saint ruthless

48,

The Buddha said that those who embrace great love have no desires or desires, just because they have given up their karma, let go of their obsessions, and walk alone in the world.

The wick of the soul wick lasts forever.

People say that Guo Great Wall is a Buddha.

Guo Changcheng has a lot of worries in his heart, so many that he can go down the vast mountains and rivers and cross all sentient beings.Guo Changcheng also has very few concerns in his heart, so few that only one person is allowed to be safe and happy, and he is only with one person for life and death.

Thousands of years ago, Guo Xin tore off a corner of his soul to save Chu Jiang from the way of demons and save the world from suffering.

Thousands of years later, Chu Shuzhi sacrificed himself to thousands of ghosts, quelled the resentment of ghosts for thousands of years, and returned Guo Changcheng's love.

Guo Changcheng was not originally ruthless, but because one person became a Buddha, and because of the departure of that person, he returned to the seven emotions and six desires.

What is Buddha and what is human.

Suffering and happiness, good and evil, right and wrong, merit and demerit, what is the boundary.

How many things in the world seem to be distinct, but when you think about it carefully, they are intertwined, and they have never been explained clearly.

Guo Changcheng's eyes were pitch black, and there was the sound of howling wind in his ears. He flew out of the barrier and fell into a cold embrace.It was Chu Shuzhi's own bone puppet who caught him.

Guo Changcheng's face was still covered with a black cloth, and he lay quietly in the arms of the bones, looking docile and calm.The howling ghosts and flying sand and rocks not far away were restless for a while, and finally subsided gradually, only the faint fire and the crackling sound of flames continued.

After an unknown amount of time, Guo Changcheng heard a weak but clear crackling sound.

He found he could move.

He took off the black cloth over his eyes and stared blankly at the scene in front of him.

The huge enchantment like pale gold flowing water turned into golden fragments all over the sky, falling down in a rustle.The black mist in the enchantment has dissipated, and the ground is full of fire, and tens of thousands of warm white light clusters rise slowly from the fire.

The light clusters are like thousands of burning Kongming lanterns, slowly floating up to nine days, illuminating the night sky like a sky full of stars.

Those are the souls who have finally been freed from the millennium bondage.

Guo Changcheng stared blankly at the sky and muttered to himself: "Brother Chu, look, the souls have reincarnated, and your sins have finally been redeemed."

As he said that, he laughed, as if he was staring at his lover, his eyes were full of tenderness.

But the tears slid down his cheeks like broken threads.

Among the thousands of light clusters floating towards the sky, some small golden fragments floated leisurely towards Guo Changcheng.The fragments were smaller than other light clusters, like fireflies flying in the night sky, surrounding Guo Changcheng.

A few small fireflies lightly landed on his face, the corners of his eyes touched lightly, and then spread out, as if they were kissing his tears.

Guo Changcheng looked up at them and asked tremblingly, "Brother Chu, is that you..."

The fireflies flickered, like a river of stars, so light and erratic, they circled the Great Wall of Guo for a while, as if saying goodbye silently, and then scattered in twos and threes to the forest and the sky.

Guo Changcheng staggered after him, shouting in panic, "Brother Chu...Brother Chu! Don't go! Please, don't go!"

As soon as his injured foot went limp, he fell to the ground clumsily, and got up recklessly, stretching out his hands in vain, trying to hold the lithe fireflies one by one.

However, the fireflies just flickered away and never stopped for him.

Guo Changcheng fell heavily to the ground again. He couldn't stand up at all, so he could only drag himself with his arms and move forward with difficulty.

Tears blurred his vision, he gritted his teeth and called over and over again: "Don't go... Brother Chu... Brother Chu..."

Leaves hair with a soft touch.

A pair of bony legs stopped in front of him.

Guo Changcheng raised his head in embarrassment, and in front of him was the skull face that never expressed expression.Originally, where the master's beautiful peach blossom eyes were, there were only two dark holes. There was nothing there, but they seemed to be gazing at him tenderly.

Guo Changcheng stared at it blankly.

The white bone bent down, squatted halfway in front of him, stroked his head lightly like petting a small animal, then scraped his face with his thumb, bent his fingertips and pinched it twice.

"..."

An uncontrollable cry escaped.

Chu forgives it.Chu River.Are you, too cunning.

Guo Changcheng knelt on the ground, tremblingly held the cold hand caressing his face, and slowly pressed it to the left chest, which was so convulsed that he couldn't breathe.

