I slightly loosened the fingers that were holding her wrist tightly. Angry and painful, I grabbed her wrist, resigned to my fate, and said with a wry smile: "Chi Yan, if, if you ever loved me at all, please tell me, why did you ask the second brother to come back? Tell me, why?"

Chi Yan looked at me, tears welled up in his eyes again, he struggled a few times, but couldn't break free from my confinement, suddenly tears welled up: "Ah Jiu, I hate you so much, you don't understand anything, whether it's in the previous life or in this life Forget it. You treated me so well in the previous life, I hate you very much, I hate you, I hate myself even more, I hate, I hate!"

Next to him, Fan Li held the sword and looked at it with relish, while being wary of Jingyue's thorns.Jiao Xing's eyes became hot when he saw it, and he suddenly shouted: "Chi Yan! If you are really Bai Jue! You should make it clear to Chonghua! Can't you explain the knot between the two of you for so many years? You must feel bad about the second brother Chonghua, since you have remembered it all, why don't you spread it out today and explain it clearly!"

Chi Yan bit his lip and looked at Yu Xing next to him, his eyes were red. After being stared at by her like this, Yu Xing immediately closed his mouth sullenly, and whispered: "If you don't speak clearly today, Chong Hua won't let you Let's go. Chi Yan, you and Chonghua have experienced so much together, what can't you say?"

I pushed her against the wall even harder, held her wrist tightly, looked into her eyes seriously, and said sternly: "Tell me, why did you ask the second brother to come back?!"

Chi Yan raised his foot to kick me away, but I raised one leg and pressed her against her so that she couldn't move.I looked directly into her eyes and said angrily, "What did you say?!"

Chi Yan looked at me, red eyes angrily said: "Chonghua, what exactly do you want?"

I am heartbroken.

It was as if a hole had been opened in the heart, and the cold wind was howling, freezing my soul.The severe winter fell on all sides, and the whole person felt cold.

My beloved sweetheart, she said she loves me, but she wrote to call back my only relative, and let him, in order to save me, fly away in front of me and be trapped in endless ruins forever.

Although now I know that I can save my second brother, I can untie this knot in my heart, I can love Bai Jue, Chi Yan, and this soul that I once regarded as the only soul.

After rescuing my second brother, I can untie all the knots in my heart, cleanse my hands of the sins with a clear conscience, and embrace my true love frankly.

But neither Bai Jue nor Chi Yan, in the end, they refused to tell me why they called Second Brother back.

Why is it?

Does she hate her second brother that much?Even if he is dead and forever trapped in endless ruins, he still refuses to tell me what was written in that letter, and what purpose she had for writing that stroke.

I let go of Chi Yan's hand.

She looked at me stubbornly, and I knew she had remembered all of Bai Jue's memories, from the first time I saw her at the Qingyou border in Beiling, when I first stretched out my beak to peck her delicate white down, to when she After becoming an adult, she hugged me and watched the splendid fireworks for ten miles in the world. Up to now, she and I have gone through all kinds of things and finally got married.

But she still wants to lie to me and hide me. I have longed for an explanation for a long time. I even thought, if Chi Yan is Bai Jue, should I use the blade of the sky halberd to force her to speak out, then call back the second brother? reason.

But now I can't do it.

I fell in love with her again, no matter the resentment from the previous life or the love of this life, I can no longer force her to do anything.

But what I got is this result.

When she thought of everything, she kept saying that she loved me and regarded me as the only one, but she was unwilling to tell me from the beginning to the end why she wanted to find her second brother back.

If you love me, why do you still want to watch my hands stained with sin and the blood of my second brother, but never tell me.

Frustrated, I let go of her hand and took a step back.

Three groups of foxfire were burning beside her, and the blue-gray color reflected her face pale.

Yu Xing stomped his feet in a hurry, I looked at Chi Yan's pale face, and said softly, "Let me go."

Chi Yan's face turned even paler, she looked at me, not daring to say: "What did you say?"

I looked at her, as if I had exhausted all my strength, but the words I spoke were light and without the slightest weight: "I said, stop here, Chi Yan, you have your own difficulties, you can't tell why Write a letter to call back the second brother, then we don't need to continue."

I know that Chi Yan loves me, just like I know how much I love her.

But why she still refuses to say the motive of her writing to call back her second brother? I can already rescue my second brother, I can untie all the knots in my heart, and start over with her, as long as she tells me what it was for in the first place. would make such a move.

