Sick Beauty [Rebirth]

In the dream, white plums and snow fluttered all over the sky.

Ye Yunlan looked expressionlessly at Chen Weiyuan, who was saying "I miss him so much" in front of him, with bulging veins on the back of his hand holding the Queying Sword.

"Chen Weiyuan, you make me sick."

Chen Weiyuan's face remained unchanged, but he smiled instead: "Yunlan, why are you so irritable when we meet again after a long absence?"

Ye Yunlan just stared at him coldly, whole body on guard.

The person in front of him was completely different from the Chen Weiyuan he met on Tianchi Mountain two years ago.Being here and being outside of things is the way that only exists in the period of transformation.

And the other party's casual clothes and gentle smile on his face even made him feel strange.

In his previous life, when he was rescued from the pagoda by the Mozun, he saw Chen Weiyuan for the last time.

At that time, the other party was standing in the void, wearing a starry robe, holding an astrolabe, gathering thousands of Taoist cultivators, and building a star-fighting formation around the sky, to encircle and kill him and the Demon Venerable.The demon king ordered the blood river to descend into the world, Zhou Tian's star formation was broken, and Chen Weiyuan disappeared.

After a hundred years, they never met again.It wasn't until he broke through Taxu and managed to pierce the Seven Emotions Needle into the soul, and then rushed to the Northern Territory to kill it by the sword, but only heard the news that Chen Weiyuan died in the robbery.

If you don't count the time in Tianchi Mountain in this life, they haven't seen each other for more than a hundred years.

As for Chen Weiyuan's change, it must have been after the Tianchi Mountain Discussion Meeting.

But why?

It is so absurd to reincarnate the first life, but now not only does he have memories of his past life, but Chen Weiyuan also seems to recall all kinds of past lives.

If so inferred, is it possible for Shen Shu to...

Ye Yunlan was startled by her own guess, and saw Chen Weiyuan waved his hand, and a stone table appeared in front of the two of them, with a wine glass on it.Chen Weiyuan stooped to pick up the jug of wine warmed in the snow, walked to the table and sat down, poured two glasses.

"I? Know that you will definitely have many questions you want to ask me." Chen Weiyuan slightly pushed the glass of wine towards Ye Yunlan's direction, "Why don't you come and sit down and talk slowly."

Ye Yunlan didn't move.

Perhaps in a dream, when he met Chen Weiyuan this time, the seven emotion needles in his soul did not show up.

The Queying sword was unsheathed, the light of the sword pierced through the flying snow like meteors, and it was in front of Chen Weiyuan in an instant!

Chen Weiyuan didn't move either.

The sword light slashed across his body, only forming a pitch-black crack without any blood flowing out, and the dream space was slightly distorted—in an instant, Chen Weiyuan had already recovered.

"You know you can't hurt me in your dream?" Chen Weiyuan sighed, "Why do you still have to use the sword, if it triggers the injury in your body, what should I do?"

Ye Yunlan: "You said I can't hurt you?"

He also pointed at the blade of the Queying Sword and slowly passed by. Seeing his movement, Chen Weiyuan's eyebrows twitched, "I have been preparing for this dream for a long time. The formations are all tied to me. If you want to kill me along the dream at any cost, it may not be feasible if there is a large formation blocking it."

This is why it took him so long to meet Ye Yunlan by dreaming after the Tianchi Mountain Discussion Conference.

No one knows better than him the horror of stepping on the void. If Ye Yunlan's cultivation was at its peak in his previous life, not to mention falling into a dream, if he dared to leave the Chen clan for half a mile, and was noticed by Ye Yunlan and pointed at thousands of miles away -? Sword, I'm afraid he You will be seriously injured.

He—? Life counted all the secrets, but he could only count his own death.

——Only overturn the chessboard and play a new game of chess.

Ye Yunlan said indifferently: "The majestic Pavilion Master of Tianji will only use low-level tricks and be a coward?"

Chen Weiyuan sighed and shook his head and said: "There are so many things in the past, so my lady resents me and hates me, and wants to kill me? It is also right. But I don't want my lady to suffer. Since the seven emotions needle entered your body, I know how much you have suffered. , also heartbroken."

Ye Yunlan: "What does this have to do with you! Chen Weiyuan, don't keep claiming to be my husband. Between you and me, the life and death enemies have long since died."

Chen Weiyuan looked at him steadily, then slowly bent his eyes and said with a smile.

"When the lady is angry, she blooms like a red plum, shining brightly. She is indeed the number one beauty in the cultivation world."

