not immortal

At the end of the alley in the rain, a door was pushed open, and a woman in her [-]s and [-]s walked out of it, with gray hair and a haggard face, holding two white lanterns in her hands, staring at the rain curtain outside the door for a long time , she took a quick breath, and a short choked sob escaped from her throat.

"That's Kang Ye's mother," Jiang Xu's voice was muffled, "When I came last time, she was much healthier than now."

What he saw was different from others, he could see that the woman's body was getting more and more black and dead, accumulating into a disease, and she didn't have much time left.

Chi Yuan didn't answer, and walked over there without saying a word. The woman was tiptoeing to hang a lantern on the eaves. The faded red lantern at her feet was soaked by the rain, and its wrinkles faded in the water. It was so gorgeous that even the corners of the woman's black skirt were soaked, but as if she didn't realize it, she leaned out half of her body into the rain.

The torrential rain was covered by an umbrella, she raised her head, and saw a young man in white holding an umbrella and brushing gently over her shoulders, the biting chill on her body subsided for the most part, the corners of her dry clothes were fluttering in the wind, she looked straight at Into the pair of clear amber pupils.

"Ah, it's you," she said with a slight look in her eyes, "that young hero friend of Ah Ye's."

Another person approached her with a handsome and gentle face, and he accepted the lantern in her hand without refusal: "The road is slippery in rainy days, how can Madam do this kind of thing by herself, why don't I hang it up for you."

The woman watched hesitantly as Chi Yuan hung the lantern on the eaves with ease, then moved closer to Jiang Xu, and asked in a low voice, "Who is this?"

"Mrs. Kang, don't be nervous." Jiang Xu shielded her from the rain, and also lowered his tone, "This is the big brother of the Wuqing Sect, Qi Youjun, who passed by here and helped me a little."

"It turns out that he is also the fairy elder on that mountain." Mrs. Kang nodded to Chi Yuan with tears in her eyes. "It's inconvenient at home today. I can't invite you into the house for a cup of hot tea. Please forgive me."

Just as Chi Yuan was about to say something, Jiang Xu glared at him quickly, lowered his head again, and asked with a low expression: "Brother Kang, he has been suffering for a few months...do you still go?"

Before she finished listening to this sentence, the tears in Mrs. Kang's eyes fell down, she covered her face with her sleeves, and choked up, cursing: "Idiot, idiot!"

"Madam's condolences." Chi Yuan put his hands behind his back, with a mournful expression, "Although I don't know what happened before, I still want to try my best to comfort Madam, can you tell me what happened to your son?"

With a high-sounding appearance, Jiang Xu secretly slandered, patted the back of Mrs. Kang's cold hand, and persuaded in a low voice: "Brother Kang is very sick, Mr. Qiyou is well-informed, maybe he can see something."

But Mrs. Kang just shook her head with tears, and it took her a long time to swallow the bitterness in her throat, and reluctantly said: "The young man also knows about Yunyou, my idiot just happened to encounter the scene where the gangsters were wielding swords and hurting people, and I watched helplessly. Yun Ling swallowed her breath, returned home in a daze and couldn't get sick, and now... it's been a little while."

Jiang Xu listened, but his eyes unconsciously fell on the wrinkled red lantern on the ground. The color was already thin, but now it was washed by the rain, and the original appearance could not be seen at all.

Chi Yuan's slightly puzzled tone came from next to his ear: "Have you been sick all this time? Has Madam asked a doctor to come and see her?"

"I did look for it," Mrs. Kang said in a trance with red eyes, "but I changed several doctors and took many kinds of pharmacies, but he never opened his eyes. If he wasn't still breathing, he would just... As if dead..."

It was indeed a symptom of the soul leaving the body, Chi Yuan met Xiao Jun and Chen Chuan's eyes in a subtle way, and then said: "Excuse me for taking the liberty, may Madam allow us to go in now to express our condolences?"

"Of course it is possible," Mrs. Kang hesitated after finishing speaking, "It's just that my husband is dressing my son, and we need to wait for a while."

Chi Yuan nodded slightly, and said happily: "Then we will wait here for a while."

For a while, the world returned to silence, and Jiang Xu seemed to recover from his trance, and said abruptly, "This lantern..."

Mrs. Kang was stunned, and followed his gaze to the ground, showing some nostalgia and regret: "Young Xia made it for their funeral ceremony, and I haven't had time to take it down since Aye and Niaoyou's accident." gone."

