all beings pity you

"What about Wen Ping?"

Zhu Yu just nodded, looking more than a little embarrassed.

At that time, their souls were on the verge of dissipating. If Zhu Xuan hadn't tried every means to keep them, they might not have been able to get in on the road of reincarnation.It's just that Wen Ping's soul had already been damaged at that time, and he didn't know anything about the past, let alone how he died and by whom.

Wen Ping is mentally incomplete, and he is completely like a child who only plays around on weekdays, but there are always traces of the past in the past century.That time when the three of them were heading to the westernmost part of Wuwang City, they were attacked by an evil spirit when passing through a dense forest. While Zhu Xuan was desperately protecting the two of them, the evil spirit had already been sliced ​​to pieces like a dagger.

The two questioned for a long time under Wen Ping's rare domineering gaze, but in the end they only got Wen Ping's confused sentence: "I don't know."

"Yes. When I saw the short knife on Wen Ping's waist before, the pattern on the knife was always familiar, but I probably only saw it once or twice in the past, and I didn't remember it for a while, and I only saw the knife The pattern on the handle, when I suddenly saw him chopping wood with a knife that day, I saw what was on it."

Zhu Xuan vaguely felt that something was wrong, and Zhu Yu's face became more and more gloomy, so he hurriedly asked:

"Is there any source?"

The two looked at Wen Ping at the same time, but Wen Ping still returned the blank expression.

"I know more about the world than you, but it's been too long and I'm afraid I'll remember it wrong. The pattern on the short knife is an organization called Shadow that has been rampant in the middle of Sichuan for more than a hundred years. It mainly trades souls. These people They come and go without a trace, their body skills are weird, and they often have a black iron knife in their hands. Those with profound martial arts skills can often destroy their souls even if they are killed with a single knife."

Zhu Xuan asked back: "In that case, Wen Ping, who is incomplete in soul, is the one who murdered people in the past? Then why is he himself..."

"Because of the failure of the mission, I have feelings for the person who deserves to die. In the end, I can only choose to pay for it with my own life. But I heard that in the shadows, one life cannot be exchanged for another life, and the damned person will die, but it's just normal Killing by hand will not harm the soul."

Yu Sheng answered the conversation easily while standing a few steps away.Zhu Xuan looked at Zhu Yu in disbelief, and Zhu Yu nodded slightly, indicating that was exactly the case.

"The shadow still exists today. As early as more than ten years ago, I bumped into it once, but I couldn't find out at that time. Later, I heard that people in the mortal world often died because of it. Judging by his condition, the soul should have completely dissipated. But in the end, I don’t know how to keep a part of it, presumably there are other secrets in it.”

Zhu Xuanxiuzhi's long eyebrows were tightly frowned, and the eyelashes at the corners of her eyes would always tremble slightly at such times.Yu Sheng's eyes fell directly on Zhu Xuan. Zhu Yu was still serious, but at this moment he was at a loss and didn't know where to put his eyes. After a few moments of silence, the atmosphere became a little subtle.Zhu Yu coughed lightly:

"But it doesn't really matter whether you remember it or not. The past is over and there is nothing worth remembering."

"That's true, but his soul is incomplete. Even if he enters reincarnation, the incomplete soul in the next life will also be mentally incomplete because of the incomplete soul..."

Zhu Xuan used to be in the fairy gate, but those years were fleeting. In fact, he didn't know what to do, so he could only look at Yu Sheng who was still standing two steps away.Yu Sheng smiled helplessly like looking at a child, and walked over slowly.

"It's difficult to know what happened a hundred years ago, but it's no problem to complete his soul. It's just that if he doesn't want to remember, we may just add a shackle to him..."

Zhu Yu and Zhu Xuan looked at Wen Ping at the same time.Wen Ping's age does not look very old, but because of his pale face, his handsome face looks like it was carved from a piece of cold jade.Over the past hundred years, I have forgotten my past and just become a carefree child.

Wen Ping looked puzzled. He really didn't know why the three of them kept staring at him today. He frowned slightly, tilted his head, blinked twice, and looked over.

Zhu Yu's hand hidden under the sleeve was suddenly clenched tightly, and her pale fingertips were pressed into the palm that was no longer warm. After a long time, she suddenly loosened.

"Forget it, that's it." Zhu Yu went to Wen Ping and squatted down slightly, raised his hand to rub two handfuls of Wen Ping's hair, "If you don't remember it, don't remember it. If you are not mentally complete, you will not be complete. The next life is still far away, so don't be afraid. "

Wen Ping was in a daze, his hair was frizzy from being rubbed, and he became a little tempered, and lightly patted Zhu Yu's big hand away, "Don't touch me."

The world is like water and people are like duckweed, they go back and forth a thousand times, but in the end they still fall back to one place.

Zhu Yu raised the corners of his lips slightly, and when he looked at Zhu Xuan again, Zhu Xuan was already bowing his head to say something to Yu Sheng, his expression was even a little joyful, his eyebrows and eyes similar to his were picturesque, and his bones were due to half his life. Because he was half dead and never bloomed again, he fell into Yu Sheng's incomparably tender eyes, like a child who was happy with sugar.

Yu Sheng seemed to notice it, and after the two eyes collided, they both looked at each other and smiled.

