Master respects him by serving the devil

"Fanghua is not a person, he is just a piece of Fanghua wood. Although he is dead, ordinary fire cannot burn through."

Shangguan Pei was trembling all over, he stared at Shangguan Qing with his blood-stained eyes wide open, clutching his sleeves fiercely.

Seeing his reaction, Shangguanqing became a little happier, with a strong smile, "Brother, have you already guessed the whereabouts of that piece of Fanghua wood? I will pass it to you, saying that the calcination of the sacred wood will help the smelted wood." Things take shape, brother really believes in me in everything."

Shangguan Pei couldn't restrain his emotions anymore, and wailed in grief.

Is the person in front of him really his younger brother?Or a demon more bloodthirsty than himself?

He regretted it at the beginning, but what's the use?

It was he himself who threw Fanghua's body into the corpse-refining fire and burned it to ashes...

He originally wanted to use this method to revive Fanghua, but by accident, he personally destroyed him.

Shangguanqing said quietly: "Even if the body dies, as long as the tree is intact, it will be reborn on its own in a few years. He has no soul, and his body has been wiped out. There will never be another person like Fanghua in this world."

After mourning, Shangguan Pei just sat there in a daze, the remaining spiritual power and vitality in his body were dissipating faster and faster, he didn't know how to face his own brother, the brother who cut off his last hope with his own hands .

"...Why are you telling me this?"

Hearing this, Shangguanqing was stunned for a moment, and said aggrievedly: "I just want to see how my brother will react. Is there really such a deep obsession between one person and another in this world? I just don't know I understand that elder brother hates Fanghua so much, and why he wanted to revive him with all his strength when he was there."

He leaned over excitedly, frowned in confusion and asked, "Brother, tell me why?"

Why?

He hates Fanghua, wishing to peel his skin and cramps, and eat his flesh and blood raw, why revive him?

Maybe he was unwilling at first, he didn't allow Fanghua to die, how could Fanghua die?Everything he did had no direction and purpose after Fanghua died.

Later, there were many questions, and I wanted to ask Fanghua personally.Ask him why he didn't accept himself as a disciple back then, ask him why he is no worse than Dan Shu, why he can't get more love, ask him why he pushed himself off the cliff in the first place.

Do you really want to kill him yourself?

Later, the resentment has turned into hatred, hating him for helping the tyrant, hating him for helping Furong City destroy his entire city and kill his whole family.

However, he has been wandering alone for so long, and for 13 years, he has only Fanghua, his teacher and friend, and only Fanghua is left by his side...

How could he be willing to die?

Shangguanqing: "Ah, I understand, then I might as well tell my brother one more thing. After Fanghua pushed my brother off the cliff, what did my brother think of those vines supporting him on the cliff?"

He didn't give Shangguan Pei time to react, and said directly: "The war in Tianlan City and the bloody case of Shangguan's family had nothing to do with Fanghua. He hid you in a secret room and saved your life."

"Brother, how can you treat your savior as a murderer?"

In the end, Shangguanqing gave him the final blow. The truth he had denied, turned into a poisonous snake at this moment, uncovered his scars little by little, climbed into his heart, and ate his last life.

He imprisoned, whipped, abused, tortured, and humiliated his savior with his own hands. From body to heart, he hurt Fanghua to the core.

In the end, the two of them had tortured each other for so long.

But Fanghua is stubborn!

He didn't say a word, didn't explain a word, didn't ask for mercy, he allowed the punishment to be imposed on him, and Shangguan Pei tortured him until he was completely shattered. Even if he escaped by suicide, it was just to make Shangguan Pei give up his hatred.

It's all over...

Shangguan Pei didn't want to hear what Shangguan Qing had to say, so he reached out and pulled out his heart, and took a look at the beating heart.

It's red, and it's still beating alive.

Why isn't his heart black?It didn't rot into the mud, it didn't rot out of shape.

"...Sir, have you ever hated me?"

Whether you hate it or not, Pei will die for you.

Fortunately, after his death, he will be dissipated and ignorant. Although he really wants to see his husband again, he is even more afraid of hearing his blame.

But for a brief moment, the heart stopped beating in Shangguan Pei's hands, and he quietly lowered his head, dying silently...

