I have a deep love for Zhenjun
Chapter 86
I don't eat or drink, sleep or sleep, I shake every palm tree and dig every inch of hard black soil.To show my sincerity, from the beginning to the end, I didn't use any spiritual power, and I did everything myself.
However, seeing that the one-month period is approaching, and there is still no clue for the jade soul, I can't help but feel restless, and even my demonic instincts start to move around.
Fortunately, there is still a celestial power in his body to contend with, otherwise——
My breathing became short of breath, I really hated this half-monster body so much, my chest grew more hostile, my hands gathered strength, and I shook the ground out of several cracks one after another, only then did I manage to slow down.
When I saw the tragic scene in front of me, I felt something was wrong again. I touched the spiritual power with my fingertips and caressed the cracks, trying to restore the ground to its original state, until my eyes accidentally caught a glimpse of a crack, which seemed to be shining brightly.
My heart was beating like a drum, and I knelt and crawled forward, reaching out into the depths of the crevice, and was accidentally injured by gravel, and blood gushed out, soaking the dry land.
It hurts, but I laughed.
The double-petaled Tang flower in front of me has exactly eight petals, all of which are snow-white and crystal clear.The moonlight looks down on it, making it even more transparent, like glazed glass.
Unlucky people can't get it?
I turned out to be lucky, I turned out to be lucky too!
As if I had found a treasure, I hugged the jade soul and laughed foolishly for a long while before I came back to my senses, picked up the bamboo tablet tied around my waist, tapped it with two fingers, and the bamboo tablet turned into a kingfisher and flew in the direction of Xuandan go.
I took vain steps and sat on a boulder not far away.
This place is not far from Xuandan, the master's footsteps are faster, maybe he can arrive at dawn and enjoy the beauty of the full moon with me.If it's slower...it's okay, but I don't know if there will be a full moon tomorrow night?
Not right either.
As long as he comes, I don't care whether it's full moon or not.
Master, master, master... I kissed Yupo lightly, and my expression gradually softened.For thousands of years, every bit of him and me, I have kept in my heart and never dared to forget.When I see him, I will tell him one by one, coaxing him to forget about that dry Sangdi Ji.
I never believe in a heart of iron and stone, I only believe in sincerity and gold and stone.
I sat and waited for the moon to break through the sky, but there was no sign of anyone.
I spread my palms and added a new horizontal line next to the fourth orthographic.
It doesn't matter, it must be that there are so many trifles in the clan that he can't get away.I have been waiting for so many years, so am I afraid of waiting for this day?
The sun rises and sets, the moon rises again.
The moon rises and falls, and the sunset rises again.
This cycle goes on and on, I don't know how many days and nights have passed, I counted the orthographic characters in my palm, and now I am still short of the last horizontal line, which is the full number of six.
The January period is coming to an end.
The heart that had been revived because of the jade soul before was now covered with a layer of ice, and it was almost exhausted and unable to beat.
A few days ago I could find some excuses to excuse him, but at this moment, self-deception should stop here.
He just doesn't want to see me, that's all.
Looking up, the moon in the sky seems to be pluckable with one hand, but in fact it is out of reach.It's like my master and I, every time he embraced me and held each other tenderly, I would lie to myself that he also likes me.
Actually I know not.
His smile is too floating and too far away, like a bright moon in the water, a dream bubble.
The cold wind blows head-on, light thunder blows two or three times, black clouds turn black and cover the bright moon and clear light, Wansi is like a jumping bead, coming weakly, and then leaning like a bank bursting, gradually rushing.
I put the jade soul in my arms, sat around my knees, quietly admiring the dry mulberry in the mist and rain, without avoiding or hiding.
It is said that there is only one jade soul in thousands of miles, and it must be obtained by the lucky ones.I got it at this time, but I don't consider myself very lucky.
Because the person I'm waiting for seems to never come.
Amidst the sound of rain, the consciousness seemed to be split into two.
Some were angry: "Don't wait! If he doesn't come back, then don't wait!"
There are those who are persistent and do not regret: "I just don't give up. Even if I am not born to be tolerated by the world, I still hope that the beam of moonlight in the sky can stop for me for a moment."
This is the last night.I told myself, if he doesn't come tonight, I... really won't wait.
Suddenly, the sound of extremely heavy footsteps came from behind, breaking through the overwhelming rain, walked to my side, and stopped.I held my breath, my heart was beating like a drum, and I raised my head suddenly.
The visitor is holding a white silk gilt umbrella, even under the heavy rain, he is still as leisurely as a stroll in the courtyard.
The white clothes are not stained by rain or dust.
But my eyes were dripping with rain, it was extremely difficult to open them, and because of the cold, my teeth trembled from the cold, so I could only call softly: "Master."
"..."
"I have already found the jade soul you want, so you also promise me not to marry Di Ji, okay?"
As soon as he spoke, he was drowned in the sound of rain.
He didn't know whether he heard it or not, and silently leaned over the umbrella to cover me from the wind and rain.I was able to breathe a sigh of relief, picked up the wet and heavy sleeve corners, and wiped my face indiscriminately. I suddenly felt embarrassed and embarrassed for no reason.
I had to avoid his eyes to have the courage to hand out the jade soul. I raised my hand to my forehead, but he didn't take it for a long time.
After a long time, a sigh-like voice came from above his head: "I actually taught you to find it."
"Master." I raised my eyes and couldn't help urging, "Hurry up, this is... a betrothal gift."
His eyelashes trembled slightly, his fingertips lightly held the jade core, his expression was blank for a moment: "My good Zhuluo, you always surprise me, you make me—"
Before I had time to rejoice, I heard him stop his voice suddenly, the petals of the jade soul shattered, scattered thousands of bright lights, and disappeared without a trace.
The heavy weight in the palm of my hand suddenly lightened, I subconsciously closed my five fingers, and then slowly opened the gap.
No more, I didn't catch anything.
"...Why?" I asked lightly and slowly.
"I lied to you." He also deserved to be contemptuous, "The purpose of moving out the jade soul is just to let you retreat in the face of difficulties. The jade soul, the jade soul, is one in a thousand miles, and it must be obtained by the lucky ones, and you have never been lucky enough .”
His words are like a poisoned blade, not only gouging me out painfully, but also needing to suffer a long time after the wound has healed.
I froze and looked at him quietly.It was clearly still that delicate face, with the tails of the eyes slanting up, revealing a three-point moving expression.
I can't be more familiar...
It couldn't be more strange.
I smiled sadly and said: "For thousands of years, I have always put you first, and I have tried my best to keep your preferences in mind, observe your work and rest, and inquire about your past. I used to think that there would be no one in this world better than me. Knowing the master better. But now, I feel like I was wrong, or maybe I was not wrong, I just kept lying to myself."
"..."
"I never knew the master, never did."
His eyes froze for a moment, and then quickly returned to normal, and a decent smile gradually formed on his lips: "You have been by my side for many years, thinking of the friendship between master and servant, I promise you a mountain, a green feather, and the mansion. If you are willing, the moon chariot has been prepared outside Qiansang, and you can start the journey immediately."
Did I do so much for him because I was greedy for his money or power?
I regard him as my life, so what does he regard me as?
The demon nature is hard to restrain, leading to the greed and cruelty in the bones.My eyes were slightly cold, and my tone became strange: "Okay, what the master says is what it is. Zhu Luo figured it out. With this broken body, it is a great honor to be honored as the master of Mount Heng."
"you--"
I interrupted him: "But these are far from enough. After all, Zhu Luo has devoted himself to his master for thousands of years, hasn't he?"
"...you go ahead."
"In the future, you will be in charge of Mount Heng, and you will feel lonely after a long time of pure cultivation. Master should know this feeling? I hope you will give me a few obedient and pleasant male pets to accompany me. What kind of temperament do I like...Master It is most clear that Zhu Luo can rest assured that this matter is left to you."
"Male pet?" The smile on his lips was blown a little cold by the wind, "I won't do such lowly things."
"How could it be so?" I didn't take it seriously, "The master's flirting methods are so clever. I was hoping that you could give them a few words, so as to please me. At that time, the world will be full of luxury and money, and the music will be played day and night. I will remember my master again."
