moonlit night

When Jun Changye woke up, he couldn't believe his eyes for a moment.

Before that, he dreamed that he was trapped in a sea of ​​flames, and his internal organs were almost turned into ashes under the scorching of the flames.Although he had the determination and courage of a strong man to sever his wrists at certain moments, he didn't want to have the ugly way of being burned to ashes, so even in a coma, he still felt uneasy and almost out of breath.

But soon, Jun Changye felt surrounded by a familiar aura.This feeling is cold and soft, like the first snow in winter, and like the wind that flies down from the top of Juechen Peak, which is icy cold but has no intention of hurting people.

That was a place he could never go back to.

Slowly, the stagnant pain in his chest was relieved, and the surrounding flames were gradually extinguished.Jun Changye saw the embryonic form of a phoenix in the depths of the ashes left after the fire burned out.The young phoenix's shadow gradually deformed and elongated, but it turned into a woman's appearance.

Su Xihe smiled calmly, slowly leaned down, and kissed him on the forehead, as if he was still the little baby who slept peacefully in her arms at first, then thought for a moment, and said: "Your name... is Chang Ye Bar."

The long night is the complete opposite of the day and the light. Is it an existence that has not been expected since birth?

Jun Changye thought silently: Don't you have any expectations of me, mother?Since you don't want me to be happy, why did you bring me into this world?

Su Xihe, who only existed as a memory, couldn't hear what was going on in his heart, and naturally she couldn't answer. She just raised her head and looked into the distance, where a white pagoda reaching the sky towered into the sky.And in the distant sky, above the White Tower, suddenly fell a group of fireballs that were about to burn out.

More and more fireballs fell from the sky, and the White Tower soon crumbled, and with the fall of the last fireball, it collapsed.

This is the record about the disappearance of Tongtian Tower in "Kyushu Strange Tales". It seems to be destroyed by a natural disaster, or it seems to be destroyed by the anger of a certain god.But no matter what the reason is, from then on, everything disappeared, the gate of the fairy world was completely closed, the world's aura gradually became rare, and no mortal had the opportunity to successfully cross the sky and become a member of the so-called noble fairy family.

In fact, when Jun Changye was in the mother's womb, he had seen the collapse and destruction of the fairyland in the mortal world through memory sharing.It's just that these memories were sealed by Su Xihe in the Moyu illusion left behind, and they were unlocked step by step as he grew up. In the end, he also followed the guidance of these memories and entered the secret room under the Beihai Dragon Temple to find They arrived at the crystal coffin left by Su Xihe.It's just that in this puzzle, the most important links are still missing, which makes Jun Changye unable to piece together the whole truth.

But he doesn't care about these, or rather, he cares more about what kind of demon Cang Jue is, why Su Xihe never hides his lust, why his surname is Jun and not Cang, the two of them How they fell in love and why they separated.

And, most importantly, what kind of Yue Qingchen was like when he was still a teenager when he was studying under Su Xihe.

Su Xihe sighed leisurely, his figure gradually became thinner and lighter, as if he was about to leave again, the fire balls that had stopped in the sky began to fall continuously, and they were about to fall on him.Not knowing where the knife was thrown, Jun Changye began to run forward non-stop, as if he had turned back into the stumbling child he once was.

Finally, he opened his eyes suddenly, but closed them again immediately, as if being stabbed by some extremely strong light.When it opened again, it stared blankly at the scene in front of it, and couldn't bear to look away for a moment.After a while, he murmured:

"Are you my illusion again?"

The voice was incredibly gentle, as if afraid of waking up this dream that was about to break at the touch of a finger.

Jun Changye saw Yue Qingchen lying quietly on his side, surrounded by countless colorful fish, as if sleeping in a colorful coral sea, with an almost golden luster shining on his body.And he opened his arms in a half-embracing posture, covering himself in a protective range, as if returning to the days when they had no quarrel a long time ago.

This posture is like a silent invitation, and as soon as I stretch out my hand, I can embrace the person in front of me in my arms, head to shoulder and shoulder to shoulder, cuddling each other for warmth.Jun Changye suddenly felt that his body was extremely cold, as if even his teeth began to chatter uncontrollably, and every part of his body he could feel couldn't wait to respond to this invitation.

How he wished the invitation had come from love.

But alas, it is not.

After a long time, Jun Changye struggled to look away, trying not to care about the too realistic "illusion" in front of him.He slowly sat up and began to examine the injury in his body, but found that it was much lighter than he had imagined before, so he once again confirmed that he was still in a dream.Feng Shen and Lie Po are lying not far away, and in the Dragon Temple at the end of the towering steps behind him, the cold and majestic statue of Jiuzhe is still standing in place, and one long eye seems to be stained with phosphorous powder left by some spirit , looking from the direction of Jun Changye, it seemed to be shining with mocking light.

Jun Changye never liked being stared at like this, even if it was a dead object, so he picked up the split soul and threw it at the stone eye.The blade was deeply embedded in the stone eye, but the stone statue did not move a single thread. Instead, a nine-section whip shot out from behind it like a poisonous snake. Holding it in his hand, he raised Fengshen with the other hand, as if he was about to chop it off.

Immediately there was a majestic shout from the temple:

"Mozun, if I were you, I wouldn't act rashly until I understood the surrounding situation. If you don't let go, the million demon masters who are ambushing around me will rush up and tear up your lover. .”

"I haven't seen you for a long time. The Demon King still likes to joke so much." Jun Changye's hand holding the whip did not loosen, but the tip of the knife on the other side was already hanging on the ground. He breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, but immediately raised another level of vigilance. , Responded casually: "It's just that I'm getting old, so my memory is not very good? I'm used to being lonely, where did I get a good friend?"

