Soul knot

The time has come to the end of April in a blink of an eye, the weather is gradually warming up, and most pedestrians on the road are wearing single clothes.

More and more cities are occupied by fairies, but people's lives have not changed in any way.

Lu Yudong can even chat with former classmates.

Not long ago, Chen Yang just released her first album "Yang". It can be seen that her company has given her the best resources. Her solo album can be released within half a year after her debut, and the lineup of lyrics and music for the entire album is very good. powerful.

But what is surprising is that the title song of the album was written and composed by an unknown creator——Zhang Ziyun.

"I hide the quiet past in my heart and let the wind blow.

Don't look forward to the next reunion.

There are no deep-rooted memories, never embarrassing, at least ignorant.

It can also go through spring, summer, autumn and winter.

Strange crowds incite pedestrians.

They love to go with the flow first, and then complain about numbness and compliance.

When the spring breeze passes, when the ice and snow melt.

There will be someone who will tear off the hypocrisy and accompany me to indulge. "

Such brushstrokes are undoubtedly unfamiliar to Lu Yudong.

It was very similar to Zhang Ziyun's sense of strangeness that radiated from the bottom of his body when he came back. It seemed approachable, but in fact it was closed.

It's the same thing, but it's not the same.

Perhaps in the tough loneliness, there is an extra expectation.

Chen Yang should have changed her, at least not the same as when she came back.

Speaking of it, time flies so fast, and everyone will be graduating in a blink of an eye.

Both Chen Yang and Tang Qian were worried about her graduation and defense with Ye Liujing. They asked her what she was up to recently and how long it took for her to go back, and then asked her where Ye Liujing had been recently and why she couldn't be contacted at all.

Lu Yudong didn't know how to answer these questions, so he chose to ignore the past.

Now that she is like this, it doesn't matter whether she can graduate smoothly. Anyway, if one day she can be stable and stable, then this life will be a long way, and she can always learn more things. If she is capable, she can make money, not short of a diploma.

Fairies, don't they all have these things?

And even if there is one, when the ID card is changed, it will be destroyed along with it.

Although...she really wanted to go back.

I want to eat the small hot pot and dessert shop in front of the university, and I want to eat the red oil dumplings near the junior high school.

She knew that what she was thinking about was not eating, drinking, and drinking. There were similar substitutes for these things everywhere.

But the ordinary and stable life has been away from her for too long.

The short coffee table at home, the small bed, the window that you can look at when you turn your head, and the night view of the city outside the window.

Also, it's not the songs and wine in the old friend...

This is an age of superficial peace, and even wars seem extremely peaceful. Only those people and demons who can see "war" or participate in "war" are truly anxious.

Occasionally, if one party goes too far, the media will try to cover up or beautify all abnormalities.

Some goblins who originally lived in these cities were finally able to return to their dusty homes, while the rest of the goblins who were temporarily homeless lived in the temporary housing provided by the goblin management bureau.

In fact, goblins have their own original shapes, and they can easily inhabit any place that is sheltered from wind and rain, and they don't have to squeeze into human houses.

But after all, everyone has been in the human world for a long time, and they have obsessions that the mountain goblins can't understand about that kind of boxy room, soft or hard beds, and a rechargeable socket.

It's like a goblin who just came out of the mountains dares to defecate in an empty flower bed, but a goblin who has lived in the city for a long time must distinguish between genders even when going to a public toilet.

In the past, the old snake father always said that in the world and all things, people should be cultivated before cultivating Taoism.

Thinking about it now, tens of thousands of years have passed, and the fairies who truly live like humans are all in this generation, right?

The world is so big, human science and technology are getting more and more advanced, and the exploration of the unknown is getting deeper and deeper, and it is impossible for demons to disappear completely, and they must eventually integrate into humans.

The only difference is that to rule, to be ruled, or to coexist peacefully.

In fact, if Manzhu were to choose, she would definitely prefer the last option.

After all, she has been very happy and satisfied during the more than ten years of living with everyone in Yuanchuan.

It is precisely because of this that she has been unwilling to break skin with humans, and has been unwilling to rush into human cities in the strongest way, and fight Tan Wenqing to the death.

