[Seshomaru X Zhuo Donglai] Bewitching
Chapter 10
"
Sesshomaru frowned, he doesn't care about these things, he can't be blamed, anyone who looks at the almost similar scenery year after year will not feel much emotion, the flowers are similar every year, and people are different every year, but people are also in his eyes The scenery here, the cries of newborns year after year, the weeds that dry up the tomb year after year, the time has been too long, and my heart has long been ground cold and hard......
Although Zhuo Donglai couldn't understand this feeling, he also understood it, so when he said that Sesshomaru was boring, he just sighed casually.
"You care about these things?" Sesshomaru's brows trembled slightly.
"Originally...it wasn't..." He let out a faint sigh.
It's just that people are changing all the time. This kind of change is like spring rain without sound, and no one will notice it. When I come to my senses, all the persistence I thought was inadvertently softened.There is nothing to deny this, but there are not many people who are willing to admit it if they don't deny it. What he thought was fighting side by side, in the end he was the only one left to fight alone, but he is stubborn by nature, and he must do what he wants to do, so, even if He can do well by himself, so even if he feels something, he won't admit it until the last moment.
"People are fickle. You can take it as a compliment or as a criticism." Seeing Sesshomaru raising his eyebrows, Zhuo Donglai added with a smile.
"Because it is short-lived, they will hesitate and hesitate, doubt whether they are wasting time, doubt whether this road is wrong, and move forward while doubting, life is just wasted like this. They know this, but they don't know what to do. It can’t be changed, so some people’s emotions are very good, so they are very good.”
Sesshomaru listened silently.
"But there are also people who are straightforward by nature, and they can't change the things they are sure of no matter what. Even if they have doubts on the way, it will not affect the result. To deal with this kind of person, you must give him the direction you want from the beginning Point it out, guide him to go there, so that even if there is a trap in front of him, he will jump down without hesitation, and then fall to the ground, and cry bitterly, and he will not have a long memory, so that you can count him again."
The corner of Zhuo Donglai's mouth curled up in a sinister way, looking extremely dangerous. He was talking about Gao Jianfei, and the duel between him and Sima Chaoqun was completely within his expectation.
"What about you?" Sesshomaru looked at him deeply.
Zhuo Donglai was taken aback for a moment, and he and Sesshomaru exchanged a glance, then staggered away, looked outside the room and did not speak.
Zhuo Donglai is neither. He is awake all the time, so he is always tired. Even if he knows that there is an abyss behind the crown, he will jump into it by whatever means.
"The wind is blowing..." The sleeves of the two overlapped, rustling in the wind.Sesshomaru replied, looked at the snowflakes turning up in the courtyard, and said without much thought:
"Is it cold?" He felt that the reason why Zhuo Donglai said these words was probably because it was extremely cold...
Zhuo Donglai raised his eyebrows in surprise, staring blankly at him without speaking, he didn't feel cold, even though his hands were almost as warm as the ice and snow in the yard.
Sesshomaru silently came to the door and pushed him into the room. The action was by no means rough, but there was no doubt about it.
Zhuo Donglai laughed, without any resistance, he just walked to the window, ignoring Sesshomaru's frown again.
"Sesshomaru, how many years have you seen such a scene?"
What answered him was a crackling sound from the charcoal fire in the copper brazier.
After a long silence, Sesshomaru said:
"What do you want to say?"
Zhuo Donglai looked in the direction of the street, and suddenly said:
"I want to say, there are lanterns on Chang'an Avenue tonight, do you want to go see them together?"
Sesshomaru pursed his lips and remained silent.
Zhuo Donglai seemed to have recovered, and sighed slightly:
"I almost forgot, you never like crowded places." He didn't like it either.
It's just that the interior is as warm as spring, and a carved balustrade window frames the icy-covered exterior. He is dressed in elegant purple fur, but he is wrapped in the desolation of the world for no reason. He stood there quietly, sighing lightly, and Sesshomaru didn't see him. expression, but my heart couldn't help but shrink.As soon as Zhuo Donglai's words fell, he said in a strange way:
"it is good."
Zhuo Donglai turned around in surprise, to confirm that he had heard correctly, then he softened his eyebrows, raised the corners of his lips slightly, and said:
"Are you sure you want to go with me like this?" He was referring to his strange attire and the demon pattern on his face.
Sesshomaru raised his eyebrows and pursed his lips slightly. In a short while, his head was covered with silver ink, his strange armor faded away, his sharp claws turned into round shells, and the gorgeous demon patterns on his face were completely suppressed. A stern and luxurious son.
Zhuo Donglai opened his eyes slightly, and was stunned for a while, then he said nothing, but the smile lingered on the corner of his mouth, he turned around...
----
On the streets of Chang'an, the flower market and lanterns are picturesque.
The snow on the street had been swept away, and the white and purple figures of Sesshomaru and Zhuo Donglai walked slowly among the bustling crowd.It's been a long time since Zhuo Donglai walked the streets leisurely, sometimes he forgets what it's like to rub shoulders with people.Sesshomaru may be the first time in my life to walk through a human market, the smell of human body temperature transpiration, the smell of oil and wax burning in lanterns, and the aroma of street food... all kinds of flavors are mixed together, His brows never loosened all the way down.
Zhuo Donglai looked at his frosty face and tangled brows, he just thought it was funny, he didn't expect that he would agree, but since he agreed, there was absolutely no reason to let him go easily.The two stopped and stopped in front of a beautifully decorated restaurant. Zhuo Donglai said:
"There is a play here tonight, let's go see it together?" Although he asked, he already made a gesture of stepping in with one foot.
When Sesshomaru was at the door, he saw a crowd of people inside, his face was stiff, and the resistance in his eyes was not concealed at all.It's just that he looked at Zhuo Donglai and turned his face slightly to look at him with a smile. The words of refusal were stuck in his throat, and finally he didn't spit them out.He approached him, and smelled the elegant and light rosewood fragrance on his body, and the impetuousness in his heart was slightly suppressed.
"The two guest officers, please..." Xiao'er smiled and moved closer to the two of them. The two were dressed luxuriously and looked very luxurious. At first glance, they were not ordinary people.
But before he finished speaking, the shopkeeper rushed over, pushed the second brother away with one hand, and said with a flattering smile:
"Master Zhuo, you came here by coincidence. There is still an elegant seat upstairs, and the show hasn't even started yet. I guess it's waiting for you!"
There are restaurants and inns on Chang'an Avenue that are a little bit higher. How can you not know the two heads of the Escort Bureau? They fly the flag of the Escort Bureau.
"The shopkeeper's... the private seat is already..." The second brother was a little anxious to add something, but the shopkeeper didn't even look at him, and pushed him aside.
The little second brother was stunned by the push, and stared blankly at the stage where the troupe that was supposed to appear hadn't come out yet, and then looked at the shopkeeper's respectful and flattering face, and stopped talking.
The shopkeeper bowed his waist and led the two of them upstairs, and suddenly said on the stairs:
"Oh, look at my memory, Master Zhuo, Master Sima and Mrs. Sima are also upstairs, do you want to join them?"
Zhuo Donglai was taken aback for a moment, they were already standing at the stairs, and when he turned his head, he saw Sima Chaoqun and Wu Wan's family, unfortunately, Sima Chaoqun also saw them.
He was tall and straight, and when he saw Zhuo Donglai he stood up suddenly, it was difficult not to attract attention.Of course Sesshomaru saw it too, his eyes darkened, he snorted coldly, and looked away.
Zhuo Donglai felt a little helpless, and was about to say something to Seshengwan, but saw Sima Chaoqun had left his seat and walked towards him, and said:
"Donglai, it's rare to see you out on the street, come and sit down, there is still a seat for me and Wan'er." Hearing this, Wu Wan's face darkened, seeing them watching her, she forced a smile.
