Reality and Games of Ancient Swords

Chu Qi had a dream.

A long dream.

A dream related to him, or maybe not.

In that dream, there was him and the master.

The him in the dream is different from him, that he will show a warm smile, but he will not. "High Priest, the Yanjia Furnace mentioned last time, the disciple has finished drawing the blueprint.Could the High Priest take the time to read it? 』He heard that he spoke to the master with a respectful attitude, but there were some emotions in it that he didn't understand.

Shen Ye looked at him, and his voice was never softer than before. "Yanshu journey, you are too much better than being a teacher, you can make your own decisions.If you really want to see, you might as well ask Feng Ya, although he is not easy to get along with, he has good eyesight. 』

As soon as he heard this sentence, there was a hint of hesitation and helplessness in his expression. "This...disciple and him really don't agree with each other..." Obviously, he didn't want to implement Shen Ye's suggestion at all, and the troubled expression on his face was especially obvious.

This is him?No, this is definitely not him, he would not use such a tone and expression to speak to the master.

Who is this guy?

Shen Ye shook his head, and there was a hint of amusement in his cold voice. "how?The head of the hall of life and death can't even hold back his own deputy?When you become a high priest, don't you want to be angry all day long? 』

That he scratched his head, his eyes wandered, but he didn't dare to look at Shen Ye. "Aha, hahaha! !I think Tong is very good, the important task of the high priest should be entrusted to him by the master, right?The disciples help with all their heart. 』That he doesn't seem to have any interest in the post of high priest, and he doesn't want to take on the suggestion made by Shen Ye at all.

A sneer flickered in Shen Ye's eyes, looking at him, the helplessness and tolerance in his eyes were real. "Assist?Heh, I'm afraid it's simply lazy all day long, hiding and playing with your Yanjia. 』

That he raised his head and stared at the ceiling above, he didn't dare to look at Shen Ye, he just smiled dryly. "This, this, hehe, Master's eyes are like torches..."

He called Master Shen Ye.

He is Xie Yi.

Only Xie Yi can call Master Shen Ye.

And he is not Xie Yi.

Shen Ye is just the master to him.

The scene in front of him changed, and he was still in that great hall, but the relationship between him named Xie Yi and Shen Ye in the picture became tense.

Xie Yi's face was serious, his brows were tightly knit. "Master, as descendants of Shennong, we Lie Shanbu, how can we collude with the inner demons and harm the people of the lower realm?" !I also ask Master to take back my life! 』

Shen Ye looked at Xie Yi, frowning even tighter than him, but... since he has decided on something, it is impossible to change it. "Why am I willing to be controlled by others.However, the divine blood can only last for a hundred years at most, and the five-color stone is about to burn out.Tell me, apart from being infected with demonic energy and moving the whole family to the lower realms, what else can I do to save my Lieshan tribe? 』

Xie Yi was at a loss for words, because he didn't know what to do. "... disciple... disciple does not know..." Even so, Xie Yi still did not agree with Shen Ye's decision.There must be other ways to save Liuyue City in this world, Xie Yi will perish if he doesn't believe in Heaven. "However, the disciples already know how to break through the boundary, as long as we look for a place with rare turbidity, we can..."

Before he finished speaking, Shen Ye interrupted Xie Yi's words, his voice condensed. "I have already sent people to various caves, but the times are different. In today's world, even the caves are full of turbid air.What if we can't find our place after all?Do you want me to gamble with the lives of the whole family? 』Of course he knows what Xie Yi is thinking, if there is really a way to save Liuyue City and Lie Shanbu, he will not choose to cooperate with the demon.

Time waits for them.

Gritting his teeth, Xie Yi was still unwilling to agree with Shen Ye's actions. "...But, Master!To mutilate the common people in the lower world, and turn the entire Lieshan tribe into half-human, half-demon monsters... Is it really worth it? ! 』

Looking at his disciple, Shen Ye looked at him with such a serious expression for the first time. "Xie Yi, I want you to understand one thing as a teacher.Regardless of dignity, justice, faith or persistence, they are only meaningful if they can survive. 』Life is almost gone, the so-called justice, the so-called kindness, can you keep the whole family if you persist?

Xie Yi shook his head, he took a step back, his eyes were clear and determined. "...Master, please forgive me for not agreeing.The disciples thought that even the most precise armor can be rebuilt after being destroyed; while life, even insects and ants, can only live once—it cannot be copied, and it will never be repeated. 』

...unreproducible...never again...?

So what is he?And Xie Yi, what is it?

This is the former Xie Yi, and also the past self that Chu Qi couldn't understand.

"Master, how can we exchange other people's suffering and life for a glimmer of hope? ! 』

Xie Yi, emphasizing affection and sincerity, is true to the creatures in the world, and even more so to the people of the Liuyue tribe.

It was also because of this that he was unwilling to agree with Shen Ye's practice of mutilating the people of the lower realms and turning the people of the Lieshan tribe into half-human, half-demon monsters.

Chu Qi sat in the dark, quietly, with calm eyes.Chu Qi has always been in the darkness, and he has also become a part of the darkness. Even if he is really in the darkness, he does not feel a little bit lonely and painful.

Perhaps, he should have been with the darkness.

Chu Qi still remembered Shen Ye asking him that.

"Over the years, you have almost never left Floating Moon City.This seat asks you, in your opinion, which place do you want to stay in, the lower realm and Liuyue City? 』

Chu Qi still remembers how he answered that at the time.

