The person on the bed was shocked by these words, and temporarily stopped his movements. He slowly raised his body and turned his head.

That handsome face was exactly Cong Yuan, his expression was indifferent and calm, his eyes were empty, and he didn't show the slightest panic because of Xiaoming's words.He even showed a slight smile, his eyes fixed on us, as if he was staring at a wisp of mist in early spring, "Of course I know he is dead. I collected so many souls, but he didn't even I just can’t eat it, what is it if it’s not dead? Normally, no matter how unwilling he is, I have a way to make him eat it.”

Xiaoming frowned, pulled off his clothes and put them on Cong Yuan, and lightly comforted him, "I know the hatred in your heart. For those things in the past, I hated him as much as Zhuguang, but now he is dead. The deceased has already died. Well, he is indeed hateful, but you also took revenge on him, if there are still many things to play with, let it all pass."

Cong Yuan didn't seem to hear what he said at all, still smiling, wrapped the dead Bai Shang gently with the quilt, and gently wiped the blood from the corner of his lips.Cong Yuan's movements were gentle and cautious, as if he was afraid of hurting him.

"You go out, I want to be alone with him." He said to us indifferently, but kept looking at the dead man.

Such an affectionate scene only makes me feel ridiculous.

"You want to be alone with him? You can't be together again. Since you killed the person you love, you should know the consequences, why bother to say such things now." I pulled Xiaoming away, with eyes He motioned for Lu Mingchen and the youth of the Flood Dragon Clan to follow, and walked towards the door together, "Then let you stay alone, if you are willing to watch his corpse rot inch by inch."

"Shut up!" Cong Yuan grabbed his clothes and stood up, as if eager to defend himself, "I didn't kill him!" His voice gradually dropped, "How could I kill him, I..."

"Congyuan!" Xiaoming let me take a few steps in a daze, then turned his head to look at him in shock, "What did you say? You... don't tell me you like... Bai..."

"I didn't want him to die, I just hated it... From the first time we met, he was always so high above me, I knew from the very beginning that he was just playing with me, and I told myself not to care, it was just to destroy the Protoss temporarily Sell ​​your body. But..."

Cong Yuan covered his face with his hands, "I didn't kill him. He has been ignoring me for the past few days. I was in a bad mood. Tonight he suddenly said that he wanted to drink with me. When I was happy, I drank more." A few cups. When I woke up, I found that the whole person was tied up. I thought he was trying to escape, but who would have thought that he... actually broke Yuan Yu in front of me..."

Cong Yuan's voice trembled, "I watched the blood flow out, as if it would never stop, he pulled out his Yuan Yu bit by bit, but kept smiling at me. It was his own body, Doesn't he hurt at all? Why does he keep smiling at me? Why? I yelled and struggled desperately, but he was so calm and calm. Every time I pulled out a little, he handed it to me to let me see clearly... I know he Not crazy, he is so calm, looking at me coldly, he did it after thinking about it carefully, he wanted me to watch him die, and he wanted me to remember forever."

"I couldn't move. He was tied so tightly. I struggled desperately, but I couldn't move... I couldn't move until someone came in to help me untie the rope. He had...had..."

Cong Yuan sat slumped on the edge of the bed, pulling his hair fiercely, the bloodstains on his wrists were clearly visible, "He thought he could leave me by doing this...hehe...I won't let him do what he wants, I want him to be with me forever Together, no matter what he becomes..."

He laughed with sobs, a radiant pearl rolled from between the fingers covering his face, and hit the ground with a crisp sound, and then the pearls fell one after another, rolling into the dust.

Not every tear of the Jiaolong tribe can form into a bright pearl, but it can only be formed when they are truly mourning. These shark beads are all painstaking efforts, and each of them will consume a considerable amount of their lifespan.

"Congyuan..." Xiaoming showed a sad expression, walked over slowly, put his hands on Congyuan's shoulders.

Lu Mingchen didn't speak, but just stared at Bai Shang's lifeless face.

He was looking in the same direction as I was.