Panting heavily, he curled up into a ball.

"Don't... love..."

The voice of the person kneeling on the ground trembled beyond words.

"I don't want any love..."

Guo Changcheng tightly clutched Bai Gu's hand, the pain in his chest was about to tear him apart.

"I only want you to come back... as long as you come back..."

The suppressed crying could no longer be restrained, Guo Changcheng curled up on the ground, and finally burst into tears like a helpless child.

49,

Suddenly, a few melodious birdsong came from nine days away. The sound was ethereal and pleasant, like mountains and flowing water, not like anything in the world.

In the dark night, there were three blue and white feathered blue birds with glowing bodies, flapping their wings, coming from the west.

The orange light behind Guo Changcheng's ear flashed, the light was so intense that it was like bright fireworks exploding all at once.

don't cry.

don't cry.

Countless gentle and distant voices came from all directions, and the voices seemed to be the voices of many people superimposed together. In the voices, there were old people with vicissitudes of life, and immature children, and there were deep and deep male voices. The sigh of a girl as crisp as a silver bell.

A drop of water fell from the heart lake, and ripples spread around.

Guo Changcheng knelt alone in the boundless world, but as the soft sighs entered his ears, the scene of meeting countless people in countless reincarnations flashed before his eyes.

In those encounters, he sometimes stood on the street lined with ancient teahouses and taverns, and then flashed in front of the sickbed in the farmhouse hut.

The protagonists in the picture are numerous and messy, people wear costumes of different dynasties and have different appearances, and he is among them.He even saw that he had countless different faces and different appearances, sometimes he was a schoolboy in the dust, sometimes he was a doctor carrying a medicine basket, and sometimes he was a simple farm boy.

That is the self in the cycle of reincarnation.

In countless flashbacks, he saw himself walking towards strangers. Most of those people had painful expressions, some were crying softly, and some were muttering for help.

He walked over, bent down, and held out his hand to them tenderly.

"Don't cry, let me help you."

There is an ancient legend recorded in the Shan Hai Jing, and it is 220 miles to the west.According to legend, there are three divine birds on the side of the Queen Mother of the West. The blue bird holds the jade, which repays the kindness of people and spreads the gospel.

When Shen Wei and Zhao Yunlan arrived in a hurry, they were stunned by the sight in front of them.

Three glowing blue birds hovered in the sky, and they uttered long and ethereal chirps, as if responding to the sound, countless small light spots gradually approached from the forest, from the sky, and from all directions.

Those are thousands of transparent birds, with flashing golden fireflies in their beaks, flying towards the light source on the ground.

The center of the light source is Guo Changcheng. The orange flame burning faintly on his body is just the soul-suppressing lamp carrying thousands of years of merit.

"Yunlan, what are those transparent birds?" Shen Wei murmured.

"That's probably the merits that Xiao Guo has accumulated for thousands of years but has never repaid."

Guo Changcheng has been doing the same thing and being the same kind of person for hundreds of generations, but he is unknown, has no shelter, and the underworld has never blessed him. People say that he is born with a weak life.

But thousands of merits have never disappeared, and Guo Changcheng has never been rewarded, perhaps because he really has nothing to ask for.

Thousands of years have passed, and the sea has changed.Except for all living beings, except for the vegetation, mountains and rivers, Guo Changcheng, as an ordinary person, his only wish is for Chu Shuzhi to be safe.

Guo Changcheng once reached out to thousands of people in reincarnation, and now thousands of birds return with the soul of his lover.

More and more birds brought fragmented little fireflies to Guo Changcheng. They flapped their wings and surrounded the little fireflies in the middle.

The originally erratic fireflies gradually gathered together, gathered together, and glowed with golden light.

The bone puppet standing beside Guo Changcheng looked solemnly at the place where the fireflies flickered as if he had been summoned by something.Its whole body also gradually glowed with the same golden light, and it suddenly turned into the original appearance of a single bone, rising from the ground, and floating into the golden light.

Zhao Yunlan took Shen Wei's hand, turned around and said, "Let's go, we probably don't need to be here anymore. Let's go outside and wait for them to come back."

Fifty,

Under the dazzling golden light, surrounded by thousands of birds, a figure gradually appeared.

Guo Changcheng was so blinded by the strong light that his eyes lost focus, and for a long time there was only a vast expanse of whiteness in front of him.When his vision gradually became clear, he found that the countless birds had disappeared, and the strong golden light around him had also dissipated.