His smile faded away, he looked at me for a while, his tone seemed to be soaked in a floating ice, and he did not return to the soft words just now: "Don't rely on me... just be so presumptuous, I just..."
These words were spoken intermittently, hesitant to speak.
I couldn't understand, my heart was hurting, and I felt a vague sense of pleasure, and I said more and more sloppily: "Just what? Master wouldn't want to say that you only hugged me and kissed me? That's what I said." If I said it a few days earlier, I’m afraid I’d have to force myself to believe it. On that day, I told you clearly, don’t betray me, don’t lie to me. But you betrayed me...you deceived me! You even wanted to abandon me, Going to be engaged to someone else? Do you know that I tell myself all the time that these eyes can only look at you, this heart can only hold you, and I try my best to do it. Why can I do it, but you can't? "
His expression changed, he touched the center of my eyebrows with his fingertips, and said in a deep voice, "Zhu Luo, don't worry!"
I brushed off his hand, my eyes were red, and my chest heaved violently: "Why...why can't you?!"
He frowned, waved his sleeves out, and waved around in front of my eyes, sending a warm and clear stream, which immediately wiped away the blood in my eyes, and the hostility dissipated without a trace, followed by a slight helplessness.
Then, the neck seemed to be tied with a thin rope.I lowered my eyes in a daze, and saw the green feather hanging on my chest, exuding a radiant brilliance.
Almost made a big mistake.I flinched belatedly.
"Don't take it off in the future, you know?" The lower jaw was lifted at this moment, and the master stared at me with a rather ugly expression, as if it was not me, but him who made the ugly appearance just now.
I avoided his touch, and suddenly felt very tired: "Guan Qingyu can only be given to the beloved, am I your beloved?"
The master is silent.
"Of course not." Even though I was unwilling, at this moment, I have accepted this fact.
So I asked softly, "Then why should I accept it?"
His expression became a little anxious, almost suppressing the end of my voice, and for the first time in his life, he used a commanding tone: "Wear it."
I looked at him speechlessly, his eyelashes trembled slightly, as if being stabbed by my gaze, he took the lead to look away.
"Wear it." The master repeated, with a soft tone.
I sighed secretly in my heart.
He treated me like this, not because of unknowing affection, but because he wanted to cut through the mess quickly, and cut off those past entanglements with me, so as not to cause troubles in the future.
How could the master not know?I am a vengeful temper.Let go, fulfillment, such words are never within the scope of my thinking.
Since it is useless to fight, then he blames me, I should kill him, then kill myself and let him go.
but--
He also saved me, protected me, and loved me.
Those good things to me are real.
Between me and him, who owes whom more?Who owes whom less?I really want to fight, but I can't fight to the end.
My adoptive father once said, I am stubborn like my mother.But whoever looks for someone or what reason, unless he dies, he will never let go.
That's what I've been doing too.
However, until today, I didn't understand the meaning of the second half of my foster father's words - for those things that cannot be kept, it is better to let them be free than to hold them in your hands.
Why can't you keep something?
It is the unforgettable yesterday, the jade soul crushed into flying ash, and the merciless farewell of flowing water.
If he cares about me, I am naturally willing to be with him in life and death, and any demons and monsters who obstruct me will not shake my mind in the slightest.
But he doesn't care.
Then this persistence in the mind is meaningless, and it will only become a chat for others to have fun after dinner.
I didn't want to show the idiot of begging again, and clapped my hands and smiled lightly: "It seems that if you continue to push and refuse, it will be that Zhuluo doesn't know how to praise. Since this thing is received, from today onwards, the friendship between you and me has been broken."
As I said that, I gathered the wind into a blade, cut off a tail of long hair, and let it fly in the wind.
"Lord..." I changed my words, "Yun Mo. Even if we die in this life, you and I will never see each other again."
Yun Man's eyes followed that strand of hair, and when he turned his head, he had that half-smile expression again: "Very good, as you wish."
The white silk gilt umbrella was thrown down by him, barely falling on my toes.
Yun Min didn't say any more, and walked back and forth, his figure seemed to be a little unsteady by the strong wind, but he staggered a step.
Soon, he straightened his pace, passed through layers of rain curtains, and sank into the depths of the night, where he could no longer see clearly.
I didn't touch the umbrella.
Like many years ago, I was wronged but didn't want to be known by others, so I slowly wrapped my arms around my knees and buried my head in my arms.
But this time I couldn't shed tears, and my foster father wouldn't come looking for me.
Adoptive father, foster father... I closed my eyes and said silently in my heart, from now on, Zhuluo will have no home again.You always say that the Nine Borders and the Six Realms are extremely vast, especially those towns in the mortal world, and at dusk, thousands of households will be lit with bright lights, which is really a grand sight.
But among the thousands of bright lights, none of them are lit for you and me.
What's the difference between watching or not watching this magnificent scene?
In a trance, there seems to be a very distant and erratic voice calling my name constantly.Immediately afterwards, I was hit by a hard object on the shoulder and elbow, and I was in pain. I woke up instantly, and raised my eyes in shock: "Who!"
"Hua's surname, single character cover."
Black mist surged from all directions, and gradually condensed into a faceless figure, floating lightly in mid-air, looking down at me from a high position.
He said: "Zhuluo, I will ferry you."
canopy?Even if he deliberately conceals it, I can still smell the demonic aura that seems to be there.
As the same kind, I wanted to get close to him, but subconsciously resisted: "You and I have never met, what do you mean by this?"
He laughed strangely, his five fingers spread out like shy jade lotuses, and he closed them one by one, and the continuous rain stopped suddenly.The surroundings returned to silence, only his sonorous voice said: "There is no way to immortality, it is better to fall into the demon."
If I came here for this matter, no matter how many times I ask again, my answer will always be the same: "I will not fall into a demon."
"Your master abused you and humiliated you so much, don't you really hate it in your heart? If you hate it so much, you can just say it bluntly, and I will definitely help you with all my strength."
"I blame him, but I don't hate him." After a pause, I continued, "Besides, this is a matter between me and him, and no outsiders need to intervene."
Hua Gai didn't make a sound, and manipulated the human figure formed by the condensed black mist to get close to me.
Strange to say, that face clearly lacked any facial features, but I felt a thorn in my back, and couldn't help but take two steps back: "Where do you come from?"
He didn't answer, but laughed again.
baffling.I couldn't help being annoyed: "What are you laughing at?"
He stopped laughing, and said with sarcasm: "Of course I'm laughing at you for being so stupid that you are so stupid to regard the culprit who brought you here as a life-saving straw, and even put on a play of infatuation."
I retorted: "It's not easy to use divisive tactics on me. I never believe in one-sided words, I only believe in what I see with my own eyes. If you only have this ability, I advise you to stop here."
"Stubbornness." Hua Gai snorted lightly, and a wisp of black air shot out from his fingertips, and injected it into my forehead with lightning speed, "I'll let you go back to a thousand years ago, you have to open your eyes and take a good look, what is it? Who... killed your adoptive father."
I couldn't help feeling dizzy before my eyes, and the blue sky above my head was mixed with ink and wash, making it a foggy one.I fixed my gaze, the flower forest gradually disappeared, and the surrounding furnishings rose out of thin air. After a while, I was already in the Xuandan Bamboo Boat.
The candlelight in front of the case was huge and kept shaking.Before I figured out the situation, I heard someone say: "This birthday, what wish did you make?"
How many times have I dreamed back in the middle of the night, what I miss is this gentle and gentle voice.
It's foster father!I stopped breathing suddenly, and then I couldn't stop being overjoyed, wishing I could throw myself into his arms immediately, so as to express all my thoughts over the years.
However, the body does not move at will.
I wrestled with this body secretly for a while, and finally realized that I was just a soul body, a spectator.
"Zhuluo must always be by the side of the adoptive father."
"You, after all, you are still a child who can't grow up." The tip of the nose was scraped affectionately, and the adoptive father gave me a wink, motioning for me to blow out the candles, then pushed me a bowl of longevity noodles, and said with a smile, "Come on, Taste the craft of foster father."
I bowed my head as I said, and pulled the noodles to my mouth, and then took a sip of the hot soup.
The body is warm, but the heart is cold.