"You said you didn't kill him?" I stepped forward, came to the bed, and gently pulled off the quilt wrapped around Bai Shang, "This is indeed the former Xijun Bai Shang, but it seems that I don't know him. That one. His skin is not so white and delicate, his waist is not so thin, and his body does not have so many expensive decorations."

Although it was just a glimpse, it was already enough for me to see the changes in Bai Shang.

Such a skin that is as white as new snow can never be formed naturally, it must have been carefully bleached; the slender waist should have been taken out of the ribs; there are all kinds of breast rings and so on, It is easy for people to understand how the white merchants have been treated these years.

Falling from the clouds into the mud, how could Bai Shang's arrogant personality withstand it?

Congyuan pressed my hand that pulled the quilt away, and his tear-stained face turned pale instantly.

"You said you didn't kill him?" I repeated it again, took a step forward, and looked down at Bai Shang, "You like him? You love him? So you treat him like this?"

"What qualifications do you have to question me?!" Cong Yuan pushed me away violently, staring at me with blood-red eyes, "That's right. I did something wrong, and I will regret it for the rest of my life. Anyone in this world can Come and accuse me, but Shen Yin—only you can’t do it.” His voice suddenly softened, and his facial features gradually distorted, “Master Shen Yin, have you forgotten how you treat the person you love?”

These words felt like a heavy punch had hit my chest, and the blood color quickly faded from my face.

"Stop talking, Cong Yuan." Xiao Ming tried to stop him from continuing, but it didn't work.

Cong Yuan sneered and approached me step by step, "In terms of cruelty and heartlessness, all of us are probably inferior to you, Lord Shen Yin. I remember that you cut off the natal flower of the real god with your own hands, and let him break off with the one he loves." , and force him not to die just like that. This will make him unable to live or die, Lord Shen Yin, your methods are indeed much better than mine."

I closed my eyes and barely suppressed the dizziness caused by the pain in my heart. When I opened my eyes again, I looked straight into Cong Yuan's suppressed angry eyes, "Say these words to me, you forgot why you invited me here ? You really don't want Bai Shang to come back to life?"

This remark caused Cong Yuanshang to be surprised, "You think he can still survive?!"

His momentum weakened instantly, "Do you have a way to save him?"

"I also died once, if I can come back to life, so can Bai Shang." I looked at Cong Yuan calmly.

Cong Yuan's hair is disheveled and his face is gloomy. I don't know how much his love for Bai Shang is, whether it is enough to make him give up his self-esteem as a superior all these years.

"Please... no, please save him." Without any hesitation, Cong Yuan knelt down in front of me on one knee. The aggression just now was completely gone on his face, only sadness and begging remained.

He put his hands on the ground and bowed to me, which is the highest etiquette that the Jiaolong tribe can only use when offering sacrifices, "If you can really save him, the Jiaolong tribe is here to ask for help..."

But I'm not so easily soft-hearted.

I looked down at him, "I don't need you to beg me, I just want to exchange terms with you. If one day you can find a way to return to Tanhua City, come to Weiyu Mountain to find me. At that time, Bai Shang to wake up again."

***

When Lu Mingchen and I walked out of the palace, Xiaoming chased after him, "Master Shen Yin, please don't mind what Cong Yuan said just now, he was just in a hurry..."

"Don't say any more, I don't mind." I interrupted him and took Lu Mingchen away.

I have been to Lidu many times, and I am familiar with everything here.

Before I knew it, I went to the place where Ruomu was.

Ruomu is the tree of life in Lidu.

The fragments of the collapsed Tanhua City fell from the nine heavens, and the parts that fell on the Lianxiao Peak of Riyue Mountain became the future Lidu.But these fragments are not in a regular shape, one side is lighter and the other side is heavier, once the balance is lost, the entire Lidu will fall from Lianxiao Peak.Fortunately, Ruomu grows in the lighter area of ​​Lidu, so that the gravity is balanced, and Lidu can exist.

Ruomu grows in the easternmost part of Lidu. The main trunk is two miles long, the leaves are as long as an adult's arm, and the branches are intertwined.Entering the area where Ruoki grows is like walking into a dense forest.