"This is..." Without waiting for Zhuo Donglai and the others to push back, he took Zhuo Donglai's hand and walked away, looking at the Sesshomaru as he walked, and asked in confusion.
Sesshomaru's eyes turned cold, he ignored Sima Chaoqun's words, and roughly brushed his hand away.
Sima Chaoqun lowered his smile and stared at Sesshomaru. Sesshowan's brows and eyes were cold, without the slightest wavering.
Zhuo Donglai suddenly felt a little helpless, lightly patted the back of Sesshomaru's hand, and said:
"What are you doing standing up, sit down."
"Boss, go down." He said again.
Seeing the embarrassing atmosphere, the shopkeeper longed to rub the soles of his feet with oil. How dare he refuse to follow Zhuo Donglai's words, he should be in a hurry.
Seeing Zhuo Donglai's actions, Sima Chaoqun felt depressed, frowned and asked:
"Dong Lai, you haven't answered me who he is yet."
Zhuo Donglai choked, looked at Seshowan's cold face, and seeing him looking at him, he smiled and said:
"a friend."
"Friend?" Sima Chaoqun said in a strange tone.
Sesshomaru was noncommittal, and didn't know whether he was satisfied with the answer.It's just that Sima Chaoqun knew that he must be dissatisfied, but he still forced a smile and said:
"Since it's Donglai's friend, it's also my friend, let's have a toast!" He said as he handed over a glass of wine.He didn't know when Zhuo Donglai had friends again, but suddenly he felt betrayed. He thought he was the person who knew him best in the world, but in the end he found that there was another person in the world that he didn't know. Know him as much as he does or better.But he is Zhuo Donglai's brother, this identity makes him more confident, so he very magnanimously ignored Sesshomaru's rude behavior just now, and recognized him as a friend, all for Zhuo Donglai's face, he should feel honored .
"He doesn't drink." Zhuo Donglai said.
"No." Sesshomaru said.
The voices of the two sounded at the same time, the people on the table were stunned for a moment, Zhuo Dong looked at Sesshomaru.
His eyes were contemptuous, looking at Sima Chaoqun like looking at an ant, he said:
"I'm not your friend, you don't deserve it."
Sima Chaoqun's face turned blue, bang!He drank the wine bowl at once, he was a great hero admired by the whole world, and no one had challenged his dignity for a long time.
At this time, the play had already started, and unknown tunes were babbling on the stage, but the second floor was completely quiet. Zhuo Donglai looked at Sesshomaru with deep eyes, stood up and said to him:
"I don't like this place." This was the reason, after he finished speaking, he turned around without delay, without giving a single glance to Sima Chaoqun's family.
Sima Chaoqun's complexion was already turning black, and this complexion was even more difficult to see when he saw Zhuo Donglai also stand up.
"Sima, I have no reason to intervene in your family reunion, so I will leave first."
Sima Chaoqun stared, but didn't say a word.
After a while, Wu Wan sneered and said:
"Zhuo Donglai's friend is really great, but it's rare for him to be so sensible, and our family reunion has nothing to do with him......"
Sima Chaoqun glanced sideways at her, so she didn't say what she said next.He withdrew his gaze and looked at the excitement in the audience with a gloomy expression.
----
When Zhuo Donglai walked out the door, he saw Sesshomaru standing by the door, looking at the lights of the city, as if he was waiting for someone.Hearing the sound of him coming out, he turned his head slightly, without saying anything, as if he had expected it, he walked towards the street.
Sesshomaru thought that Zhuo Donglai would at least ask him the reason just now, although he didn't want to give an answer, but Zhuo Donglai didn't say a word, as if nothing happened just now, and they didn't go into that restaurant, Sesshomaru glanced at him, The atmosphere is suddenly a little subtle...
Zhuo Donglai didn't seem to notice it, his feet stepped on the residual snow that slipped through the net on the side of the road, and the chill rose from the soles of his feet. He didn't seem to feel it, and his steps were still calm and peaceful.
The two walked along the hustle and bustle, and the hustle and bustle of others seemed to be isolated to another world. Sesshomaru was a little ahead, Zhuo Donglai was staggered a little later, and the two walked in harmony. Walking like this, it seemed that they could walk for a lifetime...... ....
Suddenly, Sesshomaru stopped, Zhuo Donglai also stopped, just followed his line of sight without making a sound.
At the end of the street was an old man who was leading his little grandson. The grandson was holding a colorful lantern in one hand and a bunch of red candied haws in the other.The warm lights imprinted the traces of time on the old man's face, which was enough to make the wanderer feel sad. The lines were deep and painful. His wrinkled face was filled with a loving smile, and his cloudy eyes were full of warmth. , Looking at the immature face of the little grandson, the grandson and grandson walked very slowly, the older one faltered, and the younger one wobbled...
Zhuo Dong seemed to be engrossed, and his eyes were a little dazed.Until the figures of the two disappeared into the night, his eyelids trembled, and he whispered:
"The house is full of children and grandchildren, enjoying family relationships, and being able to reach this age is also a blessing."
Sesshomaru turned to look at him, but he smiled and said:
"I don't know if I can live to this age." He has strong martial arts, a shrewd and calm mind, he has a group of loyal subordinates, and he has established an unprecedentedly powerful force in the world, but he is still a man of the world, as long as he is a man of the world , even if he died on some unknown street tomorrow, it would not be a surprise, and it would not be surprising that he died under someone's knife or sword. Happiness is insulated.He is self-confident and proud, but also self-examination, so when he said this, his words were full of seriousness.
Sesshomaru's eyes trembled, and he said:
"Yes." Seeing that Zhuo Donglai raised his eyebrows indifferently, he emphasized:
"must be able to."
But even if he could, maybe in the blink of an eye, Zhuo Donglai turned into such an old and decayed appearance, and when he turned around again, wild flowers might have bloomed in the barren grave where his dead bones were buried, but he still looked like this, his face was still handsome, and the years passed. He has long been forgotten.
He squinted his eyes, feeling that the wind in the winter night was a bit cool for the first time.He never thought that one day he would be so close to a human being, so close that he even began to think about the future of this human being, so close that he was unwilling to think about the future without this human...... .
It was also the first time that he felt that the heart beating in his chest was so weak, his eyes gradually turned cold, and he was almost as weak as a human being, but this was the thing he despised the most before.
While he was thinking, Zhuo Donglai had started walking again, and walked around in front of him. The stalls behind them had been closed one after another, and the surrounding area was much darker.
"Zhuo Donglai." His voice was low, Zhuo Donglai stopped and turned his head to look at him.
"Do you still remember that I once promised you that I can help you with one thing, and I can help you and eradicate all enemies." He spoke unhappily, and almost finished the last half of the sentence, as if it was not enough to show his seriousness.His strength has recovered a long time ago, even stronger than before before returning to the Escort, so these things are not difficult for him, only Zhuo Donglai opens the mouth, and then...... He will not owe he has...
There was another silence, Zhuo Donglai turned his head, his eyes were a little erratic, after a while, Sesshomaru heard his sigh in the wind:
"Forget about that promise, you don't owe me." After that, he took another step. The snow in front of him was not swept away, and the moonlight covered the ground with silver frost. His footprints moved straight forward without a trace of hesitation. .
Sesshomaru stared at his back, and then he also took a step. The winter wind blew his wide sleeves. Behind him, the Chang'an market was dimly lit...
The author has something to say:
☆, the moonlight is cold tonight
Sima Chaoqun's yard is in the middle of the Escort Bureau, the location is excellent, facing south, it is bright and bright all year round.There are no flowers and plants in the yard, but there are a lot of seasonal fruits and vegetables. It was Wu Wan's idea. She is of course a good wife. In order to take care of her husband, she pulled out all the original exotic flowers and plants in the yard. Zhuo Donglai searched hard, but it didn't matter at all, no one would blame a woman who cared about her husband wholeheartedly.Then planted fresh green lettuce and green mustard, she can be so considerate, of course she is a good wife and a good mother.