I finally remembered that this was the day of my bar mitzvah thousands of years ago.To celebrate my birthday, my adoptive father gave me a top-grade spiritual artifact, Lanyuezhi, and even cooked for me himself, including a bowl of noodles.
I feel very happy, so I make a wish, hoping that every day in the future can be so happy.
And then... and then—
Why bring me back to this day?I tossed and turned for countless days and nights before I could barely escape from this nightmare.Why should I have to bear the pain of losing a loved one again?
The lingering heat of the noodle soup smoked my eyes, and I actually had the urge to cry.
At this time, there was a regular knock on the door.No more, no less, exactly three strokes.
"Father, go and see. Eat slowly, don't choke." He patiently told.
With noodles stuffed in my mouth, I responded vaguely.Looking up again, he has already walked to the door, with his back to me, talking with the visitor in a warm voice, laughing low from time to time, as if they were having a good time.
With a little peace of mind, just when he was about to lower his head, something happened suddenly.
The blade pierced the sky, tore the flesh and blood, and sank into the chest of the adoptive father, with a cold glow protruding from the back.The dark red sword tip looked like the eyes of a psychic, staring at me indifferently for a long time.
There was warmth in my eyes, and I heard my voice, almost hoarse: "Father—"
Ever since I can remember, the figure that was always tall and straight, as if it could shield me from all the wind and rain in the world, hunched up like a leaf in the wind, staggering, and would fall apart immediately.
With tears in my eyes, I flew forward and held my adoptive father's elbow, choked up and speechless.
"Why... could it be..." He panted, and looked at me in a blink of an eye, with a complicated expression, guilt and reluctance, and finally closed his eyes, all of which turned into a long sigh, "You, you don't grow up. Yifu... let me go , Don't worry."
As he spoke, he seemed to hear mournful cries, and the hand on the sword hilt in front of his chest moved slightly, trying to comfort me as he did in the past.
The weight on my body was like a thousand catties, my knees gave way and I knelt on the ground.
"Zhu Luo?" Someone walked in slowly, with a voice as clear as broken jade, "You are Zhu Luo?"
When I heard this voice, I raised my eyes stiffly. The eyes of the visitor were full of emerald green, dressed in a white robe, and the black bird totem was dazzling.
He walked in front of me, stopped, looked down at me with a warm smile on his lips: "800 years ago, you were the one brought back by Yun Fuyu?"
I was in a state of confusion, wishing I could break free from this body and forcefully ask Yun Mo what was going on.
But I couldn't, I could only let myself cry, and cursed sharply: "You killed the adoptive father, and I want your blood to pay!"
Standing up, he raised his sword and slashed at Yun Mo. Because of his grief, his attack was chaotic and disorderly.He avoided it easily, clamped the tip of the sword with two fingers, and attacked my elbow with vigor.
With a bang, the sword fell to the ground.
Taking advantage of the space, Yun Mo tapped my acupoints, and covered the back of my hand with his cold palm, forcing me to bend down and grab the hilt of the sword on Yifu's chest as he wished.
"I killed him? You are wrong."
Yun Min chuckled in my ear, held me back by the hand, all the warm blood splashed on my eyelashes and eyebrows, and a little trickled into my lips and tongue.
I tensed up, trying to retch uncontrollably.
"It's your demon nature that has not faded away, and your madness. Yun Fuyu missed the old love, and you were cut by the sword before killing the killer." He stood up leisurely, wiped the blood on the sword with a handkerchief until it was clear Hui Yiyi just gave up.
"You're talking nonsense!" I gritted my teeth. Although I couldn't move my body, my gaze was still darting around the ground, not giving up the idea of revenge.
"……look up."
It seemed that an invisible hand clamped my jaw, forcing me to raise my head.The blood also seemed to be afraid of him, not daring to touch it, the ground was dripping with filth, only the place where he stood, like the pure land of Penglai, could not be desecrated.
But I was not afraid, and waited coldly: "You either kill me, or I will let you die without a place to bury you."
"If you still remember me when you wake up, I will clean up the bed and wait."
Yun Min smiled slightly, and pointed his long fingers between my brows, taking away all my thoughts.When I opened my eyes again, I felt like falling into an eternal night, the surrounding was extremely dark, and everything was silent.
With a bang, the door was kicked open.
The leader of the Xuandan tribe held the ever-burning lamp, and the dim candlelight reflected the blood on my hands, as well as the dead body of my adoptive father who had already cooled down.
"You ungrateful beast."
"Kill him! Avenge the elder!"
"It wasn't you? Why wasn't it you? Since the elders brought you back, our Xuandan was abandoned by the gods forever, but can we still find a little bit of the glory of the past? You - ominous, damned monster!"
Shut up, shut up!
I had a headache that was about to split, so I jumped forward, my five fingers turned into claws, and pierced the leader's chest. I found the beating warm heart, and I clasped it hard——
It seemed to be raining blood.
It's so cold.
I half closed my eyes, thinking in a trance.
The man's face was distorted in pain, but with inexplicable pleasure, he insisted on sticking to my ear, and said with a grinning smile, "You...you will definitely die a terrible death."
"Bamboo Luo."
"You will..."
"...a terrible death."
Countless voices sounded at the right time, announcing to me the doomed situation I was born with.
Gradually, far away, lighter.
I broke away from the dream, and my eyes were no longer bright.
"What did you see?" Hua Gai asked.
"No." I replied blankly, "I didn't see anything."
"You saw it." He sent out a wisp of black mist, swirling around the ends of my hair, "Thousands of years ago, your most respected and admired master——Yun Mo, on the day of your coming-of-age ceremony, while the cloud covered the jade without any trace, Be wary, one blow is fatal. Then you will be accused of crimes, and you will be imprisoned and become a street mouse. Since then, everyone has criticized you and been tortured."
My breathing gradually became heavy, but I still said: "It's a bunch of nonsense. I don't remember anyone visiting the house that day, and I don't even..."
"Why don't you go on?" Hua Gai pressed harder and harder, "Actually, you are also doubting in your heart? Why is the memory of that night accidentally missing half? The dead body of your adoptive father? And how did the group of clansmen who rushed in get the news of your father's murder?"
My thoughts were in a mess, and I said coldly: "Enough! Shut up."
He asked: "You told me to shut up, is it because you are afraid of knowing the truth, or are you simply unwilling to accept this fact?"
My throat was blocked, and I was at a loss.
Overnight, I killed people and broke the precepts, making a big mistake. I wanted to commit suicide and apologize, but was stopped by Yunyi.Knowing that the evidence is convincing, he falsely claimed that the matter was open to discussion in order to save my life.
Therefore, the indignation was hard to appease, and I was pushed to the forefront, chained to the soul chain, and exiled to Xuandan Quping Peak.
For dozens of years, I was not allowed to resist or be free, and endured endless bullying and abuse all day long.
Relying on hatred, I survived, and told myself that when I survived in the future, these bullying scum would all be trampled under my feet and pay the worst price.
until I met the master.
He smiled at me and was nice to me.Those bits and pieces of the past, thinking about it now, are still vivid in my mind, and I dare not forget it for a moment.
What, could it be fake?
Trembling, I stretched out my hand, stroked the feathers on my chest, and held it firmly, only then did I feel a little at ease.Swallowing the fishy sweetness in my throat, I whispered: "You are talking nonsense. Master treats me well, he will not lie to me."
"Stubbornness!" After I finished speaking, the black mist lingering in my hair turned into a swimming dragon and penetrated directly into my heart.
The light in my eyes trembled slightly, and the scene I saw in the dream fit perfectly with the incomplete corner of the sea of consciousness.The so-called truth was finally pieced together at this moment.
Holding the soft feather in my hand, it was like being pricked by a needle. I couldn't bear the pain, so I let go of my hand suddenly, and opened my mouth to spit out a mouthful of blood.
"You only know that he saved you from fire and water, cleared you of your crimes, and gained a new life. But you don't know that the chief culprit who pushed you into this situation is the one you treat with all your heart...your master."
"..."
"He spent dozens of years destroying your defenses and sneaking in. He spent another thousand years and tried every means to make you fall in love with him with all your heart, even—" Hua Gai dragged his voice, Condensed out a hand, and lightly tapped my right arm, "I am willing to take off the immortal bone for him, and give up the immortal journey that I have been pursuing for many years."