Seeing this, Shangguanqing's pupils constricted suddenly, and he rushed to Shangguan Pei in a panic, "You haven't answered me yet! How can you die?" He shook Shangguan Pei's body vigorously, but the body fell down with a slam, and the heart in his hand also slipped and fell on the altar.

Shangguan Qing's lips were trembling, he was in a panic trying to stuff the bleeding heart into Shangguan Pei's heart, the ground was covered with blood, but even though the heart had been stuffed in, Shangguan Pei didn't open his eyes look at him.

"Brother! You can't die yet! You haven't told me what your feelings for him are? Why...why did you torture him and resurrect him? You haven't told me what this emotion is!"

He shook Shangguan Pei's body vigorously, and suddenly felt a convulsion in his heart. He grabbed his heart and sternly shouted: "Go back! Useless thing!"

pat-

A tear rolled down his cheek, dripping on Shangguan Pei's bright red heart that was no longer beating.

Shangguanqing reached out to touch her cheek in disbelief, her fingertips were crystal clear teardrops, mixed with Shangguan Pei's blood, the color was gorgeous.

"what is this?"

It's tears, the most useless emotion, flowing out of that useless thing!

He wiped it off vigorously with his fingers, and his eyes were red.

After calming down, Shangguanqing looked coldly at the corpse on the altar, and said in a deep voice, "I have worked hard for so many years, why can't I get an answer?"

He picked up the seal of the city lord and the inkstone of no return scattered aside, put on a grief-stricken expression, and staggered out of the cave.

Su Ye and Bai Ruo, who were guarding the entrance of the cave, knew that Shangguan Pei was dead as soon as they saw him.

Su Ye was still a cowardly and ignorant young man when he was an official, and he kept comforting him.

Bai Ruo glanced back at the depths of the cave, but didn't go in, and didn't speak.

Shangguanqing couldn't breathe from crying, choked up and said: "Brother is gone..."

He suddenly knelt down towards the two of them, "I beg you two immortals, don't destroy his... body, even though he really did so many outrageous things, but he is gone after all, I just want to give him a good life." He was coffined and buried in the ancestral mausoleum..."

Su Ye sighed, everyone has already gone, the dust has settled, even if it is a pity for this lonely and helpless young man, they will give the deceased a face.

So none of them entered the cave, no one knew how Shangguan Pei died and what happened before his death.

Shangguanqing endured his grief, as if he had grown into a city lord who could act on his own overnight.

He first arranged for his cronies to seal the cave and buried Shangguan Pei. During the seven days of vigil, the elders in the city were divided into two factions. One faction supported the only orthodox bloodline to inherit the city lord position, which was justified; The child, timid and cowardly, will definitely not be able to rule Tianlan City, so he proposed to appoint another person with a foreign surname who is not from the Shangguan family to succeed the city lord.

They seemed to have premeditated, on the third day after Shangguan Pei's death, they put the eldest son of the noble Zhao family on the candidate list.

Shangguanqing knelt in front of his elder brother's spiritual throne, indifferently, burning the paper money numbly. The flame in the copper basin was burning very brightly, making his eyes extraordinarily bright.

He allowed the elders of the two factions to quarrel endlessly, turning a deaf ear to it, and the elders of the faction who supported him gradually began to look like they hated iron and steel, and eventually they didn't bother to quarrel, and flung their sleeves away.

Su Ye and Bai Ruoyi hadn't left the city lord's mansion yet, and Bai Ruoyi didn't intend to meddle in the private affairs of other people's families. Su Ye was a little anxious. After all, this scene had something to do with him.

Su Ye stood up, holding the Jichen sword and said loudly: "Originally, I, an outsider, shouldn't care about this matter, but Shangguan Qing is a member of the Shangguan family, let alone he inherited the seal of the city lord and his elder brother's position as the city lord. ! Instead, it’s you guys, the elders are making noise in the mourning hall just after the city lord passed away, is it appropriate?”

Immediately, there was no sound in the mourning hall. I don't know if I think Su Ye's words are reasonable, or I am afraid of the Immortal Chensi standing behind Su Ye.

They had no choice but to give up today and exit the mourning hall.