The hall is magnificent, with a soft tiger skin on the main seat, and hard ebony under the tiger skin. In the back hall, there is a simple and thick Eight Immortals table in the center, and an exquisite puppet is lying on the table.The whole body of the puppet has been polished smooth and shiny. It seems that it is often held and played by people, with thin strings hanging from the joints. He is lying there with an exaggerated and stiff smile on his face, sarcastically, silently... …
----
It's not a coincidence that the spring is cold, but there is life. However, yesterday the snow was warm for a while, and there were new buds protruding from the branches. Sesshomaru was standing under an old tree in Ziqidonglai's yard. When he raised his eyes, he saw That timid little green.He remembered that it was the end of spring when he came, and the yard was lush and lush without a trace of desolation. It turned out that it was almost a year in the blink of an eye.
What can one year do, from the mountains to the plains, from the hot summer to the cold winter.
One year is really too short, especially for Sesshomaru. It's just that there were many changes in this year, which made him feel that it was extremely short, but most of the days of this year passed by quietly like running water. There should be no traces, but maybe it was an accident. The days that should have been tasteless like water had a strange change, like wine mixed with purple wine, which was light at first, but became richer and more mellow later. .........
Sesshomaru stared at the only sliver of greenness in this wilderness, stretched out his hand, and touched the fragile branch with his fingertips first, shaking off the remaining snow on the branch, and there was a coldness from his fingertips, he paused, as if suddenly When he woke up, his golden eyes gradually turned cold.He withdrew his hand, turned around and faced the door, which was closed tightly, but he knew that there was a warm warmth from the charcoal fire inside.This is the warmth he never needed, he should be like this, waiting for the vicissitudes of life, waiting for the sun, moon and stars to move, whether life is moving or still, his heart is calm.
He took a deep look at the quaint and carved wooden door, then turned around slowly, and walked out of the door step by step.His footsteps were printed on the ground without any sound, his expression was fixed on his face without any trembling, his steps were firm, just like when he came, just like in his past.
Life is originally composed of various accidents. After passing this one, waiting for the next one, he can only pass by after all.It was an accident that he met Zhuo Donglai, but his departure was not at all......
He stepped out of the courtyard door, and a young man in purple shirt hurriedly greeted him in front of him. His hurried steps stopped suddenly, and he bent down swiftly to salute Sesshomaru:
"I've seen your son."
Sesshomaru also stopped and stared at the young man. The young man lowered his head and couldn't see his eyes or expression clearly. Sesshomaru knew him. His name was Guo Qing, Zhuo Donglai's apprentice.After a while, his deep voice broke the silence, and he said:
"Tell Zhuo Donglai...... I'm leaving." After finishing speaking, he lifted his footsteps.
Guo Qing was taken aback for a moment, but immediately responded:
"Yes!" He didn't ask him where he was going, it wasn't his place to ask, but he could tell that Sesshomaru would not come back, and a trace of surprise flashed through his eyes.
Listening to what he should say, Sesshomaru stopped in his tracks again, and Guo Qing's heart skipped a beat.
The silence spread, and a drop of sweat slid down Guo Qing's forehead. It was icy cold, but he didn't dare to wipe it off, but his expression didn't change at all. From the eyes to the mouth, every curve was exactly the same as at the beginning.
Sesshomaru turned around, locked his eyes on the half-bowed young man, his eyes sharpened but soon relaxed, he pursed his lips, and he took out something, a string of rosewood beads.
It's ironic and funny that he, a monster, carries Buddhist beads with him, but Sesshomaru actually did such an ironic thing.
This is what he asked for from those old bald donkeys before leaving Zhengming Temple. They dared not refuse. He dared not speak in anger, his face was almost blue.Tathagata, they actually useless any monsters running rampant in the temple.In fact, they didn't need to do this. No matter how powerful the Sesshomaru is, they are not incapable of fighting because of the special nature of the land. It's just that the price is too high. Shangzhuo Donglai is such a god of plague... so let's be rampant, the two guys on the left and right are going to leave!
Guo Qing took the string of Buddhist beads, wondering in his heart, which of these two people still believes in this?
The red sandalwood beads are rounded, the wood grain on them is elegant and smooth, exuding a faint woody fragrance, plus the scent of incense stained on them before enshrining Buddha all the year round, holding them can really calm your mind.Guo Qing's eyes were inexplicable, is there anything unusual about this prayer bead?
Indeed there was, and then he heard Sesshomaru say:
"For Zhuo Donglai, if he has anything to do in the future... just crush one of them, and I will come over."
This should have been handed over to him by himself, he thought he liked this kind of thing, that day he stared at the bead of the stupid monk for a long time, but after thinking about it, maybe he thought too much, but the thing is already coming, He tried to draw talismans inside, which can be regarded as learning and using.
He didn't know whether he wanted Zhuo Donglai to call him, whether Zhuo Donglai would call him, or whether he would come after calling him, there were too many things he didn't know, so he simply didn't bother to take care of them.But he didn't promise in empty words, if Zhuo Donglai really needed him, he might return to him by all means... Sesshomaru jumped up and flew to the east.
He has to go back, even if he has no obsession and no reason, he still wants to try to find the way back, and find the reason why he came here.
He walked too resolutely, flew too far, he didn't see a glint of gloom flashing in Guo Qing's eyes, it was terrifying.
------
Sima Chaoqun's courtyard was still facing the sun, with doors and courtyards open in all directions, and the soft veils in the attic fluttered with the wind, blowing past several corpses in the inner room. The corpses were pale and hideous.It's just that there is no trace of fear in the outer hall, and a thick and tragic sorrow fills every corner.
Zhuo Donglai stared at Sima steadfastly, feeling dazed in his heart, it turned out that they had come to this step after all.He heard his hoarse and deep voice say:
"If I don't leave, will you kill me?"
"Yes, I will definitely kill you." Sima Chaoqun also suppressed his voice, as if he was choked up, but more determined.
Zhuo Donglai froze all over, opened his eyes slightly, took a breath, closed his eyes as if he understood something, he felt himself nodding, the blood stained the red flower collection that day, everything might have gone out of control unconsciously, he said :
"I will not leave." The Escort is their common dream, even if Sima Chaoqun betrays him, he will not leave.
Grief and anger have already filled Sima Chaoqun's chest, yes, anyone who has traveled all the way home to see not the warm smiling faces of his wife and children but their cold and terrifying corpses will go crazy, and what's even more crazy is that he can't help it Kill their murderer immediately.Sima Chaoqun's eyes were red, and he almost shed tears. He stared at the purple figure by the window, and said word by word:
"Then, Zhuo Donglai, I will definitely kill you." He seemed to be convincing himself, but after uttering every word, he felt like his heart was frying in a frying pan one after another.
Zhuo Donglai's tightly pursed lips drew an arc, ironic and desolate, he nodded again, turned his back and couldn't bear to look any more, he closed his eyes, swallowed the tears that almost welled up in his eyes, and said:
"Then you later, wait for me to finish the last thing......"
He walked out of the house. Under the sun and in the breeze, his steps were steady. His purple figure was tall and straight, as if he was coming from a god, which deeply burned Sima Chaoqun's eyes.
..............
Guo Qing fell under Zhuo Donglai's knife, and there was a strange sneer on his face before he died, Zhuo Donglai didn't want to pay attention to what he was laughing at.The child who said he was his god died at his hands after all. He had too much blood on his hands in his life, but for Guo Qing, he didn't want to kill him. If he was alive, he might be able to check and balance him in the future, but If he dies unfortunately, Sima Chaoqun will definitely not be able to control him, and even if he dies, he cannot leave any hidden dangers for Sima Chaoqun.
