Self-denial System [Rebirth]

Xu Mu waited for a day, tossing and turning like sitting on pins and needles.It was not until the afternoon of the second day that there was a slight sound at the door.

Xu Mu quickly turned over and sat up from the bed.

Hearing the sound of footsteps getting closer, someone untied the black cloth in front of him.

Xu Mu wanted to cry again, so he blinked his eyes slightly to absorb the tears, and then raised his head.I saw that the person in front of him didn't look at him, but lowered his head and untied one end of the chain from the edge of the bed, wound it twice, and wrapped it tightly around his wrist.

Gu Jingyin's actions were extremely careful, as if he was admiring a handicraft that he cherished extremely.

Xu Mu stared at him in a daze, and found that his eyes were still as beautiful as when he was a child, and the two rows of black and thick eyelashes fluttered slightly.After looking at it for a while, I suddenly felt that the expression on this face seemed to be the same as it was many years ago, cautious, prudent, and pious.

Just looking down, the hands under this face are not doing anything pious.

Gu Jingyin got up and put away the chain on his right wrist.Xu Mu was pulled to stagger a step forward.

Gu Jingyin turned around and walked towards the door, tightening the chain a little more.Xu Mu was pulled by the chain and almost bumped into his back, and hurriedly stopped in time just before he gnawed on his shoulder.

Gu Jingyin turned around, looked at him dodging in a hurry, with a gloomy look in his eyes, and said slowly: "Brother still hates touching me?"

Xu Mu was taken aback when he heard the words, he didn't expect him to think of this level.

Brother!I don't hate you!I am afraid of you!afraid of you!understand?

"In the past, you didn't even want to touch me with the corner of your clothes, but now?" Gu Jingyin quickly wrapped the chain around his hands a few more times, and pulled Xu Mu tightly in front of him.

Xu Mu looked at his unimaginable behavior with some shock, and didn't know what to say.

Suddenly, Gu Jingyin wrapped his arms around his waist from behind, and held his body tightly into his arms, his chest was tightly pressed against each other, and the two beating hearts seemed to be separated only by a layer of tulle.

Xu Mu was quite frightened by this action, and raised his head to look at him.

"The more senior brother wants to stay away from me, I will not do what you want." Gu Jingyin leaned over and whispered in his ear.The voice was still low, but every word seemed to have a hint of revenge.

Xu Mu broke down and said: In order to get revenge, I have to do everything the other way around?Would you rather be awkward with yourself and not care?In the next word, serve!

※※※

Wuqiling in the early spring is still very cold and frosty; the vegetation is dry and lifeless.

Accompanying them were several disciples of Fu Yun. Along the way, they were all silent and the atmosphere was strange.

Xu Mu seemed to want to ease the atmosphere that was so cold that it was about to freeze, so he broke the silence first, and asked, "Have all the evil spirits under the mountain been wiped out?"

Several disciples showed strange expressions when they heard the words, and looked at each other in blank dismay.Gu Jingyin glanced at them, turned around and said, "Brother, those ghosts you summoned are extremely fierce, we are not their opponents."

Xu Mu thought to himself: Do you really not believe me or pretend not to believe me?I have used side-by-side spells several times in front of you, but you can't wrong me like this!

And that Su Boling was still the object of our mutual suspicion!Why don't you question him?On the contrary, in the past few years, they have joined the ranks of the famous and decent families with him, and they have fought very fiercely.

never mind!No matter!Anyway, Lao Tzu is already too dark to be white now, so it's up to you to think about it.When I find a chance today to escape the golden cicada, I will be allowed to be free, and no one will be able to control me anymore!I don't care about you messy fights!Let you go!

"Then under Wu Qiling, have you found other evil things?" Xu Mu saw that the last topic could not be continued, so he changed it in time.

"What? Could it be that senior brother thinks that the ghosts are not enough to kill our disciples to relieve their hatred, and they need to summon other evil spirits?" Gu Jingyin stopped, turned and looked at him.

