I have a deep love for Zhenjun
Chapter 88: This Remnant Candlelight Part 2
On the day when Xuandan was bloodbathed, Hua Gai drew up two routes, and he and I would separate to outflank them.
In order to avoid getting sick halfway, I inhaled two extra pillars of rising heaven spirit incense in advance to ensure that my consciousness was not hindered and my speech was clear, so I led Ming Liao to attack from the outside.
Thanks to the fact that I have been in Xuandan for a thousand years, I am very familiar with the four-element profound formation, it is practically useless and can come and go freely.
Because it was a surprise attack, our side took the lead.I easily subdued the three elders with one enemy, but Yun Yi couldn't find them everywhere, no matter how I tortured them to extract a confession, those elders all looked dull and didn't say a word.
The whereabouts of the clouds are unpredictable, and the canopy is also missing, which makes me a little concerned.Ming Liao persuaded, saying that Yunyi probably knew that he was invincible, avoided the eyes and ears of the demon world, and rushed to inform the emperor, it is not suitable to stay for a long time now, the best policy is to evacuate as soon as possible.
Just as I was about to nod, I fell ill again.
Strange, haven't I just smoked Shengxiao Lingxiang?
Why doesn't it work?
Ming Liao's voice was approaching and far away in my ears. I was already a little dazed, but when I was disturbed by this noise, I became even more disturbed, and told him to shut up sternly.
My chest rose and fell violently, my eyes grew colder, and I ordered all the monsters to search the entire Xuandan, tie up the whole family and lead them to me, waiting to be dealt with.
Soon, the group of lambs waiting to be slaughtered lay softly under my feet, trembling and weeping.
I walked back and forth with a smile, taking all the expressions of fear into my eyes.
The one with the red headband once kicked me in the chest.The one with the green collar spat on my face...
I recognize it, I recognize it all.
The dozens of years of being trapped in Xuandan Quping Peak, to be precise, were three thousand six hundred and eighty four days.
I can't sleep at night.
The only thing I can do is to close my eyes, repeatedly describe their appearance, review their tone of voice, and imagine how to cut them into pieces to vent my evil fire.
So living is no longer a suffering, but a hope.
How fresh.I said indifferently, when they bullied me, did I ever think that one day I would turn around and hold their power of life and death in my hands?
All the pain that was inflicted on me and my biological father—
Today, I will pay back twice as much.
As for those old and weak women and children, they have never had much contact with me on weekdays.Since they didn't provoke me, then...do you want to let them go?
I was still shaking, my spiritual consciousness suddenly vibrated and stirred, and hostility flowed into my limbs with majestic force.
The surrounding scene was covered with a strange red light, those crying, begging for mercy, and terrified faces were all distorted at this moment and turned into evil ghosts, wanting to pounce on me with bared teeth and claws.
"...No one will be left behind." I said coldly, "The hatred of exterminating the clan is irreconcilable. My heart is soft on them, and it will only leave a source of disaster."
When the words fell, everything in the world was silent, except for the sound of the heartbeat like thunder, accompanied by dense whispers like drumbeats.
"Kill, kill, kill..."
Louder and louder, until it takes up all my thoughts.
I wandered among the crowd, and the Moon Lane Branch was transformed into a sharp blade, every time I swung it, I would cut off a head.
A fishy wind was lingering at the tip of my nose, and my face and clothes were splashed with blood, and then slowly fell to the ground, as if condensed into a sea.
My body was hot with excitement, but my heart was like a cold pool. I was confused for a moment, but it was quickly replaced by distorted pleasure.
Cloud Fuyu, when you gave me the Lanyue Branch back then, you said it was a high-grade spiritual tool, which can be changed at will, and I hope I can use it on the right path...
Well, do you know?
Will you know under the Nine Springs?
I have reneged on my promise to you, and I have become a shameless monster.And the common people you want to protect, as well as these people of Xuandan, will eventually die under the branches of Lanyue.
If you know, you will regret it.
You will regret that you stopped Mianshuang from taking my skin and bones at that time, and you will regret that you have taught me carefully and carefully.Maybe, you will point your nose and scold me, saying that half-demons are all mud and bastards that can't support the wall!
However, I don't regret it.
It is much happier to liberate one's nature and do evil recklessly than to be a good person who endures humiliation.
Yun Fuyu, fortunately you are dead.
Good thing you died!
I kicked up and kicked the kneeling body in front of me to the ground.
Why is it called a shell?Because I can't see his face clearly, and I don't care about his appearance.He is the face of all living beings, he can be anyone...whether he has bullied me or suffered innocently.
Anyway, they all lead to the same goal by different routes.
The soles of the boots touched his chest, and the tip of the sword, which was transformed from a moon branch, rubbed against his neck with a touch of tenderness.
"Let, let me go... please."
He is crying, he is begging me.
Does he know?When I was trapped in Xuandan Quping Peak, I also shouted in my heart——
I want to say, please let me go!I didn't kill Yun Fuyu, nor did I intentionally kill those Xuandan subjects.
It's them!It was they who wanted to kill me first!
Alright... Even if I made a mistake in protecting myself, I am willing to pay for my sin with my life. After all, it is only right and proper to kill someone to pay for his life.But why don't you give me a good time?Are you trying to humiliate me with some infamous means?
Could it be that a half-demon is born lowly?
Is it because I am a half-demon that I should be abandoned, deceived, and used as a matter of course?
It's so unfair.
So I laughed and said happily, "Tit for tat is fair."
After speaking, the sword was retracted, and the head fell off in response.
Kicking away the muddy body, I closed my eyes and looked around, and there was no living thing around, so I was able to dissipate the qi, and my mind returned to clarity.
After only using half a cup of tea, Wushan Xuandan was already covered with bones, rivers of blood flowed, the air was filled with stench of rust, and the beautiful scenery of the past could no longer be found.
My complexion changed, and I almost felt sick.
The euphoria just now dissipated in an instant, leaving only a lingering voice in my ear, repeating indifferently: "Look at you, what the hell have you become?"
I……
I am extremely vicious, killing "innocents" indiscriminately, even unarmed old and weak women and children, this is an unforgivable crime.
There are countless ghosts under the sword, and there will be more in the future.
Soon, I might even forget who I am, and turn into a monster that scares the world.
never mind.
Now that I have decided to embark on this road of no return, I want the destiny to be afraid of me and afraid of me.
As long as the result is as expected, I don't care about the price I have to pay, nor do I care, let alone regret it.
A hand was put on my shoulder, I looked sideways, my eyes were full of worry, and I opened my mouth to speak.I shook my head at him, avoiding the scene of purgatory out of the corner of my eye, and asked, "Where is the canopy?"
Ming Liao said: "Just now a demon came to report, saying that Guardian Hua and Yunyi were in a fight, and it was hard to tell which was better. Yunyi was accidentally forced to retreat. The guardian's slander is serious, and he needs to adjust his breath as soon as possible, and it is difficult to stay here for a long time. Yes. Therefore, we must hurry up...we must find Zhaohua before the Immortal Realm mobilizes troops."
Without further ado, I sent away all the monsters, leaving only Ming Liao to go to the Sleeping Water Stream with me.The wind from my palm broke the water curtain, I jumped forward, and as soon as my toes landed, I called out softly, "Zhaohua?"
The sound of water trickling, continuous like a net, easily overwhelmed my voice.
The further you go into the depths, the colder the surroundings become, and the mist turns into icicles, hanging on the upper side of the stone wall, reflecting the brilliance.
Until the end of the Mianshui stream, I still didn't meet anyone. Instead, I saw a coffin carved out of ice and snow. Small holes were cut at the left and right ends, and jade chains were threaded through it, and it was placed in the air on a high platform.
The light mist is like green smoke, and it is also like flower branches and vines, weaving into a huge silkworm chrysalis, wrapping all the ice coffins inside.
"...Jade mat." Ming Liao observed carefully, "Jade mat and ice coffin."
"What is that?"
"This coffin was originally made for the dead so that the body would not rot. Later, someone discovered that if a living thing is sealed in the coffin and nourished by its vitality, the person who enters the coffin can have endless life, but the price is also tragic. -"
"What...the price?"
"He will never wake up again." Ming Liao sighed softly, "The eternity obtained in this way is no longer eternity, but obsession."
My mind was shaken, I swung my sword to cut off the jade chain, gathered the wind in my palm, caught the falling ice coffin from the sky, and placed it on the ground stably.