He picked up the wine glass on the table and drank it, his cheeks appeared—a little bit drunk, and murmured: "But I? I miss you even more when you wore a mask and called my husband." He rested his jaw lazily, The long eyes drooped slightly, "At that time, you were very good, and I would listen to everything I said. I actually liked you very much at that time, but, after all, I couldn't live up to fate."

"The catastrophe of heaven and earth will be caused by the magic star. Under the catastrophe, the lives of the people will be burnt, and no one wants to see that time. Yunlan, you are the only star that was born at the same time as the magic star and can destroy it .”

Ye Yunlan suddenly interrupted: "Enough."

He already knew about the twin stars.

He didn't believe in fate at first, but in his previous life, it was after the death of the Demon Lord that his realm soared, and he finally ascended to Taxu.

Therefore, in this life, he never thought about looking for the Demon Lord, and after being injured by the divine fire, he only planned to stay in Tianzong alone and spend the rest of his life, and it was for this reason.

He has lived long enough, in this—life, he wants to fulfill the person he has never met.

It wasn't until later that he accepted Shen Shu as his apprentice. In order to take care of his apprentice, he left Tianzong twice, once to Tianchi Mountain, and once to Nether Secret Realm.

What he never expected was that the person he could never meet in this life was his own apprentice.

Fortunately, his life was numbered.

Chen Weiyuan's plan is doomed to be in vain.

"It's useless for you to tell me these things," Ye Yunlan said indifferently, "I? I'm just a dying person. Whether it's the catastrophe of heaven and earth, or the fate you mentioned, it has nothing to do with me."

"What about the Demon Bone of Absolute Beginning that is about to be born, does it have anything to do with you?" Chen Weiyuan put down the wine glass in his hand and said slowly.

Ye Yunlan's pupils tightened.

Primordial Demon Bone.

This is an indispensable formation for the Primordial Demon Alchemy Formation!

Back then, the demon king wanted to marry him, but he was controlled by Chen Weiyuan, who stabbed the demon king with a poisoned dagger.On the day of the wedding banquet, Daoxiu took the opportunity to invade the Demon Realm and set up an ancient demon formation on Lumen Mountain outside the Demon Palace, intending to kill the Demon Lord.

The Demon Lord has a special physique, and he has cultivated the Nine-Turn Heavenly Demon Physique. He is immortal, but in the ancient demon formation, he almost died.This is the only way for the human race between heaven and earth to completely wipe it out.

That time, he was the one who secretly shifted the demon bone and destroyed the formation, so that the demon king was able to take him to escape.Later, he was arrested and tortured in the Stupa Pagoda. Among all the crimes, the most serious one was that Daoxiu encircled and suppressed the Demon Lord's Lumen Mountain.

If the devil bone was born in this life and was snatched away by Chen Weiyuan, if they formed an array to deal with Shen Shu, the consequences would be disastrous.

Ye Yunlan: "Where is the devil bone?"

Chen Weiyuan didn't answer him immediately, but slowly said: "After the death of the Demon Lord, you spent countless costs to collect his remnant soul. I think you valued that person very much. I'm just wondering, what's so good about him? Temperament Domineering, likes and dislikes? He imprisoned you in the deep palace and forced you to marry him."

Although he was still smiling gently, his brows were gloomy, "After he took you away from the ancient demon formation, the demon suffered from serious injuries, so you must have suffered a lot from him. So, you still want to Rescue him—again?"

Ye Yunlan repeated: "Where is the devil bone?"

Chen Weiyuan sighed, "Half a month later, in the Frost Sea Territory of the Northern Territory, the Immemorial God Ruins. Yunlan, I? Will wait for you there." He raised his eyes, "When we meet, you will be killed or cut. My husband won't mind."

Ye Yunlan remembered the birth of the Ancient God Market—? It shocked the cultivation world at that time, and it was even worse than the Nether Secret Realm.It is full of relics from the ancient times, and there is a high possibility that they were obtained from the God Ruins.

However, he didn't believe a word of Chen Weiyuan's nonsense that "he doesn't mind being killed or cut". Since Chen Weiyuan had already dreamed of inviting him, he must have been fully prepared.

This time I must go to the banquet at Hongmen.

To go, or not to go?

Before he had time to think, he saw the surrounding white plums falling faster and faster, like snow flying, and the surrounding scenery began to tremble.

The dream is about to collapse.

Seeing that Chen Weiyuan poured a glass of wine for himself unhurriedly, lightly touched the other wine glass that Ye Yunlan hadn't touched, and raised it towards him.

