The bright moon sits on the ground

and then?

After Chang Jinyu left Shenyun Pavilion, what happened?

Only then did An Pi think that this secret should be buried in his heart, rotted into mud, and brought into a dark and damp tomb by him.

The entanglements between the previous generation and those irreversible hatreds should not be known by the successors.

He never believed in "God's will in the dark" before. After seeing the fate of Nie Qiu and Fang Qisheng entangled, he couldn't help but sigh, whether it was good or bad, he had to Admit it, maybe everything happened when Chang Jinyu said to Chang Deng, "Come here, I'll take you away"; when Chang Deng broke his biological father's neck; when they parted ways after a long absence...

Also, when Chang Deng died in front of Chang Jinyu.

Everything may have already come to an end.

Chang Jinyu is a person who will never give up until he achieves his goal. He resolutely left Shenyun Pavilion at that time. What did he think of, or did he realize? An Pi had no way of knowing.

After leaving Shenyun Pavilion, they went to Zhen'e and got drunk with Zhang Shuangbi.

Zhang Shuangbi used to be a bad-tempered person, impulsive and reckless. After being captured by his father and brought back to Zhen'e, he drove the ducks to the shelves and forced him into the military camp. He made a lot of mistakes and owed a lot Later, he restrained his temper and became the always indifferent "King of Zhen'e" in the world - this is also due to the credit of the three brothers and sisters of the Zhang family.

Only when he was with the two of them did he take off his mask and become the same "Zhen Qing'e" back then.

An Pi asked him if he felt tired.

Zhang Shuangbi was holding the jug at the time, half tired and half drunk, after listening quietly, he shook the jug in his hand, the rest of the wine clinked, overshadowing the insects in the evening, and then he said , Behind me is the entire Zhen'e City.

His answer speaks for itself.

Whether you are tired or not, Zhen'e City stands there.

Therefore, he cannot take half a step back.

And Chang Jinyu just drank the wine next to him, one jar after another, and when he was drunk, he smiled and asked the frail and sickly Zhang Qi to taste the wine, or he would go to tease the quiet and restrained Zhang Yu, or he would rush up and down Zhang Rui was carried to the treetops.

When Zhang Shuangbi was sober, he could still frown to stop him, but when he was drunk, he couldn't tell the north from the south, and squinted his eyes and pretended to sleep.

At such a time, Zhang Qi would reach out and overturn the wine glass, cough twice, as if caught in a cold, his face was pale, and in a weak voice he begged An Pi to hold Zhang Rui down, let Zhang Rui push his wheelchair, let Concubine Zhang went to help him make medicine.

He always had an excuse to leave, and he could also quietly take away the other two younger sisters.

Fortunately, Chang Jinyu is not someone who cares about such trivial matters. Although he was turned off, he did not stop him.

Whenever other people left the venue one after another and only the three of them were left in the gazebo, it was inevitable to talk about the past.

An Picai has always been a non-drinker, so he was forced to have a few sips at most.

So, in the end, it was always him taking care of these two drunken drunkards in the middle of the night.

Zhang Shuangbi said, back then when I returned the carbine, I took down the head of the enemy general among the ten thousand troops, and ordered the enemy camp to retreat a hundred miles.

Chang Jinyu just laughed, who was the one who was almost beaten to the crap when he was facing the disciples of the Sword Sect?

Zhang Shuangbi breathed out the smell of alcohol, felt dizzy, and his voice trembled a little, very presumptuous, unlike any of his previous appearances, put down the wine pot, half leaned against the beam, and said: "At that time Obviously I am about to win, if not for..."

The conversation came to an abrupt end here, Zhang Shuangbi didn't continue, and Chang Jinyu didn't answer either.

But all three of them knew what he was going to say.

If Chang Jinyu hadn't gotten into trouble, An Pi would have gone to clean up the mess for him, so he ordered Chang Deng to help Zhang Shuangbi, who couldn't get away, buy a replacement gun head. I don't know much about spears and other weapons, so I cautiously went to the blacksmith shop that Zhang Shuangbi often goes to, and bought the kind that An Pi just mentioned, but Wen Yunshui insisted that he bought it wrong and replaced it.

It was only when it was time to play that Zhang Shuangbi found out about this. Zhang Shuangbi was angry and helpless, but there was nothing she could do.

So, he had no choice but to take a gun he was not used to, and bravely entered the ring, and lost as expected.

If not, his water gun should be invincible.Only then did An Pi lower his eyes, and the small copper wine glass twirled in his palm, and the wine inside was also stirred together, reflecting the stars in the mid-air, and the next moment it was washed into floating streamers and merged into the splashing water.

He knew that every time the two people in front of them were about to talk about Chang Deng and Wen Yunshui, they would stop unconsciously.

It was as if those two names could not be mentioned, did not need to be mentioned, and should not be mentioned.

However, there is no way to avoid these two names, it is there, like a deep ravine, unavoidable.

This time, however, it seems to be different.

Chang Jinyu was silent for a while, instead of avoiding the topic, he raised his eyes, looked straight at Zhang Shuangbi, and said, "Since we can't forget the friendship back then, why don't we go to them and explain it clearly?"

"Explanation?" Zhang Shuangbi broke into a broken smile, "It's been 20 years, Chang Jinyu. It's been 20 years, and everything has changed. Everything that should and shouldn't have changed. I don't know what they look like at this time, what they have experienced before, let alone explain to them, it is inevitable to be annoying if they bring up old things again, and..."