"..."

Can we still have a pleasant conversation?

So Xu Mu practiced the principle of "silence is golden" again, and the group of people returned to the state of silence, just walking with their heads buried.

The days in early spring are very short, and after a while, the sky gradually darkened.

The mountain wind was blowing, chilling to the bone, and the dry branches and trees around made a rustling sound in the evening wind.

At this moment, suddenly there was a howl not far in front, and some faint green lights appeared.Like a will-o'-the-wisp in the wilderness, and like the eyes of a lone wolf in the desert.

Several disciples instantly became vigilant, turned around and said, "Master, there seems to be something ahead."

When Xu Mu heard this, he immediately cheered up, raised his head and looked in the direction of the will-o'-the-wisp, thinking that this should be the Blazing Arrow Demon that the system said.

After a while, there were more and more green will-o'-the-wisps around, appearing as if slowly emerging from the water.Circle by circle, layer by layer, densely packed, tightly enveloping several people.

"Master! What should I do! What are these?" All the disciples drew their swords one after another.

"These are the eyes of the Blazing Arrow Demon. There are at least a hundred of them. You must be careful, they will shoot out poisonous arrows from their mouths. Those who fall into them will die within a quarter of an hour, and will be covered in blood. It's as severe as scorching," Xu Mu replied.

Several people's faces changed when they heard the words, all of them were pale, and they stepped forward cautiously holding their swords.

In this way, everyone walked forward a few steps tremblingly.Suddenly, there was a shrill howl, and then a figure as nimble and huge as a cheetah rushed towards them.

Gu Jingyin raised his hand and a flash of red light flashed, and it was about to strike at the head of the Fierce Demon. The beast's head, with its fangs and claws, burst in the red light and landed on the ground.

This sound seemed to arouse the viciousness of the other Blazing Arrow Demons, and they all rushed forward.For a moment, hundreds of Blazing Arrow Demons rushed towards them fiercely like a flood that burst a bank.

Almost at the same time, the arrows with raging flames came over the sky and covered the sky, densely packed, like a grand fire rain.

Seeing this, Gu Jingyin didn't have time to think about it, so he turned around and stopped Xu Mu behind him.

Xu Mu was a little speechless looking at this action, but felt that she was like a weak woman with no strength to restrain her, and she had to be protected by her boyfriend.

If you are really humane, you can untie the chains for me!Are you so afraid of me running away?Don't want me to die yet?Are you going to keep it for a good torture?

Gu Jingyin threw out his saber, let the long sword fight against the rockets in the sky, and freed up his hands to deal with the blazing arrow demon who surrounded several people on the ground.

The light of several people's spiritual power intertwined together, it was very lively, and the red and white lights exploded one after another.After a while, the number of Blazing Arrow Demons was reduced by half.Seeing that the situation was unfavorable, the remaining Blazing Arrow Demons also gradually retreated.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they saw this, Gu Jingyin stretched out his hand to recall his saber, put it back behind his back, turned around and said, "Brother, are you all right?"

This sentence seems to be asked subconsciously involuntarily.As soon as the words fell, several people were startled.

"It's okay." Xu Mu smiled at him.

Looking at this smile, Gu Jingyin was stunned for a moment.He hurriedly looked back, and put on a cold look again: "Since there is nothing wrong, let's continue on our way."

Everyone followed, and Xu Mu had no choice but to regroup and follow.

"System, didn't you say that his life is in danger? Where is it? How can I block him if there is no danger?"

[Don't worry, right now. 】

"Right now?" Xu Mu was dubious.

【right. 】

Xu Mu had no choice but to shake his head and move on.

After another incense stick of time, they walked to the edge of a steep cliff, and suddenly there was a strange noise in the grass behind them, making Xixi rustle.

Several people turned their heads to look at the sound.

I saw a blazing arrow demon crawling in the dry grass, suddenly opened its ferocious mouth, and shot out several arrows with sparks from the mouth, heading straight for Gu Jingyin's back heart.