"The subordinates only want to follow the master.Where the master is, there are the subordinates. 』

These words are an oath, his unchanging loyalty, that's how he has come all these years.

Many memories appeared in his mind, pouring into his brain like a tide.

"Look, even if the damaged things are repaired and remade, every time I see them, I still can't help but stare at those cracks and defects... Don't you think so?" 』

"This world is actually very fair.Where there is gain, there is bound to be loss.For any thing, there will be a corresponding price... right? 』

Chu Qi still remembered that he would always only answer those four words.

Yes Master.

Hehe, yes, the master...just the master, not the master, not others...just the master.

Closing his eyes, Chu Qi felt very tired, not physically, but more from the heart.

"Are you going to die?" A voice appeared out of nowhere, it was male and female, and it was not clear, but it made Chu Qi understand that he was not the only one in this place.

"Who?" Chu Qi frowned. He was always alert and immediately looked around, but there was nothing but darkness around him.

"Are you not going to live?" The voice didn't answer his question, but said to itself.

"Live?" A trace of confusion flashed in Chu Qi's eyes. "No, I'm dead, killed." He still remembered how he died.Killed by the knife that he carried with him all the time.

The young girl named Ji Yan pierced his chest with his knife and pierced his palm.He stabbed in hard and stabbed hard, without any muddle in the water, and even the expression on his face when he killed him was chillingly indifferent.

Before that, Chu Qi had only heard about Ji Yan from Shen Ye.

Before he was killed, he saw Ji Yan for the first time.

He is indeed not an easy person.

No wonder, Shen Ye would give her such a high evaluation.

She is indeed qualified for Shen Ye to give such a high evaluation.

"Dead? Do you really think you are dead?" There was no ups and downs in the voice, and the emotion was unbelievably stable. "If you're dead, why are you still here?"

Chu Qi was startled.

The voice continued: "Shen Ye is really cruel to you. He treats you like that, even if you are killed, he doesn't even look at you. There is really no blood and no tears."

Chuqi: "..."

"Are you Xie Yi, or Chu Qi?"

Chu Qi said coldly: "Xie Yi is dead."

"No, he's not dead, he's you."

Chu Qi sneered and said: "Things that have been broken can never be restored to the original... There is nothing that will not be changed by time... Time has really passed too long." This is what Xie Yi once said, even if He is now the seventh day of the junior high school, and some things still haven't changed.

"Time? In terms of the length of time, you are not qualified to compare with me. Yours is only a hundred years, but mine is thousands of years. After these long thousands of years, I am still me and have never changed. And you , Xie Yi, and Chu Qi have not changed, no matter who you are, you are yourself after all."

Chu Qi said: "Why do you use such a tone to explain your understanding of me?"

"Outsiders can't understand... During these 100 years, you only watched one person and listened to one person's voice. His happiness and anger are your happiness and anger, and his wishes are your wishes. No matter what happens, you I will never betray him a second time." After speaking, a sound called sneer suddenly came out from the other party's throat. "Oh, do you want to tell me this? I'm sorry, you, Shen Ye, I know many things about you. But, I just know, but I don't really want to understand." Everyone laughed The words are read extremely smoothly, and the indifference is so chilling.

"Do you want to live?" The voice asked without waiting for Chu Qi to say anything.

Want to live?Of course I want to live.

Some live, why can't they live?

"Naturally want to live," he said, his tone firm.

"Heh... Chu Qi, Xie Yi, you are really an interesting person..." the voice said, with a tone of sneer at him again.

"Pull me." Immediately afterwards, the voice seemed to be close at hand, and the voice that Chu Qi once thought was male and female suddenly became obvious.

A woman's voice.

Turning back suddenly, Chu Qi vaguely saw the outline of the other party's face and a smile on his lips in the darkness.

"If you want to live, just take my hand and follow me."

It was a very clean hand with well-defined joints, which made people feel good.

Without hesitation, Chu Qi held that extremely white and slender hand with a thin callus on the palm.

"Let's go," she said.

One after the other, they walked for a long time, until the seventh day of the seventh day, they gradually couldn't walk anymore.

"How far is it?" Chu Qi asked panting.

"How far?" She didn't look back, but said indifferently: "That depends on whether you are determined to leave here and really live on." While speaking, her figure kept receding into the depths of the darkness. The hand held by Chu Qi also disappeared like air.

Chu Qi was startled.

"If you don't leave, you will really die."

Looking down, Chu Qi found that his body was being swallowed by darkness, completely.

He could no longer see the lower part of his body, including his hand that was holding the woman's hand just now.

"Leave quickly." Her voice sounded again, distant and ethereal.

"I will leave here and live." He said, and ran wildly. In the darkness, he exhausted all his strength, but he still had no head.

"Huh? It seems that your determination is not enough." At that moment, her voice seemed to be close to her ears, and her breathing was like a rope tightly wrapped around Chu Qi, and she couldn't shake it off.

Chu Qi stared forward and said word by word: "I want to live."

He read the five words more than once.

Then, the open space under Chu Qi's feet suddenly disappeared, and he began to fall aimlessly.

There is the sound of wind around, and the hula-la blowing on the body is a bit cold.

There is nothing here, only endless darkness, Chu Qi only felt that his limbs were so cold that they were numb.

He fell faster and faster, and just when he thought this was his end, he suddenly woke up.

Chu Qi opened his eyes wide, staring at the curtain in front of him, his eyes slowly focusing.

He, is he not dead?

"Look, as I said, he will definitely not die."