And whether they will remember, whether they are willing to accept it, is still unknown.

When I went to see him, what I saw was Chishuanghuo and Baiwenshui, or Changdeng and Wenyunshui, which they hadn't seen in 20 years.

Zhang Shuangbi didn't know, and didn't want to gamble.

Perhaps, they will be alienated and polite, and say with a smile, it has been so many years, we have long forgotten.

Or, the hatred has been carved into their bones, and the only way to draw the end is with blood.

Whether it's the former or the latter, everything can't go back to 20 years ago, can't it.

Chang Jinyu suddenly raised his head and looked at the starry night sky. This night was like every night he spent in the desert after taking away the Chang Deng. There was thunder, and there was a terrifying unknown.

He rested his knuckles on his chin, looked at it for a moment, then closed his eyes.

"You're right." He repeated, "It's unavoidable to bring up old things again."

"So, have you decided to run away?"

At this moment, a voice without a trace of intoxication rang out.

Chang Jinyu opened his eyes, the coldness in his eyes did not fade away, looked at An Picai, and said word by word: "I never escape."

"No." An Pi said, "Aren't what you are doing at this moment just running away from Chang Deng?"

"It's not escaping, but I don't think there is any need to explain." Chang Jinyu's tone remained unchanged, but he lowered his voice for the second half of the sentence, deliberately not letting the drunk Zhang Shuangbi hear, "From the moment I saw... From the very beginning, I knew that I had my ideas, he had his ideas, and the paths we chose were still running in opposite directions. In the past 20 years, they have been extending in completely different directions, and there is no room for turning around. See, there is not much difference between explaining and not explaining."

Even if the other party is his only blood relative in this world, so what.

Many things cannot be resolved with the same blood flowing.

An Pi just finished listening, but smiled: "Are you determined to just return empty-handed like this? Junior Brother, in my impression, you are not someone who would choose to leave at such a time and let all the previous preparations go to waste."

It is not without reason that Chang Jinyu would leave the Devil's Cult at this time and come all the way to find Chang Deng.

The relationship between them is difficult to explain clearly in a few words.

They are not the most important person in the other party's heart. They are dispensable, whether they have it, or they can live freely without it; but they are indispensable in the other party's life, and they can never be easily separated from the memory. At that time, maybe when the sun was rising, he would suddenly remember, oh, it turns out that he still has such a blood relative who is not on good terms.

This pair of brothers, probably so.

"Even you would think that my ideas are fantasies." Chang Jinyu put down the wine glass in his hand, and Zhang Shuangbi beside him was drunk and had fallen into a drowsy dream. He didn't know what they were talking about. "If Chang Deng knows, he should think I'm crazy, let alone go looking for it with me, he probably won't even think about it."

"What Kunlun, what are the Twelve Jade Towers, what are the places where the fairy dwellings are just things in legends." ' Such words."

Only then did An Pi think that sometimes he really felt that there was something wrong with Chang Jinyu's thinking, which was not normal, even Zhang Shuangbi did, so Chang Jinyu stopped explaining later, and just told them to wait. One day the dusty truth will be found out.

Chang Jinyu is bold and reckless. When he thinks everything is an illusion, he will no longer believe in falsehood.

He has never been afraid of the truth, no matter whether the truth is accepted or not, he will always choose the way to crush the lies.

However, that has nothing to do with what they're talking about at this point.

"Chang Jinyu, have you forgotten how miserable I was when I was chased and killed by them after I defected from Luoyanmen to Qinglongmen, and how disillusioned I was?" An Picai's voice was very soft, as if he was afraid of being disturbed Loved someone, "If you have experienced it, you will understand that trying your best to save a person's life, pouring most of your life's effort into it, but in the end you can only watch her die in your arms, How it feels. But I don't want you to understand."

"Frankly, nothing in this world makes sense to me," he said, "so I don't care about anything."

"But I hope you don't follow in my footsteps. After all, at least you still have a choice, don't you?"

In the end, Chang Jinyu was moved by An Picai.

After deliberation, they still didn't tell Zhang Shuangbi, they were going to persuade this stubborn person after everything settled.

They made some adjustments in Zhen'e, went to pick medicine for Zhang Qi, added new clothes to Zhang Concubine, practiced guns with Zhang Rui, went to inspect the barracks with Zhang Shuangbi, looked into the distance from the city gate, and listened to Zhang Shuangbi singing a song he hadn't sung for a long time. "Guanshan Moon".

Zhang Shuangbi's singing is not very good, it is better to say that he is talking eloquently than singing.

The fresh wind was blowing on his face like icicles, blowing his voice away, but he could still hear sporadic words clearly.

The bright moon rises from the Tianshan Mountains, among the vast sea of ​​clouds.

Sitting on the moss-covered city wall, the king of Zhen'e, dressed in white and green robes, with downcast eyes, tapped the shattered shield with his knuckles, and repeated an ancient song with a simple rhythm, with the solemn wind as a foil, Opened his lips and sang—

Tens of thousands of miles of long wind blows Yumen Pass.

So wanton, so leisurely, the wind and the hawk chirping, singing and laughter, these are An Pi's last memories of that time.

What followed was the thick bloody smell that could not be ignored, spreading from the deep bamboo forest.

He thought it was time for this sudden, long and old memory to come to an end.