He looked at Sima Chaoqun's angry face and suddenly lost the strength to explain. He looked at him now and thought of him 20 years ago.Young, immature, and ambitious........ He handed him a bowl of steaming chicken soup. At that time, the wound on his body seemed to stop hurting in an instant. The sunshine that day was as beautiful as this day, but the wind But it is not as cold as it is now. He was young and equally ambitious at that time, but he was no longer immature, but he still said the most solemn promise in his life in a rare, innocent tone:
"You are my friend, the best friend of my life."
Good friends, good brothers, share weal and woe, never leave life, never abandon death......
He was about to cry again, but it was just almost...... 20 years have passed, what happened to them to come to this point?Since when did he look at him with fear in his eyes?Since when did he start picking on every word he said?It may have been earlier since he feigned illness and escaped, because the meeting between people is like the separation between people, so natural, so helpless, a person's life is full of so much helplessness, but why Zhuo Donglai's life is almost like Is it composed of helplessness?
----
The wind was blowing quietly, Guo Qing's blood was no longer flowing, the smile on his face was quiet, his eyes were already closed, and he seemed contented.
Sima Chaoqun's eyes were wide open, as if he couldn't believe it, he stared at the air in front of him, as if there was something there, but in the end there was still only a blank space.The cold touch around his neck could not tolerate his disbelief, he heard Zhuo Donglai's empty voice:
"Didn't you always want to know, who is better if we fight against each other?"
"But I don't want to know, I don't want to..." He withdrew his knife, but he couldn't get back the emptiness all over him.
The world is like this, the more you want to know, the more you can’t know, the more you don’t want to know, the more you can’t tolerate ignorance, if you know, you will leave regrets in vain, why bother......
Sima Chaoqun maintained the posture of raising his sword, and Zhuo Donglai's back of the saber left his neck. It has always been Zhuo Donglai's creed to be ruthless against the enemy, but he used the back of his saber to deal with him, perhaps because of this he survived... ....
big hero!ha!Invincible hero!The whole fuck is a good show planned by Zhuo Donglai!He almost heard something slamming in the air, shattering together with the vague dream, it was not his dream long ago, did he lose the dream, or did the dream abandon him?
This is not important, at this moment, nothing is important, what is important to a puppet who is abandoned by its master, and to a puppet who failed to challenge its master?
"Hahahahaha..." He looked up to the sky and laughed, and stumbled out the door.
Zhuo Donglai stared at his back, the colorless liquid slid down, and Sima's sad and sarcastic laughter was next to his ears, but he heard their words a long time ago in a trance:
"I, Sima Chaoqun."
"I, Zhuo Donglai."
"Being brothers today, I don't want to be born in the same year, the same month, and the same day, but I want to die in the same year, the same month, and the same day. From then on, we will rely on each other for good and bad, and we will share weal and woe. The heaven and the earth will testify, and the mountains and rivers will be the alliance. If we violate this promise, the heaven and the earth will be punished together!"
It's just that the oath is fresh and new, where is the Sri Lankan?
Zhuo Donglai raised his hand, wiped away the last tear from the corner of his eyes expressionlessly, a white shadow suddenly flashed in his eyes, and his ears faintly said:
"I will never face Sima Daojian," he said.
"Really?" Sesshomaru said.
He provoked a sarcastic smile, he suddenly wanted to meet Sesshomaru......
But he was destined not to see it, Zi Qi came from the east to live in the sky.
Zhuo Donglai sat until late at night, the Persian grape wine in the glass was already cold, he picked up the wine cup and drank it down, the cold liquid slid down to his stomach, the empty stomach began to throb, his complexion was white, his expression remained unchanged, This is already the No.30 four glasses of wine he drank tonight, the wine jar has bottomed out, only the mellow smell of wine remains, Sesshomaru has not returned yet.
His door was open, the moonlight was cold, and the empty courtyard was covered with snow. He looked at it, and it seemed that the sky was old and the land was barren in an instant. He felt in a daze that Sesshomaru might never come back again.Then it also proved his conjecture, and the subordinates hurried over:
"Master Zhuo, this was found on Guo Qing's body. There is no record of him buying this item before."
Zhuo Donglai took it with a blank expression. This is a string of rosewood beads with a deep and elegant fragrance, just like the breath on his body.This may belong to Sesshomaru, or it may be the last thing he left behind.He swung his subordinates back, turned around and walked back to the inner room wearily, he walked very slowly, and his back seemed to have changed a lot.
He and Shangmen were isolated in their own small world, his hands clenched the beads tightly, his knuckles turned white, it seemed that the round wooden beads would be broken into pieces in a second, but he suddenly let go of his hands again, and bowed his head. The corners of the head and lips are raised, the smile is thin and cold, and the smile is sad:
"Sima, betray me for a woman, Die Wu, betray me for a man, Guo Qing, betray me for his brother... What about you? What would you do for... ..."
With his head held high, he walked to the center of the crowd, he waved his arms, and the crowd admired him, he looked back and looked around, but the surroundings were empty... But so what, he raised his head, his eyes were clear, even if So what if the whole world is against him?
"Even if it's just me, I won't lose. Even if it's just me, I can go on."
He slowly went to the bed, took off his purple brocade robe, put the red sandalwood beads in his arms, and put them close to his heart, it seemed warm or cold......
The author has something to say:
☆、Desolate store
There have always been many unexplainable anecdotes in ancient oriental countries. Most of them come from old forests and remote places with few people. This is the place where Sesshomaru likes to go. He never likes a crowd of noisy scenes.
There are no traces, and the path made up of jagged rocks is surrounded by smoke and clouds.Sesshomaru walked slowly and alone, frowning as he walked, he accidentally walked to the monk's nest last time, so don't detour to some strange place this time.Although he is not afraid, the side effects are always irritating. There are too many things in this continent that he does not understand. From the things that the monk gave him, he can get a glimpse of them. He is not so arrogant and feels that he is Already invincible.
With two or three flapping sounds, a pair of black crows flew past the head, Sesshomaru's expression turned serious, his hand was pressed on the handle of the knife, his eyes narrowed and stared aside.
"Hehehehe..." A string of charming laughter was as crisp as a silver bell, and it was very strange for no reason on the empty path.
Sesshomaru's eyes turned cold, and he said coldly:
"come out."
As soon as the words were finished, a petite figure jumped out of the shadows of the bushes beside him. His crimson clothes were like fire, and he was as charming as the evening sun, which seemed to illuminate the sunny mountain road by a third.
"Don't be angry, I'm just happy. It's been a long time since no one has been here." She looked only fifteen or sixteen years old, her almond eyes were big and bright, and she blinked two or three times. It's joy.
Sesshomaru frowned, looked at the woman in front of him calmly, and remained silent.
"Ah, it doesn't seem to be a human being, so let me just say, how can a human find such a ghostly place!" She stuck out her tongue, as if she was sorry for the slip of the tongue just now.
"Let's see, what kind of monster..." She mumbled and took a few steps closer, and stopped abruptly as soon as she finished speaking, looking at the point of the sword pointed at her in front of her with a bit of depression and aggrieved.
Rolling his eyes, he snorted:
"Stingy, I didn't mean to scare you."
Exhaled, she was optimistic by nature, she shouldn't care about this guy with a stinky face, she laughed again, and said:
"What's your name, what are you doing here?"
Sesshomaru put away Fighting Ghosts and said coldly:
"A rabbit?"
