Long Ying was rudely kicked out by Jiang Baizhou, and since then, she has not been able to get close to him for half a month.

Seeing is seeing, it's just from a distance, never get close.

Jiang Baizhou rejects people thousands of miles away, lives alone, occasionally sees Ji Yunchan, and sends her away without saying a few words.The attitude is still kind and refreshing, but it is only on the surface, it seems that it is difficult for anyone to touch his heart again.

It just so happened that Longying was also busy.

In fact, busyness is the norm. As the wildfire grows, internal and external affairs come one after another, and most of the decisions have to be made by Long Ying.However, what I am busy with these days is not these, but a big event.

Last time, when it came to the internal turmoil in Feiguang Hall, Ji Shixiong and Huang Qi, the master of Jishumen, tore their faces apart.Originally, the civil war was about to break out, and Huanghuo had arranged manpower to prepare for a sneak attack, but somehow the news leaked out. To prevent the wildfire from disturbing the situation, the Feiguang Temple did not start a fight.

Long Ying suspected that Song Tianqing's remnants of the party had not been purged, so he reported the letter to others, and then asked Hu Chongshan to rectify it in Luoshan, and sure enough, two traitors were caught.

As a result, things have changed. Ji Shixiong and Huang Qi tacitly reached a consensus of "resisting the outside world before making peace at home", and temporarily shook hands to make peace.

But anyone with a discerning eye can see that their "reconciliation" will not last long.

To say where the conflict between Ji Shixiong and Huang Qi started, it has to be traced back to the secret map of King Beixiao.

Back then, Ji Shixiong got the secret map from an unknown ancient tomb, and the person in charge of digging it was Huang Qi.

Huang Qi handed over everything he got to Palace Master Ji, and the most important piece of information was the secret method of becoming an immortal.

Huang Qi is obsessed with machinery and human body transformation, which is against the law of nature, but he doesn't respect gods and doesn't care.At that time, "appreciative half-armored people" were not yet popular. Out of his own desire, he tampered with the contents of the secret map of King Beixiao, and made up an excuse that black iron absorbs spiritual power, and tricked Ji Shixiong into saying that half-armored people can become immortals.

Ji Shixiong was convinced, and since then invested a lot of money to feed Huang Qi's selfishness.

After the dream of becoming a fairy was shattered, Ji Shixiong suffered a lot and woke up, only to belatedly realize that something was wrong.

The loss of money is a small matter, but being played by his subordinates as a monkey is a serious matter. Dianzhu Ji was furious and determined to tear Huang Qi's body into thousands of pieces to avenge himself for being deceived and used.

However, Jishumen occupies half of the Feiguang Hall, so it's not easy to kill Huang Qi?

Even if he killed him, he himself would have crippled one of his right-hand men and severely injured his vitality.

But Ji Shixiong couldn't swallow this breath no matter what. After the dream of becoming a fairy was shattered, his intense depression couldn't be resolved, and he needed to find a target to vent.And in his opinion, his own daughter severed the father-daughter relationship with him because of this, and he couldn't help but anger Huang Qi.

The superimposition of several reasons made Ji Shixiong hate him, and firmly believed that Huang Qi was the chief culprit of all evils, and he must be killed as an example to others.

Huang Qi saw through Ji Shixiong's thoughts, and knew that he had to usurp the throne or flee, and there was no third way to go.

But the world is bitter and evil, where to escape?The location of the Endless Sea is still unknown, trying his luck on the sea is tantamount to seeking his own death, and living in hiding is not something he can bear, so it is better to fight Ji Shixiong to the death and fight a bloody path.

In this way, in just half a month, the situation seemed to be calm, but in fact, storms were coming.

Looking forward, in the past six months, the black mist has sank a few feet, and the plants in the upper city have begun to wither. When spring comes, the vegetation that has been sleeping in the winter has no new buds, and they die silently.

This made the people in the upper city panic, unable to stand on the sidelines any longer.

Affected by the increasingly severe natural disasters, no matter the big or small people, it seems that they have become a little crazy, and the intensity of emotions has doubled.Those who know the "Five Elements of Heaven and Earth" dare not reveal the secrets, for fear of causing large-scale riots.

Jiang Baizhou's return was a secret, and none of Ji Shixiong and others knew about it.

He has been staying in the flood forest, not going anywhere.I just woke up early today and seemed to be going out.

Long Ying kept an eye on him secretly, although she didn't know where he was going, she was very worried when she saw him going out, so she followed him quietly.

Jiang Baizhou walked slowly, always stopping and going.

He left Luoshan first, walked on the official road, met pedestrians, and took the initiative to chat with them, as if asking for directions.After getting the answer, he went to his destination in a clear direction.

——It turned out to be the ancestral tomb of the Gongsun family.

The ancestral tombs of the three great families were all built in the lower city, because in their view, the upper city is a place without roots and not suitable for burial.

Although the Gongsun family has declined now, there are still people in charge after all, and the cemetery is still guarded.

But the face of the guard also showed the decadent look of a big family. They were listless and absent-minded, and they were lazy together, and they didn't even notice that Jiang Baizhou walked in.

Long Ying followed closely behind and went in too.

The cemetery was depressed.

The cold fog in the early morning of spring beat on the dead trees, turning the withered yellow into dark brown.A group of crows stood on a damp branch, their eyes wide open, they whispered to each other, and uttered a few lonely wailings.

The road under the feet is paved with stone slabs, and the grass poles are sticking up in the gaps between the stone slabs, which is quite obstructive.