I understand everything, I understand that she wants to save my life, I understand that she has read the heavenly scriptures, I understand that the intention of taking me away during the battle between immortals and demons was just to save me, but now I just want to know, what is she doing? Why did you call your second brother back?

Why, why did you call your second brother back?All of this obviously has nothing to do with him. I was the one who was possessed by the devil, and I was the one who was going to get rid of by the heavens. Why did you let the second brother come back and kill my only relative?

Chi Yan's face was pale, she looked at me, and I looked into her eyes quietly, as if all the strength in my body was pulled away at that moment, and I didn't have any energy to argue with her about this issue.

Chi Yan looked at me, she slowly recovered her breathing, and smiled with red eyes: "Okay."

I resigned myself to closing my eyes.

it is good.

Such a fluffy word.

In the last life, I watched my second elder brother die tragically in front of my eyes. Bai Jue rushed over. She covered me with her body and blocked the swords and guns of the demon soldiers for me. I watched the bright red blood dripping from the corner of her mouth. I couldn't hear what she was yelling, and my mind was full of what my second brother said last.

He said, Ah Jiu, how can you teach people to relax.

He said, Ah Jiu, why did you lie to me?

If Bai Jue hadn't written that letter, I wouldn't hate her.I thought it was a misunderstanding, so when I put the halberd on her neck with blood red eyes, I saw her pale face, almost transparent skin, trembling red lips, unbelievable eyes, At that time, I just wanted to ask why she wrote that letter.

I begged her to tell me why she asked my second brother to come back.

I begged her to tell me a reason, she didn't mean to kill my second brother on purpose.

But she refused to tell me until she died.

When I was in Jiuling Shenshan, I held Chi Yan in my arms, stroked her white fluff, and looked at the continuous snow mountain, misty clouds, white snow, I said, if I can really see Bai Jue again, I just want to Ask her a word.

Why did you write to the second brother to let him come back and let him die tragically in front of me.

This has led to the irreversible situation today.

But even though Chi Yan finally remembered all the memories of being Bai Jue today, and read all the grievances, hatred, entanglements, anger and ignorance between me and her in the previous life, she still refused to talk about it.

I was disheartened, and suddenly felt like laughing, wanting to laugh out loud, wanting to laugh at myself, I have been obsessed with it for so many years, I just want a reason, but even after going through the cycle of life and death, she still refuses to say it.

It's really the same soul, stubbornly the same.

I took a step back, stood in front of Chi Yan, and looked at her coldly: "I will get the Samsara Pearl for you, just tell me what you want."

Yu Xing came over, looked at Chi Yan's pale face with fear, pulled my sleeve carefully, and said to me kindly and cautiously: "Chonghua, don't be angry! Chi Yan's body is still weak, you Don't be so mad at her."

I cast a cold glance at Yu Xing. I was calm on the surface, but my heart was almost on fire. Looking at Chi Yan, who was biting his lip, standing on the opposite side with a stubborn face, I was so angry that I could hardly speak.

The only knot between me and her is the death of my second brother. Now I can save my second brother. As long as I can save my second brother, as long as I can wash away the sins on my hands, there will be no barrier between me and her. , I can openly hold her hand.

But why didn't she say it?

What a selfish idea, what a terrible idea, I can accept, I love her more than my own life.

What exactly does she want to do? Until now, she still refuses to tell me what was in that letter?

I stopped looking at Chi Yan and brushed away Yu Xing's hand.Yu Xing's hand was empty, and he didn't dare to come and pull me, but quickly ran to Chi Yan, patted her on the back, sympathized with her, nodded to her with comfort and relief, and said: "What's the matter?" , can't we open up and talk about it? Do we have to make trouble like this? You and Chonghua have finally been together, and I understand your grievances and grievances in previous lives. You are also a sensible person, Chonghua has such a bad temper, she will die when she gets angry, don't be afraid, when her anger subsides, you say a few words to her, and she will turn around."

I walked forward, wishing I could take out the halberd and raze this place to the ground to vent my anger. When Chi Yan heard what Yu Xing said, she forced a wry smile, and her voice sounded softly behind her: "No need. Already, the fate between me and Ah Jiu is over."

Immediately, I was furious, and looking back at her, my whole chest was burning with raging anger, and I almost wanted to turn around and ask her what fate meant.