I hurried forward, waiting to see the face of the person in the ice coffin, the cold current blowing around me almost froze me alive.
"You said..." My teeth were chattering, "Zhaohua won't wake up again?"
Those light gray phoenix eyes, sometimes cold and arrogant, sometimes narrow, sometimes gentle, closed into a line like a moon, and the long eyelashes cast light blue shadows, making the face more radiant and fair, without any signs of exhaustion.
I want to check on Zhaohua.
However, as soon as I stretched out my hand, I suddenly realized——
Just now, because I violated the commandment of killing, my hands were extremely dirty. Compared with his spotless posture, I couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed and a bit inhumane.
Subconsciously want to rub the hem of the clothes, but even my blue clothes have long since lost their previous color.The old blood splattered, was covered by new blood, and finally mixed into a blackish red.
The icy mist was removed from my nose, and only the smell of iron rust silently permeated my flesh, heart, and spiritual consciousness...
Penetrate all of me.
"Zhaohua, Zhaohua..."
Every time I called him and looked at him more, my embarrassment and sorrow deepened.
Finally, I couldn't bear the suffering any longer, and turned my eyes away: "Ming Liao, you bring the ice coffin, follow me back to Yifeng Hanxiu first."
After leaving the Mianshuijian, I put all my energy into attacking the fairy world, but unexpectedly, I didn't see any suspected pursuers until I entered the jurisdiction of the demon world.
The suppression of Wushan Xuandan this time can be described as a complete victory, not even a single soldier was lost.
This was really too smooth, and it was a bit strange.
Could it be that Yun Man dug a hole for me to jump into with Xuan Dan as bait?I really don't understand, I have nothing now, how on earth does he want to use me?
What else do you want from me?
As soon as the thought came up, I felt a splitting headache, and my mind was so confused that it was difficult to continue thinking, so I had to light up the incense of ascending heaven as soon as possible.
These... are small things.
Since it's a trivial matter, if you don't understand it, don't think about it.
My cultivation base has greatly increased now, and after a few years, I will practice "Jade Wing Butterfly Sha" to the perfect state, who in the six realms will be able to compare with me?
Come one, I will kill one.Come two, I'll kill a pair.
In order to break the jade mat ice coffin, Huagai read all the wonderful books and found a good plan for me.
——The city of Yunzhou in the human world, where the treasure mirroring the mirage has been enshrined for generations, which can break the fog barrier, extradite the lost traveler, and connect with the lost soul.
The treasures of towns and cities should not be borrowed at will, but some low-level means must be used, such as stealing and robbing.
Ming Liao advised me to be cautious, Yunzhou City is directly under the jurisdiction of Kyoto.If this trip reveals their whereabouts, it will be inappropriate to accrue grievances or fight at worst.
The rising spirit incense was still burning spontaneously, and I let my thoughts intertwine and overlap with the wisps of green smoke, swinging unsteadily across the window lattice, and drifting into the distance.
After a while, I said, "There is no need to persuade me anymore, I have made up my mind on this matter."
Stealing, of course, is more appropriate alone.
I rejected Ming Liao's proposal and waited patiently in Yunzhou City for half a month based on Hua Gai's information.Half a month later, the city lord Luo Hanye went to the capital in person.
There is no doubt that tonight is the best time to start.
I read the map of Yunzhou City every day, and I have already memorized the route by heart.At night, I will pretend to be a red bead swallowtail and sneak into the underground palace of Yunzhou.
There are many organs that can stop mediocre people, but they can't stop me.
I broke through the hidden compartment, snatched the mirage, and inspected it carefully, and found that although this object is a treasure, its appearance is not eye-catching, like an ordinary bronze mirror.
Time was running out, I put the real thing in my bag, and imagining a fake one, set it in the hidden compartment according to the previous arrangement, and pushed the buckle to close it, just to hide it for a while longer.
After borrowing it, I will return Ying Mirage intact.
Although the human world will come under my control sooner or later, I don't care for things obtained by stealing or cheating.
Just as I was about to repeat the old trick and return back the same way as the red bead swallowtail, my eyes flickered, the foreground objects were either virtual or real, and it was hard to see clearly.
The hostility gradually surged up, and I secretly thought something was wrong, if "Jade Wing Butterfly" broke out at this moment, I might slaughter the whole city of Yunzhou, this is not the purpose of my trip.
I sat down cross-legged, and quickly sealed the two large acupuncture points on my shoulders, trying to straighten out my inner breath by meditating, so as to suspend the hostility.
Maybe it's because I'm in a peaceful state of mind today, and this response has really achieved success. I only need to run for another half a week, and I can completely resolve this hostility.
At this moment, the organ not far from the dark room roared.In a short time, the stone gate was broken, and the sound of chaotic footsteps poured in.
"Sir, you really have a clever plan. There really are thieves trying to plot my treasures in Yunzhou!"
"The thief, die!"
I turned a deaf ear and thought silently, just wait a little longer, wait a little longer...
The strong wind hits my face, and the cold light hits my heart directly.
I don't dodge or evade, I plan to take this sword forcefully, and after restraining "Jade Wing Butterfly", I will teach him some lessons.
But I don't know why, the sword tip of the comer had already reached my heart, and he took a sword flower behind his back, and then stabbed at my shoulder, breaking the acupuncture point that I sealed.
The inner breath froze for an instant, and the hostility that had been retreating just now counterattacked, with even more force.
All that was lost, I thought.
When I woke up again, I was standing on the bustling long street, looking around blankly.
Before those stalls could be put away, several rows of lanterns were hanging high, emitting warm orange soft light, but the bright white rice paper was splashed with several handfuls of blood, like a winter plum adorning it.
I reached out to touch it, and could still feel a little warmth.
The surrounding area is very quiet and there is no sound.
I only heard my own heartbeat, one slowed down, one slowed down.
As if the end is approaching, there is no more interest in life.
I stood silently for a long while, and when the lost three souls returned to their positions, I seemed to come back to life and walked forward.
Count each corpse as you pass—
one two Three……
The further back I counted, the more sluggish my thoughts became.
Twelve, fourteen, nineteen...
Nineteen Next, how much should it be?
Strange, I used to be the best at counting sheep, and I could count up to a thousand without stumbling.Why can't I count down to nineteen now?
I suddenly stopped my pace and turned around to look, my gaze swiveled around the pool of blood, and then stopped on those countless corpses, trying to follow to the end, but it seemed to be in a dead end.
There is no end to be found, nor a beginning to be found.
I was almost a little confused thinking——
Where is this place?
Why am I here?
Who are these people?
Did they all die by my hands?
Recently, my memory seems to be getting worse...
I had a splitting headache, I subconsciously stretched out my hand to rub Songmeifeng, but saw that the raised palm was covered with mottled blood, as if it had been soaked in a pool of blood, but I didn't feel pain, it was really strange.
What's even more strange is that I have an extra bronze mirror in my pocket, which looks so ordinary that it doesn't even qualify to be included in my collection.
Just as he thought of throwing it away, his fingertips gripped the waste even tighter.It's like seeing some rare treasure, no matter what, you don't want to let it go, you clamor secretly with me, and you don't want to compromise.
- can not throw.Take it quickly and save a person.
Who am I going to save?
— is a very important person.
Do I have someone important?
— Yes, yes... have you forgotten?He abandoned the red and followed the white, just want to win your favor.He demeaned himself just to make you laugh.He inquired about your preferences, peeked into your past, and knew all your ugliness and embarrassment, but he never treated each other with cold eyes or bad words.
——He seems to be reluctant to see you in pain, sad, or in danger.More importantly, he never lied to you or used you.
He treats me so well, so how can I treat him?
——You always make him sad, but he never blames you.
How could there be such an inexplicable person in this world?My heart felt sour.Then what is his last name?
—— Zhaohua, his name is Zhaohua.
It turned out that his name was Zhaohua.
Jinghou Zhaohua, people only celebrate.As the name suggests, it is really a beauty that daunts me.
No wonder... I stared at the mirror in my hand and thought in a daze, no wonder I wanted to save him.
After obtaining the mirage, Hua Gai will cast spells on Zhaohua immediately, and no foreign objects will be disturbed within seven days.
I readily agreed, but before that, I wanted to be alone with Zhaohua for a while.
The ice coffin dissipated the cold air, making his clear eyebrows and eyes very hazy.I watched quietly for a while, pushed away the layer of cloud and mists, and lightly touched the center of his brow with my fingertips, which were flushed from scrubbing, with very clear intentions.