The little girl pursed her lips. She didn't like her dark fur and always wore red clothes, so everyone always misunderstood her prototype. I didn't expect that the annoying ghost in front of me could recognize it at a glance
Sesshomaru frowned, he doesn't care about these things, he can't be blamed, anyone who looks at the almost similar scenery year after year will not feel much emotion, the flowers are similar every year, and people are different every year, but people are also in his eyes The scenery here, the cries of newborns year after year, the weeds that dry up the tomb year after year, the time has been too long, and my heart has long been ground cold and hard......
Although Zhuo Donglai couldn't understand this feeling, he also understood it, so when he said that Sesshomaru was boring, he just sighed casually.
"You care about these things?" Sesshomaru's brows trembled slightly.
"Originally...it wasn't..." He let out a faint sigh.
It's just that people are changing all the time. This kind of change is like spring rain without sound, and no one will notice it. When I come to my senses, all the persistence I thought was inadvertently softened.There is nothing to deny this, but there are not many people who are willing to admit it if they don't deny it. What he thought was fighting side by side, in the end he was the only one left to fight alone, but he is stubborn by nature, and he must do what he wants to do, so, even if He can do well by himself, so even if he feels something, he won't admit it until the last moment.
"People are fickle. You can take it as a compliment or as a criticism." Seeing Sesshomaru raising his eyebrows, Zhuo Donglai added with a smile.
"Because it is short-lived, they will hesitate and hesitate, doubt whether they are wasting time, doubt whether this road is wrong, and move forward while doubting, life is just wasted like this. They know this, but they don't know what to do. It can’t be changed, so some people’s emotions are very good, so they are very good.”
Sesshomaru listened silently.
"But there are also people who are straightforward by nature, and they can't change the things they are sure of no matter what. Even if they have doubts on the way, it will not affect the result. To deal with this kind of person, you must give him the direction you want from the beginning Point it out, guide him to go there, so that even if there is a trap in front of him, he will jump down without hesitation, and then fall to the ground, and cry bitterly, and he will not have a long memory, so that you can count him again."
The corner of Zhuo Donglai's mouth curled up in a sinister way, looking extremely dangerous. He was talking about Gao Jianfei, and the duel between him and Sima Chaoqun was completely within his expectation.
"What about you?" Sesshomaru looked at him deeply.
Zhuo Donglai was taken aback for a moment, and he and Sesshomaru exchanged a glance, then staggered away, looked outside the room and did not speak.
Zhuo Donglai is neither. He is awake all the time, so he is always tired. Even if he knows that there is an abyss behind the crown, he will jump into it by whatever means.
"The wind is blowing..." The sleeves of the two overlapped, rustling in the wind.Sesshomaru replied, looked at the snowflakes turning up in the courtyard, and said without much thought:
"Is it cold?" He felt that the reason why Zhuo Donglai said these words was probably because it was extremely cold...
Zhuo Donglai raised his eyebrows in surprise, staring blankly at him without speaking, he didn't feel cold, even though his hands were almost as warm as the ice and snow in the yard.
Sesshomaru silently came to the door and pushed him into the room. The action was by no means rough, but there was no doubt about it.
Zhuo Donglai laughed, without any resistance, he just walked to the window, ignoring Sesshomaru's frown again.
"Sesshomaru, how many years have you seen such a scene?"
What answered him was a crackling sound from the charcoal fire in the copper brazier.
After a long silence, Sesshomaru said:
"What do you want to say?"
Zhuo Donglai looked in the direction of the street, and suddenly said:
"I want to say, there are lanterns on Chang'an Avenue tonight, do you want to go see them together?"
Sesshomaru pursed his lips and remained silent.
Zhuo Donglai seemed to have recovered, and sighed slightly:
"I almost forgot, you never like crowded places." He didn't like it either.
It's just that the interior is as warm as spring, and a carved balustrade window frames the icy-covered exterior. He is dressed in elegant purple fur, but he is wrapped in the desolation of the world for no reason. He stood there quietly, sighing lightly, and Sesshomaru didn't see him. expression, but my heart couldn't help but shrink.As soon as Zhuo Donglai's words fell, he said in a strange way:
"it is good."
Zhuo Donglai turned around in surprise, to confirm that he had heard correctly, then he softened his eyebrows, raised the corners of his lips slightly, and said:
"Are you sure you want to go with me like this?" He was referring to his strange attire and the demon pattern on his face.
Sesshomaru raised his eyebrows and pursed his lips slightly. In a short while, his head was covered with silver ink, his strange armor faded away, his sharp claws turned into round shells, and the gorgeous demon patterns on his face were completely suppressed. A stern and luxurious son.
Zhuo Donglai opened his eyes slightly, and was stunned for a while, then he said nothing, but the smile lingered on the corner of his mouth, he turned around...
----
On the streets of Chang'an, the flower market and lanterns are picturesque.
The snow on the street had been swept away, and the white and purple figures of Sesshomaru and Zhuo Donglai walked slowly among the bustling crowd.It's been a long time since Zhuo Donglai walked the streets leisurely, sometimes he forgets what it's like to rub shoulders with people.Sesshomaru may be the first time in my life to walk through a human market, the smell of human body temperature transpiration, the smell of oil and wax burning in lanterns, and the aroma of street food... all kinds of flavors are mixed together, His brows never loosened all the way down.
Zhuo Donglai looked at his frosty face and tangled brows, he just thought it was funny, he didn't expect that he would agree, but since he agreed, there was absolutely no reason to let him go easily.The two stopped and stopped in front of a beautifully decorated restaurant. Zhuo Donglai said:
"There is a play here tonight, let's go see it together?" Although he asked, he already made a gesture of stepping in with one foot.
When Sesshomaru was at the door, he saw a crowd of people inside, his face was stiff, and the resistance in his eyes was not concealed at all.It's just that he looked at Zhuo Donglai and turned his face slightly to look at him with a smile. The words of refusal were stuck in his throat, and finally he didn't spit them out.He approached him, and smelled the elegant and light rosewood fragrance on his body, and the impetuousness in his heart was slightly suppressed.
"The two guest officers, please..." Xiao'er smiled and moved closer to the two of them. The two were dressed luxuriously and looked very luxurious. At first glance, they were not ordinary people.
But before he finished speaking, the shopkeeper rushed over, pushed the second brother away with one hand, and said with a flattering smile:
"Master Zhuo, you came here by coincidence. There is still an elegant seat upstairs, and the show hasn't even started yet. I guess it's waiting for you!"
There are restaurants and inns on Chang'an Avenue that are a little bit higher. How can you not know the two heads of the Escort Bureau? They fly the flag of the Escort Bureau.
"The shopkeeper's... the private seat is already..." The second brother was a little anxious to add something, but the shopkeeper didn't even look at him, and pushed him aside.
The little second brother was stunned by the push, and stared blankly at the stage where the troupe that was supposed to appear hadn't come out yet, and then looked at the shopkeeper's respectful and flattering face, and stopped talking.
The shopkeeper bowed his waist and led the two of them upstairs, and suddenly said on the stairs:
"Oh, look at my memory, Master Zhuo, Master Sima and Mrs. Sima are also upstairs, do you want to join them?"
Zhuo Donglai was taken aback for a moment, they were already standing at the stairs, and when he turned his head, he saw Sima Chaoqun and Wu Wan's family, unfortunately, Sima Chaoqun also saw them.
He was tall and straight, and when he saw Zhuo Donglai he stood up suddenly, it was difficult not to attract attention.Of course Sesshomaru saw it too, his eyes darkened, he snorted coldly, and looked away.
Zhuo Donglai felt a little helpless, and was about to say something to Seshengwan, but saw Sima Chaoqun had left his seat and walked towards him, and said:
"Donglai, it's rare to see you out on the street, come and sit down, there is still a seat for me and Wan'er." Hearing this, Wu Wan's face darkened, seeing them watching her, she forced a smile.