Under the foxfire, Chi Yan's face was pale in the bluish-white light, her eyes were lowered, and her face was full of tears.

I took two steps forward, and finally stopped angrily, turned around, and looked at her through gritted teeth.

Chi Yan didn't look up at me, she just listened to Yu Xing's reassurance and shook her head from time to time.

Fan Li was watching the excitement with his sword in his arms, looking like he was hanging on high as nothing to do with himself.

In this cave, the moment of joy I just experienced turned into great anger and loss.If she is willing to tell me, if she is willing to tell me the reason why she called her second brother back, even if it is just a small and insignificant explanation, I will believe it.

But she just wouldn't say it.

I can only think that she intentionally killed her second brother, other than that, what else can I guess?

I said angrily: "Xing! What are you still moaning about?! Come here!"

As a bystander, Fan Li chuckled first, expressing his extreme disdain for me who was about to get angry but had no choice but to yell, and lazily came over with his sword in his arms.

When Yu Xing heard my roar, his first reaction was to be stunned, and then hesitated for a moment, seeing Chi Yan's pleasing expression, he retorted softly: "What did you do in the past?"

I was so angry that I glared at him and said, "Why did you come here? Aren't you following me? Otherwise, who else do you want to follow?"

Yu Xing blushed immediately, and said to me very confidently: "But I am also Chi Yan's friend! We have all gone through big storms together, and besides, you don't want to be coaxed by Chonghua, but Chi Yan is different. !"

I immediately glared at Yu Xing, who shrank his neck, but still stood firmly beside Chi Yan, and lowered his voice a little bit towards me: "That's what it is! Chonghua, please be considerate, you can't say goodbye It's gone!"

My anger stagnated a little.

Yuxing's words also made me turn my head to look at Chiyan, but Chiyan shook his head, tugged at Yuxing's sleeve, shook his head and said softly: "There is no chance. Yuxing, what you did for me, I I understand. The fate between me and Chonghua is over, so don't say any more."

I was momentarily annoyed by it.

What is the end of fate?

What does she mean by repeating this sentence over and over again?In the memory of her previous life, Bai Jue hated me so much, but now that Chi Yan remembered her memory of being Bai Jue in her previous life, she immediately wants to draw a line with me?

She hates me that much?

The more I thought about it, the angrier I became, and I turned back and walked in front of Chi Yan.

Jiao Xing was still talking softly to Chi Yan, when he saw me fall back, he immediately shut up, and stepped aside silently.

Fan Li was lazily holding the sword in front of him, and asked impatiently: "Are you still going forward? This kind of love is really troublesome!"

I glanced over, and Fan Li was not angry, but just looked at me with a smile.

I walked up to Chi Yan.

I was taller than her, and I enveloped her invisibly.She raised her head, looked at me, and turned her face to one side after only one glance.

I was full of anger, wanted to vent and had no place to vent, so I gritted my teeth and said, "What is the end of fate? Tell me?"

Chi Yan lowered his eyes, shook his head and said: "When the fate is over, it is over, there is no reason."

I was choked by her words, and I had nowhere to vent my anger. I just stared at her, held back my anger, and asked her: "Why? Said that the fate is over? I just want a result, you would rather give up on me than tell me the reason why you wrote to the second brother in the first place? Tell me, you keep saying that you love me, that’s how you love me ?"

Chi Yan lowered her long eyelashes, and Yu Xing interjected: "Yeah, Chi Yan, you are not kind, you and Chonghua have gone through so much, and finally got together through untold hardships, what's the matter?" Let’s talk about your difficulties! You see, when you were in Tiangong, you knew that the holy spring would completely corrupt you, but you were willing to jump down to save Chonghua. You can sacrifice your life for Chonghua. said?"

Chi Yan glanced at Yu Xing next to him, bit his lips and said: "There is no reason, Chonghua and I are doomed to not get a result, it's better to cut the mess quickly now, it's over, it's good for everyone."

I am extremely disappointed.

I looked at her, and finally smiled wryly: "Chi Yan, you can't get the result, what did you tell me from the beginning, you said, life and death together, how could I believe you?"

Chi Yan's face was pale, without the slightest trace of blood.She was silent for a long time, then raised her head, looked at me, and asked seriously and sadly: "Chonghua, you must save your second brother, right?"

I nodded without thinking.