I was poked at the sore spot, with my hands behind my back, and I didn't give him a chance to make use of it.
Taking a deep breath, I kept chanting silently, remembering not to be too sad or angry, it would be caused by demon nature, then the gain outweighs the loss.
After a while, I suppressed my anger, and I sneered: "Enough is enough? I did it voluntarily, and now I'm entrusted to no one. It's only because I'm blind. I deserve to reap the consequences. If you want to use this to persuade me to enter the demon way, why not?" Save some time. I promised my adoptive father that once I say a word, it is hard to follow. Even if I never have the chance to go to the fairyland in the future, I will never become a demon."
"So, you don't intend to avenge your adoptive father?"
"I will never forget the revenge of killing my father." I tried my best to calm my mind, "There are thousands of ways to take revenge, do I have to become a demon?"
Hua Gai tsk-tsk: "I don't know what kind of expression I will make when I hear your words under the cloud-covered jade nine springs, but it's a pity—"
A strong wind suddenly blew up on the flat ground, I turned my face slightly, raised my sleeves to block it, taking advantage of this gap, the feather hanging on my chest was snatched away by the black mist.
"Give it back to me!" I was frightened, and reached out to grab it, but it was a step too late.
The black mist ignited like fireworks, surrounding the peeping blue feather.In the blink of an eye, the wind, carrying the remaining dust, brushed across my face and rolled down.
It's over, it's over.
Without the blessing of this thing, how can you talk about sticking to your heart?Could it be that my ending...is really predestined and cannot be changed?
I maintained the posture of catching the air, and in this gust of wind, I felt a little helpless and dazed.
"It's up to the Lingyun festival, and it's still holding its own." Hua Gai laughed, "Yun Fuyu told you, where did the word Zhuluo come from?"
Not bad at all.My heart was shaken, and I simply followed his words: "What else do you know?"
He didn't answer, and asked again: "Did Yun Fuyu ever mention your mother's matter to you?"
"Not much." Whenever the mother was mentioned, the adoptive father would only say a few words, and then scribbled it.Over time, I found that he didn't want to talk more, so I stopped asking.
"Yun Fuyu really dare not tell you the truth." Hua Gai descended from mid-air, lightly touching the ground with his toes, without making any sound.
"Thousands of years ago, Xuandan's new appointed Tianming Xuanniao succeeded to the throne and was named Mianshuang. She has a heavy duty and is deeply loved by the people. Fornication, conceive a son."
"The mysterious bird of destiny is derived from the way of heaven and should be passed down from generation to generation. Therefore, in order to save the life of the fetus, she ignored the fate of the Xuandan clan and fled with the Ming clan. Xuandan sent four elders and countless elite soldiers to search for the whereabouts of Mianshuang day and night. .”
"During this period, the Ming family was arrested. Those elite soldiers came up with a clever plan and found an open space. They first used the incense to force Ming to show his original shape, and then used a knife to peel off the layer of black fox fur bit by bit. -"
A chill climbed up my spine, I couldn't bear to listen any more, I interrupted him: "Enough."
"It's not enough." Hua Gai floated to my side and whispered in my ear, "How painful should peeling be? But your father is very stubborn. In order not to reveal the whereabouts of his wife and children, he bit off his own tongue."
"He passed out several times, but was rescued again and woke up with cold water. This kind of torture lasted for three full days."
"Mian Shuang, even your mother is stubborn. After being in such a field, she still can't bear to come out of her hiding place. So the group of elite soldiers thought of a new fun."
"Yes, it's for fun. They may have wanted to use the Ming family as bait before, but later, they were purely for fun. Zhu Luo, light the sky lantern, do you know?"
I had already guessed what was going to happen next, and tremblingly wanted to cover my ears, but my hand was slapped away by the canopy.
"They found an oil barrel, wrapped your father in sackcloth, tied it to a silver gun, and then lit a fire. It was very windy that day, and the fire extinguished, and after it was extinguished, it was re-ignited. This back and forth, your father, He was burned alive by them like this. The black fox is the most elegant and noble, but he was tortured and died miserably, not even a bone left."
My biological father... was so humiliated and died?These Xuandan people keep saying that the way of the demon is evil, and the way of the demon is not benevolent.Can this behavior be called benevolence?It is clearly not as good as a monster!
I clenched my teeth, unable to keep calm anymore, my eyes gradually turned red.
"You see, it's not enough for them to spoil your father, even you. In fact, why have you ever done anything harmful? Did you kill those righteous Xuandan people? No, no. It's them I want to kill you first, if you don't fight back, you can only wait to die."
Yes, how could I be wrong?
"As for Mianshuang, she is your mother. She died not long after giving birth to you, so she summoned her best friend, Yun Fuyu, with her spiritual sense, and invited her to meet. Guess what she said to your adoptive father at that time ?”
"What did you say?" I barely recognized my own voice.
"She said that this son is a half-demon body, which is not tolerated by the world, and has a different fate. When he meets seven kills, breaks the army and greedy wolves, it is called the three limits of bamboo and Luo, and he can only be entangled with evil spirits for life. Combining with demons is a An odd number is also a catastrophe. It seems that the destiny is hard to violate. The half of the fairy bone that belongs to the mysterious bird of destiny falls on you, and it is a waste of heaven. If it is not blocked by the cloud and jade, you have been skinned and boned by your mother, and the corpse was abandoned in the wild."
It is said in the world that those who get the mysterious bird of destiny will get the Tao.
Not only that, but its fairy bones also have the miraculous effect of repairing incomplete fate.
This half of my fairy bone is actually such a precious treasure, no wonder Yun Mo plotted against me for thousands of years, and even used his beauty to seduce me, so that I fell in love with him.
And my mother whom I have never met——
I thought she should love me.
So I tried to piece together her appearance with those fragmentary words in my mind countless times, and imagined the dialogue when we reunited countless times.
She might say to me: "How has Zhuluo been doing all these years? Although mother can't accompany you for a walk, she misses you all the time."
But it turns out that she doesn't miss me, doesn't love me, and just wants me to die.I wanted to laugh, to laugh at my own failure, but I didn't even have the strength to lift the corners of my mouth.
——If only I could see Shangniangqin.
—Maybe you'll be glad for that in the future.Some people are better off seeing than seeing.
It was a prophecy.
"Later, Yun Fuyu concealed your identity in the name of traveling, intending to lure you to good deeds and make you immortal." Hua Gai's voice stopped, and he laughed suddenly, "I don't know what ecstasy soup he poured into you, it's hard to do You have believed it for so many years."
My adoptive father is my only support.
My eyes were fierce, and the words almost squeezed out between my teeth: "Father will never lie to me."
"You're wrong again." Hua Gai sighed pretendingly, "Actually, even if the immortal bone is still there, you still can't become an immortal. It's just because your fate is different, you are destined to fall into a demon yourself, but it will be sooner or later. Suppress your nature and deviate from you The way you are supposed to go will only make your mind and mind confused, your cultivation will be hindered, and you will be mediocre all your life. You have difficulty concentrating, you are not good at reading and writing, and you can't even memorize sword skills. Am I right?"
I felt as if I had been struck by lightning, speechless.
"Yun Fuyu put you out of the crowd, just to prevent you from causing harm to Jiujiang. You think he is doing it for your own good, but in fact he is doing it for the common people. He cares about the common people and lives up to the common people. What about you? "
adoptive father...
"Yunfuyu has been deceiving you from beginning to end."
I only have you, but why are you lying to me?
"The name Zhuluo has never been taken from the phrase 'Standing up to the Lingyun Festival, still holding on to the sway', but from the Three Limits of Zhuluo. What he wants is not to warn you to stick to your heart, but to warn himself that you cannot I have a soft heart for you monster."
The beliefs that had supported me for years collapsed at this moment, leaving nothing behind.
It is false to ask for immortality, it is false to accompany day and night, and it is false to be warm and affectionate.
How ridiculous.
How... pathetic.
Since I was born, I have not lived for myself for a moment.Before the bar mitzvah, I lived for my adoptive father.After the bar mitzvah, I live for the master.
I treat people with sincerity, without reservation, and what do I get in the end?
Destiny, what a destiny.
