moonlit night

More than one person has said that Jun Changye looks very similar to Su Xihe.But in the past, when everyone said it, Jun Changye could see suspicion, disgust, fear, or other emotions like poisonous snakes disgusting people from their tone or eyes.

But this man is different.When he was talking, he just squinted his eyes and looked at Jun Changye's appearance carefully, as if looking at a very good old friend through Jun Changye's face and eyes.

Although he and Su Xihe were never friends.

Perhaps, this is what people say when they are about to die.

But soon, Luo Mingchuan looked away from Jun Changye's face, and turned to Ning Yuanmei again.He sighed softly, and said to the woman whose face was full of tears again: "In recent years, Biluo has often had nightmares, often fell asleep and fell asleep, and would call 'Sister' in her dreams. Mu Qingping, when you How could you be so cruel that you were willing to leave her alone in that ruined temple?"

"Back then..." Ning Yuanmei tried hard to make her voice sound less vulnerable, "Back then, we were surrounded by ghosts, and there were bones and burned houses everywhere. The fire seemed to be burned from hell. I He Luoer, under the desperate protection of the people around him, finally broke through the blockade of the ghost soldiers. But he didn't run very far, but was caught up again, so he had to find a nearby ruined temple and let us hide in."

At that time, Mu Qingping only hated herself for being lowly cultivated, not only for not being able to protect the people around her well, but also for making them sacrifice their lives for her.At that time, Biluo was between a child and a young girl, but in Mu Qingping's eyes, she was just a child who hadn't grown up.The elder sister said that it would be much safer to run to the depths of the temple, so she kept holding her elder sister's hand and followed Qingping, trembling with fear and not crying, for fear that she would get separated from her elder sister, or that her elder sister would find her annoying and not want her.

Finally, they found a gold-painted Buddha statue in the deepest part of the temple, and the inside had been hollowed out.Mu Qingping first carried Biluo into the hole, then found a pile of hay and firewood from the side, carried it over and blocked the hole tightly, but stayed outside, and slowly slid down with his back against the Buddha statue.

Luo'er yelled anxiously inside, "Sister, it's dangerous outside, come in quickly", and at the same time stretched out her hands desperately out of the haystack, trying to find out where she was.But Mu Qingping knew that the space inside was too small to accommodate himself and Luo'er.What's more, the ghost soldiers will find here soon, so she can't go in.She wants to stay outside and find a way out for her snails.

Behind him, Biluo in the Buddha statue kept shouting "Sister, where are you", and the little hand was still shaking around anxiously, Mu Qingping raised his hand to hold it, and wrapped it tightly in his palm , It feels like there is cold and slippery cold sweat on it.

The fire outside was still burning, and those fighting and dying cries of despair seemed to never end.

In the end, nowhere is safe.

Mu Qingping let go suddenly, and flung that soft little hand aside.She even heard the sound of it hitting the golden statue, but she still closed her eyes cruelly, letting out heartless words one after another:

"It's all you! If it weren't for them to take care of you, if you weren't for dragging me down, I would have returned to Xizhou by now, why would I need to wait here to die!"

"Sister," Biluo's voice finally trembled, because the hole was blocked, she seemed a little dull, but her crying became more and more obvious, as if there was an echo, "Sister, Luo'er is afraid, don't want Luo'er Son."

She still cried, Mu Qingping thought, she still loves to cry, just like when she was a child.

But almost at the same time, she also felt cold tears splashing on the back of her hand like rain.

"Sister, sister, talk!" Biluo's crying became louder and louder, she even started to slap the inner wall of the Buddha statue, making a rapid and muffled "dongdong" sound like drumbeats, shaking the whole ground She was trembling, "Sister, let me go out, don't want Luoer! Sister, Sister Qingping, whether you live or die today, whether you live or die, Luo'er will be with you!"

No matter life or death, I will be with you and never be apart.

"Who wants to die with you?"

The drum beat stopped for a moment, and then there was a more rapid beating, and the crying was hysterical, as if he had a premonition and tried his best to stop Mu Qingping from saying what he was about to say next.

But it's useless, it's useless.

"Listen to me, Mu Biluo, from the Mu family, Second Miss." Mu Qingping propped one hand on the gold body of the Buddha statue's pink paint, while the other hand hung down beside her, her red nails stained with cinnabar were deeply embedded in her palm , as if the more it hurts like this, the more it can cover up the tearing pain in my heart.

She spoke quickly, but her words were clear and clear: "From the very beginning, you should not have been born in this world. Without you, my mother would not have died. Your existence will only bring endless joy to others." Trouble. To tell you the truth, I’m tired of you being around me all day long, and I hate you for taking my mother away! So, get as far away as possible, I don’t want to see you again!”

The drumming stopped, and so did the crying, and the surroundings suddenly became unbelievably quiet, as if there were no living creatures at all.

After yelling out the last sentence, Mu Qingping lost a few pounds of strength, as if he had been in the water.She hugged her body and squatted down, letting the tears slide down her cheeks silently but violently, but she kept praying in her heart, praying for the blessing of the gods and Buddhas in the sky, so that her conch could survive.

Luo'er is still so young, she hasn't found someone she loves and loves her.Her kitten has just become a mother and is still waiting for her to go back to take care of it. How can she die?

