After the master's ascension

What exactly can time do?It can turn the vicissitudes of life into mulberry fields, and turn the wounds in the heart into thick old scabs.

After the virtual prison was unsealed, the long time has finally smoothed the gap between the two races of monsters, and the barrier has been crossed, and the gap has been flattened.

The human race finally got used to the return of their long-lost old neighbors, and the monster race could also find their own place in their homeland after thousands of years away.

They are like a mixture of oil and water, incompatible yet inclusive.

I can't remember how long it has passed, Rong Sheng's mansion has once again become the overlord of one side, and the idle king of the monster clan hangs around in Nanling all day long, and from time to time he is chased by the old but particularly agile emperor. street.

Now the situation in the realm of comprehension has changed drastically. After the decline of the Yao Pavilion, the name of the first sect has become a sweet pastry without an owner again, attracting countless hyenas to stare at it.

They fought over the name, and the three or two sects formed an alliance, and the names were obtained one by one, which made the serious casual cultivator alliance—the Xinxin League, look like a dishonest fake sect.

This actually gave Rong Sheng's mansion a chance to develop rapidly. When the opponents were exposing each other and cursing each other, their recruitment notices were posted one after another.

At the beginning, they also promised the conditions that they can afford the most at present - eating and drinking, practicing calligraphy and martial arts.

Although it may seem unattractive, this is already a promise they have made by tightening their belts.

Obviously, the effect was not very good, and it attracted some children who could not be supported by poor families, as well as some beggars.

Among the applicants, the most eye-catching one was a little girl dressed in rags.She didn't look very old, but her eyes were astonishingly bright. The Yaozu soldiers who were in charge of recruiting students were taken aback for a moment, and immediately released her to a logistics post.

Although the little girl was illiterate, the person in front of her was so brightly drawing circles on a paper with meals that even an idiot could understand.

She raised her eyebrows and said, "Didn't you say that you are recruiting soldiers from the battlefield? Why did you let me take care of the meals?"

Hey!The little girl has an idea...

The monster soldier was overjoyed. He put down his pen, leaned back, and said with a smile, "You know, we are recruiting soldiers to go to the battlefield, not crying little girls. It is very tolerant to let you take care of the meal."

As he said that, he was about to fold the ink-stained paper into the paper basket next to him.As a result, before the rice paper left the table, it was held down by a hand.

The little girl suppressed the watch that decided where to go, she raised her eyes, but her eyes were full of seriousness and stubbornness, the scorching eyes were more dazzling than the scorching sun.

"I don't need tolerance, I just need a chance."

"A chance to go to war."

In the end, that precious opportunity was still handed to her after she got down on the monster soldiers who were in charge of recruiting people.

Some people just need a little chance, like a plant that grows hard in a dry desert, and suddenly one day can enjoy abundant sunshine and rain, and she will grow into an unimaginable appearance.

A hundred households, a thousand households, generals, deputy generals, generals...

No one could have imagined that a little girl could stand out in a barracks crowded with rough guys.And the only preferential treatment she got was to have her own tent.

At first, she refused such "preferential treatment", but her superior persuaded her earnestly: "This is not to treat you preferentially, but to make the companions around you more comfortable."

"If you don't want to, you just don't obey the command. I have the right to put you in the kitchen to cook."

So the little girl could only reluctantly accept it, but this special case didn't last long - relying on her own strength, she climbed to the position where she could live alone.

Rong Sheng Changge had noticed this good seed a long time ago. After careful observation, he felt that this was a piece of rough jade that had not been polished, but he was willing to spend time and energy to let the little girl listen in while teaching Huang Qianyan.

When she first learned about this arrangement, the little girl's heart was full of waves. She didn't understand how she was favored by the people in charge of Rong Sheng's mansion, and she had such an opportunity...

It wasn't until she stayed in the private house of Rong Sheng Mansion for two days and saw many strange operations of the Demon King that she understood everything.

After the unreliable "Prince" not only failed to hand in his homework, but also secretly abducted the teacher to see the flowers, Gu Yin finally came to a conclusion indifferently.

I'm afraid I'm just a schoolboy accompanying a dandy prince.

As a result, she never expected that some bookboys would become emperors after she read them.

General Gu Yin had just finished inspecting the Nanling garrison, and she was still on her way back when she found out from others that she had become the person in charge of Nanling...

The prince was abducted by the demon king, and he said he was going to travel around the world, so he inexplicably shouldered the burden of being in charge of Rong Sheng's mansion.Her serious and reserved expression was completely shattered.

But even if the ducks are on the shelves, she has to clean up her emotions after faintly breaking down, and be the interim king of Nanling.

Thus, the change of office ceremony in Rong Sheng's mansion started again with great vigor.

……

And on a mountain road thousands of miles away from Nanling, a cart and horse were driving.Suddenly the flock of birds flew in fright, and there was a rustling sound of flapping wings.

A tense atmosphere suddenly fainted, the coachman slowly tightened the reins, he lowered the brim of his straw hat, and the corners of his lips curled into a tight arc.