"This is..." Without waiting for Zhuo Donglai and the others to push back, he took Zhuo Donglai's hand and walked away, looking at the Sesshomaru as he walked, and asked in confusion.
Sesshomaru's eyes turned cold, he ignored Sima Chaoqun's words, and roughly brushed his hand away.
Sima Chaoqun lowered his smile and stared at Sesshomaru. Sesshowan's brows and eyes were cold, without the slightest wavering.
Zhuo Donglai suddenly felt a little helpless, lightly patted the back of Sesshomaru's hand, and said:
"What are you doing standing up, sit down."
"Boss, go down." He said again.
Seeing the embarrassing atmosphere, the shopkeeper longed to rub the soles of his feet with oil. How dare he refuse to follow Zhuo Donglai's words, he should be in a hurry.
Seeing Zhuo Donglai's actions, Sima Chaoqun felt depressed, frowned and asked:
"Dong Lai, you haven't answered me who he is yet."
Zhuo Donglai choked, looked at Seshowan's cold face, and seeing him looking at him, he smiled and said:
"a friend."
"Friend?" Sima Chaoqun said in a strange tone.
Sesshomaru was noncommittal, and didn't know whether he was satisfied with the answer.It's just that Sima Chaoqun knew that he must be dissatisfied, but he still forced a smile and said:
"Since it's Donglai's friend, it's also my friend, let's have a toast!" He said as he handed over a glass of wine.He didn't know when Zhuo Donglai had friends again, but suddenly he felt betrayed. He thought he was the person who knew him best in the world, but in the end he found that there was another person in the world that he didn't know. Know him as much as he does or better.But he is Zhuo Donglai's brother, this identity makes him more confident, so he very magnanimously ignored Sesshomaru's rude behavior just now, and recognized him as a friend, all for Zhuo Donglai's face, he should feel honored .
"He doesn't drink." Zhuo Donglai said.
"No." Sesshomaru said.
The voices of the two sounded at the same time, the people on the table were stunned for a moment, Zhuo Dong looked at Sesshomaru.
His eyes were contemptuous, looking at Sima Chaoqun like looking at an ant, he said:
"I'm not your friend, you don't deserve it."
Sima Chaoqun's face turned blue, bang!He drank the wine bowl at once, he was a great hero admired by the whole world, and no one had challenged his dignity for a long time.
At this time, the play had already started, and unknown tunes were babbling on the stage, but the second floor was completely quiet. Zhuo Donglai looked at Sesshomaru with deep eyes, stood up and said to him:
"I don't like this place." This was the reason, after he finished speaking, he turned around without delay, without giving a single glance to Sima Chaoqun's family.
Sima Chaoqun's complexion was already turning black, and this complexion was even more difficult to see when he saw Zhuo Donglai also stand up.
"Sima, I have no reason to intervene in your family reunion, so I will leave first."
Sima Chaoqun stared, but didn't say a word.
After a while, Wu Wan sneered and said:
"Zhuo Donglai's friend is really great, but it's rare for him to be so sensible, and our family reunion has nothing to do with him......"
Sima Chaoqun glanced sideways at her, so she didn't say what she said next.He withdrew his gaze and looked at the excitement in the audience with a gloomy expression.
----
When Zhuo Donglai walked out the door, he saw Sesshomaru standing by the door, looking at the lights of the city, as if he was waiting for someone.Hearing the sound of him coming out, he turned his head slightly, without saying anything, as if he had expected it, he walked towards the street.
Sesshomaru thought that Zhuo Donglai would at least ask him the reason just now, although he didn't want to give an answer, but Zhuo Donglai didn't say a word, as if nothing happened just now, and they didn't go into that restaurant, Sesshomaru glanced at him, The atmosphere is suddenly a little subtle...
Zhuo Donglai didn't seem to notice it, his feet stepped on the residual snow that slipped through the net on the side of the road, and the chill rose from the soles of his feet. He didn't seem to feel it, and his steps were still calm and peaceful.
The two walked along the hustle and bustle, and the hustle and bustle of others seemed to be isolated to another world. Sesshomaru was a little ahead, Zhuo Donglai was staggered a little later, and the two walked in harmony. Walking like this, it seemed that they could walk for a lifetime...... ....
Suddenly, Sesshomaru stopped, Zhuo Donglai also stopped, just followed his line of sight without making a sound.
At the end of the street was an old man who was leading his little grandson. The grandson was holding a colorful lantern in one hand and a bunch of red candied haws in the other.The warm lights imprinted the traces of time on the old man's face, which was enough to make the wanderer feel sad. The lines were deep and painful. His wrinkled face was filled with a loving smile, and his cloudy eyes were full of warmth. , Looking at the immature face of the little grandson, the grandson and grandson walked very slowly, the older one faltered, and the younger one wobbled...
Zhuo Dong seemed to be engrossed, and his eyes were a little dazed.Until the figures of the two disappeared into the night, his eyelids trembled, and he whispered:
"The house is full of children and grandchildren, enjoying family relationships, and being able to reach this age is also a blessing."
Sesshomaru turned to look at him, but he smiled and said:
"I don't know if I can live to this age." He has strong martial arts, a shrewd and calm mind, he has a group of loyal subordinates, and he has established an unprecedentedly powerful force in the world, but he is still a man of the world, as long as he is a man of the world , even if he died on some unknown street tomorrow, it would not be a surprise, and it would not be surprising that he died under someone's knife or sword. Happiness is insulated.He is self-confident and proud, but also self-examination, so when he said this, his words were full of seriousness.
Sesshomaru's eyes trembled, and he said:
"Yes." Seeing that Zhuo Donglai raised his eyebrows indifferently, he emphasized:
"must be able to."
But even if he could, maybe in the blink of an eye, Zhuo Donglai turned into such an old and decayed appearance, and when he turned around again, wild flowers might have bloomed in the barren grave where his dead bones were buried, but he still looked like this, his face was still handsome, and the years passed. He has long been forgotten.
He squinted his eyes, feeling that the wind in the winter night was a bit cool for the first time.He never thought that one day he would be so close to a human being, so close that he even began to think about the future of this human being, so close that he was unwilling to think about the future without this human...... .
It was also the first time that he felt that the heart beating in his chest was so weak, his eyes gradually turned cold, and he was almost as weak as a human being, but this was the thing he despised the most before.
While he was thinking, Zhuo Donglai had started walking again, and walked around in front of him. The stalls behind them had been closed one after another, and the surrounding area was much darker.
"Zhuo Donglai." His voice was low, Zhuo Donglai stopped and turned his head to look at him.
"Do you still remember that I once promised you that I can help you with one thing, and I can help you and eradicate all enemies." He spoke unhappily, and almost finished the last half of the sentence, as if it was not enough to show his seriousness.His strength has recovered a long time ago, even stronger than before before returning to the Escort, so these things are not difficult for him, only Zhuo Donglai opens the mouth, and then...... He will not owe he has...
There was another silence, Zhuo Donglai turned his head, his eyes were a little erratic, after a while, Sesshomaru heard his sigh in the wind:
"Forget about that promise, you don't owe me." After that, he took another step. The snow in front of him was not swept away, and the moonlight covered the ground with silver frost. His footprints moved straight forward without a trace of hesitation. .
Sesshomaru stared at his back, and then he also took a step. The winter wind blew his wide sleeves. Behind him, the Chang'an market was dimly lit...
The author has something to say:
☆, the moonlight is cold tonight
Sima Chaoqun's yard is in the middle of the Escort Bureau, the location is excellent, facing south, it is bright and bright all year round.There are no flowers and plants in the yard, but there are a lot of seasonal fruits and vegetables. It was Wu Wan's idea. She is of course a good wife. In order to take care of her husband, she pulled out all the original exotic flowers and plants in the yard. Zhuo Donglai searched hard, but it didn't matter at all, no one would blame a woman who cared about her husband wholeheartedly.Then planted fresh green lettuce and green mustard, she can be so considerate, of course she is a good wife and a good mother.