After a while, Mu Qingping stood up, took out all the remaining obscuration powder in the spirit ring, and sprinkled it around the Buddha statue.This medicinal powder is colorless and odorless, but it can cover up whereabouts. As long as Luo'er stays inside the Buddha statue obediently, even if ghosts break in, they won't find her there.

After doing all this, she turned back to the Buddha statue again, and heard no crying inside, guessing that the sleeping powder that had been pierced into Biluo's wrist with a silver needle earlier had played a role, and said: "I'm leaving, you stay Here, let's part, don't follow me."

There was still silence in the air, and there was no response.

She said softly again: "When you wake up, don't cry anymore. If you cry with makeup, it won't look good."

After finishing speaking, Mu Qingping didn't look back.Holding the fiery red skirt of her wedding dress, she walked out of the ruined temple step by step, towards her intended ending.

"I am the eldest lady of Xizhou Mu's family." She said loudly, her red dress fluttered like a warrior's proudest cloak, fluttering in the hot wind, "Aren't you going to catch me? Come on!"

All the ghost soldiers stopped their slashing movements, and in the next moment, they rushed towards the place where the red dress was fleeing like a white tide covering the sky.

That is the diametrically opposite direction from the ruined temple.

But some skeletons stopped because they heard a slight rubbing sound.

Biluo crawled out desperately, her body was numb and unable to move, so she could only move forward with the support of her hands.Ten fingernails were worn off at the same time, and two shocking bloodstains were drawn on the ground.

"Sister, sister," her voice was so weak that it could hardly be heard, "don't leave me, don't leave me alone. Please, Luoer, please, don't go. Don't go,"

If Luo Mingchuan had come earlier, she would still be broken but still alive.

Unfortunately, he was late.

"There are no gods and Buddhas in this world." Ning Yuanmei's eyes were red, and the tears of half his life seemed to be shed within a day, "Otherwise, why did I pray for so long, but he didn't show up, didn't come to save me Sister? If Lian Buddha is indifferent to the suffering in the world, then what is the use of worshiping them? What is the use?!"

"Hahahaha, well said." Luo Mingchuan laughed loudly, with bright red blood continuously winding down from his mouth.He ignored it, raised his finger to the sky again, and shouted hoarsely, as if he was shouting to the sky: "Zhaoya, did you hear that? Is this the surrender of all beings you want? Do you think that you destroyed the Tongtian Tower and blocked the way for mortals? The road to the fairy world, kill all those who try to challenge you, and destroy the eyes of everyone in the world? Delusion! Heaven... Heaven is watching you, and we are all watching you from below! Cough... Keke..."

At the end, Luo Mingchuan was so painful that he bowed his body, Ning Yuanmei stepped forward again to give him a few injections, but when he went to check his pulse again, there was a moment of silence, and he shook his head, indicating that even she was helpless .

"It's okay." Luo Mingchuan raised his hand tremblingly, trying to push her away, "I've lived long enough, it's not a pity to die. Biluo is in Xizhou, you go and save...save her."

Ning Yuanmei's eyes were still red, but there was a sudden ruthlessness in them: "You said before that it was Zhaoya who made Luo'er become like that, is it true?"

"Yes," Luo Mingchuan spat out a mouthful of blood, and said in a hateful voice, "In the chaotic world of ghosts back then, if he hadn't helped Lord Underworld behind his back, how could he have fought for so long? We were all selected by him in various ways. , at the right time to give to the Lord of the Underworld. We are all his pawns, I am, you are, and Biluo is also, so when the Qin Sage came here to restart the Tongtian Tower and kill the Immortal Realm to settle the accounts with Zhaoya, I just wish I could start it faster. It's a pity that even she failed in the end."

At this moment, Jun Changye, who had been silent for a long time, finally took a step forward: "You kept saying, what happened when Qin Shengzun wanted to restart the Tongtian Tower?"

"You don't know?" Luo Mingchuan raised his eyes to look at him, seemed a little puzzled, but then relieved, "That's right, I'm afraid she didn't tell anyone about this except Mr. Not sure."

After finishing speaking, the direction of his finger changed, pointing to the altar that Yue Qingchen saw in the square before, and he spoke again:

"This place...you call it the Xuanwu Tomb, but in fact, it is far-fetched to say it is...the place where Emperor Xuanwu fell ten thousand years ago. The Tongtian Pagoda ten thousand years ago...connected the human world and the fairy world, among them... There are ninety-nine thousand... nine hundred and ninety-nine hundred and ninety-nine heaven-reaching steps, all of which are carried on the back of the Xuanwu Emperor. Anyone who successfully survives the thunder disaster and becomes a fairy... needs to pass through these more than 99 heaven-reaching steps in order to Can ascend to heaven.

Ten thousand years ago, at the seaside of Bliss, Zhaoya...beheaded Emperor Xuanwu with his own hands, and destroyed the base of Tongtian Pagoda leading to the human world...all of them were destroyed, leaving only this place.This place... is divided into three layers: heaven, earth, and human. The human layer has been hollowed out by Qin Shengzun before his fall, and his coffin and some things left to future generations are placed there.Demon Lord...should have opened it before, right? "