"Why are you so stubborn?" There was suspicion in the voice behind the stone statue, "That's not what you said when you asked the king to borrow Wei Tuo flowers."

Jun Changye thought for a while, and felt that this matter was secret and should not be told to others. It should be Leng Beixiao who spoke, but I didn't expect even him to appear in my dream this time.He let go of his hand immediately, and saw that the whip retracted into the Dragon Temple like lightning, and said seriously: "Why is the demon king in the temple? How long have you been here?"

But this time, there was no sound behind the stone statue. Jun Changye didn't know whether Leng Beixiao was pretending to be deaf or dumb, or if he really couldn't hear clearly because he was too far away, so he planned to go over to see the situation and ask the "million demon" by the way. "Teacher" is true or false, but at this moment, I suddenly heard some slight abnormal noises behind me.

He froze for a moment, then slowly turned around, only to see that the colorful swimming fish surrounding Yue Qingchen had already dispersed.The man opened his eyes at some point, his eyes were a little distracted, and he was staring at a certain place in the void.

Jun Changye only hesitated for a while, then walked towards Yue Qingchen, then bent down, shook his hands in front of his eyes, and asked softly, "What are you looking at?"

What are you looking at? In fact, even Yue Qingchen himself doesn't know the answer to this question. He just stared aimlessly at the darkness above, trying to calm down the fear that swept over his heart like a tsunami.

The moonlight, the huge ship, the violent wind and waves caused by the dragon god's anger, and the burning look of the man who fell into the sea from the high ship's edge, and finally looked at himself.

who are you?Why does it appear so clearly in my memory?

I don't know if it's because of being close to the Dragon God Temple again. When Yue Qingchen was still asleep, he felt that his memory suddenly became very chaotic. It flashed before my eyes, but it was just a flash, and I couldn't catch it at all.When he was fully awake, the first thing he did after opening his eyes was to check on the situation of Jun Changye beside him, but unexpectedly, he found nothing.

But in front of him, there was a pitch-black eternal night, and he didn't know if it was the night of the deep sea, or...he really couldn't see.

It wasn't until he heard Jun Changye's deep voice from above, and the ripples from his palms gently brushing across his cheeks, that Yue Qingchen felt that most of the chilling fear in his heart dissipated, and the thoughts that emerged in his mind The first thought turned out to be:

Fortunately, he is still here.

It was as if he had lost the person in front of him countless times, but when he woke up after a long nightmare, he suddenly found that he was right in front of him, never leaving.

Because Yue Qingchen didn't respond for a long time, when Jun Changye stared at him again, his expression changed subtly, and his right hand quietly pressed the knife at his waist.But at this moment, he heard people around him say:

"When I stabbed you with the sword earlier, why didn't you hide?"

When Yue Qingchen asked this sentence, his eyes were closed again, and he used the usual tone, but it implied something different, like a pot of ice water that was forcibly cooled after boiling.

Jun Changye was slightly taken aback, and the hand holding the knife unconsciously relaxed.He lowered his eyelashes, thought for a while, and then replied:

"If I hide, with the wise plan of the puppet master, I will probably lead the Frost Cold Sword to Qu Liulan, and they will think that you killed him. I... understand that you don't want to have anything to do with the demons, So I don't want you to be misunderstood."

As he said, he gently put the knife aside, half knelt down, and couldn't help but want to bow his head to kiss Yue Qingchen's eyes.But it didn't feel right when it was halfway down, so I had to immediately raise my head and look elsewhere, my chest was suffocated suddenly, and some severe pain came again, almost to the point of tears.

It turned out that this was really not a dream.

But he is also real, and he can no longer belong to me.

It turns out that this is the end.

"Then you haven't thought that he may have another trick, have you never thought that you might die?"

Yue Qingchen still kept his eyes closed, and his tone was even calm to a peaceful level, as if no matter what kind of answer he could shake him.In fact, Jun Changye knew that it was impossible for him not to see that key point, and he didn't expect to get any special answer from himself, so he couldn't help but smiled slightly:

"It doesn't matter if I die. If I continue to live like this, in fact... I might as well die."

Today's Yue Qingchen seemed to be extra patient, and actually asked a question:

"why?"

Jun Changye then continued to answer: "I can't be a god, I can't be a bliss, and I don't want to be a disaster that will last for thousands of years. What do I need to live so long? What's more, as long as I live in this world for a day, Master will be happy." There will never be peace..."

When he said this, seeing Yue Qingchen frowned, and felt a sudden pain in his heart, he simply closed his eyes and finished the rest of the sentence in one breath: "The never-ending day I said does not refer to blood and blood. You and My mother's life is far better than mine. She left this world. You should be sadder than anyone else. How can I blame you? Although Cang Jue and I are father and son, after all, we have never met him On the one hand, even if he was killed by you, how could you and I have such deep hatred?

As for what I'm talking about, it really doesn't matter, anyway, after today, it should cease to exist. "

As he said, Jun Changye took out a small bottle from his arms. The body of the bottle was fine and shiny, and it should have been rubbed repeatedly.He stared at Yue Qingchen without blinking for a moment, then lowered his head again, and carefully opened the seal.

"Back then, Master Tuoning made two bottles of Qianchen, one bottle was given to my father, and the other bottle was kept for myself. They agreed to go back and drink the wine, so they made a clean break. But her own bottle should not I didn’t drink it, when I found it from the tomb, it was still unopened. Today, I ask Master to be a witness, let me taste this Wangyou wine, what is it like.”

It is said that this kind of wine can make people forget their sorrows and joys, and all the pains and joys that I want to forget and don't want to forget are all related to you.

Just use it... to end it.
