The weather was getting colder and colder, and Yue Qiluo's body was getting worse and worse, getting weaker day by day, like a dying person who had been bedridden for a long time.Shen Jianli has also been troubled recently, often staying in the barracks from early morning until late at night before returning.Yue Qiluo also stayed at home, locked the door all day long and didn't know what she was doing. When the weather was fine, she would open a window and paint outside.

Today was a fine day again, Yue Qiluo opened the window near the front yard, and a Guhongzhaoshuimei was planted under the window, and it hadn't reached the flowering period yet, a few flowering branches trembling in the cold wind.Yue Qiluo unfolded a piece of drawing paper, dipped a pen into the ink, but didn't know where to start.

"Are you going to suffocate yourself in the house?"

Wuxin carried a net of vegetables, stood by the window with arms folded, looking at Yue Qiluo with a smile.

Yue Qiluo put away the pen, expressionless: "You blocked my plum blossom."

"December in the cold winter, how can there be any plum blossoms?" Wuxin looked over Yue Qiluo's shoulder and looked into her room, "Why are you pretending to be elegant recently? You have painted so many paintings."

Ink dripped from the tip of the pen and landed on the snow-white rice paper, blurring a spot of ink.She rested the nib on the grid and turned her hands away to look at the paintings.In fact, her painting skills are mediocre, but she has learned a little since she has lived many years.Every paint here is mixed with her blood, and she painted a room full of magic circles for herself.

"Where's Zhang Xianzong?" Yue Qiluo turned his head, "Is he outside?"

"You don't know that kid is alone all day long?" Wu Xin was taken aback, "Yue Qiluo, what are you doing behind our backs?"

Yue Qiluo froze for a moment, and walked over to close the window.

"Yue Qiluo," Wuxin said with a serious expression, "What the hell are you hiding!"

"It's not your turn to worry about my affairs. If you're not angry, go as far away as possible." Yue Qiluo frowned, shut the window with a snap, and left Wuxin patting the frame outside the window.

She leaned against the paper window, trembling and closing her eyelids, her chest suddenly surged with blood.She staggered a few steps, trying to support something, but she knocked the antique vase off the shelf, fell to the ground and broke into pieces.Yue Qiluo rushed to the desk, supported the edge of the desk, spat out a big mouthful of blood, and spilled all on the rice paper.

Wuxin shouted out of the window: "Yue Qiluo, don't be stupid!"

Yue Qiluo swayed, her whole body was pressed on the table, and she smiled softly.The blood seeped into the rice paper, but it looked like a red plum.It's just that it's not a good painting if you don't realize the shape.

"senior."

She looked up at the man in white in front of her, and wiped the blood from her lips with the back of her hand.The man in white had a calm face, saluted her with one hand on his shoulder, then lowered his head silently, waiting for her to speak.

"Not enough... not enough," Yue Qiluo slapped the corner of the table fiercely, "Go find it again!"

Even if she poured out the entire city of Chongqing, she still had to get what she wanted.What she wants to do, even if it will be infamous for thousands of years, no one will stop her.

Shen Jianli stayed in the barracks for a day and a night, handing over work, studying tactics, and stepping up training soldiers.He fell asleep on the table at night, got up the next morning and resumed training, but Lin Huaiqing couldn't see it, and he was able to go back to the other hospital to rest for his class.

When we arrived at the other courtyard, it was just after noon, but there was no one in the courtyard.Wuxin was absent, and the door of Yue Qiluo's room was wide open, and something was stewed in the small kitchen, which smelled like beef soup.He yelled a few times, but no one answered him.

He suspected that there was a thief, but his west wing was locked well, and there was no sign of people walking in the main room, but the door of the east wing was rarely left open.Shen Jianli had never entered the East Wing Room by himself, but now seeing the door was open, he walked in by accident.

In the past when Yue Qiluo was around, he would only stay in the first room when he entered here.Contrary to common sense, the first room just entering the door is Yue Qiluo's bedroom, and further inside, there is another room that is not small.Although Shen Jianli didn't often stay in the other courtyard recently, he also knew that Yue Qiluo was obsessed with painting these days, thinking that she was bored in the back room and painted brilliantly, so she forgot to close the door, so she pushed open the small door and walked in.

As soon as he entered the inner room, he was stunned for a moment, and then he realized that Yue Qiluo probably put all the candles in this room, besides the candles, there were paintings hanging all over the room, Dazzling for a moment, I don't know where to look.There is an incense burner on the table facing the door, and three human bones with blood engraved on it are inserted in the incense burner.There is something hanging on the wall behind the censer. Looking along the way, it is a thin silk cheongsam of porcelain green. The style is a little old, but half of the body is soaked with old blood. There is a bullet hole on the shoulder with a blackened edge. , the bloodstains spread from the bullet holes in the form of jets.