I want to know what happened on Linlang Tianque that day.
Close your eyes.
Countless scenes pass by one by one like a fleeting glance.
Yun Mo's subordinates unexpectedly included the general of the divine beast Cang Tian, and joined hands with Qian Sang and Dong Ji to force Zhao Lan to abdicate and make way for the virtuous.Knowing that the situation was over, Zhao Lan never even resisted, a glass of poisoned wine fell into her throat, and her soul was lost for nine days.
Zhaohua was rewarded, regardless of his injuries, he forced his way out of Qiongguantian, causing the qi and blood to flow backwards, making it difficult to fight.Or to put it another way... Even if he has the ability to reach the sky, he is powerless under the irreversible defeat.
Zhaohua should have died.
It was Empress Fuling who risked her life to fight, forcing Yun Mo to make a blood oath with her, ordering her not to hurt Zhaohua in the slightest forever.
Before she died, she smiled at Zhaohua: "What you said at that time, in fact, my mother never forgot. There is a saying from the ancestors, and the people of Xianyin should live in a chic and unrestrained way."
"From today, my son, you are finally no longer a crane in a cage."
"Don't complain, don't hate, don't cry... This is not decay, but rebirth."
"Queen, I'm really happy for you."
I suddenly withdrew my fingertips, only to see a drop of water rolling straight down, breaking through the lingering mist, falling on Zhaohua's eyelashes, trembling gently, flowing quietly along the veins on the face, as if extremely sad.
Pat, another drop.
"Don't cry."
I was almost at a loss, trying to wipe away tears for him, but I wiped more and more.It wasn't until later that I stopped my movements that I realized——
It turned out that I was crying.
"It's been a long time since I shed tears." I said softly, not knowing whether I wanted to talk to him or to myself.
"After Yun Fuyu died, I realized that tears are the most useless thing in this world."
"Only those who care about you will feel distressed because of your tears. Those who don't care about you... will often only despise you even more because of this. Therefore, even though suffering followed, I never shed a single tear for myself."
"Unexpectedly, I made an exception for you again."
I shed tears silently, and in the grief I felt, I felt a little peace of mind.
"You are a catastrophe. I wanted to avoid it before, but I couldn't. Now I don't have to. I don't know if I should keep you, and I don't know if you still want to..."
"Zhaohua."
"Are you still willing?"
Knowing that I won't get any response, I asked again and again as if I wouldn't get tired.Almost masochistically, let the eternal silence stay with me for a long time.
For the next seven days, I didn't want to be immersed in the never-ending worries about gains and losses, so I simply immersed myself in political affairs, busying myself in the dark, and in the end it really taught me and Ming Liao Shun Teng to find out a remnant of the Peace Sect.
The rabbit demon secretly fanned the wind and lit the will-o'-the-wisp, because he was determined to avenge the former demon king Fengyou.
It just so happened that I was very angry, so I simply took him into custody in my room, and I would personally extract confessions and execute him every day...everything was used.
The rabbit demon is very stubborn, no matter how painful it is, he never leaked a word, which makes me admire.
Admiration is all admiration, since he is a remnant of evil, I must not let him go.
To be kind to him is to be cruel to myself.
Today, I was in a bad mood, so I rewarded him with more than three hundred lashes. Seeing that he was half-conscious, I slapped him awake again, and said, "Don't tell me?"
The rabbit demon's eyes were slack, and he finally made a movement, raised his finger slightly, and motioned for me to listen to him.
I forgive him for being so weak, and he can't do anything. He leaned forward and got spit blood on his face.
great.I raised my sleeve and wiped my face, clamped the rabbit monster's jaw, and said with a sneer, "Since you can't speak, what's the use of keeping your tongue? Why don't I show mercy and cut it off for you, how about it?"
Without waiting for the rabbit demon to respond, I have already removed his chin, grasped the tip of the wet tongue with two fingers, and slowly pulled it out.The tip of the knife in his hand was tinged with cold light, and he swiped lightly like a bird skimming the water.
Dense plasma gushes out, spreading blankets on the ground.
I still wanted to use my strength, but there was a sound of tuk tuk outside the door.
Which ignorant fool?I was very interested, and I was disturbed for no reason, so I was naturally very displeased: "Who?"
"It's me." Qingyue is like gold and stone, moist like rain and dew, "Zhaohua."
The blood all over my body quickly condensed into ice, and I fell silent, almost losing my grip on the knife.Looking around the room in a hurry, it was not only messy, but also filled with a fishy smell that penetrated deep into the bones.
"...Monster, thing." The remnant seemed to be grasping the gate of my life, with his jaw open, his voice was hoarse and vague, "Monster, thing."
I was poked at the sore spot, I couldn't help but rage, I slapped him twice hard, sealed his sleeping hole by the way, and hid under the bed.Then he cast a spell to hide the blood stains on the blanket, hurriedly changed into neat new clothes, staggered to the makeup mirror, and carefully examined his appearance.
Pale and thin face, scarlet eyes, and a strange pattern that grew out of nowhere on his forehead.
Putting my hand on my cheek, I fell into a long period of confusion——
Who is this hideous monster in the mirror?
Is... is it me?
I was seized by a huge panic, and when I regained my consciousness, I was already in a state of madness, hysterically connected to the mirror, and I was overturned to the ground with all my strength, making a loud bang.
"Zhuluo?" Zhaohua heard the movement, "What are you doing?"
I am falling into an ice cave, I know it well.
His name is Zhuluo, not Zhuluo.
The person he wants to see is Zhuluo, not Zhuluo.
My whole body felt as if I had been stabbed by a thousand knives, and the pain was unbearable. I almost wanted to yell and tell him to roll away. The farther the better, the better.The joy of losing and getting it back and the anxiety of getting it back are surging back and forth, which is about to drive me crazy.
But as soon as I thought of Zhaohua standing outside the door, I subconsciously restrained myself and kept telling myself to be gentler and nicer to him.
Stepping lightly, and pressing my forehead against the door frame, I softened my tone: "You go, I don't want to see you."
After the words fell, the people outside the house were silent for a long time. It was so long that I thought he had left quietly, and then I heard the voice sound again: "I seem to have a dream. In the dream, the mother passed away, you fell into a demon, and I There's nothing I can do. So, I really want to wake up."
With a choked feeling in my throat, I stroked the clusters of flowers carved on the facade with my fingertips, swirling lightly, intending to use this to describe the person's eyebrows and eyes.
"It turned out it wasn't a dream." His tone was unwavering, calm as if resigned to fate, "It turns out it's too late."
Thinking about Zhaohua's first awakening, Linlang Tianque has changed hands, he has nowhere to go now, I couldn't bear to drive him out of Yifeng Hanxiu, and because of my selfish desires, I ordered Mingliao to allocate a mansion for Zhaohua, There should be no negligence in basic necessities of life.
After all, Zhaohua used to be well-clothed and well-fed and surrounded by servants, but now the gap is too great, I am really afraid that he will feel wronged.
Ming Liao also felt aggrieved after hearing this: "Xiao Zhuluo has never treated anyone like this before."
How can he be compared with Zhaohua?I had a half-smile: "You have countless courtiers under your clothes, what's the difference without me?"
Ming Liao covered his mouth, his eyes were crescent-shaped.
Ever since I got Zhaohua in Yifeng Hanxiu, my daily schedule has changed from being immersed in political affairs all day, to going to Zhaohua's backyard, jumping on the eaves, and watching him quietly after finishing the political affairs. practice sword.
No matter how thunder strikes, he will not move.
Oh, I saw that Zhaohua practiced swords, but he didn't know.
I said at that time that I didn't want to see him, but he really never came to see me again.He waits in the courtyard all day, practicing sword day and night, his moves are fierce, from form to meaning, all with surging killing intent.
Even so, he swung his sword to the end and slashed back at the stone table, but he never broke it in two.Therefore, I was curious, and once took advantage of Zhaohua to enter the house, I went down to have a look.
As far as the sharp edge reaches, only a shallow gully is carved.I reached out to touch it, and felt endless restraint and patience.
He doesn't want revenge?
Yun Min took the position that should belong to him, and even caused the tragic death of Empress Fuling... How could he swallow this breath?
or--
My eyes froze slightly, and I remembered that a few years ago, I had laughed at Zhaohua, saying that his temperament was not suitable for becoming the master of Linlang Tianque.At that time he replied, Brother Yun wanted it, and he gave it up.