Bai Mei fell like rain on his hair.

He smiled slightly and said, "I hope that after half a month, I can meet my wife in the Northern Territory and have a drink with you."

The dream suddenly shattered.

Ye Yunlan woke up from the dream.

He sat up straight and looked sideways out the window.

In the distance, the morning rooster is calling the dawn, and the gloom of the night has not completely faded, and a few dim stars can be seen faintly.

Sensing his movement, Shen Shu also sat up, leaned close to his back, wrapped his arms around his shoulders, and asked in a low voice, "Master, why did you wake up so early today?"

Ye Yunlan lifted Shen Shu's arm and said, "You said you were going down the mountain today, when will you leave?"

Shen Shu said: "No rush. Have breakfast with Master before leaving."

Ye Yunlan said: "Have you packed your things?"

Shen Shu leaned on his shoulder, smiled softly, and said, "Master, why do you still think of me as a child. It's only a month, it's not very long, so there's no need to pack up. Maybe Master reads and finishes two books." book, I'm back."

Ye Yunlan: "...a month?"

He stopped talking.

Shen Shu buried his head in his hair, sniffed the cool scent of his body, and said suddenly, "Could it be that Master is reluctant to part with me?"

"...not at all."

Shen Shu said: "But I suddenly feel a little bit reluctant to part with Master." He sniffed Ye Yunlan a few more times like a small animal looking for food, and then said, "But think about it carefully, if I can't help Master find I am afraid that after two months, I will be even more reluctant to return to the method of continuing my life. Therefore, Master, you must wait for me to come back."

Ye Yunlan just looked at the dim and starry outside, and didn't speak.

Shen Shu got up and tidied his clothes, put on his coat again, and went out to the backyard to prepare breakfast.

Moist with morning dew.

Ye Yunlan—? Dreaming at night, mentally tired, but doesn't want to sleep anymore.

Get up and stand by the window, looking at the flowers outside the window.

Shen Shu took good care of those flowers.

It is early spring, and most of them have already bloomed, and the beautiful and soft petals are stretching cheerfully. It is a scene full of vitality.

He suddenly remembered that many years ago, the young Shen Shu entered the house through the window and carefully held out a snow calendula in his hand.Unfold it for him to see.

"Master, breakfast is ready, come and have a taste."

The grown-up boy stood by the door, holding a plate of pastries and smiled at him.

He turned around.

"it is good."

……

After breakfast, Shen Shu cleaned up the dishes.Ye Yunlan was sitting in the study, with a pen, ink and paper on the desk.

Morning light has gradually brightened.

The cold light came in from the window, he picked up the pen and didn't put it down for a long time.

Shen Shu walked in and said.

"Master, I? I'm going down the mountain."

Ye Yunlan gave a faint "hmm"—?

Shen Shu said: "I sealed the prepared meals in the kitchen with a formation, and the spiritual power inside is enough to preserve for -? months. I cleaned the live spring pool brought in from the back mountain -? again yesterday, so I can take a bath without worry. The disciples of Zangshu Pavilion will come here every three days at you hour, and I have already ordered them to do what Master can tell them to do." He repeated yesterday's instructions in detail again -? times.

Ye Yunlan: "Okay."

Shen Shu: "Then I'm leaving, Master."

Ye Yunlan: "Take care."

Shen Shu: "Master, too."

Seeing that Shen Shu turned around and was about to leave, Ye Yunlan suddenly called out to him, "Shen Shu."

Shen Shu turned around, "Master?"

Ye Yunlan said: "I? Play a song to see you off."

Shen Shu was a little surprised, and immediately agreed happily.

Ye Yunlan got up and went to the wall to get the piano, sat in front of the piano table, put ten slender fingers on the strings of the piano, and bowed her head to play.

The sound of the piano is lingering.

—? As cold and clear as ever, like going to a place where there is no one, washing people's hearts?

But there are some slight differences.

Shen Shu closed his eyes and listened, feeling that the sound of the piano seemed to have something more compared to what Ye Yunlan had played before.

He couldn't tell what it was.

It's just that suddenly, I really want to hug my master.

So after finishing the song, he walked around behind his master and hugged him.

The opponent didn't push him away this time.

Shen Shu took an inch, pressed his chest against his master's back tightly, and sprayed his hot breath on the other's neck.

He thought of what Ye Yunlan had promised him.When he comes back from Moyuan, Ye Yunlan will be willing to heal his wounds and be with him forever.

forever.

Beautiful words that he hadn't thought of before.

Now -? Thinking about it, I feel delighted.