When Shen Jianli saw the cheongsam, it was like five thunderbolts, a severe headache exploded in his temple, the pain made him dizzy, and the beating of his heart beat on his eardrum like a drum.The more he looked at it, the more familiar it became, but he couldn't remember it. Suddenly, a sense of sadness welled up in his heart, tugging at his heart.He restrained himself from looking at it, and it took a lot of effort to look away.To put it bluntly, as soon as his eyes moved away from the cheongsam, all the previous feelings disappeared and he became sober.

He propped his forehead and walked a few steps forward, only to see a freshly painted picture of red plums spread out on the desk, which has not yet been framed.In the painting, the plum branches are outlined with an ink pen, and a piece of red plum is so brilliant that it almost flies off the drawing paper.It's just that the color of this red plum is strange, it's not a bright red color, but rust red, dull and dull, and the edges are still a little yellow.Shen Jianli stretched out his hand and twirled it, put it in front of his nose to smell it, and he could faintly smell some blood.

"Zhang Xianzong!"

There was a sudden sound from behind, causing Shen Jianli to tremble all over in shock. He subconsciously grabbed the painting and looked back.Yue Qiluo stood there holding on to the door frame, her face was pale and haggard, and her eyes were tired. She clutched her chest and coughed a few times, then walked towards him shaking, grabbed his hand and pulled him out, saying: "Who would You came in, get out!"

"Qiluo, I—"

Yue Qiluo didn't listen to his explanation, and dragged him out of the door staggeringly, unable to let him say anything, she slapped him on the back of the heart and pushed him out of the door.Just as Shen Jianli wanted to turn around and explain, when he turned his face, Yue Qiluo slammed the door shut with a bang, and the words filled his throat.

He stood there for a long time, but he was discouraged, turned around and left with the painting in his hand.After walking a few steps, there was a sound of hurried footsteps, Wu Xin kicked open the door, and rushed in anxiously.Seeing that Shen Jianli was holding a painting in his hand, he hurried over and snatched the paper.After staring at it for a long time, his expression became more and more severe, he raised his head and frowned and asked, "Where is Yue Qiluo?"

"It's in the house." Shen Jianli was puzzled, "What's wrong?"

"This stupid woman!" Wuxin flicked the drawing paper anxiously, pushed Shen Jianli away and rushed into the door.Holding the wrinkled drawing paper in his hand, he stared at Wuxin's back, and froze in place for a moment.

Wuxin kicked open the door of the east wing, and saw Yue Qiluo standing in front of the desk in the back room, looking down at something with his back turned to him.He strode over, grabbed Yue Qiluo's wrist, stared into her eyes and said: "Yue Qiluo, if you continue like this, you will die."

Yue Qiluo's eyes were neither sad nor happy, he broke away from Wuxin and said: "You know everything?"

"Bai Liuli is blind when you cast such a powerful spell?" Wuxin got angry, and her voice became louder and louder, "I told you earlier, Zhang Xianzong's soul is not complete, and you can't continue it with your own strength! Even if you feed him with all your essence and blood, I'm afraid he won't survive for a long time!"

After hearing his words, Yue Qiluo slowly raised the corners of her lips, and said softly: "Wuxin, do you think I am the kind of person who sacrifices my life for righteousness? Since I dare to do it, I must leave a way out for myself, so as not to cause trouble Draining my own body, when did I ever do such a loss-making business?"

"Then you will cast a spell to absorb all of Chongqing's energy to support him alone?"

Yue Qiluo's face turned pale, and he said sharply: "Nonsense words! When am I going to absorb the energy of the whole city?"

"The dense fog in Chongqing today is what you did?" Wu Xin pointed out the window and said, "If I hadn't encountered such an advanced spell in Wen County last time, I'm afraid I wouldn't have recognized it."

After hearing this, Yue Qiluo turned her head and walked to the window.A small crack opened in the wooden window frame at some point, and the thick fog of the city came in through this crack. She gently closed the two windows tightly, and said in a low voice, "Come out."

As soon as the words fell, a figure of a man in white, accompanied by a green light, appeared out of thin air and landed on the ground opposite the desk.Wu Xin took a closer look, was stunned, and said, "...Boss Yu?"

"Master Wuxin, don't come here without any harm." Yu Xiaozhu smiled slightly, and bowed to him with his hands together, "The last time we left Wen County, it has been decades now, and it is yours and mine to see the Master here. fate."

