Shen Yaolu

What is mine is always mine.

The wind is blowing and the flowers are falling, and the water on the lake is gently rippling.

Master Jiu looked at Chongyi with a strong smile in the corner of his eyes.

How do you know that your heart is locked here?

"The phoenix has guarded the heart lock since it was enlightened from chaos, so it naturally has a feeling for this heart lock."

That day at the Hundred Flowers Festival, I ran into Tianzun, and the aura of heart lock on Tianzun was heavier than that of phantom ghost.The heart lock can control the mind, and if it is used improperly, it will cause harm. Please also ask Tianzun to return the heart lock to Chongyi.

Master Jiu put away his smiling face, and rarely showed a serious expression. What did he say, God Lord Chiyan suspected that this deity would use this heart lock to harm the Three Realms?

Chongyi bowed his head, saying that Chongyi didn't dare.

"Hmph, the heart lock is indeed with this deity." Jiu Ye slowly put the chess pieces on the table into the box one by one.His tone was relaxed, but exuded an aura that made Chong Yi suffocate.

"The deity will not give it to you."

"Could it be that Tianzun also wants to mess around with phantom ghosts?"

"Nonsense?" Master Jiu smiled and said, Xiao Chongyi, do you feel that this deity is used to talking about gods and gods, and you don't regard this deity as your elder anymore?

Even though this deity looks down on the rules and regulations of the Three Realms, but this deity is Siwu Tianzun after all, his status and cultivation are much higher than yours, and it is not your turn to teach me how to do things!

Chong Yi was dumbfounded.

Seeing Chong Yi's troubled expression, Master Jiu sighed.He covered the chess box and said that although the deity likes to joke, the deity can assure you that this heart lock will not be used for evil things.

"Why did the phantom want to steal the heart lock, and why..."

"Why did you give it to the deity for safekeeping?"

Master Jiu nodded, Chong Yi paused, and then sat down.

Supporting his body with his hands, Master Jiu said, "Do you know the past life of Phantom?"

"...Know some."

"Then do you know what happened between him, his younger brother Nanyu, and the Li brothers?"

"I only know that he forced his younger brother to death, was sentenced to death by Li Dan, and returned his brother's heart."

"Yeah, I gave back his brother's heart..." Master Jiu lamented suddenly, it's not so easy to give back a heart.

Everything is born of the heart.Yes, it is the desire of the mind that makes it exist; nothing is the desire of the mind that makes it not.Even if he gave his own heart to him, if he wants to have a complete heart, he must gather the five spirits of faith, understanding, admiration, joy of mind, familiarity, and breaking obstacles.And a spirit needs 100 years of cultivation, and 500 years to get a complete heart.

500 years ago, he tried his best to break through the barriers of the ends of the earth to find me, begging me to give his brother a complete heart.He exchanged Wuji inner alchemy, and my heart was with Helan, so I agreed to him naturally.But I underestimated this phantom. He was afraid that I would change my mind midway, so he divided the Wuji inner alchemy into five parts. Every 100 years, I gave him one spirit, and he gave me one.This year marks the fifth 100 years.

Now I have found out where the last spiritual barrier is, but a human being is a mortal body, and the five spirits can't stick to the body just by gathering the five spirits. You can only lock the five spirits in the heart with your heart.

"So he stole the heart lock, and he was afraid that I would take it back, so he left it to you for safekeeping?" Chongyi sneered—what a phantom.

"For Helan's sake, I will not hand over my heart lock to you."

Silence dyed between them.

For a long time, Chong Yi seemed to be talking to himself.

Why should he do this?

In the past 500 years, his younger brother has been reincarnated for several generations.In this way, he will never remember that there is such a brother as Nanfeng in his lifetime, so why did he bother to do so much for him?

"I asked him too." Jiuye said, "He said he owed him this."

If there is only my heart and I cannot integrate with him, he will not be a complete person after many reincarnations. He does not understand love, does not understand human relations, knows right and wrong, and is just a fool.

It shouldn't be, it shouldn't be.

"It shouldn't be like this... Heh, in the final analysis, it is because of a word of love. Whether it is family affection, human affection, or love, he is reluctant to let go too much, so he can only push himself into a desperate situation."

