[Devil's Law] When the Tulips Bloom

From that day on, Lan Haiyue always avoided Bai Heshou unconsciously, no longer took the initiative to look for him, and mostly remained silent when facing Bai Heshou who appeared in front of him.Even Chishui Duan, who always loves to confront Bai Hechou, has discovered the delicate relationship between the two, and secretly wonders if the two are arguing?Probably not, Lan Haiyue is very lenient, but as for Bai Hechou, that temper...can really quarrel with others?Chishui thought about it for a long time, but it was fruitless, and in the end he simply ignored it.

Bai Hechou, who is another party involved, doesn't seem to notice Lan Haiyue's estrangement, what it was like in the past, and what it is still like now.It's just that the eyes that stare at Lan Haiyue's back occasionally are far deeper than before, and there will always be a trace of hesitation inadvertently in his expression.

On the eve of Bai Hechou's 20th birthday, Bai Hechou found Lan Haiyue again, and they were still alone in reading a book and silently accompanied by the other.Bai Hechou tonight, the atmosphere around him seemed to be more indifferent than before, Lan Haiyue's book couldn't be read after a few pages.He could only raise his head to meet Bai Heshou's gaze.

"Yue." Bai Hechou said, with a serious and calm expression.

Lan Haiyue felt indescribable, he vaguely felt that what Bai Hechou was going to say next was not what he wanted to hear.The weak voice in his heart urged him to close the book and leave. If he didn't hear it, he didn't have to make a decision. Although escaping couldn't solve the problem, at least he didn't need to face it now.

But Lan Haiyue didn't.He just responded, "Chou, what's the matter?"

"Yue, if there is anything I care about in this world other than martial arts, then you are the only one." Bai Hechou's voice was undeniably sincere, and his eyes, which were usually as calm as pools of water, shone slightly. , he took a step forward, "Yue, would you like to come with me?"

Lan Haiyue was strangely not surprised.This Bai Hechou-style confession is not so straightforward, but he knows that this is Bai Hechou's most sincere words, maybe he already knew that Bai Hechou would say these words sooner or later.But how could he agree? They are brothers and boys, and the Daxue Mountain also strictly prohibits the affair between disciples...

Lan Haiyue had many reasons for rejection, one by one, but he didn't dare to think carefully about his feelings for Bai Hechou.So he shook his head without any hesitation, "Sorrow, we are all men and brothers, so there is no need to mention such things."

Bai Hechou just looked at Lan Haiyue for a long time. Although Lan Haiyue's expression remained gentle, the meaning of rejection was very firm.In the end, Bai Hechou actually smiled, he seldom smiles, this time there was a bit of sarcasm and inexplicable self-mockery in his smile, "Yue, I thought you were different, but you are just so worldly... that's all, I Bai Hechou is not enough to make things difficult for others, just pretend that I never told you anything."

Lan Haiyue didn't have time to say anything more, because Bai Hechou turned around and left without any remembrance.Staring blankly at Bai Heshou's receding back, Lan Haiyue felt that there was something that he completely lost.And from that day on, Bai Heshou never appeared in Lan Haiyue's room again.

A few months later, it was Bai Hechou's 20th birthday. There was never much celebration on Daxue Mountain, but Gu Lanxiu just finished his retreat this time, and the master and apprentice also took this opportunity to get together.For some reason, the relationship between Gu Lanxiu and Bai Hechou has never been particularly close.Gu Lanxiu once commented on Lan Haiyue, saying that if Lan Haiyue was born in the world, no matter if he was top-notch in martial arts or martial arts, no one would be able to escape from his palm.Gu Lanxiu also once said to Chishuiduan that if Chishuiduan was born in the secular world, he would become a top martial artist in the contemporary mainland.

Gu Lanxiu has never commented on Bai Hechou.But this time, without waiting for Gu Lanxiu to speak, Bai Hechou asked a question, "The three of us are all talented, which is of course good, otherwise, teacher, you would not have chosen us as apprentices. But ...Like us, even if we learn all the skills, be it the emperors and generals of the world, or the top warriors in the mainland... Even if we learn the skills to kill gods and demons, what's the point of sitting on the snow-capped mountains every day? In this case, what is the difference between learning and not learning?"

Gu Lanxiu couldn't answer this question, but just looked at Bai Hechou, who didn't seem to expect to get an answer from Gu Lanxiu, smiled lightly, and then resumed his silence.