Destiny said I shouldn't stay, so my mother wanted to kill me.Destiny said that I would bring disaster to Jiujiang, so the adoptive father asked
However, seeing that the one-month period is approaching, and there is still no clue for the jade soul, I can't help but feel restless, and even my demonic instincts start to move around.
Fortunately, there is still a celestial power in his body to contend with, otherwise——
My breathing became short of breath, I really hated this half-monster body so much, my chest grew more hostile, my hands gathered strength, and I shook the ground out of several cracks one after another, only then did I manage to slow down.
When I saw the tragic scene in front of me, I felt something was wrong again. I touched the spiritual power with my fingertips and caressed the cracks, trying to restore the ground to its original state, until my eyes accidentally caught a glimpse of a crack, which seemed to be shining brightly.
My heart was beating like a drum, and I knelt and crawled forward, reaching out into the depths of the crevice, and was accidentally injured by gravel, and blood gushed out, soaking the dry land.
It hurts, but I laughed.
The double-petaled Tang flower in front of me has exactly eight petals, all of which are snow-white and crystal clear.The moonlight looks down on it, making it even more transparent, like glazed glass.
Unlucky people can't get it?
I turned out to be lucky, I turned out to be lucky too!
As if I had found a treasure, I hugged the jade soul and laughed foolishly for a long while before I came back to my senses, picked up the bamboo tablet tied around my waist, tapped it with two fingers, and the bamboo tablet turned into a kingfisher and flew in the direction of Xuandan go.
I took vain steps and sat on a boulder not far away.
This place is not far from Xuandan, the master's footsteps are faster, maybe he can arrive at dawn and enjoy the beauty of the full moon with me.If it's slower...it's okay, but I don't know if there will be a full moon tomorrow night?
Not right either.
As long as he comes, I don't care whether it's full moon or not.
Master, master, master... I kissed Yupo lightly, and my expression gradually softened.For thousands of years, every bit of him and me, I have kept in my heart and never dared to forget.When I see him, I will tell him one by one, coaxing him to forget about that dry Sangdi Ji.
I never believe in a heart of iron and stone, I only believe in sincerity and gold and stone.
I sat and waited for the moon to break through the sky, but there was no sign of anyone.
I spread my palms and added a new horizontal line next to the fourth orthographic.
It doesn't matter, it must be that there are so many trifles in the clan that he can't get away.I have been waiting for so many years, so am I afraid of waiting for this day?
The sun rises and sets, the moon rises again.
The moon rises and falls, and the sunset rises again.
This cycle goes on and on, I don't know how many days and nights have passed, I counted the orthographic characters in my palm, and now I am still short of the last horizontal line, which is the full number of six.
The January period is coming to an end.
The heart that had been revived because of the jade soul before was now covered with a layer of ice, and it was almost exhausted and unable to beat.
A few days ago I could find some excuses to excuse him, but at this moment, self-deception should stop here.
He just doesn't want to see me, that's all.
Looking up, the moon in the sky seems to be pluckable with one hand, but in fact it is out of reach.It's like my master and I, every time he embraced me and held each other tenderly, I would lie to myself that he also likes me.
Actually I know not.
His smile is too floating and too far away, like a bright moon in the water, a dream bubble.
The cold wind blows head-on, light thunder blows two or three times, black clouds turn black and cover the bright moon and clear light, Wansi is like a jumping bead, coming weakly, and then leaning like a bank bursting, gradually rushing.
I put the jade soul in my arms, sat around my knees, quietly admiring the dry mulberry in the mist and rain, without avoiding or hiding.
It is said that there is only one jade soul in thousands of miles, and it must be obtained by the lucky ones.I got it at this time, but I don't consider myself very lucky.
Because the person I'm waiting for seems to never come.
Amidst the sound of rain, the consciousness seemed to be split into two.
Some were angry: "Don't wait! If he doesn't come back, then don't wait!"
There are those who are persistent and do not regret: "I just don't give up. Even if I am not born to be tolerated by the world, I still hope that the beam of moonlight in the sky can stop for me for a moment."
This is the last night.I told myself, if he doesn't come tonight, I... really won't wait.
Suddenly, the sound of extremely heavy footsteps came from behind, breaking through the overwhelming rain, walked to my side, and stopped.I held my breath, my heart was beating like a drum, and I raised my head suddenly.
The visitor is holding a white silk gilt umbrella, even under the heavy rain, he is still as leisurely as a stroll in the courtyard.
The white clothes are not stained by rain or dust.
But my eyes were dripping with rain, it was extremely difficult to open them, and because of the cold, my teeth trembled from the cold, so I could only call softly: "Master."
"..."
"I have already found the jade soul you want, so you also promise me not to marry Di Ji, okay?"
As soon as he spoke, he was drowned in the sound of rain.
He didn't know whether he heard it or not, and silently leaned over the umbrella to cover me from the wind and rain.I was able to breathe a sigh of relief, picked up the wet and heavy sleeve corners, and wiped my face indiscriminately. I suddenly felt embarrassed and embarrassed for no reason.
I had to avoid his eyes to have the courage to hand out the jade soul. I raised my hand to my forehead, but he didn't take it for a long time.
After a long time, a sigh-like voice came from above his head: "I actually taught you to find it."
"Master." I raised my eyes and couldn't help urging, "Hurry up, this is... a betrothal gift."
His eyelashes trembled slightly, his fingertips lightly held the jade core, his expression was blank for a moment: "My good Zhuluo, you always surprise me, you make me—"
Before I had time to rejoice, I heard him stop his voice suddenly, the petals of the jade soul shattered, scattered thousands of bright lights, and disappeared without a trace.
The heavy weight in the palm of my hand suddenly lightened, I subconsciously closed my five fingers, and then slowly opened the gap.
No more, I didn't catch anything.
"...Why?" I asked lightly and slowly.
"I lied to you." He also deserved to be contemptuous, "The purpose of moving out the jade soul is just to let you retreat in the face of difficulties. The jade soul, the jade soul, is one in a thousand miles, and it must be obtained by the lucky ones, and you have never been lucky enough .”
His words are like a poisoned blade, not only gouging me out painfully, but also needing to suffer a long time after the wound has healed.
I froze and looked at him quietly.It was clearly still that delicate face, with the tails of the eyes slanting up, revealing a three-point moving expression.
I can't be more familiar...
It couldn't be more strange.
I smiled sadly and said: "For thousands of years, I have always put you first, and I have tried my best to keep your preferences in mind, observe your work and rest, and inquire about your past. I used to think that there would be no one in this world better than me. Knowing the master better. But now, I feel like I was wrong, or maybe I was not wrong, I just kept lying to myself."
"..."
"I never knew the master, never did."
His eyes froze for a moment, and then quickly returned to normal, and a decent smile gradually formed on his lips: "You have been by my side for many years, thinking of the friendship between master and servant, I promise you a mountain, a green feather, and the mansion. If you are willing, the moon chariot has been prepared outside Qiansang, and you can start the journey immediately."
Did I do so much for him because I was greedy for his money or power?
I regard him as my life, so what does he regard me as?
The demon nature is hard to restrain, leading to the greed and cruelty in the bones.My eyes were slightly cold, and my tone became strange: "Okay, what the master says is what it is. Zhu Luo figured it out. With this broken body, it is a great honor to be honored as the master of Mount Heng."
"you--"
I interrupted him: "But these are far from enough. After all, Zhu Luo has devoted himself to his master for thousands of years, hasn't he?"
"...you go ahead."
"In the future, you will be in charge of Mount Heng, and you will feel lonely after a long time of pure cultivation. Master should know this feeling? I hope you will give me a few obedient and pleasant male pets to accompany me. What kind of temperament do I like...Master It is most clear that Zhu Luo can rest assured that this matter is left to you."
"Male pet?" The smile on his lips was blown a little cold by the wind, "I won't do such lowly things."
"How could it be so?" I didn't take it seriously, "The master's flirting methods are so clever. I was hoping that you could give them a few words, so as to please me. At that time, the world will be full of luxury and money, and the music will be played day and night. I will remember my master again."
His smile faded away, he looked at me for a while, his tone seemed to be soaked in a floating ice, and he did not return to the soft words just now: "Don't rely on me... just be so presumptuous, I just..."