Jiang Baizhou stepped on these weeds, and under the crowd of crows, he walked to Gongsun Bo's grave. After only a few glances, he turned his eyes away, as if he was going to find another grave.

Finally, after crossing the bulging mounds, he stopped.

In front of me is a new tomb, which was buried at about the same time as Gongsun Bo's. The tombstone says "Gongsun Shu's Tomb".

Gongsun Shu.A crack opened in Long Ying's vague memory, and a voice in his heart told him: This is Jiang Baizhou's father.

When he came to visit his biological father's grave, Jiang Baizhou was empty-handed, neither kneeling nor kowtowing.

He was dressed in plain white clothes and stood upright, even somewhat leisurely, as if he was meeting an old friend, and he should be happy.

He only heard him speak softly, and said to Gongsun Shu: "Long time no see, I'll come to see you. This is the first time I came back to visit your new cemetery, and there may not be a second time in the future. Let nature take its course, anyway, I will visit your new cemetery. Or not, you don't know."

There seemed to be something in his words, Long Ying frowned upon hearing it.

Jiang Baizhou stared at the tombstone with his head down, and murmured: "I understand what you meant by ordinary people. How can you have a good heart in the ordinary world? Heaven and earth are not benevolent, and they regard everything as a dog. Ordinary people are indecisive and have their own weaknesses. Clinging to love, everything is different in importance. When you judge the severity, you will inevitably feel anxious, lest you lose what you value, and you don’t care about what you don’t value. This is the root of all suffering.”

His voice was calm with melancholy: "I also have weight in my heart. Whenever I suffer from it, I can't help but think, it's better to go to the endless sea. Unfortunately, it seems difficult for me to go back. If one day, I Like you, I had to die in a foreign country, my remains..."

Jiang Baizhou paused, then suddenly said, "Forget it."

He didn't seem to care that much, and his slight sense of loss dissipated in the spring breeze, and disappeared in a blink of an eye.

Long Ying stared at him blankly, and saw that he suddenly walked up to a dead tree, gently raised his right hand, and made a gesture like kneading a formula to cast a spell with his palm facing the root of the tree.Then he kept this position for a long time without moving.

Under the gray sky, the crows suddenly dispersed for some reason, flapped their wings together, and flew high into the sky.

A gust of wind blew up on the ground for no reason, blowing the fallen leaves on the ground, gathered at Jiang Baizhou's feet, and kissed him respectfully.

At this moment, a ray of green and white light emerged from Jiang Baizhou's palm, circled around the dead tree a few times, and burrowed into the roots of the tree.

Long Ying opened her eyes wide, and saw that the dead tree suddenly became alive, and new green buds sprouted on the branches.

Immediately afterwards, there was a soft sound in the air, it was the faint sound of petals stretching, almost imperceptible, but thrilling.Long Ying hardly saw what happened, the dead tree was completely alive, and it was full of flowers.

It is a pear tree.

Jiang Baizhou revived it.

A large piece of pear blossoms bloomed in the wind, Jiang Baizhou reached out and broke off one, and put it in front of Gongsun Shu's tombstone as a sacrifice.

"I'm leaving," he said, "I won't be here anymore."

Turning around, he saw Long Ying not far away.

Long Ying didn't hide seriously, not afraid that he would find out.Sure enough, Jiang Baizhou didn't say much, he just cast a glance, and walked away as if he didn't see it.

The two walked out of Gongsun's Tomb Garden one after the other, and returned by the same way.

After half a month, Jiang Baizhou's anger did not disappear, but Long Ying could tell that he was so indifferent to her, not because of anger.

Combined with the scene just now, Long Ying suddenly felt an ominous premonition.

This premonition made Long Ying's mind blank, her hands trembling, as if she was covered by the shadow of doom, and she was at a loss as to where to escape.

He walked a few steps quickly, and pulled Jiang Baizhou's sleeve almost beggingly: "Brother Zhou, I have something to ask you."

Jiang Baizhou stopped and looked back at him, his face was still pretty and his expression was still cold.

Long Ying held onto it tightly and said, "I already know that I deliberately lost my memory and forgot about you."

"..."

Jiang Baizhou was slightly taken aback.

Long Ying said: "Are you blaming me for this? I deserve death, but I don't know why I am so cruel and abandon our past. If I can remember, you will be gentler to me, right?"

"No, you should forget about it." Jiang Baizhou said softly, "Be kinder to yourself, Xiaoying, don't always look at me, and put your mind on me."

"..."

He finally became gentle, and what he said was this sentence.

But Longying couldn't help but look at him.

Jiang Baizhou's every look, every movement, every word can move the wind and rain in Long Ying's heart.This point will not change with the disappearance of memory, as long as Long Ying is alive, his heart will always be shaken by Jiang Baizhou.

How to do?

Long Ying suddenly felt that she was living to chase Jiang Baizhou, otherwise he would have died at the age of 15.

Everything after that, everything in his life, is like a flower in a mirror, a moon in water.

He is a madman living in a dream, only the seemingly illusory Jiang Baizhou is real.

That being the case, what difference does it make to forget or not to forget?

Long Ying doesn't care about his lost memory, he just wants to catch the person in front of him.

But they were always interrupted, as if there were heavenly rules and regulations covering his head, not giving him a moment of peace.

Hu Chongshan suddenly sent someone to the door, asking him to go back and preside over the overall situation immediately——

Ji Shixiong discovered Huang Qi's smuggled cannon. One wanted to hand it over, but the other refused to hand it over. A conflict broke out between the two sides on the spot, and a fight broke out.