"Master! Be careful!" several disciples panicked.

But before Gu Jingyin turned around, he felt someone approaching from behind.

Gu Jingyin turned around quickly.The next moment, what came into sight was a shocking amount of blood—the white shirt of the person behind him was smeared with bright red blood, and a few arrows with burning sparks were faintly protruding from his shirt.

The calmness in Gu Jingyin's eyes was washed away at this moment, replaced by shock.With a wave of his hand, he slapped the blazing demon off the cliff, and hurried forward to put his arms around the person in front of him, calling out: "Senior brother!"

It was only then that Xu Mu truly realized the power of the Blazing Arrow Demon.I just felt like my whole body was on fire, the soles of my feet felt weak, I staggered, and my body slid down.

Seeing his appearance, Gu Jingyin's eyes trembled, and he half knelt down, his voice trembling uncontrollably: "Senior brother!"

Xu Muxin said that you always tell me what to do!Don't you know that people like to be quiet when they are in pain?

"Senior brother, why did you do this... Why did you not use your sword to block... Why did you use your body to block..." In almost a short moment, Gu Jingyin lost all his composure and indifference.His breath was unsteady and his tone was flustered.

He didn't want to do this, didn't want to repeat the same mistakes, and didn't dare to bear parting anymore.

Xu Mu raised his head and looked at his appearance.Suddenly, he thought of that young man who couldn't even speak in front of him many years ago——

The boy who was so thin that he was trembling in his arms, the boy who promised in his heart to take care of him and see him grow up safely.

Xu Mu was in a daze.

——It would be great if nothing had changed.

Wait until I finish this last thing - die in front of him.At that time, he will completely relieve his hatred and feel at ease.

From now on in this world, he is truly free from worries.

Didn't he fulfill the oath he secretly swore many years ago?

Thinking of this, Xu Mu opened his mouth slightly: "I know you hate me. Are you satisfied with this ending?" Before he could finish his sentence, the blood gushing out of his mouth almost choked him.

Gu Jingyin's eyes widened instantly.

He looked at the man covered in blood in his arms, but couldn't figure it out.

Why, why is this happening.Didn't senior brother always want to leave himself, the farther away the better?Then why at that moment just now, like before, without even thinking about it, he stepped forward to block something that would hurt him.

Suddenly, I recalled many years ago when my senior brother held me in his arms and said to myself, "From now on, senior brother will take good care of you."

——Take good care of you and block all the pain for you.

Gu Jingyin shook his hand violently, "I don't hate you...I don't hate you at all...Brother, I was wrong, I shouldn't have treated you like that, I shouldn't have done that, I'm just afraid Senior brother will leave me again...Senior brother...please...don't leave me alone..."

However, Xu Mu was completely unaware of this scene.Not only can't see, but also can't hear, the roar of burning fire can be heard in the ears, and the flames are raging in front of the eyes, as if the whole person is about to be torn apart.

No way, the time is up for a quarter of an hour!At that time, my body will immediately become hot and scorched black, extremely frightening.

"Jing Yin... can you untie it for me..." The corner of Xu Mu's mouth turned red again.

"Okay, okay, let's untie..." Gu Jingyin hurriedly went to untie his chain.

Holding on to the last bit of strength, Xu Mu took off a bracelet from the depths of his sleeve and stuffed it in Gu Jingyin's hand, "Here, here you are..."

Gu Jingyin lowered his head to look at the bracelet, even though his vision was blurred by tears, he still saw it clearly - his name was deeply engraved in the crystal white jade.

At this moment, Xu Mu suddenly pushed him with all his strength, and stood up enduring the severe pain.

"Brother..." Gu Jingyin hurriedly stood up to help him.

Xu Mu took a step back towards the cliff before his sight was completely engulfed by the raging fire, forced a slightly miserable smile, and said in a low voice, "Remember what I look like now..."

The next moment, these words drifted into the cold evening wind along with his falling body.