The hall is magnificent, with a soft tiger skin on the main seat, and hard ebony under the tiger skin. In the back hall, there is a simple and thick Eight Immortals table in the center, and an exquisite puppet is lying on the table.The whole body of the puppet has been polished smooth and shiny. It seems that it is often held and played by people, with thin strings hanging from the joints. He is lying there with an exaggerated and stiff smile on his face, sarcastically, silently... …
----
It's not a coincidence that the spring is cold, but there is life. However, yesterday the snow was warm for a while, and there were new buds protruding from the branches. Sesshomaru was standing under an old tree in Ziqidonglai's yard. When he raised his eyes, he saw That timid little green.He remembered that it was the end of spring when he came, and the yard was lush and lush without a trace of desolation. It turned out that it was almost a year in the blink of an eye.
What can one year do, from the mountains to the plains, from the hot summer to the cold winter.
One year is really too short, especially for Sesshomaru. It's just that there were many changes in this year, which made him feel that it was extremely short, but most of the days of this year passed by quietly like running water. There should be no traces, but maybe it was an accident. The days that should have been tasteless like water had a strange change, like wine mixed with purple wine, which was light at first, but became richer and more mellow later. .........
Sesshomaru stared at the only sliver of greenness in this wilderness, stretched out his hand, and touched the fragile branch with his fingertips first, shaking off the remaining snow on the branch, and there was a coldness from his fingertips, he paused, as if suddenly When he woke up, his golden eyes gradually turned cold.He withdrew his hand, turned around and faced the door, which was closed tightly, but he knew that there was a warm warmth from the charcoal fire inside.This is the warmth he never needed, he should be like this, waiting for the vicissitudes of life, waiting for the sun, moon and stars to move, whether life is moving or still, his heart is calm.
He took a deep look at the quaint and carved wooden door, then turned around slowly, and walked out of the door step by step.His footsteps were printed on the ground without any sound, his expression was fixed on his face without any trembling, his steps were firm, just like when he came, just like in his past.
Life is originally composed of various accidents. After passing this one, waiting for the next one, he can only pass by after all.It was an accident that he met Zhuo Donglai, but his departure was not at all......
He stepped out of the courtyard door, and a young man in purple shirt hurriedly greeted him in front of him. His hurried steps stopped suddenly, and he bent down swiftly to salute Sesshomaru:
"I've seen your son."
Sesshomaru also stopped and stared at the young man. The young man lowered his head and couldn't see his eyes or expression clearly. Sesshomaru knew him. His name was Guo Qing, Zhuo Donglai's apprentice.After a while, his deep voice broke the silence, and he said:
"Tell Zhuo Donglai...... I'm leaving." After finishing speaking, he lifted his footsteps.
Guo Qing was taken aback for a moment, but immediately responded:
"Yes!" He didn't ask him where he was going, it wasn't his place to ask, but he could tell that Sesshomaru would not come back, and a trace of surprise flashed through his eyes.
Listening to what he should say, Sesshomaru stopped in his tracks again, and Guo Qing's heart skipped a beat.
The silence spread, and a drop of sweat slid down Guo Qing's forehead. It was icy cold, but he didn't dare to wipe it off, but his expression didn't change at all. From the eyes to the mouth, every curve was exactly the same as at the beginning.
Sesshomaru turned around, locked his eyes on the half-bowed young man, his eyes sharpened but soon relaxed, he pursed his lips, and he took out something, a string of rosewood beads.
It's ironic and funny that he, a monster, carries Buddhist beads with him, but Sesshomaru actually did such an ironic thing.
This is what he asked for from those old bald donkeys before leaving Zhengming Temple. They dared not refuse. He dared not speak in anger, his face was almost blue.Tathagata, they actually useless any monsters running rampant in the temple.In fact, they didn't need to do this. No matter how powerful the Sesshomaru is, they are not incapable of fighting because of the special nature of the land. It's just that the price is too high. Shangzhuo Donglai is such a god of plague... so let's be rampant, the two guys on the left and right are going to leave!
Guo Qing took the string of Buddhist beads, wondering in his heart, which of these two people still believes in this?
The red sandalwood beads are rounded, the wood grain on them is elegant and smooth, exuding a faint woody fragrance, plus the scent of incense stained on them before enshrining Buddha all the year round, holding them can really calm your mind.Guo Qing's eyes were inexplicable, is there anything unusual about this prayer bead?
Indeed there was, and then he heard Sesshomaru say:
"For Zhuo Donglai, if he has anything to do in the future... just crush one of them, and I will come over."
This should have been handed over to him by himself, he thought he liked this kind of thing, that day he stared at the bead of the stupid monk for a long time, but after thinking about it, maybe he thought too much, but the thing is already coming, He tried to draw talismans inside, which can be regarded as learning and using.
He didn't know whether he wanted Zhuo Donglai to call him, whether Zhuo Donglai would call him, or whether he would come after calling him, there were too many things he didn't know, so he simply didn't bother to take care of them.But he didn't promise in empty words, if Zhuo Donglai really needed him, he might return to him by all means... Sesshomaru jumped up and flew to the east.
He has to go back, even if he has no obsession and no reason, he still wants to try to find the way back, and find the reason why he came here.
He walked too resolutely, flew too far, he didn't see a glint of gloom flashing in Guo Qing's eyes, it was terrifying.
------
Sima Chaoqun's courtyard was still facing the sun, with doors and courtyards open in all directions, and the soft veils in the attic fluttered with the wind, blowing past several corpses in the inner room. The corpses were pale and hideous.It's just that there is no trace of fear in the outer hall, and a thick and tragic sorrow fills every corner.
Zhuo Donglai stared at Sima steadfastly, feeling dazed in his heart, it turned out that they had come to this step after all.He heard his hoarse and deep voice say:
"If I don't leave, will you kill me?"
"Yes, I will definitely kill you." Sima Chaoqun also suppressed his voice, as if he was choked up, but more determined.
Zhuo Donglai froze all over, opened his eyes slightly, took a breath, closed his eyes as if he understood something, he felt himself nodding, the blood stained the red flower collection that day, everything might have gone out of control unconsciously, he said :
"I will not leave." The Escort is their common dream, even if Sima Chaoqun betrays him, he will not leave.
Grief and anger have already filled Sima Chaoqun's chest, yes, anyone who has traveled all the way home to see not the warm smiling faces of his wife and children but their cold and terrifying corpses will go crazy, and what's even more crazy is that he can't help it Kill their murderer immediately.Sima Chaoqun's eyes were red, and he almost shed tears. He stared at the purple figure by the window, and said word by word:
"Then, Zhuo Donglai, I will definitely kill you." He seemed to be convincing himself, but after uttering every word, he felt like his heart was frying in a frying pan one after another.
Zhuo Donglai's tightly pursed lips drew an arc, ironic and desolate, he nodded again, turned his back and couldn't bear to look any more, he closed his eyes, swallowed the tears that almost welled up in his eyes, and said:
"Then you later, wait for me to finish the last thing......"
He walked out of the house. Under the sun and in the breeze, his steps were steady. His purple figure was tall and straight, as if he was coming from a god, which deeply burned Sima Chaoqun's eyes.
..............
Guo Qing fell under Zhuo Donglai's knife, and there was a strange sneer on his face before he died, Zhuo Donglai didn't want to pay attention to what he was laughing at.The child who said he was his god died at his hands after all. He had too much blood on his hands in his life, but for Guo Qing, he didn't want to kill him. If he was alive, he might be able to check and balance him in the future, but If he dies unfortunately, Sima Chaoqun will definitely not be able to control him, and even if he dies, he cannot leave any hidden dangers for Sima Chaoqun.
