He Xianzun's Centennial Itch

The dark snowy night in Yanzhou City shattered and dissipated, and the next scene was Kunlun.

"Junior brother, it's not easy to change the way and re-cultivate. Have you really thought about it?" Gui Yunji frowned, and his eyes were full of worry when he looked over: "You have been practicing swords since you were three years old, and you have been doing it for decades. How much do you pay, and you may find a way that is more suitable for you than the way of killing swords?"

"Senior brother, you don't need to persuade me anymore. I have decided to leave the sect to travel and find other opportunities." Xie Yunlian's voice was flat as if he was talking about a trivial matter: "I know that senior brother is worried, but after so many years, the damage to my Dao heart has not healed. , even if we forcibly break through this way, I am afraid that we will not be able to lift the sword."

Gui Yun sent a meal, and glanced at Xie Yunlian: "Are you going to find another opportunity, or do you want to do some merit and send these souls in Yanzhou into reincarnation early?"

Xie Yunlian said calmly: "There are all of them."

Gui Yunji was silent for a while, and then sighed: "Go...you look cold and hard, but your heart is too soft, it's good to grind it, but the evil cultivators are ready to move around these few years, you have to be careful when you are alone. "

"Yes." Xie Yunlian got up and gave a gift to Guiyun, but he did not leave, but said: "I still have one thing to ask senior brother for help."

As he said that, with Gui Yunji's disapproving look on his face, he called out his natal sword.

Xie Yunlian's natal sword used to be silvery white, and there seemed to be moonlight flowing when he swung it. It took him nearly ten years to build it by himself, but now this sword seems to be shrouded in a layer of gray light.

"Brother, please help me open the abyss." Xie Yunlian said.

Jiyuan is easy to enter and difficult to exit. Except for the exit of Nanli Tianxia, ​​a passage can be opened by specific means. Xianzong often throws evil cultivators in this way.

"You..." Gui Yunji seemed to want to persuade him again, but his eyes fell on Xie Yunlian's face. He knew exactly what kind of temperament the junior was raised by himself, knowing that Xie Yunlian had made up his mind and it would be difficult to change it. In the end, he couldn't resist him, and turned around with a flick of his sleeves: "Follow."

Xie Yunlian stood up straight: "Thank you, brother."

Gui Yunji snorted coldly, and said angrily, "Thank you for being alive."

Qi Hanzhi watched silently as Xie Yunlian put the sword in "Yanzhou" under Jiyuan.

No wonder.

No wonder Yanzhou disappeared in just a few hundred years, no wonder these mortal spirits were able to reincarnate safely in such an environment as Jiyuan.

Jianxiu's natal sword is like a half body, Yun Yin's body is held in the mortal world, and Xie Yunlian's half body is held in Jiyuan. For the survival of ordinary people in Yanzhou, distraction and body actually made similar choices.

The turbid air of the extreme abyss will continue to erode this sword, just like Xie Yunlian himself. Xie Yunlian's meritorious deeds and the evil spirit of the divine sword will protect the city until he is completely severed from the natal sword.

And at this time, if Xie Yunlian failed to change his path, the decades of hard work would be completely ruined.

It's the real bottom line.

At dawn the next day, Xie Yunlian left Kunlun.

It's hard to say whether it's good luck or bad luck, but after he left for less than a month, he bumped into the Fuxi secret realm that was floating around in the world of comprehension, and was grabbed into it.

Fuxi inherited seven emotions to move strings. Xie Yunlian can easily play "anger", "sorrow" and "evil" with only the image of "evil cultivation", which is probably the same as Yuanying and natal sword he lived in Yanzhou. Inseparable from the relationship.

The earth veins and the extreme abyss, where the two turbid qi converge, Xie Yunlian can still feel positive emotions like ordinary people, which can be called a firm heart.

As Qi Hanzhi thought about it, the picture in the inner demon realm flashed, flying past what he saw in his dream, and finally stopped on a snowy night with a moon.

This is the seventh year that the two have been dragged into the secret realm.

After Xie Yunlian popped up "fear" as if suddenly enlightened, it was a few years of calm.

Qi Hanzhi has calmed down about getting out as soon as possible. After all, this person's performance is really erratic. It's better to wait for the secret to release him after ten years.

Xie Yunlian only has the two realms of "love" and "desire" unbroken, but this immortal probably has no love or desire, every time he fiddles with the strings, it is a white open space, nothing, very boring .

Therefore, in the past two years, Qi Hanzhi was basically playing the strings, and the scenes given were all kinds of strange, although occasionally it was the darkness that disturbed the devil, but it was more normal.