He is loyal to Li Dan and treats each other wholeheartedly, but the emperor only loves his younger brother Nanyu, but Nanyu has a special liking for Prince Hong.Nanyu died for Li Hong, and Li Dan killed Nanfeng for Nanyu.Nanfeng didn't get any love, but gave back all of himself, and he couldn't rest in peace even after death.

Maybe he didn't even know why he did it.Is it for Li Dan, or for Nan Yu, or for himself.

If this person becomes stubborn, he will not change even if he dies.

The night sky seemed to have been splashed with thick ink, rendering the entire sky eloquently, and a sense of depression followed.

In the dream, there was a soft and pleasant voice, like a breeze in the ear, and I was intoxicated by every word.

Come on, tell me, what do you want?

Hehe, I will give you whatever you want.

I think……

The bell sounded leisurely, accompanied by the hazy night.

Cool night breeze.

Nanfeng walked alone in the cool and colorful night, shaking off the sadness and exhaustion all over his body, relaxed and comfortable - he had just created an illusion for the eldest son of Dushang's calligrapher and sucked his energy. I guess I'm crying.

Finally, the debt from a year ago was paid off.

He returned to the house, and as soon as he stood at the door, he felt that something was wrong.Looking up at the sky above the house, it was glowing with a slight red light, and my heart instantly became clear.

Again.

Sure enough, he opened the door and went in. The man in white was sitting at the table, lit the oil lamp, poured himself a cup of tea, and drank it leisurely.

I really don't think of myself as an outsider.

Seeing the south wind coming, Chongyi said, why did you come back so late?

Go out and hurt someone?

"Yes~" Sitting beside Chong Yi, Nan Feng reached for the teapot, but Chong Yi snatched it away.He was about to get angry, but Chong Yi filled his glass up.

Lord Shenjun is like this, but he wants to break me.

"Anyway, you have nothing to break."

"The god is joking."

"I'm here today, not to talk to you."

Nanfeng disdains, why, come to ask for a heart lock again?

Chongyi looked at him with that half-smile look, tenderness like water.

He said, I miss you.

"Huh?" Nan Feng was really stunned this time.

I have made this joke many times, and it is not funny at all when you say it, Lord Shenjun.

Chongyi's eyes were half closed, and he smiled at the corner of his mouth, saying that I am not so bored yet.

"I've been to the ends of the earth."

As soon as he said this, Nanfeng also understood what he meant, and was thinking about how to fool the matter of Xinsuo, so he heard Chongyi say, I will help you.

Eh?

"I'll help you." He repeated in a low voice, "I'll help you give back your brother's heart."

"Master Shenjun, even if it is a lie, it must be convincing."

"I didn't lie."

"Then why did the god help me?"

"I like it."

"Like it?" Nanfeng said with a barb in his words, what does the god like?

Do you like to be nosy or like to read jokes?

Chongyi was moody and unhappy, his brows were about to wrinkle.He looked at Nanfeng, wanted to say something, and opened his mouth, but couldn't say anything, so he could only smile miserably.

Alas, as expected, I am not qualified enough.

He suddenly changed the subject and said that the few peach blossoms you folded before, I have already planted in the outer sky, they are just things in the world, I don't know if they can live.

Nanfeng also looked at him suddenly for a long time, with some unknown emotions in the corners of his cold and habitual eyes.He turned his head and didn't look at Chong Yi, but said coldly, there's nothing pleasing about that thing, why does Lord Shenjun keep it.

"I don't want to please others, but I want to please you." Chongyi got up and said that I should go to bed earlier.

He walked out a few steps, stopped again, turned around and said to Nanfeng, the past events in the world, many troubles, I know you can't let go, I said before, I won't force you.

Also, when I say help you, I mean it sincerely.

Nanfeng didn't look at him.

He shook his head helplessly and turned off the light with a flick of his hand.Hearing only a "squeak", he had already left.

It was very quiet in the room.After a while, there was a voice—Nanfeng picked up the glass of water that Chongyi had poured for him, thought for a moment, and then put down the quilt again.

He couldn't help smiling bitterly——Nanfeng, Nanfeng, you were born as a human being, but people say you have a heart but don't understand love; when you die as a ghost, people ask you when you can treat others with sincerity.