Could it be that he has already seen through the matter of Yanling?
Knowing that it was a game, why did you go there without hesitation?
I was inexplicably palpitated, and when I didn't notice, I shook the group of glazed tiles under my hands out of the gap.The sound was subtle, but it did not escape Zhaohua's ears.
He retracted his sword abruptly, turned his head to look at me, the phoenix eyes reflected the sunny spring, and the wind of the sword stirred up several beautiful begonias, dancing around him like butterflies.
Embarrassed and ashamed when I saw my whereabouts revealed, I simply rolled up my sleeves and stood up, tiptoed, skimmed over the eaves of the pavilion, and slipped away.
I met Ming Liao on the road, he stopped me, saw my expression was different, and deliberately joked: "Your lover finally found out about the gentleman on the eaves?"
What kind of lover is not a lover.I sternly said, "If you tell me to hear you smearing Zhaohua's reputation again, I will smash your fox teeth into pieces one by one."
Ming Liao's face turned pale, and he covered his mouth and took a few steps back. Just when I thought he was intimidated by me and secretly breathed a sigh of relief, he said, "Isn't there something wrong with Xiaozhuluo? Zhaohua and Yunzhi are equally famous in the fairy world." Shuangshu, if you don’t eat all the fat in your mouth, it will really hurt the face of our Jinghu Lake and even the entire demon world. If Xiaozhuluo doesn’t let go, if you don’t hand over Zhaohua to me, I will—”
I was shocked and angry: "How dare you?!"
"Oh, what a stupid head." Ming Liao muttered, "I really don't understand. You say you don't want to see Zhaohua, but you secretly run to the eaves of others every day. Do you have feelings for him... or What about ruthless?"
I was stunned by his question: "Ming Liao, I don't understand either."
Ming Liao put away his usual playful smile, and said seriously: "If you are ruthless to him, then stop doing so. If you want him to be at ease in the future, remember not to call him, miss him, or look at him. Only in this way can you Let him completely give up and leave Yifeng Hanxiu as soon as possible."
"But..." I seldom hesitated, with a hint of panic.
"But what?"
But I can't do it.
Why can't it be done?I also don't know how to speak.Those emotions and thoughts were full of twists and turns, messily entangled, and became a ball of threads that couldn't be sorted out.
Ming Liao looked at me silently for a while, then suddenly stepped forward, gently rubbed my hair with his right hand and said, "Okay, my cousin knows that Xiao Zhuluo has wronged our family all these years."
This thing of relatives is really amazing.
Let me be quiet in anxiety, and safe in panic.
"...Cousin." This is the first time I have called Ming Liao in this way, "I can't say whether there is love or no love. It's just that these few days, I always want to see him all the time. Even if I can't talk, it's still great." Yes. I...will hate myself for meeting him too late, and now everything I can give has been taken away, and there is nothing good left for him."
"If I have nothing now, but still want to keep him by my side. Would I be too selfish to treat him like this?"
"That depends on how he thinks." Ming Liao said earnestly, "It is selfish to make decisions without regard to other people's wishes."
Yu Luo, he smiled at me and said: "Xiao Zhuluo is not afraid, my cousin will help you."
Ming Liao forbade me to look for Zhaohua again, and let me hang out with him in Yifeng Hanxiu all day long.
Not only that, but they also stuffed male pets on my couch in different ways. They were all beautiful young men with delicate bodies and soft bodies. When they saw me, they burrowed into my arms like a boneless earthworm.
I don't like to get close to foreign monsters, and I don't despise such a lewd and extravagant style.
Therefore, when Ming Liao gave away a male pet, I threw one out, and after throwing it, Ming Liao also became angry, and asked me what kind of beauty I like.
I told him that it had nothing to do with looks, I just couldn't convince myself to kiss, chew, or even have sex with those things I didn't like.
Ming Liao dismissed it, saying that I have been a human being for a long time, which is unreasonable.Love and desire do not exist together.It's on, it's cool, isn't that enough?
I disagree.
He hated iron for being weak, pointed at me and scolded me for a long time before walking out of the palace gate.
Before I could breathe a sigh of relief, Ming Liao came back in a hurry, twisted his waist and sat on my lap, touched and rubbed my face with jade fingers, and smiled coquettishly: "Xiaozhuluo, it's done."
I was confused, when I suddenly heard a commotion outside the hall, it seemed like a demon came to make trouble.
There is no reason for this.My complexion turned cold, and I made Ming Liao leave my lap with a wink, but he seemed to have never heard of it, and picked up a grape from the glass cup in a very leisurely manner, with his red lips slightly parted, and said in a low voice: "Ah—— "
Hearing the wailing sounds approaching, I didn't have the heart to mix the oil with Ming Liao's honey, and ordered him to roll off on me with a straight face, but he was fine, and hugged me even more tightly intentionally or unintentionally.
I was extremely angry, and I couldn't use my hands against Ming Liao, so I could only watch helplessly as the palace gate was easily broken.The two little demons staggered from outside and fell towards the blanket in the hall, trembling and daring not to speak.
The visitor's red gold boots touched the ground, and the corners of his snow-white robe gleamed in the light, flicking lightly, and his steps were slow and self-sufficient, without making any mistakes.Until he walked in front of me, the stream of fire beads hanging from his temples didn't even sway.
Ever since I saw Zhaohua, I was at a loss.
His eyes were icy, his complexion was frosty, and there was still a long sword not drawn out of the sheath floating beside him, as if he was performing a scene where the royal palace caught her husband stealing food outside, and then caught the adulterous couple.
I couldn't help being the first three big ones, thinking to myself that if Zhaohua really attacked me later, I would definitely not be able to fight back, after all, I was wronged first.
Ming Liao still thinks that I have not done enough wrong, so he softly advises: "My friend, taste it, is this grape sweet, or Liaoer's taste is sweet?"
Zhaohua's expression became even colder.
How dare I eat this?Waving his hand, he was about to refuse, but he heard Ming Liao's voice transmitted into secret: "Cousin said to help you, then he won't harm you."
Is he really helping me...not playing me?
No matter, until now, just trust him once.
I bite the bullet and took the grape, but that guy Ming Liao used his tricks again and pointed me: "In front of him, tell me that this grape is not as sweet as mine. Speak louder."
I chewed it twice, and said dryly: "Grapes...how, how can there be, Liaoer is sweet?"
Ming Liao was dissatisfied with my perfunctory, and wanted to say more, the clear plum fragrance was already blowing beside me, I smelled this smell, it was really hard for me to be on guard, and my movements subconsciously slowed down.
When I came back to my senses again, the one sitting on my lap was no longer Ming Liao, but Zhao Hua.
As for Ming Liao, he was being carried around by an invisible force, staggering down the jade steps, and it took him a long time to stabilize his pace, when he was so angry that the fur on his fox ears exploded, his voice cracked uncontrollably: " Diao, Diaomin... My enemy must seek justice for me!"
Zhao Huajiu occupied the magpie's nest, and was accused of crimes by Ming Liao, weeping in tears, but he was not disturbed at all, he just stood upright and turned his head to look at me silently.
Although she didn't say anything, there were two large characters clearly written on the face of Furong who bullied Shuang Saixue: Do you dare?
Naturally, I didn't dare, and waved my hand without even thinking about it.
Ming Liao was so angry that he shot his eyes straight at me, if he could swear now, he would definitely point his nose at me and scold me for being ungrateful.
Before leaving, Xu Shi, in order to respond to Zhaohua, did not forget to pick up his old profession of vixen, and smiled softly: "The worst thing is to be jealous. Someday the enemy can't stand it, remember to come and find someone."
Zhaohua waved his sleeves vigorously, and invited the little demon kneeling on the ground and Ming Liao's graceful figure out of the hall, then the wind of palms receded slightly, and the door slowly closed again.
With the sound of the lock falling, my mind wandered elsewhere.
In order to help me, Ming Liao lost face this time.The friendship will lead first, and when I see him tomorrow, I will definitely be rewarded heavily.
"It seems that you really want to find him?"
Zhaohua's tone was cold.I shivered and met his eyes, feeling a little timid, not knowing how to speak or what to do...to keep him by my side.
He didn't wait for my response and fell silent.
After a while, Ruyu reached for the glazed cup with her fingertips, lightly picked up a round purple-red grape still stained with dew, and brought it to my mouth.
Seeing me not moving, Zhaohua narrowed his eyes slightly, extremely displeased: "Eat."
Besides him, who else has the guts to order me?
