The whole empire thought I was showing affection

Shen Chunyu's retreat lasted for twelve years.

Two days before his transformation ceremony, Shen Chunyu met Gu Heqing again.

As the years got older, Shen Chunyu's temperament became more and more like Lord Jiuhua.Especially when wearing wide-sleeved white clothes, the moon is covered by light clouds, and the wind blows back to the snow, unlike ordinary people.To put it simply, he is a fairy.

The moment she caught sight of Gu Heqing, Shen Chunyu's expression was reluctantly still reserved, but her peach eyes suddenly lit up, with a sense of joy and joy.

He stepped forward and led the person to his Qingliang Pavilion.

"Gu Heqing." Shen Chunyu hugged him gently, her eyebrows and eyes slightly curved, and there was a trace of attachment in her expression.

Gu Heqing left the customs one step ahead of him, and was awarded the honorary title "Fengyi Jun" in the God Transformation Ceremony.Shen Chunyu felt that it was a pity to miss Gu Heqing's grand ceremony, and it would have been a pity to leave the customs earlier.

His gaze settled on him, and Gu Heqing's dark and deep eyes smiled slightly, as if the snow had melted with the warmth of recovery.

He hugged him preciously, his voice was low and gentle, "How have you been all these years?"

"It's okay," Shen Chunyu put her chin on his shoulder and said seriously, "I just miss you a little."

Gu Heqing sighed in his heart, and hugged him even tighter.

After talking about the past, Gu Heqing suddenly asked him, "Have you thought about what title you want to take?"

"My father ordered me 'Dong Lin Jun'." Shen Chunyu looked at him firmly and asked seriously, "I think it's okay, what do you think?"

Gu Heqing pondered for a moment, "Sounds good. What's the meaning?"

Shen Chunyu blinked, and said uncertainly, "Probably commemorating my father taking me east to Wuchenhai? I went to Wuchenhai when I was 15 years old, but somehow I lost that memory."

Gu Heqing paused imperceptibly while holding Shen Chunyu's hand.

He suddenly laughed, and said to Shen Chunyu: "Do you know the meaning of 'Feng Yijun'?"

Shen Chunyu pondered for a while, "Is it from 'Xiao Shao Jiucheng, Fenghuang Laiyi'?"

"You can also say that." Gu Heqing's eyes were soft.Without saying much, he turned to say, "Guess what gift I gave you?"

Hearing his mention, Shen Chunyu also remembered, "I missed your God Transformation Ceremony, and I will prepare a copy for you later."

At this moment, Shen Chunyu did not expect that this carefully prepared gift would not be sent out in the end, but would be covered in dust in the corner of Xumijie for decades together with the white jade crown that Gu Heqing gave him.

Gu Heqing came to Tianyan Sect this time, on behalf of Slaughter Fa Sect.The ghost domain has become more and more rampant recently, and the Tianyanzong and the Killing Fazong had to temporarily shake hands and make peace to defend against the enemy together.

In addition to participating in Shen Chunyu's God Transformation Ceremony, he also accepted the task of going to the City of Ten Thousand Buddhas.If there is no accident, Shen Chunyu, as the young master of Tianyan Sect, will also participate in this mission.

The City of Ten Thousand Buddhas is in the far west of the cultivation world.It is said to be the "City of Ten Thousand Buddhas", but it is actually the Kingdom of Ten Thousand Buddhas.There are tens of thousands of small countries and small city-states in this pure land of Buddhism, and almost all the citizens believe in Buddhism.

However, in addition to referring to the "land of ten thousand Buddhas", there is indeed a city called the city of ten thousand Buddhas by outsiders.The city is full of temples, among which the Huayin Temple is the most famous.

The destination of Shen Chunyu and Gu Heqing this time is Huayin Temple, and they came to suppress the three evil spirits who showed signs of breaking out of the temple.Accompanying him were other disciples and sect elders.

Walking into the City of Ten Thousand Buddhas, there are many pagodas and Buddhist temples everywhere.The monks in cassocks walked back and forth peacefully, and occasionally looked at them with quiet and amiable eyes.

I can hear the sound of Buddhist chant in my ears, and the occasional bronze bell rings.The bird of paradise dragged its gorgeous golden wings and danced around the distant visitors.Some flowers floated down from mid-air and landed safely on the ground.

There seems to be a strange power in this city. When you walk in, your heart will calm down.

On the spur of the moment, Shen Chunyu stretched out her hands to pick it up, but at first glance, it turned out to be a gorgeous Manjusawa flower, so red that it is breathtaking, and the end of the slender petals looks like the shape of tears.

Gu Heqing took a look at the flower in his hand, "The other shore flower?"

