Monster Bar is open

Under the moonlight, the dilapidated clock tower was reflected in a pale color, and everything was eerily quiet.

blah blah...

The rotten dial made a crisp sound, time passed unknowingly, and the glass-colored hour hand slowly moved forward one notch, and then completely returned to zero.

At the same time, Yue Chenzhou stepped onto the last step.

He hesitated for a moment, then turned his head to look at the endless winding stairs protruding from the darkness, with a complicated look on his face.It was as if he was extremely guilty and bored with this intertwined fate.

After a while, he sighed.

A figure was sitting under the dial of the bell tower, resting his chin in one hand, looking up absently at the gray and misty sky.

The strong night wind blew up her clothes, elongating her figure into a thin line, which looked like an hour hand, integrated with the clock dial behind her.

She turned her head, revealing a plain face.It's just that those eyes reflect a starry smile, which can be called Gu Panshenghui.

"Small, Shiqing." She barely stood up while leaning on the brick wall of the bell tower, her smile blooming in the dark night, "Miss me?"

The moonlight was dim tonight, and the surroundings were dark, but Yue Chenzhou could still feel the tears rolling out of his hot eye sockets, even though he didn't make a sound.

——She is no longer the cold phantom that repeats the mechanical smile over and over again in the nightmare, but the person who actually exists in front of Yue Chenzhou, just like a thousand years ago, with gentle and familiar eyes, surrounding Yue Chenzhou's body, wrapping him souls to distant places.

"Jianglou...you really...why..."

Jiang Lou just tilted his head and said with a smile, "Our time has grown up."

"Are you still alive?" Yue Chenzhou looked up at Jianglou's light figure like a gust of wind, and couldn't even blink his eyes. It took him a long time to make a shocking voice, "Jianglou, I..."

...I really, really miss you all.

However, in the next second, Jiang Lou's figure quietly disappeared, and when he reappeared, he was already in front of Yue Chenzhou.

She was still smiling, her figure was like a mist, almost transparent.

"I'm dead. Only the last bit of obsession remains in the world."

This is her resting place. When the East Territory is in trouble, offering the last bit of spiritual power is the only thing she can do, and it is also the only reason why she remains here.

Jiang Lou's gentle gaze was the same as in his memory, and his weak voice seemed to be scattered in the air: "I have long since died. The spirit body returned to the land of the Eastern Realm, just like it provided for me back then. This is what you saw with your own eyes. , isn't it?"

Yue Chenzhou closed his eyes.He felt that the temperature of the night wind this night was comparable to the ice fog that raged in the depths of the cold environment back then, penetrating into the body from the limbs, freezing every nerve into a fragile solid.His whole body couldn't help shaking.

Jiang Lou stretched out his hand to caress Yue Chenzhou's face with great attachment, but his transparent fingers passed through the air and stopped an inch away from his cheek.

"You weren't such a crying child in the past." She smiled, "It's a pity that I'm not Jiang Lou now, I'm just the last bit of her spirit left. Otherwise, I should hug you. When we were young, we were still the same as before. She also likes to be coquettish."

There are too many hidden things in this sentence, it took several seconds for Yue Chenzhou to suppress the sourness in his heart again.

——If time goes back thousands of years, when Shiqing heard such words back then, he would definitely become angry from embarrassment, and he had to make a fuss; It has become an unattainable luxury.

He couldn't control the violent choking in his throat, covered his face, pressed his forehead against the cold and rough wall, tears fell from between his fingers, and wept silently.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry... Senior Sister, I'm really... sorry."

He wiped his tears back and forth like a child, only knowing to say sorry repeatedly, and could never say another sentence.

Jiang Lou was not surprised to hear this from his mouth, her figure slid forward, and then stretched out her hand to gently hug Yue Chenzhou into his arms.

"Hours have really grown up." Her eyes were filled with tender sorrow, and she shook her head, "It's all gone, Shiquan, that's all gone... Let it go, don't torture yourself anymore."

let it go...

How to let it go?