One day, the demon lord plucked the qin with only one string in his hand. The scene changed and the two sat facing each other. In the whole world, except for the endless snow, there was only this lonely table and two chairs, and Xie Yun held back a peach tree with a crooked neck.

For some reason, the peach tree bears fruit in this midwinter, but both of them are used to it in the unreasonable Fuxi secret realm.

[Qi Hanzhi] Picked a peach, squeezed a Yushui formula, rinsed it off, and took a bite.

The Demon Monarch froze for a moment, covered by the silver mask, swallowed the peach meat without changing his face, then naturally broke the peach into two halves, and handed the unbitten half to Xie Yunlian: "Try taste?"

Xie Yunlian glanced at the half in his hand, took it obediently, and took a bite.

The peach flesh was crushed between the teeth, and the juice splashed out.

【Qi Hanzhi】Laughed triumphantly, and asked: "How does it taste?"

Xie Yunlian swallowed the peach flesh in his mouth, and replied, "It's bitter."

【Qi Hanzhi】Laughed again, a little lightly, different from before, lazily said: "I've never seen a bitter peach, but I haven't seen one that bears fruit in winter. It's probably because it's too cold today, so I can't bear it." It's gone."

"Yeah." Xie Yun responded, and took another bite. It was really bitter, as if it was going straight down his throat and pierced through the apex of his heart.

"Still eating?" [Qi Hanzhi] glanced at him.

Xie Yunlian couldn't explain why, but he really didn't want to throw away the bitter peach. He thought about it and found a reason for himself: "It's hard to break through the state of mind these days. This bitter peach may be a reminder of the secret realm."

[Qi Hanzhi] The only pair of eyes exposed on the half of the face covered by the silver mask fixedly stared at the man for a while, and then looked at the fruit-laden peach tree behind him. The movements were smooth, as if turning over lightly Roll eyes.

Xie Yunlian smiled for some reason.

[Qi Hanzhi] The cultivator of Xindao Xianzong is really strange, he sat down by the peach tree, and took a bite of the half peach in his hand by the way.

Really bitter.

The two of them ate up the bitter peach at the same time, neither of them thought about it.

[Qi Hanzhi] I had a core left in my hand, I dug a hole after thinking about it, and planted it casually: "The peach tree I planted myself will definitely not grow crooked like this one."

Xie Yunlian responded, "Naturally."

【Qi Hanzhi】Looking at his serious look, I couldn't help laughing.

The two chatted casually, most of these years have passed like this, occasionally they can make gestures or activities, and very occasionally they can discuss things.However, [Qi Hanzhi] has the natural unrestrained temperament of the Phoenix family, and his perception of "Tao" is more of an intuition that is far superior to ordinary people. Go, just listen to each other casually.

This long night seems to be no different from usual, but probably because we have been together for a long time, Xie Yunlian's aura was brought into the safe range by Fenghuang, [Qi Hanzhi] fell asleep leaning against the peach tree while talking .

Xie Yunlian sat quietly aside, for a while, just when Qi Hanzhi thought this ordinary scene was about to end, Xie Yunlian stood up.

He didn't restrain his breath intentionally, he just lightened his steps slightly, and walked to the sleeping [Qi Hanzhi].

It seemed that he hoped that the sleeping Phoenix would wake up, but also vaguely hoped that he would continue to sleep, which was very contradictory.

Qi Hanzhi held his breath, he felt something unexpected happened.

The next moment, Xie Yunlian raised his hand, and gently covered the silver mask that covered half of the Demon Lord's face.

The mask was easily removed, and the eyes of Phoenix under the mask were quietly closed, and the airflow under the straight nose breathed evenly, showing that Fenghuang, who was being peeped into his privacy, was sleeping unexpectedly peacefully.

Qi Hanzhi was shocked beyond words.

Firstly, an immortal with Guangfeng Jiyue's moral standards would do such an act, and secondly... Qi Hanzhi was a little uncertain as to why his face was so clear under the mask.

Is it because Xie Yunlian remembers his appearance, so it is like this in the reconstructed Inner Demon Realm, or is it because Xie Yunlian took off his mask back then, what he saw was such a clear face?

In the inner demon territory, Xie Yunlian's hand holding the mask trembled.

Qi Hanzhi understood, he did recognize himself.

It's hard to imagine how turbulent Xie Yunlian's heart was in those short breaths. The Immortal Venerable carefully isolated the intruder's perception of his emotions, and there was no way to know all his moods. Only the faint smile was displayed in front of Qi Hanzhi. There was a trembling unchecked, and then the Immortal Venerable gently put the mask back on.

[Qi Hanzhi] wrinkled his nose slightly, as if feeling a little itchy, and soon continued to fall asleep unconsciously.