There was only the crackling of burning paper in the mourning hall, and Shangguanqing, who was kneeling in front of the memorial tablet, suddenly said calmly, "You helped me today, and they will come again tomorrow."

Su Ye was speechless, they really couldn't interfere too much.

In front of Bai Ruoyi this time, Su Ye took the initiative to stand up for Shangguanqing. He originally thought that his master would blame him, but when he saw Bai Ruoyi's gentle expression when he turned around, the master didn't blame him, but walked silently. Beside him, tell him to put away the Jichen Sword.

Su Ye was at a loss for what to do with the sudden tenderness, so he scratched his head in embarrassment, and did as he did.

Shangguanqing glanced sideways at the pair of master and apprentice, a faint smile appeared on the corner of his lips, and a gleam of brilliance suddenly appeared in his eyes.

On the second day, Su Ye's master and apprentice wanted to say goodbye, but after seeing Shangguanqing, they were suddenly detained.

Shangguanqing said: "Can the two immortals stay for a few more days, and when my seven-day mourning period expires, please invite the two of you to attend my city lord succession ceremony."

Su Ye was puzzled, and said in surprise, "They...have you settled it?"

Bai Ruoyi, who had been keeping his composure all this time, couldn't help being surprised, and frowned slightly.

Although these elders were divided into two factions and had been fighting with each other for a long time, the faction that supported Shangguanqing was obviously at a disadvantage. Combined with Shangguanqing's previous character, the city lord who was indifferent to the world, it was difficult to protect this city with many enemies. Getting a bye is also obvious.

I don't know what method he used...

But at this moment, Shangguanqing is very different from the past. Everyone thinks that he changed his temper because of the loss of a loved one. Bai Ruoyi feels that things are not that simple, but he is too lazy to get involved in this muddy water.

Shangguanqing said with a gentle smile: "Since my elder brother handed over Tianlan City to me, I will definitely protect the things he cares about and prevent others from destroying them."

With such an expression and tone of voice, anyone who saw it would think that this pair of brothers respectful and have a deep friendship.

Su Ye had no choice but to look at Bai Ruoyi.

Unexpectedly, Bai Ruoyi did not hesitate for too long, and nodded in agreement.

After leaving the mourning hall, Bai Ruoyi said: "I originally thought that what happened recently was the work of Shangguan Pei, but now it seems that it may not be the case. There is something wrong with the city lord's mansion."

"Master, do you think that the matter of Hua Shanji's descendants was not done by Shangguan Pei?"

"It's just a guess. When I asked him, he first categorically denied it, and later confirmed that he did it himself."

After thinking about it for a while, Su Ye nodded, not to mention whether Shangguan Pei did it, even if it was really only done by him, there must be accomplices, and the person who helped him might be some elder in the city, and I'm not sure about it. Will people stop there, or will they continue to slaughter the descendants of the gods.

It's better to stay and have a look.

Shangguanqing arranged a room for the two of them in the City Lord's Mansion. Originally, they shared a room, but considering that the identity of the murderer was still unknown, Bai Ruoyi was worried that Su Ye's spiritual pulse was just opened and his cultivation was shallow, so he asked them to share a room. .

After returning to the room, it was late at night before I knew it.

Su Ye's mind suddenly froze. He couldn't control himself. He recalled the scene where he and Bai Ruo were in the same room in the Yunqi Bamboo Path, sleeping with their master in their arms all night, and suddenly felt awkward.

Especially when Bai Ruoyi sent him to confinement as a punishment the next day, thinking about it makes him shy.

It was getting dark outside, with occasional insects chirping and stars shining.

As soon as Bai Ruo went to the back mountain to deal with the enchantment, with his teleportation ability, he quickly switched back the enchantment between Tianlan and Furong, and rushed back to the residence at night.

Su Ye was sitting at the table, with so many conflicts in his mind, there was only one bed...

His mind was extremely disturbed, and he was constantly struggling to stay awake tonight, to watch the night spontaneously, or to huddle with the master?

He thought so seriously that Bai Ruo didn't even notice as soon as Bai Ruo opened the door.

He hugged his head and wailed, "Wow—won't you really want to sleep with Master?" He just complained to himself, and didn't realize that there was something wrong with what he said.