I should have felt angry, I should have scolded him for being presumptuous... but I just opened up very obediently.
In order to avoid getting sick halfway, I inhaled two extra pillars of rising heaven spirit incense in advance to ensure that my consciousness was not hindered and my speech was clear, so I led Ming Liao to attack from the outside.
Thanks to the fact that I have been in Xuandan for a thousand years, I am very familiar with the four-element profound formation, it is practically useless and can come and go freely.
Because it was a surprise attack, our side took the lead.I easily subdued the three elders with one enemy, but Yun Yi couldn't find them everywhere, no matter how I tortured them to extract a confession, those elders all looked dull and didn't say a word.
The whereabouts of the clouds are unpredictable, and the canopy is also missing, which makes me a little concerned.Ming Liao persuaded, saying that Yunyi probably knew that he was invincible, avoided the eyes and ears of the demon world, and rushed to inform the emperor, it is not suitable to stay for a long time now, the best policy is to evacuate as soon as possible.
Just as I was about to nod, I fell ill again.
Strange, haven't I just smoked Shengxiao Lingxiang?
Why doesn't it work?
Ming Liao's voice was approaching and far away in my ears. I was already a little dazed, but when I was disturbed by this noise, I became even more disturbed, and told him to shut up sternly.
My chest rose and fell violently, my eyes grew colder, and I ordered all the monsters to search the entire Xuandan, tie up the whole family and lead them to me, waiting to be dealt with.
Soon, the group of lambs waiting to be slaughtered lay softly under my feet, trembling and weeping.
I walked back and forth with a smile, taking all the expressions of fear into my eyes.
The one with the red headband once kicked me in the chest.The one with the green collar spat on my face...
I recognize it, I recognize it all.
The dozens of years of being trapped in Xuandan Quping Peak, to be precise, were three thousand six hundred and eighty four days.
I can't sleep at night.
The only thing I can do is to close my eyes, repeatedly describe their appearance, review their tone of voice, and imagine how to cut them into pieces to vent my evil fire.
So living is no longer a suffering, but a hope.
How fresh.I said indifferently, when they bullied me, did I ever think that one day I would turn around and hold their power of life and death in my hands?
All the pain that was inflicted on me and my biological father—
Today, I will pay back twice as much.
As for those old and weak women and children, they have never had much contact with me on weekdays.Since they didn't provoke me, then...do you want to let them go?
I was still shaking, my spiritual consciousness suddenly vibrated and stirred, and hostility flowed into my limbs with majestic force.
The surrounding scene was covered with a strange red light, those crying, begging for mercy, and terrified faces were all distorted at this moment and turned into evil ghosts, wanting to pounce on me with bared teeth and claws.
"...No one will be left behind." I said coldly, "The hatred of exterminating the clan is irreconcilable. My heart is soft on them, and it will only leave a source of disaster."
When the words fell, everything in the world was silent, except for the sound of the heartbeat like thunder, accompanied by dense whispers like drumbeats.
"Kill, kill, kill..."
Louder and louder, until it takes up all my thoughts.
I wandered among the crowd, and the Moon Lane Branch was transformed into a sharp blade, every time I swung it, I would cut off a head.
A fishy wind was lingering at the tip of my nose, and my face and clothes were splashed with blood, and then slowly fell to the ground, as if condensed into a sea.
My body was hot with excitement, but my heart was like a cold pool. I was confused for a moment, but it was quickly replaced by distorted pleasure.
Cloud Fuyu, when you gave me the Lanyue Branch back then, you said it was a high-grade spiritual tool, which can be changed at will, and I hope I can use it on the right path...
Well, do you know?
Will you know under the Nine Springs?
I have reneged on my promise to you, and I have become a shameless monster.And the common people you want to protect, as well as these people of Xuandan, will eventually die under the branches of Lanyue.
If you know, you will regret it.
You will regret that you stopped Mianshuang from taking my skin and bones at that time, and you will regret that you have taught me carefully and carefully.Maybe, you will point your nose and scold me, saying that half-demons are all mud and bastards that can't support the wall!
However, I don't regret it.
It is much happier to liberate one's nature and do evil recklessly than to be a good person who endures humiliation.
Yun Fuyu, fortunately you are dead.
Good thing you died!
I kicked up and kicked the kneeling body in front of me to the ground.
Why is it called a shell?Because I can't see his face clearly, and I don't care about his appearance.He is the face of all living beings, he can be anyone...whether he has bullied me or suffered innocently.
Anyway, they all lead to the same goal by different routes.
The soles of the boots touched his chest, and the tip of the sword, which was transformed from a moon branch, rubbed against his neck with a touch of tenderness.
"Let, let me go... please."
He is crying, he is begging me.
Does he know?When I was trapped in Xuandan Quping Peak, I also shouted in my heart——
I want to say, please let me go!I didn't kill Yun Fuyu, nor did I intentionally kill those Xuandan subjects.
It's them!It was they who wanted to kill me first!
Alright... Even if I made a mistake in protecting myself, I am willing to pay for my sin with my life. After all, it is only right and proper to kill someone to pay for his life.But why don't you give me a good time?Are you trying to humiliate me with some infamous means?
Could it be that a half-demon is born lowly?
Is it because I am a half-demon that I should be abandoned, deceived, and used as a matter of course?
It's so unfair.
So I laughed and said happily, "Tit for tat is fair."
After speaking, the sword was retracted, and the head fell off in response.
Kicking away the muddy body, I closed my eyes and looked around, and there was no living thing around, so I was able to dissipate the qi, and my mind returned to clarity.
After only using half a cup of tea, Wushan Xuandan was already covered with bones, rivers of blood flowed, the air was filled with stench of rust, and the beautiful scenery of the past could no longer be found.
My complexion changed, and I almost felt sick.
The euphoria just now dissipated in an instant, leaving only a lingering voice in my ear, repeating indifferently: "Look at you, what the hell have you become?"
I……
I am extremely vicious, killing "innocents" indiscriminately, even unarmed old and weak women and children, this is an unforgivable crime.
There are countless ghosts under the sword, and there will be more in the future.
Soon, I might even forget who I am, and turn into a monster that scares the world.
never mind.
Now that I have decided to embark on this road of no return, I want the destiny to be afraid of me and afraid of me.
As long as the result is as expected, I don't care about the price I have to pay, nor do I care, let alone regret it.
A hand was put on my shoulder, I looked sideways, my eyes were full of worry, and I opened my mouth to speak.I shook my head at him, avoiding the scene of purgatory out of the corner of my eye, and asked, "Where is the canopy?"
Ming Liao said: "Just now a demon came to report, saying that Guardian Hua and Yunyi were in a fight, and it was hard to tell which was better. Yunyi was accidentally forced to retreat. The guardian's slander is serious, and he needs to adjust his breath as soon as possible, and it is difficult to stay here for a long time. Yes. Therefore, we must hurry up...we must find Zhaohua before the Immortal Realm mobilizes troops."
Without further ado, I sent away all the monsters, leaving only Ming Liao to go to the Sleeping Water Stream with me.The wind from my palm broke the water curtain, I jumped forward, and as soon as my toes landed, I called out softly, "Zhaohua?"
The sound of water trickling, continuous like a net, easily overwhelmed my voice.
The further you go into the depths, the colder the surroundings become, and the mist turns into icicles, hanging on the upper side of the stone wall, reflecting the brilliance.
Until the end of the Mianshui stream, I still didn't meet anyone. Instead, I saw a coffin carved out of ice and snow. Small holes were cut at the left and right ends, and jade chains were threaded through it, and it was placed in the air on a high platform.
The light mist is like green smoke, and it is also like flower branches and vines, weaving into a huge silkworm chrysalis, wrapping all the ice coffins inside.
"...Jade mat." Ming Liao observed carefully, "Jade mat and ice coffin."
"What is that?"
"This coffin was originally made for the dead so that the body would not rot. Later, someone discovered that if a living thing is sealed in the coffin and nourished by its vitality, the person who enters the coffin can have endless life, but the price is also tragic. -"
"What...the price?"
"He will never wake up again." Ming Liao sighed softly, "The eternity obtained in this way is no longer eternity, but obsession."
My mind was shaken, I swung my sword to cut off the jade chain, gathered the wind in my palm, caught the falling ice coffin from the sky, and placed it on the ground stably.
I hurried forward, waiting to see the face of the person in the ice coffin, the cold current blowing around me almost froze me alive.