Lan Haiyue felt that there was something wrong with Bai Hechou, and Bai Hechou was really wrong.It's just that they haven't been together for a few months, but Bai Hechou's personality seems to have undergone a huge change. The seemingly silent and indifferent person Lan Haiyue used to be familiar with is no longer there.

Lan Haiyue's heart was empty, and she couldn't tell what it was like.

What made Lan Haiyue's life even more difficult was the news he received the next day that Bai Hechou decided not to practice Frost Fighting Qi anymore!Lan Haiyue almost thought she heard it wrong, Bai Hechou said what did he decide?The incomparable astonishment in his heart made Lan Haiyue go directly to Bai Hechou's house. He wanted to ask why Bai Hechou made such a decision, and even more wanted to persuade Bai Hechou to take back this decision.

However, all Lan Haiyue's words were swallowed back into her stomach when she saw Bai Hechou's ice-like eyes. It was not the first time Lan Haiyue saw such indifferent eyes from Bai Hechou's eyes, but... …that’s all directed at other people!Bai Heshou had never looked at him like this before, just like looking at the other disciples on Daxue Mountain, no, even more indifferent than that.

"What's the matter?" Bai Hechou's voice was steady without any waves.

Lan Haiyue's lips moved, and finally found her own voice, "I heard that you decided not to practice Frost Fighting Qi anymore?"

Bai He said sadly, "The so-called power is ever-changing, and it is just a method. The ultimate mystery is the rules of power! As long as you master the rules, it doesn't matter whether it is ice, water or fire, what's the difference?"

Lan Haiyue silently stared at Bai Heshou's expression of being determined to win, such a pure and single-minded dedication... It was only at this moment that Lan Haiyue finally understood the meaning of what Bai Heshou said that day.In the past, what Bai Hechou wanted was only Wu Dao and him, but now... only Wu Dao is left, and he and Bai Hechou no longer have any special meaning.

fair enough.

"Since you have already made up your mind, then I won't bother you." Lan Haiyue's expression showed a sense of loneliness that he hadn't noticed, but Bai Hechou was not moved at all in his eyes, and in the end, only one person left and the other turned around leave.

After that, ten years passed in a blink of an eye, and Lan Haiyue's life went on as planned, without any change.However, Bai Heshou kept a low profile and never had a discussion with anyone else. There were more gossips and gossips against Bai Heshou. Everyone felt that Bai Heshou's strength over the years must have not increased but retreated.

Chishuiduan provoked Bai Hechou more than once, but was ignored by Bai Hechou, and occasionally complained to Lan Haiyue.Lan Haiyue just listened, and smiled to comfort Chishui Duan, but never lost confidence in Bai Hechou.Even if there is no basis, Lan Haiyue believes that Bai Heshou will succeed in the end.

And this year's competition also proved that Lan Haiyue was right!He and Chishui were defeated by Bai Hechou one after another. He knew that Bai Hechou had become stronger, even stronger than he had guessed!What Lan Haiyue didn't expect was that Bai Hechou dared to challenge their teacher Gu Lanxiu!

In the battle between Bai Hechou and Gu Lanxiu, Lan Haiyue's realm was too shallow, and he couldn't see any way at all, but when Bai Hechou finally showed the flame fighting spirit created by his ten years of hard work, he understood one thing.In this world, there will never be another person whose martial arts talent can surpass Bai Heshou.

"Teacher, I, Bai Hechou, have lost a battle for the first time in my life today. Therefore, I will keep this scimitar forever and never forget the defeat today! Let's compete again in ten years' time." Fighting, Gu Lanxiu finally cut off Bai Heshou's scimitar with the help of "Beauty under the Moon", but Bai Heshou picked up the knife and left these words, then turned and left.

The disciples all dispersed one by one, but Gu Lanxiu looked in the direction of Bai Hechou's departure with an unpredictable expression, and heaved a long sigh.

"Teacher." Lan Haiyue felt uneasy. Today, Bai Hechou can be defeated by one trick, but what about ten years later?Can the teacher still defeat Bai Hechou?If the teacher loses, Bai Hechou... what will he do?

"I hope it's just me..." Gu Lanxiu patted Lan Haiyue's shoulder in a low voice, refusing to say anything more.

Lan Haiyue's mood became even heavier.