Moreover, that price was too great, not only completely tearing up the superficial peace between the human and demon races, but also completely sounding the drums of war.

But the monster clan can't achieve absolute unity at all. Before they choose to resist, once humans give them stability, they will accept it. There are many big monsters who have nothing to do with themselves.

After all, when the fire burns on him, no one is more willing to stand by and watch.

Can such a monster race really win in a head-on conflict?

Maybe, it's okay, like the fierce battle that sacrificed the last demon god a long time ago, get a miserable victory in exchange for a negotiation.

So no matter how impatient she was, she didn't dare to act lightly, and could only wait for an opportunity.

Now there are not as many goblins gathered together as imagined. It is the limit for them to occupy one or two provinces. Humans are not inactive. If the goblins want to expand their territory, the previously occupied land may be due to too little defense And fall.

Humans and monsters are in a stalemate.

Perhaps a long wait can change anything, and such a wait is not a bad thing for Yaozu.

After all, the demon clan always respects the strong. Although Manzhu has not cultivated to the level of a demon god, there are still so many goblins following Manzhu, just because they firmly believe that Manzhu is the one with the highest cultivation level among the goblins who are willing to stand up for the demon clan. I firmly believe that Manzhu and the girl who has become a soulmate with her can overthrow the polar night forces and strive for more equal living conditions for human beings.

But the current Tan Wenqing is too powerful, he is backed by all human beings, not only protected by Yongri, but also obtained all the cultivation bases of Mu Shenshan.

Perhaps, one day in the future, Lu Yudong will be able to fight against him.

but not now.

But, the Yaozu can wait, can Yan Zhaomu who was captured wait?

Manzhu couldn't think of an answer to this question, and neither could Lu Yudong.

Before Ye Liujing left, Manzhu left the seal of the soul-dispelling curse in her body, and gave her a demonic power, which was enough to break the body protector formed by the power of the nether world.

However, Ye Liujing is an ordinary human being after all, and the demonic power will cause great damage to her body, so she can't hide too much, so the time to destroy the body protector will be very short.

Manzhu used the blood coagulation curse at any cost, as long as Ye Liujing found an opportunity to destroy Tan Wenqing's body protector, and then planted the curse seal into Tan Wenqing's heart, she would be able to feel it immediately.

Killing a person thousands of miles away is only an instant.

It's just that Ye Liujing has been away for a long time, but the curse seal has not changed in the slightest.

Was it because Ye Liujing couldn't find a chance to strike, or was he simply too ruthless?

No matter which one it was, she didn't dare to guess too much, she could only choose to believe it.

I believe that Ye Liujing will not compromise easily, and that Yan Zhaomu has a way to protect himself.

"One day, we'll go back."

Manzhu said, holding Lu Yudong's hand: "Everyone will go back together, there will be no one missing."

There must be that day.

***

A month or two ago, there were occasional old customers who would pass by outside and look inside curiously once or twice, but now there are no more.

Half a year has passed, and the former regular customers have found new places to go, and gradually no longer miss the people and things here.

The past has become a memory, so this bar, which was originally opened in a quiet alley, has been silent like this.

"You know, Ziye Liujing came back a while ago, he came back from Zhongjiang, and he was seriously injured."

"I wanted to find out what she said, but that little girl was locked up tightly. Tan Wenqing didn't allow anyone to see her at all."

"However, this also means that she has not compromised. It should be because she was angered by your affairs and had to escape... Without compromise, she will not accept the soul knot. Before she bows her head to Tan Wenqing, you are safe. "

The soft lights were on in the bar, Yong Zhou was sitting by the bar counter, talking about something to himself.

At the end, he turned around and glanced at Yan Zhaomu who was sitting at the bar.

That stutter is like a dumb person, and it's very boring. Every day, I know that I hold a broken mobile phone with no SIM card and no Internet connection, and play the stand-alone version of Snake Fight.

Yong Zhou remembered that Mu Shen Shan used to say that the game was boring, and every time he was met with supercilious stares.