"You said..." My teeth were chattering, "Zhaohua won't wake up again?"
Those light gray phoenix eyes, sometimes cold and arrogant, sometimes narrow, sometimes gentle, closed into a line like a moon, and the long eyelashes cast light blue shadows, making the face more radiant and fair, without any signs of exhaustion.
I want to check on Zhaohua.
However, as soon as I stretched out my hand, I suddenly realized——
Just now, because I violated the commandment of killing, my hands were extremely dirty. Compared with his spotless posture, I couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed and a bit inhumane.
Subconsciously want to rub the hem of the clothes, but even my blue clothes have long since lost their previous color.The old blood splattered, was covered by new blood, and finally mixed into a blackish red.
The icy mist was removed from my nose, and only the smell of iron rust silently permeated my flesh, heart, and spiritual consciousness...
Penetrate all of me.
"Zhaohua, Zhaohua..."
Every time I called him and looked at him more, my embarrassment and sorrow deepened.
Finally, I couldn't bear the suffering any longer, and turned my eyes away: "Ming Liao, you bring the ice coffin, follow me back to Yifeng Hanxiu first."
After leaving the Mianshuijian, I put all my energy into attacking the fairy world, but unexpectedly, I didn't see any suspected pursuers until I entered the jurisdiction of the demon world.
The suppression of Wushan Xuandan this time can be described as a complete victory, not even a single soldier was lost.
This was really too smooth, and it was a bit strange.
Could it be that Yun Man dug a hole for me to jump into with Xuan Dan as bait?I really don't understand, I have nothing now, how on earth does he want to use me?
What else do you want from me?
As soon as the thought came up, I felt a splitting headache, and my mind was so confused that it was difficult to continue thinking, so I had to light up the incense of ascending heaven as soon as possible.
These... are small things.
Since it's a trivial matter, if you don't understand it, don't think about it.
My cultivation base has greatly increased now, and after a few years, I will practice "Jade Wing Butterfly Sha" to the perfect state, who in the six realms will be able to compare with me?
Come one, I will kill one.Come two, I'll kill a pair.
In order to break the jade mat ice coffin, Huagai read all the wonderful books and found a good plan for me.
——The city of Yunzhou in the human world, where the treasure mirroring the mirage has been enshrined for generations, which can break the fog barrier, extradite the lost traveler, and connect with the lost soul.
The treasures of towns and cities should not be borrowed at will, but some low-level means must be used, such as stealing and robbing.
Ming Liao advised me to be cautious, Yunzhou City is directly under the jurisdiction of Kyoto.If this trip reveals their whereabouts, it will be inappropriate to accrue grievances or fight at worst.
The rising spirit incense was still burning spontaneously, and I let my thoughts intertwine and overlap with the wisps of green smoke, swinging unsteadily across the window lattice, and drifting into the distance.
After a while, I said, "There is no need to persuade me anymore, I have made up my mind on this matter."
Stealing, of course, is more appropriate alone.
I rejected Ming Liao's proposal and waited patiently in Yunzhou City for half a month based on Hua Gai's information.Half a month later, the city lord Luo Hanye went to the capital in person.
There is no doubt that tonight is the best time to start.
I read the map of Yunzhou City every day, and I have already memorized the route by heart.At night, I will pretend to be a red bead swallowtail and sneak into the underground palace of Yunzhou.
There are many organs that can stop mediocre people, but they can't stop me.
I broke through the hidden compartment, snatched the mirage, and inspected it carefully, and found that although this object is a treasure, its appearance is not eye-catching, like an ordinary bronze mirror.
Time was running out, I put the real thing in my bag, and imagining a fake one, set it in the hidden compartment according to the previous arrangement, and pushed the buckle to close it, just to hide it for a while longer.
After borrowing it, I will return Ying Mirage intact.
Although the human world will come under my control sooner or later, I don't care for things obtained by stealing or cheating.
Just as I was about to repeat the old trick and return back the same way as the red bead swallowtail, my eyes flickered, the foreground objects were either virtual or real, and it was hard to see clearly.
The hostility gradually surged up, and I secretly thought something was wrong, if "Jade Wing Butterfly" broke out at this moment, I might slaughter the whole city of Yunzhou, this is not the purpose of my trip.
I sat down cross-legged, and quickly sealed the two large acupuncture points on my shoulders, trying to straighten out my inner breath by meditating, so as to suspend the hostility.
Maybe it's because I'm in a peaceful state of mind today, and this response has really achieved success. I only need to run for another half a week, and I can completely resolve this hostility.
At this moment, the organ not far from the dark room roared.In a short time, the stone gate was broken, and the sound of chaotic footsteps poured in.
"Sir, you really have a clever plan. There really are thieves trying to plot my treasures in Yunzhou!"
"The thief, die!"
I turned a deaf ear and thought silently, just wait a little longer, wait a little longer...
The strong wind hits my face, and the cold light hits my heart directly.
I don't dodge or evade, I plan to take this sword forcefully, and after restraining "Jade Wing Butterfly", I will teach him some lessons.
But I don't know why, the sword tip of the comer had already reached my heart, and he took a sword flower behind his back, and then stabbed at my shoulder, breaking the acupuncture point that I sealed.
The inner breath froze for an instant, and the hostility that had been retreating just now counterattacked, with even more force.
All that was lost, I thought.
When I woke up again, I was standing on the bustling long street, looking around blankly.
Before those stalls could be put away, several rows of lanterns were hanging high, emitting warm orange soft light, but the bright white rice paper was splashed with several handfuls of blood, like a winter plum adorning it.
I reached out to touch it, and could still feel a little warmth.
The surrounding area is very quiet and there is no sound.
I only heard my own heartbeat, one slowed down, one slowed down.
As if the end is approaching, there is no more interest in life.
I stood silently for a long while, and when the lost three souls returned to their positions, I seemed to come back to life and walked forward.
Count each corpse as you pass—
one two Three……
The further back I counted, the more sluggish my thoughts became.
Twelve, fourteen, nineteen...
Nineteen Next, how much should it be?
Strange, I used to be the best at counting sheep, and I could count up to a thousand without stumbling.Why can't I count down to nineteen now?
I suddenly stopped my pace and turned around to look, my gaze swiveled around the pool of blood, and then stopped on those countless corpses, trying to follow to the end, but it seemed to be in a dead end.
There is no end to be found, nor a beginning to be found.
I was almost a little confused thinking——
Where is this place?
Why am I here?
Who are these people?
Did they all die by my hands?
Recently, my memory seems to be getting worse...
I had a splitting headache, I subconsciously stretched out my hand to rub Songmeifeng, but saw that the raised palm was covered with mottled blood, as if it had been soaked in a pool of blood, but I didn't feel pain, it was really strange.
What's even more strange is that I have an extra bronze mirror in my pocket, which looks so ordinary that it doesn't even qualify to be included in my collection.
Just as he thought of throwing it away, his fingertips gripped the waste even tighter.It's like seeing some rare treasure, no matter what, you don't want to let it go, you clamor secretly with me, and you don't want to compromise.
- can not throw.Take it quickly and save a person.
Who am I going to save?
— is a very important person.
Do I have someone important?
— Yes, yes... have you forgotten?He abandoned the red and followed the white, just want to win your favor.He demeaned himself just to make you laugh.He inquired about your preferences, peeked into your past, and knew all your ugliness and embarrassment, but he never treated each other with cold eyes or bad words.
——He seems to be reluctant to see you in pain, sad, or in danger.More importantly, he never lied to you or used you.
He treats me so well, so how can I treat him?
——You always make him sad, but he never blames you.
How could there be such an inexplicable person in this world?My heart felt sour.Then what is his last name?
—— Zhaohua, his name is Zhaohua.
It turned out that his name was Zhaohua.
Jinghou Zhaohua, people only celebrate.As the name suggests, it is really a beauty that daunts me.
No wonder... I stared at the mirror in my hand and thought in a daze, no wonder I wanted to save him.
After obtaining the mirage, Hua Gai will cast spells on Zhaohua immediately, and no foreign objects will be disturbed within seven days.
I readily agreed, but before that, I wanted to be alone with Zhaohua for a while.
The ice coffin dissipated the cold air, making his clear eyebrows and eyes very hazy.I watched quietly for a while, pushed away the layer of cloud and mists, and lightly touched the center of his brow with my fingertips, which were flushed from scrubbing, with very clear intentions.
I want to know what happened on Linlang Tianque that day.
Close your eyes.