"Zhu Xuan." Zhu Yu called him in a low voice, inexplicably carrying a bit of his majesty as an elder brother. Zhu Xuan didn't dare to resist for a while, and was stunned on the spot, and then he walked to Zhu Yu's side in response.

This may be the last time for the two of them to clearly feel the closest connection between themselves and this world.When two babies were born a hundred years ago, there was a silk thread called blood, which was tightly wound, but by accident, they stood at the intersection of parting ways prematurely.

A hundred years later, Zhu Xuan may still be Zhu Xuan, but Zhu Yu is no longer Zhu Yu.Get rid of everything in this life, and then carry another completely different soul into the world.

Thoughts in Zhu Xuan's heart were surging, but he understood very clearly why he couldn't say it.Zhu Yu and him looked at each other for a long time before he could speak, and only said one sentence:

"...Go back quickly."

Zhu Xuan lowered his head and tightened his lips, then raised his head and smiled in relief: "Okay."

-

There are too many souls coming and going in Wuwang City, and those souls who should have been scattered long ago have always kept their last thoughts in this life at the cost of the next life.Zhu Xuan is the most special one, but also the luckiest one.

It has been a while since Yu Sheng and Zhu Xuan left Wuwang City. The surface of the Liansheng River outside the city seemed to be frozen. The two deliberately did not walk too fast. Zhu Yu, who sent him off, felt that the two of them were dawdling, and angrily said "Don't come back!" and left directly.

"Brother... why are you always staring at me?"

Yu Sheng felt that his face was about to be pierced by Zhu Xuan's gaze, and then he thought out of nowhere that Zhu Xuan's agreement to leave with him was just a temporary delay.He secretly speculated a lot with lingering fear, and finally couldn't resist asking out in a cold sweat.

Zhu Xuan withdrew his eyes in embarrassment, then raised his hand to rub the tip of his nose, and then replied apologetically:

"I didn't expect it to be you that day, and I didn't recognize you for a while... Besides, you have changed so much in the past hundred years. I just kept thinking about what changed so that I couldn't recognize you..."

"..." Yu Sheng desperately suppressed his complicated emotions, and said aggrievedly: "It's not my brother's fault, I shouldn't be able to recognize it, after all, it's been too long since I haven't been by your side." Yu Sheng took the opportunity to look carefully again Describing Zhu Xuan from top to bottom with his eyes, he said:

"I won't fail to recognize my brother."

Zhu Xuan sighed, "Naturally, I'm not like you. There hasn't been any change in the past 100 years..."

Zhu Xuan's soul was forcibly kept in his body. For a long time, he always felt that he was neither a human nor a ghost. It took a while to care about this feeling, until he met Yu Sheng a few days ago.

The young man who was only between his eyebrows at that time, now always likes to lower his eyes slightly and focus his gaze on himself accurately. The thinness and unshaven bones unique to children when they first met are no longer there.

Now that Zhu Xuan was standing next to Yu Sheng again, he lost his youthful exuberance, and instead added a lot of cowardice.Compared with Yu Sheng's tall and slender figure, Zhu Xuan stood beside him, and no one would believe him if he said he was a senior.

No matter how long the road is, there will be an end, and the two soon arrived at the place where they met that day.

"It's no wonder that senior brother can't come back. I searched in the Three Realms for a hundred years before I found some clues, and finally found this place."

Zhu Xuan nodded. There were two gaps in the surface of the Liansheng River that was accidentally frozen that day, and there was a formation around the gap that he didn't know.He has no memory of how he arrived at Wuwang City, he only knows that he regained consciousness in layers of ice, and then went to Wuwang City standing in the mist in the distance.

He asked with some chills down his spine: "Yu Sheng, tell me the truth, what is the method you found? I should have been devoured by evil ghosts, from body to soul. , even I don’t know why, how did you find this place?”

After Yu Sheng retracted the formation around the gap with a wave of his hand, the frozen place began to evaporate and melt quickly, and the river surface was about to come together tightly again.Before Zhu Xuan could wait for Yu Sheng's answer, he was grabbed by him and fell into the river in a flash.

People seem to have fallen into the void, and there is a gust of wind rustling by their ears, splitting the gradually dimming light into countless fragments. Zhu Xuan heard some unreal voices coming from his ears in the darkness.

"It was not long after you left, when I went to Kunwu Mountain again, I discovered that the resentment under Wanguiya was not there at all. The seal was just to prevent these monsters from causing turmoil again. The resentment has been accumulated for many years. It shouldn't be like this It's not completely clean, probably the master and ancestors took the opportunity to solve the problem before it happened...so don't worry, brother, I also hit by mistake, and there was no accident when I came here."

Zhu Xuan was silent for a while, only felt his body falling rapidly in the darkness, the feeling of falling was unexpectedly familiar, and at the same time brought out the undetectable fear deep in the bottom of his heart.But in this endless chaos and darkness, a powerful hand embraced him gently, and the other arm held him tightly in front of his body, and the temperature fell on his cold skin through the thin clothes.

"...It's good if you don't have one. You must have made a lot of progress in the past hundred years, but you better not lie to me... You can't be put on the tip of the knife because of me."

Yu Sheng raised the corner of his mouth slightly, but he still couldn't say the words that were pressed in his heart.

Since the day you left, I have been living in the sea of ​​swords and flames every day, and my body and mind have already been riddled with wounds. Only you can save me.