I have no heart, so how can I be sincere?

but……

But that day when the flowers were swimming at night, he held a lantern in his hand and guessed riddles for me; he raised his hijab and made tender feelings for me with the flowers in the bridal chamber; he took a short rest by the river, and his words from the bottom of his heart taught me... Chongyi, Chongyi, you are so shrewd , Every move, every word and deed can hold my thoughts.

As you said, my phantom has nothing to break, so why do you want me to owe you?

I don't have to pay it back, and I can't afford it.

There was a crackling sound outside the window, it was rain.The window was open, and the rain that came in soaked the books on the table, but the south wind didn't care about them.

That night, he just sat there, not knowing what to think.

The four seasons of the year change alternately, which is a long time for people, but it is a flash for ghosts and ghosts.

It was already winter when the south wind came to Cuizhuju again.Snow fell all over the ground, and a layer of ice formed on the surface of the pool in Cuizhuju. It was clean and transparent, and the golden red carp in the water could be seen.

Nanfeng smiled and said, you ghost doctor, when did you raise the living things in the world?

Wang Shu glanced at him like that, and said that it was not your Red Flame God who destroyed my pool of fish spirits!

"Oh?" Before Nan Feng could ask carefully, he heard a loud shout from behind.

"Wang Shu! You are here!!!"

The person in front of him was a man with bright eyes and white teeth, fair skin, and a slender figure. He was a handsome man.When he came, he didn't care about Nan Feng's presence, and threw himself on Wang Shu without saying a word.Wang Shu frowned and scolded him loudly, telling him to behave.The man looked aggrieved, and muttered in a low voice, you were gentle with me before, why are you so fierce now.

Nan Feng looked at him carefully, and always felt that this man looked familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen him before.

The man noticed Nanfeng, was startled for a moment, then pointed to him and said, I have seen you, last time Wangshu took me to your house to deliver medicine.

last time?

The big-eyed, small-mouthed girl doll carved in jade suddenly flashed before Nanfeng's eyes.

Is it...

"It's that little scourge!" Sending the man off to find some firewood in the bamboo forest, Wang Shu began to complain to Nan Feng.He said that I thought the little doll was pitiful at first, and he was so cute. I thought he was a good man, and if I knew he was Prince Zhong, I would never save him.

"Prince Yuren Zhong?"

Oh, that's right, you picked him up on the South China Sea, right?This South China Sea is the land of sharks...

"He is the third son of the Lord of the South Sea."

The Lord of the South China Sea is the king of the sharks, and he has three sons named Xiaoyizhong.This loyal prince is his youngest son.Merman is different from ordinary people. The first 100 years of birth are in the form of children. They cannot see, cannot speak, and cannot leave the South China Sea.The loyal prince was naughty and sneaked to the shore, almost died, but fortunately Wang Shu rescued him.

It turned out to be better now, he just passed a hundred years old, he just happened to be an adult, and he only knows to pester me every day.

"It's because you were too kind to him before, and he fell in love with you." Nan Feng couldn't help laughing, thinking of making fun of him, he said that I really like you seeing Prince Zhong obeying your advice.

Anyway, if you don't like mortals and gods, and you don't want to deal with those ghosts in the underworld, you might as well become a couple with Prince Zhong, a merman, and you can be regarded as a companion.

"With him? He looks like a little white rabbit, he has no heart at all, and I don't have a habit of raising children."

Speaking of this, the loyal prince just came in with a stack of firewood.When Wang Shu saw what was in his hand, he became angry, pointed at him and said, "Why are you so brainy, why are you holding some wet wood?"

Prince Zhong thought that he thought the firewood was too damp to keep warm, so he kept saying that I would look for it again.Just about to go out, Wang Shu yelled, "Come back!"

Nan Feng propped his chin, looking at the two happy friends in front of him with a funny face.Wang Shu took the mink fur cloak and threw it to Prince Zhong, "Put it on! I'll take care of you if it gets cold!"

"Oh." Prince Zhong was aggrieved.

"Hahahaha, Prince Zhong, don't mind. This ghost doctor has a thin skin. He cares about you."

His eyes lit up instantly, Prince Zhong looked at Wang Shu, "Really?"

Wang Shu gritted his teeth, "Ghost..."

Nanfeng knew how much Wangshu was, so he said leisurely that you didn't give me the mink fur when I asked you for it, and you didn't want to wear it yourself, but now you put on the sable skin for Prince Zhong, don't you care? ?