Manjusawa, from the Sanskrit word "Maha Manjusawa", originally means a flower in the sky, one of the four flowers of auspiciousness from heaven.

However, some people call it the flower of the other shore.It is rumored that this flower blooms for 1000 years and falls for 1000 years. The flowers and leaves will never meet, so it is called "Bi'an flower".Because of this sad and beautiful rumor, the name of Bianhua is more widely spread than Manjushahua.

Entering Huayin Temple, they were greeted by Venerable Shi Ye who had seen Dongshan before.

"The guest came from a long way from Zhongzhou, and Huayin Temple did not welcome them from afar."

After a rest, Venerable Shi Ye took them to see the Fuguang Pagoda where the three evil spirits were suppressed.

The Fuguang Pagoda is thirteen stories high.As its name suggests, the tower is full of golden light.It's just that it is no longer what it used to be, and the golden light on the tower seems much dimmer—this is also a sign that the seal is loose.

Shen Chunyu and Gu Heqing are just here for a walk this time, which can be regarded as an experience, and there are other elders of the sect in charge.Therefore, the two of them took some time out of their busy schedules, lived next to each other, and were inseparable every day, so they lived a leisurely life.

Even Venerable Shi Ye could not help sighing, "From you, I have seen another realm of happiness."

Facing the puzzled eyes of the two above, he pondered for a while, and said hesitantly, "Maybe it's because you are young and don't care about worry, and you are sincere?"

Shen Chunyu asked him, "Then what is the state of happiness in the heart of the Venerable?"

Venerable Shi Ye recited a verse: "All things are impermanent, and everything is suffering. All dharmas have no self, and extinction is joy."

After reading it, he shook his head and smiled, "You are still young, don't experience this."

The two looked at each other, not knowing what it meant.

Venerable Shi Ye didn't explain, and drifted away.

Two people: "..." Don't go, explain clearly first.

Shen Chunyu reached out and hugged Gu Heqing's waist, resting his cheek on the hollow of his shoulder, "What do you think is the joy?"

Gu Heqing thought for a while and replied, "This moment is for pleasure."

Shen Chunyu laughed, "Isn't it better for a long time?"

Gu Heqing also laughed, "Probably what I got didn't last long."

It was a prophecy.

In addition to the general elders, both the Tianyan Sect and the Killing Fa Sect each had an elder who passed the catastrophe period, and the abbot of Huayin Temple also brought two elders who had passed the catastrophe period together to discuss how to suppress the three elders who had completed the catastrophe period. of evil spirits.

In the end, it could be regarded as a result of the discussion, that is, at the noon of the Double Ninth Festival on September [-]th, everyone jointly cast spells to increase the seal.

For the discussion, Shen Chunyu and Gu Heqing only occasionally listen in, and the rest of the time is free.

During the more than half a month in Huayin Temple, the days were so peaceful that it seemed as if he could grow old like this forever.

Until the night before the Double Ninth Festival, Shen Chunyu suddenly fell asleep...

When Shen Chunyu woke up again, she was surprised to find that she had returned to Mount Ronghua.

Waking up after a long sleep, consciousness is still a little chaotic.He rubbed his forehead, wondering, "Shouldn't I be in Huayin Temple?"

"There was an accident," said Xie Feiyu who teleported over when he heard the movement, "You have been in a coma for three days, do you feel unwell?"

Hearing the "accident", Shen Chunyu immediately thought of Gu Heqing, and he had a faint feeling that something happened to Huangquan again.

A bad premonition arose in my heart, as if I was about to lose something.In desperation, he grabbed his elder brother's hand and asked, "How is Gu Heqing?"

"Don't worry, Gu Heqing is fine." Xie Feiyu reassured him, "I just suffered a slight injury."

"It's fine." Shen Chunyu breathed a sigh of relief. When he heard that he was injured behind, he frowned, got up and was about to leave, "I'll go see him."

Xie Feiyu pushed the man back on the bed, "He will be closed as soon as he returns to the Slaying Fazong. If you go now, I'm afraid you won't see him."

"Why did you retreat as soon as you came back? Did you actually suffer a serious injury?" Shen Chunyu frowned even tighter, "Brother, I'm going to take a look, don't stop me."

"It's not that I want to stop you," Xie Feiyu couldn't laugh or cry, and teased him, "Although Chunyu is a natural beauty, even if you wear messy clothes, you can't hide your national beauty, but just go out like this..."

He sighed, "It's really embarrassing for Rong Huashan."

Only then did Shen Chunyu realize that her hair was still loose and she was wearing a white mid-length robe.

"..."