In the middle of the dense forest formed by Ruomu, to the east of the main trunk, there is a pale golden waterfall falling from the sky, watering this magical tree of life.

This waterfall is only about three feet wide. It falls from an ethereal height, and its source is invisible to the naked eye. It is called the "Waterfall of the Sky" by the world.

Not far from the waterfall, a small thatched cottage is built against a tree. Warm orange light shines through the propped up windows. The pale golden water reflects the light, as if the stars are floating down the sky.

My footsteps stopped a hundred steps away from the thatched cottage, and I looked up at the slender pale golden flowing water. The past events of the past were like a continuous picture scroll unfolding in my mind.

……

After a long time, Lu Mingchen finally interrupted my contemplation, "Star Master, are you still angry at what Master Congyuan said just now?"

I turned to look at him, "You think I'm angry?"

The young man bowed slightly, staring deeply at me with beautiful eyes, "You don't seem to be in a good mood."

"Lu Mingchen, how old are you this year?"

"24 is old."

"It's an adult for a human being," I smiled. "If you've lived to my age, you'll know that sometimes people get angry because they can't face who they really are. But I've never known myself What kind of person is he? Cong Yuan said that I am cruel and heartless, and there is no wrong word, so I will not be angry or sad because of it."

"But what you said is not wrong, I'm not in a good mood..." I pointed to the star-like water, "Did you see that waterfall?"

"Yes."

"Some people call it the waterfall of the sky, thinking that it bestows extraordinary life on Ruomu, and can even give people a new life. The world worships it, but only I know that this stream of water, which has been deified by countless people, is actually just because of the mixture of some Only the blood of a person can have such a miraculous effect. However, because the concentration is too low, it is useful for trees, but it has no effect on people, unless this person can also stand under the waterfall for many years like Ruomu."

A shock flashed in the eyes of the human youth, "Star Lord, are you saying that the 'Waterfall of Heaven' should actually be the 'Waterfall of Blood'?"

"Yes."

"This...is really unbelievable."

I followed the source of the waterfall of the sky and looked towards the dark void, "However, this is not ordinary blood, it is the blood of the gods. It is not the blood of the so-called gods now, but the blood of the real gods in this world, and it is also my blood." the blood of a loved one."

The young man's face was full of astonishment.

I laughed, "Don't those people who taught you to dye your hair silver didn't tell you who I like?"

Lu Mingchen hurriedly lowered his head, "It's just rumored that you like people with long silver hair, strange-colored eyes, and a stern expression, and there is no more detailed description."

"So now you know, I love such an unattainable person."

"Star Lord..." The young man paused for a moment before saying, "You said that the real god in this world, why have I never heard anything about him? Only the three immortals Su Yilan, He Shufang, and Xiao Zhedan created the world through meditation, and then As for the theory of ascending to immortality, where did other gods come from?"

"Su Yilan?" I broke off a leaf of a tree, and the leaves quickly withered between my fingers, "The Su Yilan you mentioned lived in this thatched hut in front of you. For thousands of years, he never walked out. One step beyond here, day and night sad, day and night regret, how do you let him meditate? How to create the world?"

"Isn't Su Shangxian one of the seven stars?"

"Yes, because this is my request." I threw down the dead leaf, "It is because of his stupidity and distrust that we have the opportunity to defeat the undefeated true god. After knowing the truth of everything , Su Yilan was in pain, but wanted to see that person again, so he couldn't die. At that time, I wanted him to become one of the seven stars, the power holder after the true god disappeared, and let him always remember that he gave to his beloved. destruction brought about by man."

"At that time, I was so resentful that I never thought that the person who planned those injuries was not Su Yilan, but myself. Su Yilan at least knew remorse and sorrow, but I was happy because of these injuries for a long time How could he like such an ugly person?"

"Star Lord..." Lu Mingchen wrapped his arms around my shoulders and hugged me gently.