In fact, he also thinks this game is boring, but he just doesn't want to say it out, maybe it's because of the unwillingness in his heart. If he can, he doesn't want to be an imitator, in front of the people Mu Shenshan once cared about, doing what Mu Shenshan once loved. do.

So he watched from the sidelines, and the more he watched, the more irritable he became.

"Hey, little stutterer."

Yan Zhaomu ignored him.

Yong Zhou pursed his lips, picked up a lemon, and subconsciously wanted to smash it out, but after hesitating for a moment, he withdrew his palm and squeezed it, and finally put it down lightly, laying down on the table bored, stretched out his finger and poked Yan Chao. Twilight's arm.

After poking it, seeing that it didn't respond, I poked it a few more times.

Yan Zhaomu's fingers were unsteady from being poked by Yong Zhou, and a big green snake hit the wall and shattered on the phone screen, so he couldn't help but look up at Yong Zhou.

Yong Zhou: "Talk with me."

Yan Zhaomu: "Say it."

Yong Zhou thought for a while, and found that he really had nothing to say, so he awkwardly asked nonsense: "Is your injury better? Does it still hurt?"

"Ah."

There was a soft reply, I don't know if it was better, or it still hurts.

In the past few days, Yan Zhaomu has been treating the wound by himself, there is no anesthetic in the bar, let alone any wound medicine.He lost his demon body protection, so in order to make the wound heal faster, he could only sew it up with a needle and thread through gritted teeth.

The same was true of the tear in the waist and abdomen, as well as the multiple cuts and stab wounds in the leg.

The right hand that was pierced by the knife is still stiff and sluggish, and it can still move because he is a demon with a self-healing ability that is far stronger than that of humans.

"Actually, you don't have to be brave... If your spiritual power is blocked, you won't be able to heal your injuries on your own. Only relying on your body's self-healing ability, such a serious injury won't heal in a short while." Yong Zhou said, his eyes wide open. A trace of guilt flashed in his face, "I'm sorry, I hit too hard."

Yan Zhaomu shook his head and said nothing more.

Yong Zhou thought for a long time, and couldn't help asking: "Why...why didn't you ask me to undo the spirit-locking curse in your body?"

Yan Zhaomu lowered his eyelashes, a strangeness flashed in his eyes, but Yong Zhou didn't notice it.

After a brief silence, he whispered, "You, you will be punished."

The voice was soft and a little weak.

But Yong Zhou couldn't help being taken aback, and it took him a long time to come back to his senses: "Are you afraid that I will be punished?"

Yan Zhaomu didn't look up, nor did he answer.

Such silence, in Yong Zhou's view, is a kind of acknowledgment, and this kind of acknowledgment is a kind of recognition and worry.

"I won't be punished, Tan Wenqing can't control me yet." His mood suddenly improved a lot, as if a child had gained a sweet treat, he said with a smile, "Tan Wenqing dare not do anything to me, I am not those demon slaves who recognize their masters , I am just a cooperative relationship with him, if you really want to piss me off, he can't do anything."

As Yong Zhou said, under Yan Zhaomu's surprised gaze, he sat down on the bar counter, kicked his legs, and rolled over to Yan Zhaomu's side: "I'll unlock your spirit-locking spell, but you have to agree I'm not allowed to leave here."

Yan Zhaomu hesitated for a moment, shook his head, stood up and took a few steps back with some difficulty.

"Hide what?"

"You...you shouldn't, you shouldn't help me."

"What are you talking about? If you are afraid of getting me into trouble, you can heal your wounds secretly, pretending that nothing happened, Tan Wenqing will definitely not be able to see it!" Yong Zhou said, stepped forward and pushed Yan Zhaomu back on the stool , was about to cast a spell to dispel the spirit-locking spell for him, but a trace of hesitation suddenly appeared in his eyes.

After a short hesitation, he asked earnestly, "After you recover from your injury, you won't sneak away?"

Yan Zhaomu raised his eyes to look at Yong Zhou with complicated eyes.

Yong Zhou was taken aback by him, he thought, maybe his own distrust made Yan Zhao Mu unhappy.

He is just such a friend, I don't want him to be unhappy.