Shen Shu's blood was rushing, and he suddenly couldn't help but opened his mouth and bit Ye Yunlan's shoulder, like a wolf marking its prey.

"You must wait for me to come back," he said, "Master."

Just as Ye Yunlan felt a slight pain in his shoulder, Shen Shu had already let him go.

If he stayed any longer, he didn't know what he would do.So he picked up the residual light, walked quickly to the door for a few steps, and then turned around to say goodbye again, "Master, take care."

Ye Yunlan: "...Take care."

The door of the study room was slowly closed, and Ye Yunlan raised her hand to stroke her shoulder, staying there for a moment on the painful spot.Then he got up and went to the window to check.

His eyesight was lacking, and he could only see Shen Shu's figure passing through the sea of ​​flowers, to a place he couldn't see, leaving only a faint outline.After a while, even the outline is gone.

Ye Yunlan didn't close the window, but just walked back to the desk and sat upright, picked up a pen, and meditated—?

Then put pen to paper?

Shen Shu.See words like meeting.

When you read this letter, you have gone to Huangquan as a teacher.

I want to teach you not to worry about it, but also think about the promise I made with you. After all, I am breaking the promise for my teacher.This matter is the teacher's fault.

……

There was wind blowing through the window sill, and the wind chimes outside the bamboo building rang.Ye Yunlan wrote the last word, folded the letter paper, put it in an envelope, and pressed it with an inkstone.

It's almost noon, the sun is rising, and the sound of warblers and sparrows outside the window is endless.

Ye Yunlan got up and went to the kitchen in the backyard, and saw a wooden frame with more than a hundred dishes of meals neatly arranged on it.There are dishes, pastries, soups, etc., which are placed in different categories, and the names and ingredients are even marked with bamboo sticks, and then sealed with a formation.

He took out the dish from the wooden stand, and it was still warm in his hand, with a scent that hit his face, and the color was bright, which made his index finger move.

It is a squirrel mandarin fish and fresh vegetables with hibiscus.

Next to it is a bamboo bowl filled with white rice and a cup of tea.

He carried it back to the bamboo building, and ate the meal slowly by himself.He is sick and weak, and usually does not have a big appetite most of the time, but Shen Shu was afraid that he would not be able to eat enough when he was not around, so he made more on purpose - some, but he still chewed slowly, and it took a long time to finish all .

After clearing the dishes and chopsticks, I went to the study to read.

The red sun slanted westward.When it was Youshi, disciples from Cangshu Pavilion came over.

He was a young man with a simple and honest appearance, and his attitude towards him was very respectful.He returned all the books he wanted to return, and did not borrow any books. The Cangshuge disciple asked in surprise, "Me? I heard from Senior Brother Shen that you like reading books very much, why don't you borrow a few more?"

Ye Yunlan: "I don't need it for the time being. You don't need to come again this -? months."

The disciples of Zangshu Pavilion were very puzzled, but they still took the books and left.

When the night was getting dark, Ye Yunlan went to the bamboo forest in the backyard.

There is a pool of hot spring in the bamboo forest. The hot spring water is led down from the back mountain, and the surrounding spring stones are stacked very high, so you don't have to worry about being peeped.

Ye Yunlan—? He took off his clothes one by one, his black hair fell loose, and he stepped into the hot spring.

Lingling moonlight shone on his pale skin.The sound of running water gurgled in my ears.

He lowered his head against the rock at the place, silently looking at his reflection in the water.All he could see was a pale face and long hair like weeds. He felt like a ghost crawling back from the end of the underworld, lifeless.

Curly hot air rises, condenses into water droplets on his eyelashes, and falls into the spring water again, making——circular ripples.

At night, he went to bed and slept peacefully.

The quilt is cold.It was hard to fall asleep, but there were still nightmares at night.

There are many things in the past, and there are showers and thunder in the dream.

When I woke up again, the sky outside the window was not yet clear, and it was raining.

The patter of rain.Drowsy sky.

He got up and went to the window.

There was a bamboo basket hanging on the window sill, and a fluffy golden chick fell asleep in the basket. Ye Yunlan reached out to caress the fluff on the chick's body, and then poked its head.However, Chick Cub remained motionless as a mountain, sleeping very soundly.

Ye Yunlan thought for a while, took down the bamboo basket, closed the window sill and locked it, and put the bamboo basket on the wooden shelf in the study.

Go back to the room to pack some clothes, take a few bottles of Bigu Dan, wrap them into a bundle, and keep them at hand.

He picked up Queying and the paper umbrella by the door, and went out.