"That's because the shark's body is cold. This place of the underworld is already full of yin, but now it's winter again. I'm afraid he will freeze."

"Look, you should still care!"

Prince Zhong was extremely moved when he heard what they said. He held Wang Shu's hands in his arms and said, Wang Shu, I know you are not a good talker, but don't worry, I am not a fickle person. I will treat you well and never leave you.

Wang Shu only felt the pain in his hands being held by the other party, and his head hurt even more.

Nan Feng smiled and shook his head, and lightly tapped the edge of the teacup, "Come on, Prince Zhong, don't drag him, he can't run away again. Drink some hot tea to warm up your body, lest you worry about Wang Shu when you get sick."

"Okay, okay!" Prince Zhong was still a child at heart, took the cup from Nanfeng's hand and drank it in a big gulp.Nanfeng's eyes were kind like a mother-in-law's looking at her son-in-law.

Wang Shu couldn't help shivering—I always feel that something is wrong today.

After teasing them for a while, Nanfeng came out from Cuizhuju.Before he left, he took a look at the bamboo house, and immediately felt that there was a bit of warmth in this cold winter.

Love words can also make people so nostalgic.

He couldn't help thinking of a person, a person who had warmed his cold body for many years and confused his thoughts.

On that day, there were candles in the bridal chamber.

Somehow, on the way back, I detoured to the river where the Hundred Flowers Festival was resting.The other waters were frozen, but the river flowed happily, but the trees on the bank were covered with snow, which made it look a bit desolate.

He suddenly remembered that he was sitting by the river with Chong Yi that night, he spoke softly, less the airs of a god, and more gentleness of a mortal.

You come to try the curtain man, and the half-hooked moon catches the clear stream.

Probe.

He couldn't help but lean on his chest.

...... Probe.

A familiar temperature suddenly came from the back of his hand, Nan Feng stepped back subconsciously, and bumped into a warm embrace.he turned around...

……you? ! !

The man was still smiling as usual, with gentleness between his brows and eyes.He clenched Nanfeng's hand and whispered in his ear, "But...you are thinking of me?"

"……no."

"Liar."

"...Since you know I'm lying, why ask me?"

"Are you angry?"

"No."

"A lie again."

The words, which were clearly arguing, seemed to be soaked in spring water, flowing along the eardrums and flowing into the body little by little, slowly and gently.

Yan Yan laughed at Yan Yan, Nanfeng said it was strange.

Lord Shenjun, why do you like to speak in this tone?

Chongyi put Nanfeng's hand on his chest, and asked with a smile, is this not good?

……it is good.

"I still have a lot of good things that you haven't discovered." He seemed very satisfied with Nan Feng's answer, and tightened his grip, "But there's no rush."

You will find out later.

Nan Feng stared at the hands he held with Chong Yi, and there was a beating sound coming from there.

is the heart.

Probe.

He raised his head to look at Chong Yi, snow fell on that man's head, his whole body in white seemed to blend in with the surroundings, and his eyes were picturesque.

"...Heh." He suddenly laughed, and with a skillful force he withdrew his hand, "Why did Lord Shenjun come here?"

"I passed by by chance, and thought of coming here with you that night, so I wanted to come and have a look."

What about you, why are you here?

Nan Feng turned to look at the river, and said lightly, it was also by chance.

"Oh?" He approached Nanfeng and said, but did he think of me by chance?

"Master Shenjun's jokes are getting less and less funny."

"Of course it's not funny." With a dozen golden and black fans in his hand, Chong Yi said that I was serious.

Nanfeng laughed loudly—Master Shenjun, fanning in this winter is really a good joke.

Thousands of households are floating in the snow, falling silently into the tile ditch.It's all like jade dust disappearing and accumulating, and half ice flakes still flow.

After leaving the river, they walked on the road together, and there was a "creaking" sound under their feet.

Nan Feng stopped and turned his head, and couldn't help sighing, the white snow field was smooth and clean, but it was destroyed by these few footprints.

Chong Yi said, these few footprints are not a big deal.

When new snow falls at night to cover these footprints, everything will be as usual.

Nanfeng shook his head.

Chongyi looked at him for a while, "...you still can't let go."

"what?"

"About your brother."