A dozen or so people came out from the haystack in the dense forest next to them with their knives in their hands. They blocked the way forward with grim smiles. The leader with a beard and a big knife on his shoulder raised his voice, "Listen up, people in the car. Money doesn't kill. If you resist..."

He knocked on the back of the shiny big knife, the threat was self-evident.

On the stopped carriage, a hand painted with bright red Danko lightly supported the swaying curtain.

But before the two parties in the negotiation took any action, a question came from behind the group of people: "What will happen if you resist?"

The bearded man was startled by the sudden sound, he turned his head in horror, only to see a young man in coarse cloth quietly appearing behind them.

He folded his hands on his chest, raised his eyebrows and asked repeatedly: "I said... If you resist, what will you do?"

of course……

Before the bearded man waved the big knife in his hand and gave the little bastard a slap in the face, there was a rustling sound from the surrounding dense forest, as if something was sneaking close.

Everyone looked up, but they saw a pair of green animal pupils—about a dozen hungry wolves sneaked up from the wild forest and surrounded them.

Praying mantises catch cicadas, turtles in urns.

With a dizzying smell of blood, they showed their white fangs, and they looked like they were ready to go, ready to explode at any time and tear the throat of the person in front of them.

The bearded man trembled in fright, his calves trembled a little, and he didn't dare to let go of the knife arrogantly, but it slammed to the ground like a hot potato.

He struggled to squeeze out a smirk, and tremblingly said: "I just..."

"I'll jump from here!" The bearded man pointed at Gao Kan on the left and gritted his teeth.The right side of the mountain road here is a dense forest, while the left side is a high field ridge, and below it is a paddy field reclaimed by a nearby farm.

The young man glanced at Tian Kan with a half-smile on his face. He stared at the bearded man and nodded his chin.

This time I'm afraid it's kicking the iron board... But how can people not be stabbed when they are floating in the rivers and lakes?

The bearded man hesitated for a moment, but he closed his eyes and turned his heart, like a carrot jumping into a hole, and plunged into the paddy field.

The younger brother beside him has already been frightened by the vicious wolves around him, so he hopes that his elder brother will stand up and be the backbone.

As a result, the backbone instantly became the fastest mud radish, and they could only tremble and plunge into the mud one by one.

After the long-legged mud radish rolled down the field, Sa Yazi ran away.Looking at those fleeing figures, the young man let out a soft snort of disdain: "Tch——"

When he turned his head, he ordered in a loud voice: "Go to such a remote place, bring more people... Or, change to a more shabby car."

Before there was any reaction from the people in the car, he turned into a black wolf with shiny fur, and led the pack of wolves into the depths of the dense forest without a sound.

Fingers painted with bright red Danko slowly lowered the half-lifted car curtain.A calm and steady female voice came from inside the car: "Interesting..."

"Go on."

As a result, the young master of the black wolf tribe who did good deeds without leaving a name, always felt chilly behind when he crazily boasted about his heroic appearance in front of the people stationed there.

He followed his line of sight, but saw Ning Zhi's mother, who had just arrived to visit his daughter, always had a mysterious smile on his face, which made him a little guilty...

……

The days are so ordinary, it seems that everyone has got the peaceful hometown of their own.

Except for one person.

It took Lu Wangyu six years to re-measure his memory.

As he said, the white snow in Cangshan Mountain, the scorching sun in the west, the solitary smoke in the northern part of the country, the brocade flowers in the south of the Yangtze River... He traveled to every corner of the world he had been to, reviewing every memory repeatedly.

Waiting has become his daily life, and memory is the good medicine for his life.

At the beginning, although he never said it, he had to admit that in the most secret corner of his heart, there was an uncontrollable uneasiness.

Why hasn't the executive contract appeared? What happened to him?

Will he come back...

Lu Wangyu didn't dare to think about whether the farewell by the river at that time would be another comforting lie.Will that person hide all the consequences again, just to let him feel at ease to fight.

Could it be that what he thought he was solving the problem turned into a deeper sharp knife, hurting the person he cared about the most.

Just like Chengyang Peak's nine-fold thunder calamity that was resisted vigorously.

After two years of thinking like this, and two years of anxiety, he finally found the final answer and gained the deepest peace.

He thought, it doesn't matter, if he doesn't come back after fulfilling the contract, I will wait for him to come back, if he is gone, I will wait until I die.

After all, we will always be together.

During this long waiting time, he met the real Tu Fan who was recuperating, and also met his son who had traveled all over the world.

Without exception, they all sighed deeply when they saw the polite and alienated smile on the face of the young man in front of them.

It's time for you to come out.So they say.

Don't be trapped in memories, your future is still very long, all memories can be weathered in time, and all wounds can heal and scab.

Lu Wangyu just smiled faintly, and he just pushed the words back lightly.In this regard, he will always be the most proficient.

What they said is right, the deepest love will become a sand in the eye and a thorn in the flesh that cannot be taken away in a long time.

In the beginning, every minute, every second, every breath, you can feel the heart-piercing pain.