Those pasts are too heavy, I alone bear the sins of thousands of years, so long that they have grown in the flesh and become a part of Yue Chenzhou.

Maybe only on the day when my heart is pierced by a sword, my soul is eaten by a demon, and I die completely, can I completely break away from it.

Such a despicable and cowardly person with blood on his hands, one day, when I am lucky enough to meet you, will you accept me again?

Yue Chenzhou's tearful eyes were dazed and helpless, like a beast that had lost its direction and didn't know where to go. He asked softly: "Senior Sister, will you... hate me? When you are in the most pain , I couldn’t do anything, but in the end... I was the only one who survived. If it weren’t for me, maybe the Emperor Master wouldn’t ascend, the spirit realm wouldn’t perish, and everyone could still live happily together.”

No one expected that the battle would be as tragic as it was back then, and they were so caught off guard.Now, when he thinks about it again, he seems to only remember Han Yue's smiling eyes when he went to die alone.

——That is the starting point of all farewells, and also the beginning of fate and karma.

Jiang Lou looked at him for a long time, then laughed again.

"Back then, I didn't understand why the emperor banned you in the spiritual realm at the last moment, and told you to watch everyone die one by one. It seemed to be protection, but if it was placed on me, I would never be willing to become The one who survived in the end. I believe the same is true for you."

"My talent is dull, and I have never been as good as you... But after so many years, I have also vaguely touched a little bit of the way of heaven." She sighed deeply, "If the spiritual realm is destined to have this doom, it is fate. I respect the emperor star and trust With all his decisions, it's like trusting all of you."

"...The living always bear more burdens than the dead. I really don't want to see that carefree hour imprisoning myself under the most vicious spell."

Yue Chenzhou was stunned.

He watched her hands pass through his shoulders, falling feebly into the temperatureless air. He only felt a piercing pain in his internal organs, and he exhausted all his strength to squeeze out a slight pleading.

"Senior sister... don't leave me, don't leave me alone..." He finally cried out, "I really don't know what to do."

"The heavens and the earth move, one ebbs and another. We can always meet each other." Jiang Lou gently stroked his tearful cheeks, "The spiritual realm has not died out. For a while, the spiritual realm has never been a place. Only when you are there It's the spirit realm."

……

Yue Han's mind went blank for a moment, and a sense of absurdity and humor suddenly hit his heart.

The feeling deep in his soul told him that he should stop Jin Wu from speaking, but his body was unable to respond.The sound of the Golden Crow falling to the ground still reached his ears.

"Shiqing raised your reincarnation and taught you everything. Did he tell you that it was because of his master, Dixing, that we fought an extremely tragic battle back then? You His real body was tortured and destroyed, and countless former friends died under Ziyuan's schemes. Isn't the blood shed and the lessons we have learned not enough?"

Jin Wu's gaze was like a sharp blade shining with a ferocious cold light, slashing into Yue Han's heart one by one like Ling Chi.

"Han Yue, stop being obsessed with obsession. You are not only Han Yue in the spirit realm, but also the leader of the world's spirit beasts. Do you remember them? Xuanhu, Shengqing, Jiuwei... how they died, you all forgot .Chen Xing...Jiang Lou was insulted all those years ago, he would rather die than surrender, and his soul is still alive. Just because he trusted and followed the emperor star Ziyuan, tens of thousands of lives were lost in the spiritual realm, except for his personal disciple Shi Qing. , hurt, hurt... the water at the foot of Lingshan Mountain was stained red with blood, and it was not clear for three years. He completed his merits and virtues, soared smoothly, and then... cut off the ladder and cut off everyone's vitality."

"Ziyuan's ascension path was built with the lives of all of us. Shiqing's life was exchanged with yours."

"Spiritual Realm—it's just a place of bliss fabricated by Ziyuan after years of deliberate deliberation."

"Don't be obsessed with it anymore. Shiqing may be very good to you, but that's only because he owes you his life forever. Ruthless Dao spiritual practice is cold in their bones, they will only love themselves."

"……forever."