Countless scenes pass by one by one like a fleeting glance.
Yun Mo's subordinates unexpectedly included the general of the divine beast Cang Tian, and joined hands with Qian Sang and Dong Ji to force Zhao Lan to abdicate and make way for the virtuous.Knowing that the situation was over, Zhao Lan never even resisted, a glass of poisoned wine fell into her throat, and her soul was lost for nine days.
Zhaohua was rewarded, regardless of his injuries, he forced his way out of Qiongguantian, causing the qi and blood to flow backwards, making it difficult to fight.Or to put it another way... Even if he has the ability to reach the sky, he is powerless under the irreversible defeat.
Zhaohua should have died.
It was Empress Fuling who risked her life to fight, forcing Yun Mo to make a blood oath with her, ordering her not to hurt Zhaohua in the slightest forever.
Before she died, she smiled at Zhaohua: "What you said at that time, in fact, my mother never forgot. There is a saying from the ancestors, and the people of Xianyin should live in a chic and unrestrained way."
"From today, my son, you are finally no longer a crane in a cage."
"Don't complain, don't hate, don't cry... This is not decay, but rebirth."
"Queen, I'm really happy for you."
I suddenly withdrew my fingertips, only to see a drop of water rolling straight down, breaking through the lingering mist, falling on Zhaohua's eyelashes, trembling gently, flowing quietly along the veins on the face, as if extremely sad.
Pat, another drop.
"Don't cry."
I was almost at a loss, trying to wipe away tears for him, but I wiped more and more.It wasn't until later that I stopped my movements that I realized——
It turned out that I was crying.
"It's been a long time since I shed tears." I said softly, not knowing whether I wanted to talk to him or to myself.
"After Yun Fuyu died, I realized that tears are the most useless thing in this world."
"Only those who care about you will feel distressed because of your tears. Those who don't care about you... will often only despise you even more because of this. Therefore, even though suffering followed, I never shed a single tear for myself."
"Unexpectedly, I made an exception for you again."
I shed tears silently, and in the grief I felt, I felt a little peace of mind.
"You are a catastrophe. I wanted to avoid it before, but I couldn't. Now I don't have to. I don't know if I should keep you, and I don't know if you still want to..."
"Zhaohua."
"Are you still willing?"
Knowing that I won't get any response, I asked again and again as if I wouldn't get tired.Almost masochistically, let the eternal silence stay with me for a long time.
For the next seven days, I didn't want to be immersed in the never-ending worries about gains and losses, so I simply immersed myself in political affairs, busying myself in the dark, and in the end it really taught me and Ming Liao Shun Teng to find out a remnant of the Peace Sect.
The rabbit demon secretly fanned the wind and lit the will-o'-the-wisp, because he was determined to avenge the former demon king Fengyou.
It just so happened that I was very angry, so I simply took him into custody in my room, and I would personally extract confessions and execute him every day...everything was used.
The rabbit demon is very stubborn, no matter how painful it is, he never leaked a word, which makes me admire.
Admiration is all admiration, since he is a remnant of evil, I must not let him go.
To be kind to him is to be cruel to myself.
Today, I was in a bad mood, so I rewarded him with more than three hundred lashes. Seeing that he was half-conscious, I slapped him awake again, and said, "Don't tell me?"
The rabbit demon's eyes were slack, and he finally made a movement, raised his finger slightly, and motioned for me to listen to him.
I forgive him for being so weak, and he can't do anything. He leaned forward and got spit blood on his face.
great.I raised my sleeve and wiped my face, clamped the rabbit monster's jaw, and said with a sneer, "Since you can't speak, what's the use of keeping your tongue? Why don't I show mercy and cut it off for you, how about it?"
Without waiting for the rabbit demon to respond, I have already removed his chin, grasped the tip of the wet tongue with two fingers, and slowly pulled it out.The tip of the knife in his hand was tinged with cold light, and he swiped lightly like a bird skimming the water.
Dense plasma gushes out, spreading blankets on the ground.
I still wanted to use my strength, but there was a sound of tuk tuk outside the door.
Which ignorant fool?I was very interested, and I was disturbed for no reason, so I was naturally very displeased: "Who?"
"It's me." Qingyue is like gold and stone, moist like rain and dew, "Zhaohua."
The blood all over my body quickly condensed into ice, and I fell silent, almost losing my grip on the knife.Looking around the room in a hurry, it was not only messy, but also filled with a fishy smell that penetrated deep into the bones.
"...Monster, thing." The remnant seemed to be grasping the gate of my life, with his jaw open, his voice was hoarse and vague, "Monster, thing."
I was poked at the sore spot, I couldn't help but rage, I slapped him twice hard, sealed his sleeping hole by the way, and hid under the bed.Then he cast a spell to hide the blood stains on the blanket, hurriedly changed into neat new clothes, staggered to the makeup mirror, and carefully examined his appearance.
Pale and thin face, scarlet eyes, and a strange pattern that grew out of nowhere on his forehead.
Putting my hand on my cheek, I fell into a long period of confusion——
Who is this hideous monster in the mirror?
Is... is it me?
I was seized by a huge panic, and when I regained my consciousness, I was already in a state of madness, hysterically connected to the mirror, and I was overturned to the ground with all my strength, making a loud bang.
"Zhuluo?" Zhaohua heard the movement, "What are you doing?"
I am falling into an ice cave, I know it well.
His name is Zhuluo, not Zhuluo.
The person he wants to see is Zhuluo, not Zhuluo.
My whole body felt as if I had been stabbed by a thousand knives, and the pain was unbearable. I almost wanted to yell and tell him to roll away. The farther the better, the better.The joy of losing and getting it back and the anxiety of getting it back are surging back and forth, which is about to drive me crazy.
But as soon as I thought of Zhaohua standing outside the door, I subconsciously restrained myself and kept telling myself to be gentler and nicer to him.
Stepping lightly, and pressing my forehead against the door frame, I softened my tone: "You go, I don't want to see you."
After the words fell, the people outside the house were silent for a long time. It was so long that I thought he had left quietly, and then I heard the voice sound again: "I seem to have a dream. In the dream, the mother passed away, you fell into a demon, and I There's nothing I can do. So, I really want to wake up."
With a choked feeling in my throat, I stroked the clusters of flowers carved on the facade with my fingertips, swirling lightly, intending to use this to describe the person's eyebrows and eyes.
"It turned out it wasn't a dream." His tone was unwavering, calm as if resigned to fate, "It turns out it's too late."
Thinking about Zhaohua's first awakening, Linlang Tianque has changed hands, he has nowhere to go now, I couldn't bear to drive him out of Yifeng Hanxiu, and because of my selfish desires, I ordered Mingliao to allocate a mansion for Zhaohua, There should be no negligence in basic necessities of life.
After all, Zhaohua used to be well-clothed and well-fed and surrounded by servants, but now the gap is too great, I am really afraid that he will feel wronged.
Ming Liao also felt aggrieved after hearing this: "Xiao Zhuluo has never treated anyone like this before."
How can he be compared with Zhaohua?I had a half-smile: "You have countless courtiers under your clothes, what's the difference without me?"
Ming Liao covered his mouth, his eyes were crescent-shaped.
Ever since I got Zhaohua in Yifeng Hanxiu, my daily schedule has changed from being immersed in political affairs all day, to going to Zhaohua's backyard, jumping on the eaves, and watching him quietly after finishing the political affairs. practice sword.
No matter how thunder strikes, he will not move.
Oh, I saw that Zhaohua practiced swords, but he didn't know.
I said at that time that I didn't want to see him, but he really never came to see me again.He waits in the courtyard all day, practicing sword day and night, his moves are fierce, from form to meaning, all with surging killing intent.
Even so, he swung his sword to the end and slashed back at the stone table, but he never broke it in two.Therefore, I was curious, and once took advantage of Zhaohua to enter the house, I went down to have a look.
As far as the sharp edge reaches, only a shallow gully is carved.I reached out to touch it, and felt endless restraint and patience.
He doesn't want revenge?
Yun Min took the position that should belong to him, and even caused the tragic death of Empress Fuling... How could he swallow this breath?
or--
My eyes froze slightly, and I remembered that a few years ago, I had laughed at Zhaohua, saying that his temperament was not suitable for becoming the master of Linlang Tianque.At that time he replied, Brother Yun wanted it, and he gave it up.
Could it be that he has already seen through the matter of Yanling?
Knowing that it was a game, why did you go there without hesitation?