It is useless now, Jiang Xu thought, what a pity.

I was still studying for a long time.

"By the way," Jiang Xu asked again, "How is Sister Yunyu's restaurant now? I think it's been closed all the time, so it doesn't look like it's been sold out."

Mrs. Kang was stunned, and said: "Xiao Gao took over after Niaoyou left, but he hasn't been here for a long time, why didn't you join him this time?"

Jiang Xu was stunned, quickly lowered his eyes and clutched his cuffs, and told her in a steady voice: "We are not disciples of the same peak, and we haven't seen each other for a long time, and he is probably quite busy."

Mrs. Kang comprehended, but instead comforted him: "Xiao Gao is very talented, and he is busy making progress now, so it is naturally excellent."

No, Jiang Xu was busy tinkering with the spirit gathering formation, the corners of Jiang Xu's mouth twitched, and he couldn't help cursing in his heart, if Shang Yuan hadn't happened to bump into him and sister Yunyu before, he would have been hidden from it.

Chi Yuan listened quietly for a while, and then asked: "I don't know who this Yun Niao is?"

"Yuniao," Mrs. Kang sighed leisurely, her eyes still red and swollen, "she is a good girl. She lost her parents when she was a teenager. Before her father left, she betrothed the child to our family. Later, she It's just a pity that another person supports the restaurant left by her father."

This is completely different from what Yun Ling said.

Chi Yuan's expression became a little subtler, and his tone was a little lighter: "But what happened?"

In the end, Mrs. Kang shed tears. She held onto Jiang Xu's hand tightly, shaking her body violently. She was speechless for a long time, so frightened that Jiang Xu secretly sent some spiritual energy into her body, so that Mrs. Kang would not faint on the spot. .

"Let me tell you," Jiang Xu couldn't help but sighed, feeling helpless, "Sister Yunyu and Brother Kang Ye's wedding date is set before the year, I slipped down the mountain with great difficulty, but saw a white flag hanging up in Sister Yunyu's house, After asking, I found out that something happened to them... When Sister Yunyu closed the store and went home, she met some bad guys blocking the way, so she just left."

"Where's the villain?" Xiao Jun interjected, frowning.

Jiang Xu glanced at him, then said softly: "I was dragged to the mortal yamen and sentenced to death."

Originally this was supposed to be the end, but when he was in Shangyuan, he was thinking about going down the mountain to see Mrs. Kang who was distraught, but he just happened to bump into Gao Hang and Yun Niao who had been made into a living ghost. Entangling grievances.

However, Chi Yuan took a deep look at Jiang Xu and understood what he meant - Mrs. Kang didn't know about it, and he didn't want Mrs. Kang to know.

Why?

After thinking about it for a while, he got the unspoken thing: the little Gao in Kangfu's mouth is very likely to be the same person as the Gao Lang mentioned by Yun Ling.

And Jiang Xu has been concealing the existence of this person from beginning to end.

Jiang Xu quietly kept all his emotions in his eyes, and finally his lips moved, and a thin voice came into Chi Yuan's ears alone: ​​"Leave from here, and I will tell you."

Chi Yuan lifted his eyelids and retracted what he was about to say, Jiang Xu raised the corners of his mouth and said to Mrs. Kang: "It's cold outside, let's go in first."

This expression is much easier to guess than Yan Sui's.

Mrs. Kang slowed down, and nodded to Jiang Xu: "Okay, it should be almost there, let's go in."

As soon as the voice fell, there was a creaking sound in the yard. A burly man walked out with his shoulders bent, his eyes were also red, and he was obviously stunned when he saw a few strangers standing at the door.

"Uncle Kang, "m" "'f" "x" "y" %攉木格沃话次" Jiang Xu took the initiative to call him, with a clear voice, "Please mourn."

The man froze for a moment, as if reflecting who he was, and then nodded to him after a while, with a depressed expression: "Jiang Shaoxia, long time no see."

Hearing what Chi Yuan said about his visit, he silently led a group of people into the house. The person lying on the bed had a serene face and a smile on his mouth. He was wearing a navy blue shroud, which was barely covered, as if he had just fallen asleep not long ago. .

"Suddenly I lost my breath," the man breathed heavily, "but I didn't suffer too much, I walked easily."

It's really not a lot of pain to lose your soul, Jiang Xu thought, but it's just that there will be no next life, and I don't know if it is good or bad.