Only the flames around the old temple were still burning, and the flames soared into the sky, illuminating the night sky.

A slender and tall figure walked towards him from the firelight.

Guo Changcheng felt that his breathing stopped at this moment.

Sword eyebrows, phoenix eyes, thin lips, a straight figure, and deserted black clothes.

On the man's sharp side face, thin golden patterns can still be vaguely seen, like blood vessels flowing under the skin, like vines, and like fireflies, with a strange light shining slightly.

Guo Changcheng watched the man approaching. He stepped over the gravel, over the tangled branches, through reincarnation, through life and death, and finally stood in front of him.

"Brother Chu...?"

If this is a dream, Guo Changcheng is willing to give everything in exchange for the continuation of this dream and not waking up again.

The man half-knelt down in front of him, his rough palm caressed his face, and the familiar and cold breath enveloped him.

"Well, it's me."

Guo Changcheng's lips moved, and tears poured down like rain.He thought that from now on, he would never be able to hear this voice again.

He knelt on the ground and stretched out his arms tremblingly to him, and the man hugged him tenderly.

The movements are gentle and cherished, like holding a fragile treasure.

"Brother Chu..."

"Ah."

"Brother Chu."

"I'm here."

Tears fell drop by drop on the ground, like shattered water splashes, fainting piece by piece.Guo Changcheng put his head on his chest, his voice was so choked up that he couldn't breathe, like a drowning man clinging to the driftwood in front of him, he clung to the man's skirt, not daring to let go.

Chu Shu's chin rested on his head, his eyes were extremely sore, he followed Guo Changcheng's back one by one, and when he was crying a little calmer, took his hand, put it on his chest, and said warmly . "Great Wall, listen up."

Plop, plop.

The beating came from the chest, one sound, steady and powerful.

Guo Changcheng raised his head tearfully, his eyes widened in disbelief.

"Brother Chu, you..."

you have a heartbeat...

Chu Shuzhi wiped his tears with his fingertips, and his fingertips carried warm body temperature, which was no longer as cold as before.

"It dances for you." Chu Shuzhi said with a smile.

Guo Changcheng looked at him stupidly, as if he didn't understand, tears were still falling down.

Chu Shuzhi held his face in his hands, slowly moved closer, and kissed the corner of his eyes, Guo Changcheng's eyelashes trembled with water vapor.

The soft kiss fell on the tip of his red nose again, on the side face full of tears, and finally all the way down, covering his soft lips.

Comforting pecks.His lips pressed against his, and then let go.Warm breath hit Guo Changcheng's face, Guo Changcheng opened his eyes wide in bewilderment, he really forgot to cry for a moment, he just shrunk subconsciously, his eyelashes trembled slightly, and the hand holding the man's skirt retracted. Tight, afraid that he would leave.

So Chu Shuzhi leaned forward again, wrapped his arms around his waist, pulled his chin with the other, and kissed him forcefully.The soft tongue opened his teeth, chasing and entangled with him, tossing and turning.

"Hmm..." Guo Changcheng snorted nasally, but he didn't push it away. The overwhelming emotions flooded him, his eyes filled with water, and salty tears slid down his cheeks into his mouth. Then he was kissed by that person.

Trembling, he climbed onto Chu Shuzhi's shoulder and let the man deepen the kiss.

When the two of them separated, their breathing was a little uneven.His eyes were blurred, and he remained silent for a while.

After a while, Guo Changcheng sniffed and said sullenly, "Brother Chu, did you tell me to stop falling in love with the first person you saw at first sight..."

Chu Shu was taken aback, then smiled, kissed the corner of his eyes, and said in a low voice: "Yeah, what should I do, I seem to have said something wrong."

Even though he asked like this, the hand around him didn't intend to let go at all, he looked like you can do nothing to me, very rascal.Guo Changcheng was overjoyed, his delicate eyebrows were frowned, and he cursed in a low voice: "You bastard...you are always like this. You always talk to yourself and never ask me if you want it."

"It's my fault, I'm an asshole."

Chu Shuzhi let him go and stared at him with his head down.

Guo Changcheng and the second generation handed over a heart to him, but he abandoned him again and again.He used to be too obsessed with revenge, which resulted in his tragic death.He fell into a demon again, which made him lose his love, and walked alone in the world for thousands of years.

He obviously only wanted Guo Changcheng to be happy and well, but it turned out that he was the one who made Guo Changcheng suffer the most.

Guo Great Wall has many blessings, but his only debt is Chu Shuzhi.