I was inexplicably palpitated, and when I didn't notice, I shook the group of glazed tiles under my hands out of the gap.The sound was subtle, but it did not escape Zhaohua's ears.
He retracted his sword abruptly, turned his head to look at me, the phoenix eyes reflected the sunny spring, and the wind of the sword stirred up several beautiful begonias, dancing around him like butterflies.
Embarrassed and ashamed when I saw my whereabouts revealed, I simply rolled up my sleeves and stood up, tiptoed, skimmed over the eaves of the pavilion, and slipped away.
I met Ming Liao on the road, he stopped me, saw my expression was different, and deliberately joked: "Your lover finally found out about the gentleman on the eaves?"
What kind of lover is not a lover.I sternly said, "If you tell me to hear you smearing Zhaohua's reputation again, I will smash your fox teeth into pieces one by one."
Ming Liao's face turned pale, and he covered his mouth and took a few steps back. Just when I thought he was intimidated by me and secretly breathed a sigh of relief, he said, "Isn't there something wrong with Xiaozhuluo? Zhaohua and Yunzhi are equally famous in the fairy world." Shuangshu, if you don’t eat all the fat in your mouth, it will really hurt the face of our Jinghu Lake and even the entire demon world. If Xiaozhuluo doesn’t let go, if you don’t hand over Zhaohua to me, I will—”
I was shocked and angry: "How dare you?!"
"Oh, what a stupid head." Ming Liao muttered, "I really don't understand. You say you don't want to see Zhaohua, but you secretly run to the eaves of others every day. Do you have feelings for him... or What about ruthless?"
I was stunned by his question: "Ming Liao, I don't understand either."
Ming Liao put away his usual playful smile, and said seriously: "If you are ruthless to him, then stop doing so. If you want him to be at ease in the future, remember not to call him, miss him, or look at him. Only in this way can you Let him completely give up and leave Yifeng Hanxiu as soon as possible."
"But..." I seldom hesitated, with a hint of panic.
"But what?"
But I can't do it.
Why can't it be done?I also don't know how to speak.Those emotions and thoughts were full of twists and turns, messily entangled, and became a ball of threads that couldn't be sorted out.
Ming Liao looked at me silently for a while, then suddenly stepped forward, gently rubbed my hair with his right hand and said, "Okay, my cousin knows that Xiao Zhuluo has wronged our family all these years."
This thing of relatives is really amazing.
Let me be quiet in anxiety, and safe in panic.
"...Cousin." This is the first time I have called Ming Liao in this way, "I can't say whether there is love or no love. It's just that these few days, I always want to see him all the time. Even if I can't talk, it's still great." Yes. I...will hate myself for meeting him too late, and now everything I can give has been taken away, and there is nothing good left for him."
"If I have nothing now, but still want to keep him by my side. Would I be too selfish to treat him like this?"
"That depends on how he thinks." Ming Liao said earnestly, "It is selfish to make decisions without regard to other people's wishes."
Yu Luo, he smiled at me and said: "Xiao Zhuluo is not afraid, my cousin will help you."
Ming Liao forbade me to look for Zhaohua again, and let me hang out with him in Yifeng Hanxiu all day long.
Not only that, but they also stuffed male pets on my couch in different ways. They were all beautiful young men with delicate bodies and soft bodies. When they saw me, they burrowed into my arms like a boneless earthworm.
I don't like to get close to foreign monsters, and I don't despise such a lewd and extravagant style.
Therefore, when Ming Liao gave away a male pet, I threw one out, and after throwing it, Ming Liao also became angry, and asked me what kind of beauty I like.
I told him that it had nothing to do with looks, I just couldn't convince myself to kiss, chew, or even have sex with those things I didn't like.
Ming Liao dismissed it, saying that I have been a human being for a long time, which is unreasonable.Love and desire do not exist together.It's on, it's cool, isn't that enough?
I disagree.
He hated iron for being weak, pointed at me and scolded me for a long time before walking out of the palace gate.
Before I could breathe a sigh of relief, Ming Liao came back in a hurry, twisted his waist and sat on my lap, touched and rubbed my face with jade fingers, and smiled coquettishly: "Xiaozhuluo, it's done."
I was confused, when I suddenly heard a commotion outside the hall, it seemed like a demon came to make trouble.
There is no reason for this.My complexion turned cold, and I made Ming Liao leave my lap with a wink, but he seemed to have never heard of it, and picked up a grape from the glass cup in a very leisurely manner, with his red lips slightly parted, and said in a low voice: "Ah—— "
Hearing the wailing sounds approaching, I didn't have the heart to mix the oil with Ming Liao's honey, and ordered him to roll off on me with a straight face, but he was fine, and hugged me even more tightly intentionally or unintentionally.
I was extremely angry, and I couldn't use my hands against Ming Liao, so I could only watch helplessly as the palace gate was easily broken.The two little demons staggered from outside and fell towards the blanket in the hall, trembling and daring not to speak.
The visitor's red gold boots touched the ground, and the corners of his snow-white robe gleamed in the light, flicking lightly, and his steps were slow and self-sufficient, without making any mistakes.Until he walked in front of me, the stream of fire beads hanging from his temples didn't even sway.
Ever since I saw Zhaohua, I was at a loss.
His eyes were icy, his complexion was frosty, and there was still a long sword not drawn out of the sheath floating beside him, as if he was performing a scene where the royal palace caught her husband stealing food outside, and then caught the adulterous couple.
I couldn't help being the first three big ones, thinking to myself that if Zhaohua really attacked me later, I would definitely not be able to fight back, after all, I was wronged first.
Ming Liao still thinks that I have not done enough wrong, so he softly advises: "My friend, taste it, is this grape sweet, or Liaoer's taste is sweet?"
Zhaohua's expression became even colder.
How dare I eat this?Waving his hand, he was about to refuse, but he heard Ming Liao's voice transmitted into secret: "Cousin said to help you, then he won't harm you."
Is he really helping me...not playing me?
No matter, until now, just trust him once.
I bite the bullet and took the grape, but that guy Ming Liao used his tricks again and pointed me: "In front of him, tell me that this grape is not as sweet as mine. Speak louder."
I chewed it twice, and said dryly: "Grapes...how, how can there be, Liaoer is sweet?"
Ming Liao was dissatisfied with my perfunctory, and wanted to say more, the clear plum fragrance was already blowing beside me, I smelled this smell, it was really hard for me to be on guard, and my movements subconsciously slowed down.
When I came back to my senses again, the one sitting on my lap was no longer Ming Liao, but Zhao Hua.
As for Ming Liao, he was being carried around by an invisible force, staggering down the jade steps, and it took him a long time to stabilize his pace, when he was so angry that the fur on his fox ears exploded, his voice cracked uncontrollably: " Diao, Diaomin... My enemy must seek justice for me!"
Zhao Huajiu occupied the magpie's nest, and was accused of crimes by Ming Liao, weeping in tears, but he was not disturbed at all, he just stood upright and turned his head to look at me silently.
Although she didn't say anything, there were two large characters clearly written on the face of Furong who bullied Shuang Saixue: Do you dare?
Naturally, I didn't dare, and waved my hand without even thinking about it.
Ming Liao was so angry that he shot his eyes straight at me, if he could swear now, he would definitely point his nose at me and scold me for being ungrateful.
Before leaving, Xu Shi, in order to respond to Zhaohua, did not forget to pick up his old profession of vixen, and smiled softly: "The worst thing is to be jealous. Someday the enemy can't stand it, remember to come and find someone."
Zhaohua waved his sleeves vigorously, and invited the little demon kneeling on the ground and Ming Liao's graceful figure out of the hall, then the wind of palms receded slightly, and the door slowly closed again.
With the sound of the lock falling, my mind wandered elsewhere.
In order to help me, Ming Liao lost face this time.The friendship will lead first, and when I see him tomorrow, I will definitely be rewarded heavily.
"It seems that you really want to find him?"
Zhaohua's tone was cold.I shivered and met his eyes, feeling a little timid, not knowing how to speak or what to do...to keep him by my side.
He didn't wait for my response and fell silent.
After a while, Ruyu reached for the glazed cup with her fingertips, lightly picked up a round purple-red grape still stained with dew, and brought it to my mouth.
Seeing me not moving, Zhaohua narrowed his eyes slightly, extremely displeased: "Eat."
Besides him, who else has the guts to order me?
I should have felt angry, I should have scolded him for being presumptuous... but I just opened up very obediently.