"Ah...heh." Nan Feng raised his head, he closed his eyes, letting the cold wind prick his cheeks.He said, does Lord Shenjun know what Nanyu told me before he died?

"……what?"

"He said...he said that I only have a heart, but I don't understand what love is."

I have been with the emperor since I was six years old.Since I was a child, I have only heard the word "loyalty".All I know is that Li Dan is my master and my belief. I listen to everything he says and believe in everything he does.I was born to live for him.He said he believed me because I was always by his side, and he didn't believe that anyone would believe me.

It wasn't until Nanyu...until he came to Li Dan's side that I realized that this man had other feelings.

I am actually very jealous of Nan Yu, who obviously has exactly the same face, why can he get his admiration?But he is my younger brother, and Li Dan is my master, so I have no right to say or do anything.

Later I found out that he was going to kill the emperor... how could I let him do that?

I had the idea of ​​killing Nanyu, and I also thought of letting Nanyu go without telling Li Dan, but I was still wrong in the end——I have never hesitated in doing things these years by Li Dan's side.Strangling traitors, framing Zhongliang, I have done all kinds of immoral things for him.I'm ruthless, I kill people like hemp, but I still can't bear to be cruel to Nan Yu.

I didn't expect that he would gouge out his own heart for Li Hong.

I will never forget him lying in my arms, strangling my neck, with the exact same face as mine.He said Nanfeng, you only have a heart, but you don't know what love is.

I'm at a loss.

Am I loyal to Li Dan, or am I in love?Do I hate Nanyu or do I pity him?

All I know is that I forced my own brother to death.

Later, Li Dan wanted me to die. I was not surprised, but felt sorry for my parents and clan.

I gave Nanyu a heart and became a phantom ghost.

Later, Prince Hong rebelled and seized the throne.He killed Li Dan.

"Yu'er was killed by you, I want you to bury him with him!"

"Heh, even if Nan Yu dies, he is still my man!"

In the end, Nanyu was the only one in everyone's heart.

That's right, Nan Yu is so nice, he is my younger brother, and I like him too.

He died because of me, and I want to return his heart.

Listening to Nan Feng calmly narrate the past events, Chong Yi felt complicated.He stared at Nanfeng's profile, snow fell on the corner of his mouth.

For some reason, as if being bewitched, he kissed her and held the piece of snow in his mouth.

Nan Feng opened his eyes, he looked at Chong Yi, and that person was also looking at him.He remembered that on the night of the Hundred Flowers Festival, they broke into someone else's bridal chamber, and he kissed him too.

What is love?

"What is love?" I couldn't help asking like this.

Chong Yi frowned, thought for a while and said, "I don't know either."

Nanfeng laughed, saying that there are still things in the Three Realms that the Red Flame God Lord doesn't know!

Chongyi also laughed, saying that there are actually many things I don't know.

For example, how can you find out your true heart.

I don't know if I love each other.

"It's here." Nanfeng looked at the door of his house, "Does the Lord Shenjun want to come in and have a seat?"

"it is good."

After entering the dormitory, lighting the lamp, Nanfeng made tea for Chongyi.

"It's rare that you didn't chase me away."

"Shenjun is wearing a simple and elegant style today, which is similar to the style of my house."

"Oh? So I'm still covered in this white dress?"

"Exactly."

Sure enough, the phantom ghost is still a phantom ghost, and Chongyi can't laugh or cry because of his eloquent teeth.He said that's all right, I will leave after a short rest, and I won't be here to obstruct your eyes.

Nanfeng smiled and said that it was getting late today, the god might as well stay here.

"Eh?"

"Didn't the Divine Lord want to explore the heart?" Nan Feng slowly raised his head, his brows and eyes were less ghostly, but a little emotional like a mortal.He said that the wedding ceremony in the bridal chamber that day, my husband hadn't discovered my sincerity, so it's better to finish it tonight.

"You..." Chongyi was still confused, but saw Nanfeng leaning over.

He bit his lips.

The ghostly coldness, trembling slightly, he murmured Chongyi's name softly.

Ah Yi.

In an instant, all kinds of emotions surged out of his heart, he just wanted to hug him tightly and linger with him until death.

During the entanglement, he heard Nanfeng ask, do you know what love is?

He kissed his earlobe lightly, "Then you know?"

"Oh, I won't tell you."