"Didn't your cultivation be exhausted, disappeared?" Wuxin stared at him blankly, "Now...what?"

"Thanks to senior, although I have exhausted my cultivation, I have preserved my soul. Now that I don't have a physical body, I can still live forever."

"That--"

"Wuxin, don't meddle in my business." Yue Qiluo suddenly said, forcing back the words that came to Wuxin's lips.She turned around from the window, staring fixedly at Wuxin, "I will guarantee Zhang Xianzong's life!"

"Things against fate, how can you say it so easily." Wuxin took a step forward, "Even if you killed people in the past, it was just a trivial matter. Things like the fate of the soul are not something you and I can intervene. Yue Qiluo, why do you live more and more confused?"

"Then is it possible to watch him die?"

Wuxin saw that she couldn't move her, so she turned to stare at Yu Xiaozhu who was at the side, and said in a deep voice: "Boss Yu, I respect you for being kind and courageous. You are also a man. Now why are you helping Yue Qiluo change his life against the sky? , watching her die with the whole city!"

As he said that, he wanted to rush over to argue with Yu Xiaozhu, but he was grabbed by the wrist within a few steps. Yue Qiluo walked over from the window and stood in front of him, whispering: "Xiaoqing is The spells he learned from my cave can be regarded as half of my disciples, and I gathered his primordial spirit, so what if he helps me accomplish things? If you want to vent your anger on him, you may not be able to stop me!"

Xiaoqing?Wuxin froze for a moment, and put the distracting thoughts out of his mind again.Staring at Yue Qiluo, he said: "Anyway, I came today to stop your spell. Yue Qiluo, why do you always refuse to accept your fate? Ordinary people are always born, old, sick and dead. You are always so impatient, aren't you afraid that you will end up empty-handed?"

"Accept fate!" Yue Qiluo burst into laughter, with a sad expression, "I, Yue Qiluo, have never known what it is to accept fate. If I had accepted my fate, I'm afraid I wouldn't be standing here today! Wuxin, I've made up my mind, you don't have to Advise again, let's go!"

Before she finished speaking, a muffled cough drowned out the end of the sentence, and she let go of Wu Xin's wrist, bent down, and spat out a mouthful of blood.Immediately, the world was spinning, and he couldn't stand still. He staggered a few steps back to the corner of the table, and brushed all the things on the table to the ground.

"Don't come here!" Yue Qiluo didn't need him to help her, she staggered to her feet, wiped off the blood from her lips, and said again, "I'm only in trouble for a while, and I won't be reduced to being pitied by others. When I recover , I will take Zhang Xianzong out of Chongqing, clean and tidy. I have been looking for him for so many years, and I have exhausted my mind, and I must never watch him die again."

"I'm afraid you won't be able to wait any longer," Wuxin sighed heavily, "Yue Qiluo, the people from Qingyun Temple are here."

"What?" Yue Qiluo's expression turned serious, "Qingyun Temple is thousands of miles away in Wen County, how come here?"

"Don't forget that you are their great uncle, and they have been working hard to eradicate you for hundreds of years. This time, a wandering Taoist priest came to Chongqing and sent news to Qingyun Temple. Do you think they will let you go?"

Yue Qiluo was also silent for a while, it's not that she didn't think that someone would come to provoke trouble, but she didn't expect Qingyun Guan to still refuse to let her go. Over the past 1000 years, they have harmed her miserably, and drove her to a dead end step by step. Now she only wants to live her own life, but she also has to be pestered by a group of bedbugs day and night.

"Xiaoqing, go down first." Yue Qiluo didn't turn her head, as if she was tired.Yu Xiaozhu bowed slightly when he heard the words, then disappeared into the air.

"Hey, Yue Qiluo, why do you call him Xiaoqing?" Wuxin still couldn't hold back, "Isn't his name Yu Xiaozhu?"

"He still has a name?" Yue Qiluo frowned slightly, "I saw that he was originally a green boa constrictor, so I called him Xiaoqing by the way."

"...Why don't you change your name to Bai Suzhen?" Wuxin calmed down, but also laughed.In fact, he was full of anger for no reason, at first he was worried about the safety of his friend, and then he was angry that Yue Qiluo did not spare his life and forced himself to die.In fact, thinking about it carefully, he really didn't have the right to be so angry.

Yue Qiluo had no intention of joking with him, her brows became tighter and tighter, and she said in a low voice: "You just said that the person from Qingyun Temple has arrived in Chongqing?"

The author has something to say: I have been traveling for a few days, so I stopped updating for three days on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, and resumed updating on Monday.I am very sorry, I hope you will bear with me, and I will try to make up for it when I come back.