His eyes glanced at Kang Ye's body, and after being bedridden for several months, he was inevitably thinned down to a bone, and only a thin layer of skin remained on his hands to cover the protruding veins and joints...

and many more.

Jiang Xu's pupils shrank, and he abruptly interrupted the man who was still telling Chi Yuan about the situation: "What is he wearing on his hand?"

"Ah?" The man was at a loss for a moment before hesitating, "I don't know too well, maybe it was given to him by that child Yunyou, and he wore it on his hand when he came back that day."

Jiang Xu leaned down, and pointed to cut off the discolored red rope on Kang Ye's wrist - it was decorated with a crystal clear stone, Jiang Xu thought about it, "m" "'f" "x" "y" %攉木格沃曲曾 seems to be a photo stone that I gave to Kang Ye when I was drinking with Gao Hang when Gao Hang was away, and it contains the scenery of Qiongxiao Peak when the snow falls.

Ordinary people can't climb Qiongxiao Peak, so they can only use this method to get a glimpse of the scenery of the fairy family.

If I remember correctly, I should be able to save some more things... I also taught Kang Ye to use his method.

"Huh," Chi Yuan also leaned over, "This is the picture stone studied by the Wuji Sect. It is said that even people without spiritual power can use it. Did it come from Junior Brother Jiang?"

Jiang Xu suddenly raised his eyes and looked at him, his eyes were clear, and his voice was unreadable: "Here is what you want."

Chi Yuan's expression became a little serious, he nodded slightly, took the object from Jiang Xu's hand, poured spiritual power into it, and then closed his eyes, a mountain top covered with heavy snow flashed quickly in his mind, and finally the picture turned and turned into The scene of Yong'an Town——

Under the moonlight, the long sword picked up a thin body, his eyes moved up along the sword, and saw a piece of black robe with the pattern of Wujizong embroidered on the heel, and the person wearing this robe had Zhang Zhouzheng's hair on it. face, eyes dark.

He said: "I love Yuniao so much, since I can't get it, why not destroy her, and I will go to find her next life, and then without you, she will naturally respond to me."

Chi Yuan suddenly opened his eyes, only to see a pair of clear amber pupils staring at him indifferently all the time, and when he came back to his senses, he pulled an innocent smile from the corner of his mouth: "I said, don't make rash decisions if you don't know the truth."

That was my best friend, and a little sadness flashed in his heart, Jiang Xu stood up, clasped his fists at them, and said, "Since this matter is over, let's take a step ahead, and leave the rest of the matter to Mr. Qiyou"m""'f ""x" "y"% 攉木格瓦品死。

I know Yun Ling deserves to die, but I don't practice the way of ruthlessness, how can I make a decision so quickly.

Thinking about it, he quickly turned around and took a breath. He didn't know what to say, so he could only leave first and continue to travel to other places, planning to come back after a while to pay homage.

But I heard Chi Yuan calling himself back: "Junior Brother Jiang, wait a minute, are you going to the Dao Discussion Conference?"

Jiang Xu was stunned, then looked back at him, a little puzzled: "I'm not on the list this time."

"That's strange," Chi Yuan raised his eyebrows slightly, "I just contacted Zi Jijun on the road, and he said that you traveled down the mountain just for this conference."

Jiang Xu felt a little bad, but he could only bite the bullet and ask, "You contacted my brother? Did he tell you?"

This place is not suitable to stay for long, he thought, I must leave as soon as possible.

Unexpectedly, Chi Yuan smiled calmly, and said softly: "So Junior Brother Jiang doesn't need to rush away. Counting the time, Mr. Ziji is coming soon. Anyway, we are going to Mingzhou to participate in the Dao Discussion Conference. Why don't we go together?" Mingzhou."

"No," Jiang Xu refused quickly, looking at Chi Yuan warily, "I still have something..."

"What else?"

A gentle smile came from behind, familiar yet somewhat different, Jiang Xu turned around in surprise, and saw Yan Sui standing in the courtyard with a plain green umbrella, wearing a water blue gown, with his hands on Jingwu, smiling Watching him warmly.

"If it's an important matter, why don't you tell me about it, and you can share some of the worries for the younger brother."

It’s over.

Jiang Xu only felt a chill behind his back, he quickly showed a cute smile at Yan Sui, and moved slowly into the courtyard.

Brother is angry.

old age

In fact, it’s love killing, the villain is Gao Hang (sigh)