Hurt him like this, if time goes back and everything starts over again, maybe it's better to never meet each other, one difference between the two.

Originally, with his soul flying away, all the evil karma disappeared, but the child actually exchanged the merits of a hundred generations for him to return to the world.

He Chu Shuzhi is very selfish, he is a bastard, from now on, even if he goes against the heavens, breaks through the underworld, even if the mountains collapse and the rivers and seas are leveled, he doesn't want to let go of holding that person's hand again.

So he held Guo Changcheng's face in his hands, and his tone was solemn all his life.

"From now on, I won't leave again. Guo Changcheng, Guo Xin, do you still want me?"

Guo Changcheng's eyes were full of stars, he didn't answer, but smiled and rolled his eyes.

He closed his eyes, raised his head and carefully pressed the man's lips, sealing all the unspeakable love between the overlapping lips and teeth.

The sky is like ink, and the sky is full of fire.

The world of mortals is upside down and wandering, the mountains and rivers are lonely and precipitous. Fate once cruelly pushed them to the end of the mountain and river, but at the end of the long journey, they finally gave them a bright future.

I don't know if the sky is really ruthless.

end,

In Guo Changcheng's dream, a crabapple grows.Begonias took thousands of years to germinate and grow until they became lush.

Now the snow has finally fallen into white, and the snow-white petals are flying with the wind.

He dreamed that he was wearing a plain long gown and carrying a medicine basket, walking under a tree.Sitting on the top of the Begonia tree was a man wearing a heroic battle armor, brown boots, and wiping a long sword in his hand.

The brows reveal the calmness after going through the world, but also a free and easy heroism, the corners of the eyes and the brows are full of high spirits and arrogance.

That's what he was meant to be.

He walked under the tree, looked up and called him with a smile. "Brother Chu."

When the man saw him, the sharp expression in his eyes softened a little, he jumped down lightly, and landed firmly in front of him.He naturally took the medicine basket from him, slung it on his shoulder casually, took him with the other hand, and walked towards the small wooden house in the distance.

"walk home."

He bouncingly followed beside him, two figures walked side by side, one was as sharp as a sword, and the other was as warm as water.

The crabapple behind the back is silent, unchanged for thousands of years, swaying gently in the wind, like snow petals fluttering in the sky.

A quiet resort island in the south.

The evening breeze is slightly cool.The waves burst.

A tall fair-skinned young man was resting on a rocking chair by the sea, and the sea breeze lifted the broken hair on his forehead.

A small shadow fell over his head, and something icy and cool touched his cheeks.

The young man opened his eyes from his light sleep, and the man in front of him was holding a can of iced drink on his face.The man just put on a black vest casually, and the muscles on his shoulders and back were smooth.

"Go back to sleep, it's cold at night." The man's voice was flat and gentle.

Guo Changcheng hadn't fully woke up from the dream, he just looked up at him, the shadow of the tree cast a small shadow on Chu Shuzhi's face, his face was hazy but clear.

"What's wrong?" Chu Shuzhi touched his forehead.

Guo Changcheng slightly bent his eyes, smiled and stretched out his arms at him, pretending, "I can't walk."

Chu Shuzhi raised his eyebrows: "So lazy?"

Guo Changcheng grinned, his face flushed, he moved his sleep-stiffened body, and honestly wanted to get up from the chair.

The feet are lifted off the ground.The man wrapped his arms around his back and his knees with the other, picked him up, turned and walked towards the room.

"Satisfied?" The man asked with a smile on his lips.

Guo Changcheng's ears were a little red, and he looked around, but luckily there was no one around.So he wrapped around Chu Shuzhi's neck and buried his face in his arms.

"Yo, you still know how to be ashamed."

The person in his arms seemed to be unable to hang on his face, struggling to jump off.

"Okay, okay, I'm just joking." The man stopped teasing him, and kissed the hair of the person in his arms, and the person in his arms quieted down as expected, only showing a fair neck and red ears .

"Go back." The man said softly, holding him firmly and walking away.

...but there are easter eggs.

easter egg 1,

Dragon City thousands of miles away.

Zhao Yunlan closed the yellowed book of immortals and ghosts, and sighed faintly.

Shen Wei walked up to him, touched his neck, and asked softly, "What's wrong."

Zhao Yunlan frowned, with a bit of guilt on his face, and said: "Speaking of which, under the old temple, so many resentful souls have been imprisoned for thousands of years, and the Soul Rescue Order didn't find it. What the hell was I doing at that time?"