It's raining cold outside the window.

The faint fragrance of flowers floats in the moist air.

Holding a paper umbrella, Ye Yunlan walked through the winding path among the sea of ​​flowers and stepped into the green bamboo forest.

"Where are you going?"

Suddenly -? A cold voice sounded.

Ye Yunlan stopped walking, and saw a man in a white-clothed crane cloak quietly looking at him in the bamboo forest.

"What about me has nothing to do with the suzerain." Ye Yunlan said.

Qi Yunjun said: "You are my disciple of Tianzong, and I? I am the master of Tianzong, so it has nothing to do with it." His complexion was much paler than what Ye Yunlan had seen before, his breathing was unstable, and the surrounding bamboo leaves trembled slightly.The Taiqing Du'e sword hummed in his hand.

Ye Yunlan said: "Since the suzerain already has Dao Xin? Unstable, it is easy to retreat, why bother to meddle in other business."

Qiyun-jun said hoarsely: "My? Dao heart? Unsteady, it's because of you."

But Ye Yunlan only said indifferently: "So, what does it have to do with me?"

Qiyun-jun was silent——sighed, and said: "I? I owe you a lot. If you need anything, you can tell me. I? Help you."

"You help me do it?" Ye Yunlan's eyebrows flashed?—? A little sneer, "If I want you to imprison yourself for a hundred years, break the sword and abandon the way, will the suzerain also do it?"

Qi Yun-jun frowned tightly.

Ye Yunlan: "Since you can't, there's nothing to say. Sovereign, excuse me."

"You hate me?" Qi Yunjun said suddenly, his voice was very hoarse, "...why." Although he misidentified the person, he never hurt Ye Yunlan himself. But still so dissatisfied with him.

This kind of hatred seemed to come out of nowhere. Long ago, when he first met Ye Yunlan, he had already noticed it on the other side.

Ye Yunlan was so close to him when he was young, he would smile at him and call him "brother".

What has happened to make him what he is today.

Mr. Qiyun couldn't figure it out.

He only felt the aura rushing around in his body, the painful meridians could not be relieved, and fresh blood dripped from his thin lips.more and more.

Ye Yunlan looked at the pale man in front of him in a state of embarrassment, and didn't answer his question, only said: "Shouldn't you come to see me?"

Qi Yunjun: "I don't see you, how do I know where you are going?"

Ye Yunlan asked back: "Isn't it better not to know? You once mentioned to me the double cultivation of the contract, but up to now, your ruthless way has not been broken. It's just because you don't want to break it. Just like twenty or ten years ago, You never think of that memory because you don't want to."

Qi Yun-jun was silent.

Ye Yunlan said: "You have been delayed in the metamorphosis stage for more than twenty or ten years. Don't you want to break through? Use me to overcome the catastrophe of the heart and demons, from ruthless to sentient, and then from sentient to ruthless, to achieve a complete state of mind. It's a good idea."

"It's just that I still have something to do, please forgive me? I don't have time to accompany the Suzerain."

Qi Yun-jun said hoarsely: "That's not the case, me? It's just..." He couldn't say what it was.He couldn't even tell whether his feelings for Ye Yunlan were love or pity, desire or possession.

He had never had such complex emotions.He doesn't understand.

Ye Yunlan said: "A person who cultivates the ruthless way cuts off love, yet talks about the cause and effect of old love with others, how ridiculous."

As he said that, he had already stepped past Mr. Qiyun.

Qi Yunjun stood where he was, watching Ye Yunlan's back, frowning tightly, then bent down suddenly, and raised his hand to grab his chest.

Blood—? Drop by drop, splashed on the ground like red plums.

Taiqingdu Ejian trembled violently.

He raised his eyes and watched? Ye Yunlan's back disappeared at the end of the bamboo forest, and he raised his hand to grab something.But nothing caught.

The breath in the body is extremely disordered, and must be suppressed in retreat.He had no choice but to stand up with his sword and return to Yuntian Palace.

……

The sky was drizzling.

Ye Yunlan walked through the Green Bamboo Forest, then Wendao Slope, and finally came to the three thousand steps outside the sect gate.

The long steps are long, and in the distance are green hills like Daisy, and the mist is vast.

In his previous life, he was dragged down the long steps——he had a rough life, and that was the beginning.

But in this life, he only wanted to live a peaceful life, so in a few years, he only walked out of Tianzong twice.

The first two times were accompanied by people.Now, it's the third time.

Everything in the past is like a dream.

Holding the shadow sword, he was alone in the wind and rain.