These words were spoken intermittently, hesitant to speak.
I couldn't understand, my heart was hurting, and I felt a vague sense of pleasure, and I said more and more sloppily: "Just what? Master wouldn't want to say that you only hugged me and kissed me? That's what I said." If I said it a few days earlier, I’m afraid I’d have to force myself to believe it. On that day, I told you clearly, don’t betray me, don’t lie to me. But you betrayed me...you deceived me! You even wanted to abandon me, Going to be engaged to someone else? Do you know that I tell myself all the time that these eyes can only look at you, this heart can only hold you, and I try my best to do it. Why can I do it, but you can't? "
His expression changed, he touched the center of my eyebrows with his fingertips, and said in a deep voice, "Zhu Luo, don't worry!"
I brushed off his hand, my eyes were red, and my chest heaved violently: "Why...why can't you?!"
He frowned, waved his sleeves out, and waved around in front of my eyes, sending a warm and clear stream, which immediately wiped away the blood in my eyes, and the hostility dissipated without a trace, followed by a slight helplessness.
Then, the neck seemed to be tied with a thin rope.I lowered my eyes in a daze, and saw the green feather hanging on my chest, exuding a radiant brilliance.
Almost made a big mistake.I flinched belatedly.
"Don't take it off in the future, you know?" The lower jaw was lifted at this moment, and the master stared at me with a rather ugly expression, as if it was not me, but him who made the ugly appearance just now.
I avoided his touch, and suddenly felt very tired: "Guan Qingyu can only be given to the beloved, am I your beloved?"
The master is silent.
"Of course not." Even though I was unwilling, at this moment, I have accepted this fact.
So I asked softly, "Then why should I accept it?"
His expression became a little anxious, almost suppressing the end of my voice, and for the first time in his life, he used a commanding tone: "Wear it."
I looked at him speechlessly, his eyelashes trembled slightly, as if being stabbed by my gaze, he took the lead to look away.
"Wear it." The master repeated, with a soft tone.
I sighed secretly in my heart.
He treated me like this, not because of unknowing affection, but because he wanted to cut through the mess quickly, and cut off those past entanglements with me, so as not to cause troubles in the future.
How could the master not know?I am a vengeful temper.Let go, fulfillment, such words are never within the scope of my thinking.
Since it is useless to fight, then he blames me, I should kill him, then kill myself and let him go.
but--
He also saved me, protected me, and loved me.
Those good things to me are real.
Between me and him, who owes whom more?Who owes whom less?I really want to fight, but I can't fight to the end.
My adoptive father once said, I am stubborn like my mother.But whoever looks for someone or what reason, unless he dies, he will never let go.
That's what I've been doing too.
However, until today, I didn't understand the meaning of the second half of my foster father's words - for those things that cannot be kept, it is better to let them be free than to hold them in your hands.
Why can't you keep something?
It is the unforgettable yesterday, the jade soul crushed into flying ash, and the merciless farewell of flowing water.
If he cares about me, I am naturally willing to be with him in life and death, and any demons and monsters who obstruct me will not shake my mind in the slightest.
But he doesn't care.
Then this persistence in the mind is meaningless, and it will only become a chat for others to have fun after dinner.
I didn't want to show the idiot of begging again, and clapped my hands and smiled lightly: "It seems that if you continue to push and refuse, it will be that Zhuluo doesn't know how to praise. Since this thing is received, from today onwards, the friendship between you and me has been broken."
As I said that, I gathered the wind into a blade, cut off a tail of long hair, and let it fly in the wind.
"Lord..." I changed my words, "Yun Mo. Even if we die in this life, you and I will never see each other again."
Yun Man's eyes followed that strand of hair, and when he turned his head, he had that half-smile expression again: "Very good, as you wish."
The white silk gilt umbrella was thrown down by him, barely falling on my toes.
Yun Min didn't say any more, and walked back and forth, his figure seemed to be a little unsteady by the strong wind, but he staggered a step.
Soon, he straightened his pace, passed through layers of rain curtains, and sank into the depths of the night, where he could no longer see clearly.
I didn't touch the umbrella.
Like many years ago, I was wronged but didn't want to be known by others, so I slowly wrapped my arms around my knees and buried my head in my arms.
But this time I couldn't shed tears, and my foster father wouldn't come looking for me.
Adoptive father, foster father... I closed my eyes and said silently in my heart, from now on, Zhuluo will have no home again.You always say that the Nine Borders and the Six Realms are extremely vast, especially those towns in the mortal world, and at dusk, thousands of households will be lit with bright lights, which is really a grand sight.
But among the thousands of bright lights, none of them are lit for you and me.
What's the difference between watching or not watching this magnificent scene?
In a trance, there seems to be a very distant and erratic voice calling my name constantly.Immediately afterwards, I was hit by a hard object on the shoulder and elbow, and I was in pain. I woke up instantly, and raised my eyes in shock: "Who!"
"Hua's surname, single character cover."
Black mist surged from all directions, and gradually condensed into a faceless figure, floating lightly in mid-air, looking down at me from a high position.
He said: "Zhuluo, I will ferry you."
canopy?Even if he deliberately conceals it, I can still smell the demonic aura that seems to be there.
As the same kind, I wanted to get close to him, but subconsciously resisted: "You and I have never met, what do you mean by this?"
He laughed strangely, his five fingers spread out like shy jade lotuses, and he closed them one by one, and the continuous rain stopped suddenly.The surroundings returned to silence, only his sonorous voice said: "There is no way to immortality, it is better to fall into the demon."
If I came here for this matter, no matter how many times I ask again, my answer will always be the same: "I will not fall into a demon."
"Your master abused you and humiliated you so much, don't you really hate it in your heart? If you hate it so much, you can just say it bluntly, and I will definitely help you with all my strength."
"I blame him, but I don't hate him." After a pause, I continued, "Besides, this is a matter between me and him, and no outsiders need to intervene."
Hua Gai didn't make a sound, and manipulated the human figure formed by the condensed black mist to get close to me.
Strange to say, that face clearly lacked any facial features, but I felt a thorn in my back, and couldn't help but take two steps back: "Where do you come from?"
He didn't answer, but laughed again.
baffling.I couldn't help being annoyed: "What are you laughing at?"
He stopped laughing, and said with sarcasm: "Of course I'm laughing at you for being so stupid that you are so stupid to regard the culprit who brought you here as a life-saving straw, and even put on a play of infatuation."
I retorted: "It's not easy to use divisive tactics on me. I never believe in one-sided words, I only believe in what I see with my own eyes. If you only have this ability, I advise you to stop here."
"Stubbornness." Hua Gai snorted lightly, and a wisp of black air shot out from his fingertips, and injected it into my forehead with lightning speed, "I'll let you go back to a thousand years ago, you have to open your eyes and take a good look, what is it? Who... killed your adoptive father."
I couldn't help feeling dizzy before my eyes, and the blue sky above my head was mixed with ink and wash, making it a foggy one.I fixed my gaze, the flower forest gradually disappeared, and the surrounding furnishings rose out of thin air. After a while, I was already in the Xuandan Bamboo Boat.
The candlelight in front of the case was huge and kept shaking.Before I figured out the situation, I heard someone say: "This birthday, what wish did you make?"
How many times have I dreamed back in the middle of the night, what I miss is this gentle and gentle voice.
It's foster father!I stopped breathing suddenly, and then I couldn't stop being overjoyed, wishing I could throw myself into his arms immediately, so as to express all my thoughts over the years.
However, the body does not move at will.
I wrestled with this body secretly for a while, and finally realized that I was just a soul body, a spectator.
"Zhuluo must always be by the side of the adoptive father."
"You, after all, you are still a child who can't grow up." The tip of the nose was scraped affectionately, and the adoptive father gave me a wink, motioning for me to blow out the candles, then pushed me a bowl of longevity noodles, and said with a smile, "Come on, Taste the craft of foster father."
I bowed my head as I said, and pulled the noodles to my mouth, and then took a sip of the hot soup.
The body is warm, but the heart is cold.
I finally remembered that this was the day of my bar mitzvah thousands of years ago.To celebrate my birthday, my adoptive father gave me a top-grade spiritual artifact, Lanyuezhi, and even cooked for me himself, including a bowl of noodles.