I sighed softly, "Su Yilan lives here, but he only guessed that the waterfall flowed from the Tanhua City where that person lived. He didn't know that the golden liquid in it was the blood of the true god. I wanted to find the most suitable time to tell He doesn't think about these things now. I will probably never have good intentions towards Su Yilan, but I don't hate him anymore. It's too tiring, whether it's love or hate, but he should still have the strength to hate me for the rest of his life..."

The young man lowered his head, touched my lips lightly, and sealed my unspoken words, and I opened my mouth to entangle with him.

It was a very tender kiss, and some subtle feelings spread from the bottom of my heart.

When both of them were a little out of breath, Lu Mingchen withdrew from my mouth, held my face in his arms, and kissed my cheek.

I closed my eyes and let myself indulge in such an atmosphere.

It is a once-in-a-hundred-year gathering of the seven stars, and the purpose of my visit is just to have a look at Su Yilan.

Many times, I walked up to him, trying to put on a mocking face, but finally realized that the one who should be laughed at the most was actually myself.

At least Su Yilan still has the love of Xinglin.

What do I have?

How come there is still the position of ridiculing others?

Su Yilan is sad every day and regrets every night, so why not me?

Have I never regretted, felt sorry for what I did?

I dare not continue to question myself like this.

So today, I no longer approach Su Yilan's thatched cottage, I can only watch the golden starlight falling from the sky, and finally disappear in front of Su Yilan's window.

Lu Mingchen hugged me quietly, and after a long time, he whispered in my ear: "Star Master, I actually have an opposite story here."

"Oh?"

"I never knew who my parents were since I was a child. Before I was seven years old, I was a servant of a certain fairy. I lived with many children in a small yard and did some light work every day. At that time, I had He is a good friend, he is straightforward and has a cheerful personality, and he always helps others, and everyone likes him very much.”

Listening to the young man's narration, I can probably guess what kind of situation it is.

Under the current slave system in the Cangming Continent, in order to prevent the slaves from forming a close alliance, newborn children are often taken away from their parents, and there are special people who teach children to train them how to become qualified slaves.Whenever human children reach the age of seven to ten, the messengers in Eternal Night City will pick out the ones with outstanding looks and send them to the capital of desire.

The young man hugged my hand tightly, "When I was seven years old, some people suddenly came to that fairy's house, saying that they wanted to choose some of us and take them to another place. It is said that the place is extremely scary. , all children are very afraid of being selected, so on the day of the selection, I hid because of my cowardice. In order to avoid being punished by the master, my best friend took my name and participated in the selection, but was selected Take him away. He is one year younger than me, only six years old that year..."

"Later, as I grew up, I heard more and more rumors about that terrible place. I couldn't imagine how my friends lived there and what they encountered, and finally I made a decision. Ten When I was [-] years old, someone came to hold a selection, and this time I deliberately let myself be selected."

I looked up at the young man, his expression was natural and peaceful.Under the dim light, the lines of the side face are breath-taking. It should be very easy to be selected with such a complexion.

The story of the youth continues: "In this way, I also came to that place and lived there for ten years. During these ten years, after asking around, I learned that my childhood friend was killed by a family at the age of 12. I was taken away by a young fairy and didn't suffer too much. I was very happy for him, but at the same time I was also depressed for what happened to me at the time. But this time, I knew that running away would never solve the problem, so I finally left there, to come to your side."

"You said it was a reverse story," I looked at the youth, "so what are you trying to tell me?"

The young man touched my forehead softly, "I just want to say to the Star Master that if you do some things, you may regret it, but if you don't do it, you will definitely regret it. You don't need to be too harsh on yourself."

"You're good at comforting others," I smiled, "or maybe it's because you're still too young."

Young people embrace me tightly under the tree of life.

The stars in the distance enveloped us gently.

I hugged the young man's waist, crossed my hands behind his back, and gently raised my right hand to the back of his head... After a while, I put my hand down again, and the magic power did not come out.

Maybe I really shouldn't be too hard on myself.

It might be nice to have someone who can share their memories.

Then there is no need to erase his memory of today for the time being.