He looked at Sima Chaoqun's angry face and suddenly lost the strength to explain. He looked at him now and thought of him 20 years ago.Young, immature, and ambitious........ He handed him a bowl of steaming chicken soup. At that time, the wound on his body seemed to stop hurting in an instant. The sunshine that day was as beautiful as this day, but the wind But it is not as cold as it is now. He was young and equally ambitious at that time, but he was no longer immature, but he still said the most solemn promise in his life in a rare, innocent tone:
"You are my friend, the best friend of my life."
Good friends, good brothers, share weal and woe, never leave life, never abandon death......
He was about to cry again, but it was just almost...... 20 years have passed, what happened to them to come to this point?Since when did he look at him with fear in his eyes?Since when did he start picking on every word he said?It may have been earlier since he feigned illness and escaped, because the meeting between people is like the separation between people, so natural, so helpless, a person's life is full of so much helplessness, but why Zhuo Donglai's life is almost like Is it composed of helplessness?
----
The wind was blowing quietly, Guo Qing's blood was no longer flowing, the smile on his face was quiet, his eyes were already closed, and he seemed contented.
Sima Chaoqun's eyes were wide open, as if he couldn't believe it, he stared at the air in front of him, as if there was something there, but in the end there was still only a blank space.The cold touch around his neck could not tolerate his disbelief, he heard Zhuo Donglai's empty voice:
"Didn't you always want to know, who is better if we fight against each other?"
"But I don't want to know, I don't want to..." He withdrew his knife, but he couldn't get back the emptiness all over him.
The world is like this, the more you want to know, the more you can’t know, the more you don’t want to know, the more you can’t tolerate ignorance, if you know, you will leave regrets in vain, why bother......
Sima Chaoqun maintained the posture of raising his sword, and Zhuo Donglai's back of the saber left his neck. It has always been Zhuo Donglai's creed to be ruthless against the enemy, but he used the back of his saber to deal with him, perhaps because of this he survived... ....
big hero!ha!Invincible hero!The whole fuck is a good show planned by Zhuo Donglai!He almost heard something slamming in the air, shattering together with the vague dream, it was not his dream long ago, did he lose the dream, or did the dream abandon him?
This is not important, at this moment, nothing is important, what is important to a puppet who is abandoned by its master, and to a puppet who failed to challenge its master?
"Hahahahaha..." He looked up to the sky and laughed, and stumbled out the door.
Zhuo Donglai stared at his back, the colorless liquid slid down, and Sima's sad and sarcastic laughter was next to his ears, but he heard their words a long time ago in a trance:
"I, Sima Chaoqun."
"I, Zhuo Donglai."
"Being brothers today, I don't want to be born in the same year, the same month, and the same day, but I want to die in the same year, the same month, and the same day. From then on, we will rely on each other for good and bad, and we will share weal and woe. The heaven and the earth will testify, and the mountains and rivers will be the alliance. If we violate this promise, the heaven and the earth will be punished together!"
It's just that the oath is fresh and new, where is the Sri Lankan?
Zhuo Donglai raised his hand, wiped away the last tear from the corner of his eyes expressionlessly, a white shadow suddenly flashed in his eyes, and his ears faintly said:
"I will never face Sima Daojian," he said.
"Really?" Sesshomaru said.
He provoked a sarcastic smile, he suddenly wanted to meet Sesshomaru......
But he was destined not to see it, Zi Qi came from the east to live in the sky.
Zhuo Donglai sat until late at night, the Persian grape wine in the glass was already cold, he picked up the wine cup and drank it down, the cold liquid slid down to his stomach, the empty stomach began to throb, his complexion was white, his expression remained unchanged, This is already the No.30 four glasses of wine he drank tonight, the wine jar has bottomed out, only the mellow smell of wine remains, Sesshomaru has not returned yet.
His door was open, the moonlight was cold, and the empty courtyard was covered with snow. He looked at it, and it seemed that the sky was old and the land was barren in an instant. He felt in a daze that Sesshomaru might never come back again.Then it also proved his conjecture, and the subordinates hurried over:
"Master Zhuo, this was found on Guo Qing's body. There is no record of him buying this item before."
Zhuo Donglai took it with a blank expression. This is a string of rosewood beads with a deep and elegant fragrance, just like the breath on his body.This may belong to Sesshomaru, or it may be the last thing he left behind.He swung his subordinates back, turned around and walked back to the inner room wearily, he walked very slowly, and his back seemed to have changed a lot.
He and Shangmen were isolated in their own small world, his hands clenched the beads tightly, his knuckles turned white, it seemed that the round wooden beads would be broken into pieces in a second, but he suddenly let go of his hands again, and bowed his head. The corners of the head and lips are raised, the smile is thin and cold, and the smile is sad:
"Sima, betray me for a woman, Die Wu, betray me for a man, Guo Qing, betray me for his brother... What about you? What would you do for... ..."
With his head held high, he walked to the center of the crowd, he waved his arms, and the crowd admired him, he looked back and looked around, but the surroundings were empty... But so what, he raised his head, his eyes were clear, even if So what if the whole world is against him?
"Even if it's just me, I won't lose. Even if it's just me, I can go on."
He slowly went to the bed, took off his purple brocade robe, put the red sandalwood beads in his arms, and put them close to his heart, it seemed warm or cold......
The author has something to say:
☆、Desolate store
There have always been many unexplainable anecdotes in ancient oriental countries. Most of them come from old forests and remote places with few people. This is the place where Sesshomaru likes to go. He never likes a crowd of noisy scenes.
There are no traces, and the path made up of jagged rocks is surrounded by smoke and clouds.Sesshomaru walked slowly and alone, frowning as he walked, he accidentally walked to the monk's nest last time, so don't detour to some strange place this time.Although he is not afraid, the side effects are always irritating. There are too many things in this continent that he does not understand. From the things that the monk gave him, he can get a glimpse of them. He is not so arrogant and feels that he is Already invincible.
With two or three flapping sounds, a pair of black crows flew past the head, Sesshomaru's expression turned serious, his hand was pressed on the handle of the knife, his eyes narrowed and stared aside.
"Hehehehe..." A string of charming laughter was as crisp as a silver bell, and it was very strange for no reason on the empty path.
Sesshomaru's eyes turned cold, and he said coldly:
"come out."
As soon as the words were finished, a petite figure jumped out of the shadows of the bushes beside him. His crimson clothes were like fire, and he was as charming as the evening sun, which seemed to illuminate the sunny mountain road by a third.
"Don't be angry, I'm just happy. It's been a long time since no one has been here." She looked only fifteen or sixteen years old, her almond eyes were big and bright, and she blinked two or three times. It's joy.
Sesshomaru frowned, looked at the woman in front of him calmly, and remained silent.
"Ah, it doesn't seem to be a human being, so let me just say, how can a human find such a ghostly place!" She stuck out her tongue, as if she was sorry for the slip of the tongue just now.
"Let's see, what kind of monster..." She mumbled and took a few steps closer, and stopped abruptly as soon as she finished speaking, looking at the point of the sword pointed at her in front of her with a bit of depression and aggrieved.
Rolling his eyes, he snorted:
"Stingy, I didn't mean to scare you."
Exhaled, she was optimistic by nature, she shouldn't care about this guy with a stinky face, she laughed again, and said:
"What's your name, what are you doing here?"
Sesshomaru put away Fighting Ghosts and said coldly:
"A rabbit?"
The little girl pursed her lips. She didn't like her dark fur and always wore red clothes, so everyone always misunderstood her prototype. I didn't expect that the annoying ghost in front of me could recognize it at a glance