I feel very happy, so I make a wish, hoping that every day in the future can be so happy.
And then... and then—
Why bring me back to this day?I tossed and turned for countless days and nights before I could barely escape from this nightmare.Why should I have to bear the pain of losing a loved one again?
The lingering heat of the noodle soup smoked my eyes, and I actually had the urge to cry.
At this time, there was a regular knock on the door.No more, no less, exactly three strokes.
"Father, go and see. Eat slowly, don't choke." He patiently told.
With noodles stuffed in my mouth, I responded vaguely.Looking up again, he has already walked to the door, with his back to me, talking with the visitor in a warm voice, laughing low from time to time, as if they were having a good time.
With a little peace of mind, just when he was about to lower his head, something happened suddenly.
The blade pierced the sky, tore the flesh and blood, and sank into the chest of the adoptive father, with a cold glow protruding from the back.The dark red sword tip looked like the eyes of a psychic, staring at me indifferently for a long time.
There was warmth in my eyes, and I heard my voice, almost hoarse: "Father—"
Ever since I can remember, the figure that was always tall and straight, as if it could shield me from all the wind and rain in the world, hunched up like a leaf in the wind, staggering, and would fall apart immediately.
With tears in my eyes, I flew forward and held my adoptive father's elbow, choked up and speechless.
"Why... could it be..." He panted, and looked at me in a blink of an eye, with a complicated expression, guilt and reluctance, and finally closed his eyes, all of which turned into a long sigh, "You, you don't grow up. Yifu... let me go , Don't worry."
As he spoke, he seemed to hear mournful cries, and the hand on the sword hilt in front of his chest moved slightly, trying to comfort me as he did in the past.
The weight on my body was like a thousand catties, my knees gave way and I knelt on the ground.
"Zhu Luo?" Someone walked in slowly, with a voice as clear as broken jade, "You are Zhu Luo?"
When I heard this voice, I raised my eyes stiffly. The eyes of the visitor were full of emerald green, dressed in a white robe, and the black bird totem was dazzling.
He walked in front of me, stopped, looked down at me with a warm smile on his lips: "800 years ago, you were the one brought back by Yun Fuyu?"
I was in a state of confusion, wishing I could break free from this body and forcefully ask Yun Mo what was going on.
But I couldn't, I could only let myself cry, and cursed sharply: "You killed the adoptive father, and I want your blood to pay!"
Standing up, he raised his sword and slashed at Yun Mo. Because of his grief, his attack was chaotic and disorderly.He avoided it easily, clamped the tip of the sword with two fingers, and attacked my elbow with vigor.
With a bang, the sword fell to the ground.
Taking advantage of the space, Yun Mo tapped my acupoints, and covered the back of my hand with his cold palm, forcing me to bend down and grab the hilt of the sword on Yifu's chest as he wished.
"I killed him? You are wrong."
Yun Min chuckled in my ear, held me back by the hand, all the warm blood splashed on my eyelashes and eyebrows, and a little trickled into my lips and tongue.
I tensed up, trying to retch uncontrollably.
"It's your demon nature that has not faded away, and your madness. Yun Fuyu missed the old love, and you were cut by the sword before killing the killer." He stood up leisurely, wiped the blood on the sword with a handkerchief until it was clear Hui Yiyi just gave up.
"You're talking nonsense!" I gritted my teeth. Although I couldn't move my body, my gaze was still darting around the ground, not giving up the idea of revenge.
"……look up."
It seemed that an invisible hand clamped my jaw, forcing me to raise my head.The blood also seemed to be afraid of him, not daring to touch it, the ground was dripping with filth, only the place where he stood, like the pure land of Penglai, could not be desecrated.
But I was not afraid, and waited coldly: "You either kill me, or I will let you die without a place to bury you."
"If you still remember me when you wake up, I will clean up the bed and wait."
Yun Min smiled slightly, and pointed his long fingers between my brows, taking away all my thoughts.When I opened my eyes again, I felt like falling into an eternal night, the surrounding was extremely dark, and everything was silent.
With a bang, the door was kicked open.
The leader of the Xuandan tribe held the ever-burning lamp, and the dim candlelight reflected the blood on my hands, as well as the dead body of my adoptive father who had already cooled down.
"You ungrateful beast."
"Kill him! Avenge the elder!"
"It wasn't you? Why wasn't it you? Since the elders brought you back, our Xuandan was abandoned by the gods forever, but can we still find a little bit of the glory of the past? You - ominous, damned monster!"
Shut up, shut up!
I had a headache that was about to split, so I jumped forward, my five fingers turned into claws, and pierced the leader's chest. I found the beating warm heart, and I clasped it hard——
It seemed to be raining blood.
It's so cold.
I half closed my eyes, thinking in a trance.
The man's face was distorted in pain, but with inexplicable pleasure, he insisted on sticking to my ear, and said with a grinning smile, "You...you will definitely die a terrible death."
"Bamboo Luo."
"You will..."
"...a terrible death."
Countless voices sounded at the right time, announcing to me the doomed situation I was born with.
Gradually, far away, lighter.
I broke away from the dream, and my eyes were no longer bright.
"What did you see?" Hua Gai asked.
"No." I replied blankly, "I didn't see anything."
"You saw it." He sent out a wisp of black mist, swirling around the ends of my hair, "Thousands of years ago, your most respected and admired master——Yun Mo, on the day of your coming-of-age ceremony, while the cloud covered the jade without any trace, Be wary, one blow is fatal. Then you will be accused of crimes, and you will be imprisoned and become a street mouse. Since then, everyone has criticized you and been tortured."
My breathing gradually became heavy, but I still said: "It's a bunch of nonsense. I don't remember anyone visiting the house that day, and I don't even..."
"Why don't you go on?" Hua Gai pressed harder and harder, "Actually, you are also doubting in your heart? Why is the memory of that night accidentally missing half? The dead body of your adoptive father? And how did the group of clansmen who rushed in get the news of your father's murder?"
My thoughts were in a mess, and I said coldly: "Enough! Shut up."
He asked: "You told me to shut up, is it because you are afraid of knowing the truth, or are you simply unwilling to accept this fact?"
My throat was blocked, and I was at a loss.
Overnight, I killed people and broke the precepts, making a big mistake. I wanted to commit suicide and apologize, but was stopped by Yunyi.Knowing that the evidence is convincing, he falsely claimed that the matter was open to discussion in order to save my life.
Therefore, the indignation was hard to appease, and I was pushed to the forefront, chained to the soul chain, and exiled to Xuandan Quping Peak.
For dozens of years, I was not allowed to resist or be free, and endured endless bullying and abuse all day long.
Relying on hatred, I survived, and told myself that when I survived in the future, these bullying scum would all be trampled under my feet and pay the worst price.
until I met the master.
He smiled at me and was nice to me.Those bits and pieces of the past, thinking about it now, are still vivid in my mind, and I dare not forget it for a moment.
What, could it be fake?
Trembling, I stretched out my hand, stroked the feathers on my chest, and held it firmly, only then did I feel a little at ease.Swallowing the fishy sweetness in my throat, I whispered: "You are talking nonsense. Master treats me well, he will not lie to me."
"Stubbornness!" After I finished speaking, the black mist lingering in my hair turned into a swimming dragon and penetrated directly into my heart.
The light in my eyes trembled slightly, and the scene I saw in the dream fit perfectly with the incomplete corner of the sea of consciousness.The so-called truth was finally pieced together at this moment.
Holding the soft feather in my hand, it was like being pricked by a needle. I couldn't bear the pain, so I let go of my hand suddenly, and opened my mouth to spit out a mouthful of blood.
"You only know that he saved you from fire and water, cleared you of your crimes, and gained a new life. But you don't know that the chief culprit who pushed you into this situation is the one you treat with all your heart...your master."
"..."
"He spent dozens of years destroying your defenses and sneaking in. He spent another thousand years and tried every means to make you fall in love with him with all your heart, even—" Hua Gai dragged his voice, Condensed out a hand, and lightly tapped my right arm, "I am willing to take off the immortal bone for him, and give up the immortal journey that I have been pursuing for many years."
I was poked at the sore spot, with my hands behind my back, and I didn't give him a chance to make use of it.