Shen Wei lowered his eyes, and comforted him: "Don't blame yourself too much, even the Soul Suppressing Order can't wipe out all the resentful souls in the world."

Zhao Yunlan said: "Besides, the reincarnation curse of the old temple was used too casually. If the spell was not too strong, the resentful souls would be trapped in the spell forever if they were not transcended, unable to reincarnate, and they would not accumulate. The resentment has not dissipated for a thousand years."

Shen Wei nodded: "That's right. That mantra seems to be self-contained, and it doesn't look like the right way. It should be created by some casual cultivator according to his temperament."

Zhao Yunlan was taken aback for a moment: "But speaking of it this way, why do I feel that the style of that curse is inexplicably familiar..."

That kind of random, wild, uninhibited style of writing, why do you feel... It seems vaguely...

The more Zhao Yunlan thought about it, the more wrong he became, and his face gradually turned green.Shen Wei beside him also seemed to be lost in thought, as if he was remembering something.

Zhao Yunlan asked dryly: "Xiaowei, you come to me every lifetime, so do you still remember where I was and what I was doing at the end of Liang Dynasty and the beginning of Wei Dynasty?"

Shen Wei was silent for a while, and said slowly: "It seems... In the 100 years of the end of Liang Dynasty and the beginning of Wei Dynasty, neither Daqing nor I have found you, and the soul-suppressing order also lost its owner for a while. Later, when I finally When I found you again, you were already a half-immortal who was over a hundred years old."

Zhao Yunlan: "..."

Shen Wei looked at him innocently: "..."

Zhao Yunlan coughed twice, picked up the phone and dialed a series of numbers. "Hey, Wang Zheng. How long is the leave of Lao Chu and Xiao Guo?"

"One month? Oh... no, I'm not asking them to come back early."

"Extend the vacation to one year. The salary is still paid. No...the salary is doubled. The people above have problems, let them come to me."

"What? Marriage leave can't be so long? Tsk, then you take maternity leave. Okay, that's it."

easter egg 2,

South Island.

into the night.Chu Shuzhi and Guo Changcheng sat on the terrace of the Seaview Hotel, enjoying the sea breeze, with a few bottles of beer crookedly placed beside them.

"Brother Chu..."

"Ok?"

"You have a heartbeat now, that is to say, will you, like us, have birth, old age, sickness and death, and enter reincarnation?"

"Ah."

Guo Changcheng listened to the sound of waves hitting the rocks, and there was a lighthouse in the distance.He suddenly felt sad. "Then in our next life, will we forget everything in this life..."

"Do you want to forget?"

"In no mood……"

"Then I'll find you."

"How did you find me?"

"My cultivation is actually still there. If you don't want to re-enter reincarnation, it's okay. If you don't want to forget, I'll go find you."

Guo Changcheng was silent for a while, then slowly shook his head. "……don't want."

"What's wrong."

"I don't want you to be the only one who remembers everything."

The man was silent for a while, then said softly: "...fool."

Guo Changcheng looked up at the stars in the sky, they were shining there from ancient times, watching the people on the ground tenderly.He muttered with emotion: "It would be great if I could also jump out of reincarnation..."

"You really want to?" Chu Shuzhi tilted his head to look at him.

Guo Changcheng nodded solemnly: "I think."

"No regrets?"

"I don't regret it....Why, is it really possible?!"

"Well, it's okay." Chu Shuzhi took a sip of beer and hesitated.

Guo Changcheng suddenly turned his head and looked at him expectantly. "What should I do? Brother Chu!"

"Just, practice and practice." Chu Shuzhi said vaguely.

A gleam of light flashed in Guo Changcheng's eyes, but after thinking about it, the light dimmed again.He hung his head in frustration and said, "You know...I'm so stupid..."

"I'll share some of your cultivation with you."

"Can the cultivation be divided? How?"

"Double cultivation."

"What is double cultivation?"

Chu Shuzhi raised his head and drank the rest of the wine, threw the jar casually, patted his body to stand up, and pulled him into the room. "You'll know right away."

Guo Changcheng staggered half expectantly and half doubtfully and was dragged in.It's so late, do you want to start practicing immediately?

The man just reached for his loose belt in silence.

"Hey, Brother Chu, why are you taking off my clothes?"

"Huh? Brother Chu? Huh?"

"Umm... ah... Chu, brother Chu... you... what are you doing?"

"Hmm!...um...light...light..."

Spring night in one room.