The original "want to sleep with Master" became "want to sleep with Master", and he didn't even realize that there was something wrong.

Bai Ruoyi's hand froze just as he closed the door, and his brows frowned slightly.

What nonsense are you talking about!

A little bit of annoyance welled up in his heart, and the hand that closed the door unconsciously used a little more strength, and there was a bang, which stunned Su Ye.

Su Ye raised his head abruptly, and saw his master standing at the door in white clothes, his long hair was scattered like splashed ink, his phoenix eyes were slightly raised, and there was anger between his brows.

Shocked, Su Ye nearly fell off the stool, and said in a confused way: "Master...Master, you...you are back."

"Hmm." Bai Ruo flicked her sleeves and walked into the room, the voice was nasal, and she didn't know whether it was "um" or "huh".

Not daring to speculate on what the master meant, and not daring to ask any more, Su Ye shrank his head like a quail, and secretly raised his eyes to see if his master was annoyed.

Seeing this, Su Ye was stunned.

Bai Ruoyi had already sat across from him, the warm yellow candlelight on the table was swaying, I wonder if it was reflected by this warm color, Bai Ruoyi's outline was delicate and gentle, and his eyes were extremely soft, without that harsh look , is really beautiful.

Su Ye folded his arms on the table, pressed his chin lightly, narrowed his eyes slightly, and the candlelight in front of him transformed into countless circles of light, which lightly blocked Bai Ruoyi's face, covering him with a hazy halo .

The person is obviously sitting in front of him, but it seems to be far away in the sky, hard to reach.

Su Ye's throat rolled, and he called softly subconsciously: "...Master."

He didn't realize how ambiguous his voice was, but Bai Ruoyi was startled, and for a moment, the tips of his ears turned red.

Bai Ruoyi: "Huh?"

The voice was still cold, but with a rare tenderness.

Su Ye seemed to be awakened suddenly, and suddenly realized that something was wrong with him. He frantically searched for a topic, and after a long time, under Bai Ruoyi's gaze, he could barely speak: "Master, you just went to Furong City. Did you meet Danshu? How is he doing?"

"he died."

"Dead?" Su Ye was shocked.

After thinking about it, he suddenly realized that Dan Shu came to Tianlan this time with the mentality of not returning. He swallowed the Returning Pill, and even if he returned to Furong City alive, he would not last half a decade.

Su Ye sighed, "He made this trip with the intention of mortal death, but he didn't bring Fanghua back."

The candle was flickering in front of him, Bai Ruoyi took the scissors to pick out the wick, and the room became brighter, he said: "I don't think, no matter Fanghua is alive or dead, Dan Shu is obsessed with it, he still has more." It is a good opportunity to return to Furong to explain the funeral."

Su Ye rested his chin on his pillow, looked at the faintly burning candles in front of him, and suddenly felt that this kind of comfort was really good, and the master in front of him cut the candles very well.

Why do we have to live and die?

What are you doing with so much hatred?Today you blame me, tomorrow you kill you, when will the injustice be repaid?

Su Ye rolled his eyes, grinned and said, "I feel really good and happy now."

Hearing this, Bai Ruoyi also curled up the corners of his lips with a slight smile. He put down the scissors and reached out to stroke Su Ye's hair. The tables were a little far away. Stretching out his neck, he put his head under Bai Ruoyi's hands.

He closed his eyes comfortably, like a dog cub, if he had a tail, he would have been wagging and wagging, very cute.

"Master, when Dan Shu left, he didn't know about our situation, did he?"

"Well, when I went, he was already dead. His uncle said that he was not unwilling when he left. The only regret was that he was worried about hurting you. He was buried under a century-old Dangshan pear tree in Fanghua courtyard."

Hearing this, Su Ye was relieved a lot. He knew that this century-old Dangshan pear flower carried the dreams of two teenagers and the gentleman who had been fettered with them all their lives.

A tree of pear blossoms, full of splendor, white and black hair, sighing that the relationship is deep and the relationship is shallow, the meeting is not at the right time, and the identity is not right, and finally betrayed the king.

The author has something to say:

Pei is offline, and the younger brother said that he will open a big one.