Another ten years, it is still the big competition, this time everyone on the Daxue Mountain is waiting, waiting for Bai Heshou to appear, waiting for his battle with the witch king Gu Lanxiu, everyone is curious, they want to know who Bai Heshou is Not really has surpassed the Witch King.Only Lan Haiyue didn't want to see or know the answer, but she had to come.

Even though some people had guessed that Gu Lanxiu would lose, they did not expect such a process.The sand in an hourglass didn't even flow one-third of the way, and the two had already decided the winner.Gu Lanxiu tried his best, but in front of Bai Hechou, he couldn't even hold on for a while longer.

There was silence all around, only Bai He's sorrowful sigh echoed in everyone's ears, "Unfortunately, in this world, I can't even find a person who can force my scimitar out of its sheath."

Lan Haiyue's heart began to beat crazily, he already knew, he knew what Bai Hechou would do next!With Bai Hechou's disposition, no one in the Great Snow Mountain can surpass him, but there are still existences on the mainland that he can challenge!How could Bai Hechou be willing to hide on the Daxue Mountain all his life?How could he be willing? !How could they be willing? !

Of course, Bai Heshou would not be reconciled, since the Daxue Mountain would become his obstacle, then he would win everything in the Daxue Mountain, and the obstacles would naturally disappear.Whoever wants to stop Bai Hechou will be killed by Bai Hechou, everything is as simple as that.Bai Hechou went on a killing spree on the Daxue Mountain. He personally killed six of the eight white-clothed shamans under the Witch King's throne. Yue and Chishui fled away.

"Lan Haiyue, Chishui Duan, even if you leave Daxue Mountain today, I will kill you one day!" Bai Heshou, who was trapped in the formation by Gu Lanxiu, spoke coldly and resolutely. People are frightened.

Lan Haiyue didn't notice that her body was trembling slightly, she just grabbed Chi Shui Duan with one hand, and ran away without looking back.

Gu Lanxiu said that there is a curse in Daxue Mountain, but anyone who kills his fellow disciples will be cursed back, and the cursed person will immediately age instantly, as if poisoned by time, every minute and every second, his body will Under the rapid passage of time, the rapid aging goes down.No matter how tenacious a person is, he will grow old and die in less than half a day.

But Lan Haiyue knew that this curse couldn't kill Bai Hechou!In the end, Gu Lanxiu died, and the Daxue Mountain was wiped out by Bai Hechou's thunder, and Bai Hechou became the new witch king.Chishui refused to give up and insisted on diving into Daxue Mountain to find out. Lan Haiyue couldn't stop him, so he could only wait at the foot of the mountain.

Unexpectedly, the scarred Chishui Duan was waiting for him, and only then did Lan Haiyue know that Bai Hechou actually chose to freeze his body to cut off all vitality to suppress the curse.While the two were exchanging information, Bai Heshou, who came possessing someone else, actually chased him down!

At that moment, Lan Haiyue almost desperately thought that he would really die here, the place where he and his teacher met Bai Hechou for the first time.But the only good thing is that Bai Heshou can only display one level of strength at the moment. Although he and Chishui have joined forces, even if they can't beat Bai Heshou, they won't be killed so easily.

They were in a stalemate for a long time, and finally Lan Haiyue closed her eyes, and when she opened them again she was extremely determined, "Bai Hechou, don't you think you are invincible? Didn't you say that there is no one in this world worthy of your sword?"

Bai Hechou stared at Lan Haiyue, "What do you want to say?"

Lan Haiyue's embarrassment at the moment couldn't conceal his own elegance, he even smiled at this moment, "Bai Hechou, do you dare to promise me?"

"Promise what?"

"If you are really as invincible as you think you are, swear here! Unless you can defeat us without a single wound, otherwise, even if you can defeat us, as long as you are slightly injured, you cannot kill us. kill us."

Bai Hechou was silent for a long time, and finally said slowly, "I know your purpose. But why not promise you?" Then he changed the subject, "However, I want you to make an oath, unless I die in the future, Otherwise, you will not be able to step up the Daxue Mountain for the rest of your life."

Lan Haiyue and Chi Shui Duan looked at each other, gritted their teeth and nodded at the same time. This was already the best result they could get right now.

Bai Hechou turned around and flew up the Daxue Mountain without any hesitation, and Lan Haiyue walked in the completely opposite direction without any hesitation.

The brothers who have been brothers for decades, after all, at this moment, they are going in opposite directions.