Qi Hanzhi seemed to understand why Xie Yunlian hadn't contacted him for hundreds of years after leaving the secret realm.

Xie Yunlian recognized that the person he had been with for seven years was the helpless young man in Yanzhou City who had killed his beloved with his own hands.

And he fell in love with him.

The picture seems to be pushed to speed up, but in the blink of an eye, the peach trees in this snowy night are broken into spots of light.

[Qi Hanzhi] has woken up, and the two returned to the space wrapped in white mist. He was about to step forward to play the piano when Xie Yunlian stopped him.

"I have some insights, give it a try." Xie Yunlian said, his expression was the same as before.

[Qi Hanzhi] This is the first time I have heard Xie Yunlian recommending himself like this, and immediately became interested, and gave up his position, the pair of dark golden phoenix eyes under the mask were a little bit brighter, waiting for Xie Yunlian to start his speech with anticipation Performance.

Xie Yunlian exhaled, looked at the unaware [Qi Hanzhi], smiled slightly, and walked forward.

Under Xie Yunlian's hands, the qin became five strings, and he waved it arbitrarily - the plucking of the strings is to induce the state of the seven emotions, and after leaving the country, playing the emotions in the country is a breakthrough.

[Qi Hanzhi] The look of anticipation fell back after seeing Xie Yunlian's "love" or "desire" clearly.

The qin attached to the white mist disappeared, and there was no other change.

"Ah." [Qi Hanzhi] couldn't help sighing, since "fear", every time Xie Yunlian plucked the strings, it was like this, showing the cold state of mind of the little fairy who has no love or desire.

Xie Yunlian didn't say anything, he didn't seem to be surprised by this, he just stared at the lost [Qi Hanzhi].

Qi Hanzhi, who shared the perspective with Xie Yunlian, felt this very clearly. He watched himself circling in circles in this white mist, thinking about what would happen next, and suddenly seemed to have been unlocked , enlightened.

At the same time, the inner demon realm was sped up again, the ordinary day and night passed, and the banjo emerged from the center of the mist.

Xie Yunlian stepped forward under [Qi Hanzhi's] distrustful gaze.

The sound of the piano overflows from the fingertips, rushing like a turbulent current, like a huge wave passing through the throat, submerging countless living beings in it, the person who plucks the string seems to have compassion, and the feeling of loathing is intense under the fingers.

After a few turns, the sound of the piano gradually slowed down, like a lone boat sailing into a huge wave, trembling as if it was in danger of capsizing, but after a while, the sound of the piano became slower, as if the person who hit the strings couldn't bear the light boat to be here. The anger is gone, the sound of the piano is here, and the lonely boat is gone, leaving only a bit of tenderness and lingering taste.

No matter in the past or now, Qi Hanzhi can't understand the piano, but now he feels that he seems to understand a little more than before.

It's like he understands Xie Yunlian a little bit better.

"Zheng", the last sound fell, leaving only an endless trill, echoing in the empty mist.

The last two strings of the five-stringed harp emerge together.

Love and desire are always together, it is hard to say joy or sorrow.

Fuxi's secret realm is broken.

While the mind was shaking, Qi Hanzhi's suppression of Xie Yunlian's soul was inevitably affected, and at the same time that Fuxi's secret realm was broken, the suppressed soul seized the opportunity to expel the intruder from the sea of ​​consciousness.

Qi Hanzhi regained consciousness and sat up with his brows pressed together.

Turning to the side, he wanted to say something to Xie Yunlian, but found that the immortal frowned slightly and hadn't woken up.

Qi Hanzhi was startled, and raised his hand to touch Xie Yunlian's eyebrows, but he stopped halfway. He realized the reason why Xie Yunlian didn't wake up—in order to drive him out safely, Xie Yunlian used his own His spirit resisted the backlash.

Countless thoughts were churning in his mind, Qi Hanzhi looked at Xie Yunlian silently, he finally understood why the demons came here.

The Nascent Soul in the earth veins, the natal sword in the extreme abyss, the compassion and soft heart of the immortal venerable for the world, were thrown into "anger", "sorrow" and "evil" by those turbid qi, and all the rest, Is it "love", "desire", or the "fear" born before the clarity of love and desire, or even the "joy" of seeing the galaxy and the sky and the earth?

.........

All are born from the cold branches.

Xie Yunlian silently integrated "Qihanzhi" into his way.

The author has something to say: Why did Xie Yunlian secretly unmask:

He feels that he has realized it, and he is about to say goodbye, wanting to see what the person he likes looks like (blind but confident)

In the end, I really saw it clearly, and I still have a big hatred, people are stupid

And what did Qi Hanzhi understand in the state of love and desire where there is nothing?

nothing but him