"Okay, okay, I believe you!" Yong Zhou said, "But let me tell you the truth, don't even think about escaping, you have seen the barrier outside, you will definitely not be able to escape. "

After finishing speaking, he saw Yan Zhaomu nodded silently, and finally felt relieved.

***

Tan Wenqing was worried about Ye Liujing, so he blocked all her social interactions.

But people can't be alone forever, they will go crazy, so he will come to accompany her every day, accompany the apprentice who once trusted him and relied on him so much.

In May, Ye Liujing completed his final defense in the company of Tan Wenqing.

During this period of time, every time she went online, she was within Tan Wenqing's sight, and every time she went to the hospital or school, she was accompanied by Tan Wenqing.

Tan Wenqing told her that she would always marry a goblin, and the rest of her life would be long, so she didn't need to care about her studies for a while.

But she said that she had lived her life for decades, and she didn't want to be a demon catcher in the future, and she had to find a stepping stone to find another job. Although her major was not very good, there was still a difference between a diploma and a diploma.

It was as if all of a sudden, the not-so-simple girl had become an ordinary person.

Apart from still refusing to accept the knot, she seems to have let go of many things, including her persistence and the justice in her heart.

She said she was tired and just wanted to be an ordinary person.

Although she still couldn't forgive Tan Wenqing for ordering Yongzhou to hurt Jiang Fang, she finally stopped turning a blind eye to Tan Wenqing.

Ordinary life, day after day, if Tan Wenqing hadn't been so wary of her, holding her to death like a bird in a cage, she would have thought that she could really go back to the past.

But thought, always just thought.

From the day she was able to talk peacefully with Tan Wenqing, as soon as she asked Yan Zhaomu about her current situation, Tan Wenqing would ask her if she would like to make a soul mate with her.

It turned out that Tan Wenqing left Yan Zhaomu to her, and he didn't plan to tell her anything about Yan Zhaomu until she agreed.

That's good, at least it proves that Yan Zhaomu is still alive.

Ye Liujing actually thought about whether she would be able to see Yan Zhaomu if she pretended to agree to become a soul, but she was afraid that once she agreed, Tan Wenqing would use various means to force Yan Zhaomu to submit.

As a result, their meeting was not only meaningless, but also a mistake.

So she needs to continue to wait, until Tan Wenqing let go of her guard, until she has more freedom and initiative.

Time flies to the beginning of June.

On an extremely unusual noon, Tan Wenqing brought her lunch in his spare time as in the past.

The dishes are different from the previous two days, but there is nothing new about them.

It has been closed for a long time, and the surrounding shops are all familiar, and there are only a few good ones after turning over and over again.

Tan Wenqing sat on the sofa with her, holding a plastic lunch box, watching TV while eating.

Before Ye Liujing lived in school, the master and apprentice had been here for so many years.

They are good at catching monsters and exorcising ghosts, but none of them can cook. On weekdays, they either go out to eat out, or order takeaway and sit in front of the TV to eat together. Take the rest to cook noodles.

Those who cook noodles do not wash dishes, and those who wash dishes do not cook noodles.

Ye Liujing never thought that he could return to such a life.

She should like this kind of life, at least she should be used to it, but now she can't tell whether she likes it more or hates it more.

After eating the takeaway, she got up and packed the rest and put them in the refrigerator.

Then he pulled out a few sheets of tissue paper and wiped the oiled table.

She deliberately blocked the TV with her body, as if she was angry silently, but she had resisted hoarsely before, such a petty temper that is not even a small fight, it is impossible to cause any harm to others.

Tan Wenqing sat on the sofa and looked at Ye Liujing quietly, his thoughts seemed not to be here at all.

Suddenly, there was a sharp pain in his chest, which seemed to tear his soul apart.

Ye Liujing just finished wiping the table, got up and threw the ball of paper into the small wastebasket on the other side of the table with precision. When he raised his eyes, he saw Tan Wenqing lying on the sofa clutching his heart, frowning.

"What about acting?" Ye Liujing frowned.

It seems that it doesn't look like acting...

Tan Wenqing was covered in cold sweat, clenched his teeth, his body was trembling uncontrollably, his lips turned pale almost instantly, no matter how he looked, he looked half-dead.