After changing his attire, when Shen Chunyu came out, he caught a glimpse of a figure a few steps behind his elder brother, the purple-robed ghost cultivator he had mentioned to his elder brother.

Didn't you say that you have no friendship with Ghost Xiu?

The purple-robed ghost turned his head and smiled at him, "Xiao Chunyu, don't you recognize me?"

This time, Zipao Guixiu didn't use spells to hide his face.Shen Chunyu saw that face clearly, and suddenly the wind was messed up—not beautiful, but frightening.

This purple-robed ghost cultivator actually has a teacher-less face!

Only Zipao Guixiu sighed quietly, "I was arrested by your elder brother as a prisoner."

Before he finished speaking, his elder brother grabbed him with a cold and merciless expression, and nodded to Shen Chunyu, "It was he who informed me that something happened to you."

"When I arrived at Huayin Temple, Young Sect Master Gu hugged you tightly." Speaking of this, Xie Feiyu's face was a little strange, "I don't know what happened, and he refused to say. When I saw you It's okay, he was only slightly injured, so I didn't pay much attention to it. Now that I think about it... well...you'd better ask."

Hearing this, Shen Chunyu suddenly felt a dull pain in her heart, which was so painful that she became numb.He murmured tightly in his throat, "Brother, I always feel that something is going to happen, what should I do..."

Hurrying to Kill Fazong, Shen Chunyu originally just had the idea of ​​watching from a distance, but she didn't expect to actually see Gu Heqing.

Gu Heqing was wearing a white robe which was rare, and his long hair was loose.The whole person has lost a lot of weight, and his face is extremely pale.

All in one suit.

Shen Chunyu's heart ached.

He approached step by step, hugged him forcefully, and said with a sob: "Gu Heqing..."

Gu Heqing gently stroked his face, coaxing him with a gentle voice, "What's wrong?"

Shen Chunyu buried her head in his neck and shook her head without making a sound.

After a while, he said in a muffled voice, "Gu Heqing, why did you make yourself like this..."

Gu Heqing traced his face very lightly and meticulously, as if he wanted to completely engrave the person in his heart.

He sighed softly, "Don't come to me again."

Shen Chunyu suddenly raised her head from his neck, and said in disbelief, "What did you say?"

"I said," Gu Heqing looked at him firmly, his voice was soft and gentle, "don't come here again."

Shen Chunyu slowly let go of Gu Heqing's hand, and let it hang down.He looked at Gu Heqing, blinked, tried his best to hold back the soreness in his eyes, and said softly, "I still don't quite understand what you mean."

Gu Heqing also slowly let go of his hand, and stared at him intently, "Let's say goodbye today, don't meet each other."

Shen Chunyu took a step back, stood still in a daze, tears filled her eyes, "Why?"

Gu Heqing gave him a reason, "Good and evil have different paths, we shouldn't get involved too much. I have my own way to ascend, but you—"

"I only wish you happiness and success, and a clear name all over the world."

Shen Chunyu plunged into his arms, tears streaming from her eyes, "But I only want you."

Gu Heqing carefully wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes with his fingertips, coaxing him softly, "Don't cry."

Shen Chunyu cried even more fiercely, tears fell down in big drops, and the brocade cloth on Gu Heqing's chest became dizzy.

He choked up, with unspeakable bitterness in his breath, "You... But do you have any difficulties? It doesn't matter, you tell me. I can't solve it. Isn't there still my father and father? Really, you believe me , nothing will happen."

Gu Heqing chuckled, "How can there be so many difficulties? I just feel that my strength is too low, and I want to concentrate on cultivation and soar as soon as possible."

After a long time, he said softly, "I'm going to retreat, to retreat to death."

He turned around, with Shen Chunyu on his back, polite and distant, "Go back."

Gu Heqing walked towards the place of retreat without haste, and Shen Chunyu followed step by step.

The heavy stone gate slowly fell...

Shen Chunyu couldn't stop people, and he couldn't open the door either.

After standing there for an unknown amount of time, he touched the corners of his eyes and found that they were dry.

He walked out of Slaying Law Sect with a calm expression, as if he had lost his soul, he drifted back to Ronghua Mountain like a wandering soul.

Seeing Xie Feiyu, he was stunned for a moment, and suddenly cried "Wow", "Brother, I lost someone..."

In the next 12 years, whenever ghosts and cultivators make trouble, Donglin Lord will come out.

Others praised him for being upright and awe-inspiring, like his father, Lord Jiuhua, but they didn't know that he was just waiting for someone.

Twelve years later, Lord Donglin closed the door to death.

A hundred years later, Donglin Jun crossed the catastrophe and ascended.