Taking a deep breath, I kept chanting silently, remembering not to be too sad or angry, it would be caused by demon nature, then the gain outweighs the loss.
After a while, I suppressed my anger, and I sneered: "Enough is enough? I did it voluntarily, and now I'm entrusted to no one. It's only because I'm blind. I deserve to reap the consequences. If you want to use this to persuade me to enter the demon way, why not?" Save some time. I promised my adoptive father that once I say a word, it is hard to follow. Even if I never have the chance to go to the fairyland in the future, I will never become a demon."
"So, you don't intend to avenge your adoptive father?"
"I will never forget the revenge of killing my father." I tried my best to calm my mind, "There are thousands of ways to take revenge, do I have to become a demon?"
Hua Gai tsk-tsk: "I don't know what kind of expression I will make when I hear your words under the cloud-covered jade nine springs, but it's a pity—"
A strong wind suddenly blew up on the flat ground, I turned my face slightly, raised my sleeves to block it, taking advantage of this gap, the feather hanging on my chest was snatched away by the black mist.
"Give it back to me!" I was frightened, and reached out to grab it, but it was a step too late.
The black mist ignited like fireworks, surrounding the peeping blue feather.In the blink of an eye, the wind, carrying the remaining dust, brushed across my face and rolled down.
It's over, it's over.
Without the blessing of this thing, how can you talk about sticking to your heart?Could it be that my ending...is really predestined and cannot be changed?
I maintained the posture of catching the air, and in this gust of wind, I felt a little helpless and dazed.
"It's up to the Lingyun festival, and it's still holding its own." Hua Gai laughed, "Yun Fuyu told you, where did the word Zhuluo come from?"
Not bad at all.My heart was shaken, and I simply followed his words: "What else do you know?"
He didn't answer, and asked again: "Did Yun Fuyu ever mention your mother's matter to you?"
"Not much." Whenever the mother was mentioned, the adoptive father would only say a few words, and then scribbled it.Over time, I found that he didn't want to talk more, so I stopped asking.
"Yun Fuyu really dare not tell you the truth." Hua Gai descended from mid-air, lightly touching the ground with his toes, without making any sound.
"Thousands of years ago, Xuandan's new appointed Tianming Xuanniao succeeded to the throne and was named Mianshuang. She has a heavy duty and is deeply loved by the people. Fornication, conceive a son."
"The mysterious bird of destiny is derived from the way of heaven and should be passed down from generation to generation. Therefore, in order to save the life of the fetus, she ignored the fate of the Xuandan clan and fled with the Ming clan. Xuandan sent four elders and countless elite soldiers to search for the whereabouts of Mianshuang day and night. .”
"During this period, the Ming family was arrested. Those elite soldiers came up with a clever plan and found an open space. They first used the incense to force Ming to show his original shape, and then used a knife to peel off the layer of black fox fur bit by bit. -"
A chill climbed up my spine, I couldn't bear to listen any more, I interrupted him: "Enough."
"It's not enough." Hua Gai floated to my side and whispered in my ear, "How painful should peeling be? But your father is very stubborn. In order not to reveal the whereabouts of his wife and children, he bit off his own tongue."
"He passed out several times, but was rescued again and woke up with cold water. This kind of torture lasted for three full days."
"Mian Shuang, even your mother is stubborn. After being in such a field, she still can't bear to come out of her hiding place. So the group of elite soldiers thought of a new fun."
"Yes, it's for fun. They may have wanted to use the Ming family as bait before, but later, they were purely for fun. Zhu Luo, light the sky lantern, do you know?"
I had already guessed what was going to happen next, and tremblingly wanted to cover my ears, but my hand was slapped away by the canopy.
"They found an oil barrel, wrapped your father in sackcloth, tied it to a silver gun, and then lit a fire. It was very windy that day, and the fire extinguished, and after it was extinguished, it was re-ignited. This back and forth, your father, He was burned alive by them like this. The black fox is the most elegant and noble, but he was tortured and died miserably, not even a bone left."
My biological father... was so humiliated and died?These Xuandan people keep saying that the way of the demon is evil, and the way of the demon is not benevolent.Can this behavior be called benevolence?It is clearly not as good as a monster!
I clenched my teeth, unable to keep calm anymore, my eyes gradually turned red.
"You see, it's not enough for them to spoil your father, even you. In fact, why have you ever done anything harmful? Did you kill those righteous Xuandan people? No, no. It's them I want to kill you first, if you don't fight back, you can only wait to die."
Yes, how could I be wrong?
"As for Mianshuang, she is your mother. She died not long after giving birth to you, so she summoned her best friend, Yun Fuyu, with her spiritual sense, and invited her to meet. Guess what she said to your adoptive father at that time ?”
"What did you say?" I barely recognized my own voice.
"She said that this son is a half-demon body, which is not tolerated by the world, and has a different fate. When he meets seven kills, breaks the army and greedy wolves, it is called the three limits of bamboo and Luo, and he can only be entangled with evil spirits for life. Combining with demons is a An odd number is also a catastrophe. It seems that the destiny is hard to violate. The half of the fairy bone that belongs to the mysterious bird of destiny falls on you, and it is a waste of heaven. If it is not blocked by the cloud and jade, you have been skinned and boned by your mother, and the corpse was abandoned in the wild."
It is said in the world that those who get the mysterious bird of destiny will get the Tao.
Not only that, but its fairy bones also have the miraculous effect of repairing incomplete fate.
This half of my fairy bone is actually such a precious treasure, no wonder Yun Mo plotted against me for thousands of years, and even used his beauty to seduce me, so that I fell in love with him.
And my mother whom I have never met——
I thought she should love me.
So I tried to piece together her appearance with those fragmentary words in my mind countless times, and imagined the dialogue when we reunited countless times.
She might say to me: "How has Zhuluo been doing all these years? Although mother can't accompany you for a walk, she misses you all the time."
But it turns out that she doesn't miss me, doesn't love me, and just wants me to die.I wanted to laugh, to laugh at my own failure, but I didn't even have the strength to lift the corners of my mouth.
——If only I could see Shangniangqin.
—Maybe you'll be glad for that in the future.Some people are better off seeing than seeing.
It was a prophecy.
"Later, Yun Fuyu concealed your identity in the name of traveling, intending to lure you to good deeds and make you immortal." Hua Gai's voice stopped, and he laughed suddenly, "I don't know what ecstasy soup he poured into you, it's hard to do You have believed it for so many years."
My adoptive father is my only support.
My eyes were fierce, and the words almost squeezed out between my teeth: "Father will never lie to me."
"You're wrong again." Hua Gai sighed pretendingly, "Actually, even if the immortal bone is still there, you still can't become an immortal. It's just because your fate is different, you are destined to fall into a demon yourself, but it will be sooner or later. Suppress your nature and deviate from you The way you are supposed to go will only make your mind and mind confused, your cultivation will be hindered, and you will be mediocre all your life. You have difficulty concentrating, you are not good at reading and writing, and you can't even memorize sword skills. Am I right?"
I felt as if I had been struck by lightning, speechless.
"Yun Fuyu put you out of the crowd, just to prevent you from causing harm to Jiujiang. You think he is doing it for your own good, but in fact he is doing it for the common people. He cares about the common people and lives up to the common people. What about you? "
adoptive father...
"Yunfuyu has been deceiving you from beginning to end."
I only have you, but why are you lying to me?
"The name Zhuluo has never been taken from the phrase 'Standing up to the Lingyun Festival, still holding on to the sway', but from the Three Limits of Zhuluo. What he wants is not to warn you to stick to your heart, but to warn himself that you cannot I have a soft heart for you monster."
The beliefs that had supported me for years collapsed at this moment, leaving nothing behind.
It is false to ask for immortality, it is false to accompany day and night, and it is false to be warm and affectionate.
How ridiculous.
How... pathetic.
Since I was born, I have not lived for myself for a moment.Before the bar mitzvah, I lived for my adoptive father.After the bar mitzvah, I live for the master.
I treat people with sincerity, without reservation, and what do I get in the end?
Destiny, what a destiny.
Destiny said I shouldn't stay, so my mother wanted to kill me.Destiny said that I would bring disaster to Jiujiang, so the adoptive father asked