"Hello! What's the matter with you?" Ye Liujing hurried forward subconsciously, checking Tan Wenqing anxiously.

"Yongzhou...Yongzhou..." Tan Wenqing gritted his teeth and called out Yongzhou's name, his voice was terribly hoarse.

He didn't have any wounds on his body, but his hands were terribly cold, and the spiritual energy in his body was extremely scattered.

Obviously, Yong Zhou was injured, not lightly, but not fatally.

With Yong Zhou's cultivation base, it won't be long before he can recover his ability to move, and Tan Wenqing will gradually recover by then.

Ye Liujing hurriedly supported Tan Wenqing to lie flat on the sofa, such a move was almost instinctive.

Every time she was injured in the past, Tan Wenqing would take care of her, and she also subconsciously thought that when Tan Wenqing was injured, she should take care of him.

But in the next second, she realized that if Tan Wenqing was not acting, then this was the best time to get rid of him.

Today's Tan Wenqing is in the body of a half-demon, possessing a powerful body protector, which is hard to penetrate, and even if he can be stabbed, as long as Yong Zhou can survive, he cannot really kill him.

The soul-dispersing curse is something that can directly make his soul fly away.

As long as, as long as now...

Ye Liujing gritted his teeth, looking at Tan Wenqing who was enduring the pain in front of him, he hesitated until his eyes turned red.

—I should have killed him.

She told herself like this, struggled and hesitated repeatedly, and finally a dark red aura gathered at her fingertips, instantly breaking Tan Wenqing's body protector.

But at that moment, Tan Wenqing raised his eyes and looked at her: "You have the soul-scattering curse seal on your hand..."

In his bloodshot eyes due to pain, there is no longer the rationality and calmness of the past, only deep sadness remains: "I always knew...you came back...to kill me..."

But he still took her in.

Because, his apprentice was expelled by the Yaozu on the surface, and he has done too many things to sorry her, so he can no longer make her homeless.

Don't trust anymore, but still care.

If not, he wouldn't have appeared in this place at such a time, allowing her to seize such an opportunity.

Ye Liujing's hands couldn't help shaking.

Originally clear vision, in the end is still blurred.

But she knew that she couldn't be shaken.

"Then you go to die and make atonement for everything you have done!" Ye Liujing forced the curse seal into Tan Wenqing's body.

At that moment, she suddenly burst into laughter, as if she wanted to vent all the suppressed things in her heart.

She did what Manzhu asked her to do, and Tan Wenqing's life and death are now in Manzhu's hands.

Thinking that everything would end with Tan Wenqing's death, she didn't know whether she should be happy or sad.

She couldn't even believe that she really killed her master—the master who took her out of the orphanage and raised her for so many years.

Guilt and pain flooded into her heart after a brief moment of confusion, she suddenly held Tan Wenqing's hand and cried bitterly.

She buried herself in Tan Wenqing's chest, apologizing with sobs, angrily scolding herself for being a beast, but she didn't ask for forgiveness.

Because, if she was given another chance, she would still make such a choice.

Ji Ye has been secretly killing the Yaozu for so many years, everything should have ended long ago.

She was overwhelmed by the pain and completely stopped paying attention to everything around her.

The expected parting of life and death did not happen, Tan Wenqing not only did not die from the forbidden curse, but his breathing became more and more calm.

The crying in the room gradually weakened, and the gentle breathing finally entered her ears.

Ye Liujing faintly sensed something was wrong, raised his head in surprise, and used his spiritual power to check Tan Wenqing's spiritual breath.

It wasn't until this moment that she realized that Tan Wenqing didn't have the forbidden soul spell in his body at all.

The forbidden curse made of blood disappeared without a trace in Tan Wenqing's body!

"Don't you think that if you take all precautions, I can miss out?" Tan Wenqing was still weak, but he had obviously regained some strength, "I have discovered what is hidden in your body a long time ago."

He reached out and grabbed Ye Liujing's wrist, and asked her: "Xiaojing, every time you get a chance, you are eager to kill me... Do you really think that I am a sinner?"