But over the years, when you think you have reconciled with it, you find that you are just used to it.

At that time, you were still in pain all the time, but you already felt that way.

Like a shadow, like a maggot attached to a bone.

Neither Daoist Tu Fan nor the prince could hear the truth from his mouth, until one day, he met Gu Chen who came to fetch Fusang wood on Haibozhitai.

It was just a simple greeting, and then they said goodbye to each other.

But before leaving, Gu Chen asked him a question.

"Are you still waiting for him?"

Lu Wangyu looked at the hibiscus wood in his hand, and thought of the familiar white silk he had just seen, he finally smiled from the bottom of his heart, his eyes clear.

"I've got a long, long time."

There is still a long, long time, enough to wait in this world, enough to wait for that person.

He thought that he would continue to wait day after day, as long as he clings to the memory of the past, he would have the motivation to continue walking.

He longs for the moon in the sky, if he can't get it, he just needs to scoop up a handful of water by the Jiangnan River every day to feed the fading moon shadow in his heart, even if he pretends to get it, he won't be lonely.

They have always been together, close or far away, never separated.

On the Lantern Festival of the seventh year, he returned to Yandu again.That huge and prosperous city seems to never experience the suffering of the world. It is always bustling, always noisy, and never silent.

Lu Wangyu will come back here every year during the Lantern Festival. This is his hometown. Although it is covered with some dark shadows, it is still a place where a tired traveler can settle down.

The gongs and drums are noisy, and the lanterns are lit.Everyone was rejoicing, and that kind of overflowing joy filled the cold winter banquet city with a layer of warm joy.

Every year, he follows the flow of people, wandering aimlessly through the streets and alleys, recalling the past, letting himself blend into the crowd, pretending to be happy.

It is the same now, he is like a young man in fine clothes, holding a lantern bought from a small stall in his hand, slowly wandering along the busy street with the crowd.

A girl beside her stopped in her tracks, grabbed her companion excitedly, and said excitedly, "Look, it's time to light the fireworks!"

Lu Wangyu was unmoved, he has never been interested in such things.But the next sentence stopped him in his tracks.

"I heard that if you make a wish at the moment when the fireworks bloom, as long as you are sincere, God will hear it and make it come true!"

God can hear it?Lu Wangyu was inexplicably unable to move forward.

He has never believed in fate or heaven, but only in himself.But his life, his sky is that person, so he is willing to become the most devout believer.

Lu Wangyu turned his head quietly, and sure enough, a spot of light rose from the ground and entered the Milky Way.

The shining light spots shook down the stars, and a bright rain of fireworks fell on the sky.

At that moment, Lu Wangyu silently and piously made his wish in his heart, like a monk who knelt in front of the Buddha statue and practiced painstakingly for a thousand years, he was sincere and did not dare to speak falsely.

"I want to see him."

He repeated it silently in his heart.

I want to see you.

The rain of fireworks in the sky fell into his eyes, and all of them flowed into the bottom of his heart.The young man who stopped on the bustling street finally swallowed all the tears in his eyes.

He laughed at himself, laughed at his obsession, and laughed at his wishful thinking.

Lu Wangyu turned around and was about to leave, but all his movements were frozen in an instant...

In an instant, he seemed to be unable to hear the noisy gongs and drums, the laughter of pedestrians, and the sound of the wind.

His heartbeat seemed to slow down, as if he was expecting something, but afraid of disturbing something.

The fine dust danced lightly in the moonlight light, little by little, like the starlight in the sky, and also like the sporadic water in Lu Wangyu's eyes.

Once, during the Lantern Festival Lantern Festival in Yandu that year, they were so close, but they still missed it when they looked back.

Now, Lu Wangyu finally saw his whole world in that looking back.

It's not the rain of fireworks all over the sky, not the bright lanterns all over the street, but the moon in his sky and the cinnabar in his heart.

The seven-year long-cherished wish finally came true again.

The familiar figure stood in front of him, within his reach.The young man in white quietly held the same lamp, his eyes fell from the fireworks in the sky to the person in front of him.

"Senior brother, I'm back."

Lu Wangyu laughed, the stars in his eyes were shining, it was a really relaxed smile.His Adam's apple rolled up and down, but he still couldn't say anything easily.

"Welcome home."

He walked forward step by step, like the last prostration of a pilgrim, focused and pious.

"I don't have many things in my life." Lu Wangyu smiled slowly, staring at the person in front of him, and said slowly, "There are even fewer people I like."

The last step, the dust settles.After endless years of waiting, he finally reached the end.

"You are not allowed to leave in the future, okay?"

Wei Zhiyue lowered his eyes to cover up the moisture in his eyes. He gently used the lantern in his hand to light the opposite lamp, as if secretly making a promise.

"Not leaving."

He added softly: "To be with senior brother forever."

How far is it forever, whether it is the vicissitudes of life, or the sea is dry and the rocks are rotten... But no one knows.

But no matter how long this period is, they love each other in company, are separated in times of crisis, and reunite in prosperous times, and they will inevitably die together in the long years.
