After a few more days, I saw that I was in good health, and the puppet master came to talk to me.

"Three things," he pointed his fingers, "first, I received news that the Lord Qiu Huang has already taken action. A few days ago, he went to the Kunlun Xianyun Inn in person, and was picked off by Jiang Xiaoyu with a sword. Now there are rumors in the world, it is the true identity of the evil No.1, Qiu Yu back then."

"He went to Xianyun Inn," I asked, "why?"

"It's been rumored that Jiang Yulang came to provoke him, but he failed in revenge and was humiliated instead, and finally left with resentment."

"What's the truth?"

"The hall wants Jiang Xiaoyu to exchange the Sangshen Jue for Jiang Wuque."

I was taken aback, and the puppet master replied: "That's right, Jiang Wuque is in Miaojiang at the moment, but Jiang Xiaoyu doesn't know about it. Looking at the world, except for you and me and Jiang Wuque himself, I am afraid that no one can expose the palace master." lie."

"So Xiao Yu'er agreed?"

"In front of the Xianyun Inn, in front of Jiang Wuque's wife and children, he couldn't help but refuse."

So the first thing is that if my father wants to make a plan, he will make it a good thing.If it is said that Jiang Xiaoyu and Jiang Yulang teamed up to hunt for treasures, in the eyes of the world, Xiaoyu'er, a hero, is no different from the Lord Qiuhuang. In fact, everyone wants treasures, but some people are out of face, while others are not. Unwilling to be someone else's pawn.

Now that Xiao Yu'er is the vanguard, and the palace master is notorious, my father just used a trick of praying mantis to catch cicadas.In this way, not only can one steal the God of Sangry Art, but not be accused of coveting treasures; at the same time, one can get rid of the remnants of Emperor Qiu's Palace, and even the accomplice Xiao Yu'er, why not do it?

Therefore, before that, Jiang Wuque could not return to the Central Plains, because once he showed up, the situation would be rewritten, and when the time came, he would have to reevaluate who would win.

"So your father's intention," the puppet master conveyed, "is that no matter what method you use, you must stabilize Jiang Wuque so that he cannot return to the Central Plains."

I remained silent, and talked about the second thing to the convenience.

"The sacred object of the Five Immortals..." he said, "You should have already guessed that the corpse poison on your body was detoxified, and your life was saved in the poison cave. Relic."

"Do you know why people in the Five Immortals Sect treat you so leniently?" The puppet master asked again, "Because you still have the last sacred object of the Five Immortals Sect in your body..."

The church has been established for a hundred years, and every leader has to enter the forbidden place to wait for death when they are about to die, but their purpose is not to die peacefully, but to survive.That sacred object is a potion of magic medicine, which may prolong life for those who are destined to take it—note that the word "or may" is used here, that is to say, those people who walked into the forbidden area back then may be able to live, but they did not. A person can really live.

Not long ago, the last person who knew the exact location of the forbidden place was the former leader.At that time, because she was afraid of the poisonous oath and curse, she told me the location of the forbidden place, and I took the holy things of their religion and swallowed them all in one go.

In fact, I also understand that it is not so much a panacea as it is a highly poisonous paste, and it is even possible that the poison of the corpse voodoo is based on it-and the reason why I was able to survive the catastrophe is just to verify once again " "Fight poison with poison" is the ultimate truth.

"Now, only you know the location of the forbidden area, and all the treasures of the Five Immortals Cult are entrusted to you," the puppet master asked, "How do you think the people of the Five Immortals Cult should treat you?"

I smiled wryly, "Naturally, it will be made into specimens and sent to the forbidden area for them to study and study in the future."

The puppet master nodded, "Elder Zuo also gave you a title for this: Saintess of the Five Immortals Sect; or if you want to be the leader of a sect in the future, as long as you don't really hold power, you can also discuss it."

"Does being the leader of the Five Immortals mean that you can't leave Miaojiang for the rest of your life?" I asked.

"Naturally, you are a holy thing in their religion."

"What about the third thing?" I asked again.

"The third thing..." The puppet master smiled, "I have already checked Jiang Wuque for you. His memory of the past eight years may be due to the long history of puppetry, so..."

I held my breath, stared at the shape of the other's lips, and heard him utter two words clearly: "Blank."

The heart fell to the ground at once, which means that Jiang Wuque still can't remember the past, so he doesn't know my identity yet. On the other hand-"His eight years have been in vain." The puppet master seems to be aggrieved for me , "I thought that the puppet still had subconsciousness, but he turned a blind eye, so don't expect anything in return for everything you have done for him over the years."

I kept silent, and if I had to say what I had done for Jiang Wuque in the past eight years, it was nothing more than choosing to wake him up at the last moment.So he has no reason to be grateful to me, and he doesn't have to feel indebted to me. On the contrary, what really embarrasses me at this moment is that from the beginning to the end, Jiang Wuque didn't know that I had feelings for him-in his heart, the memory should stay in Qiuhuang At that time, I was still a half-grown child who didn't know the world. Perhaps in Jiang Wuque's eyes, I would always... be just a child.

Before leaving, the puppet master expressed his views on these three matters.

First, the Saintess of the Five Immortals Sect is a fat shortage. So far, the unexplored Sangshen Art is false and true. If the Saintess is involved, it will definitely get twice the result with half the effort.And if necessary, one of the leaders can be included in the bag, and become a big wing of Feiyan Villa in Miaojiang.

Second, Jiang Wuque is a man of faith. Since he can't remember the twists and turns in the past eight years, he doesn't know that Tie Xinlan is not dead. If he knows that there is someone who commits himself to him in order to protect him, he will feel sorry for him. Like him, how could he leave that person alone in Miaojiang and go away by himself?

Having said that, the puppet master left with a smile on his face. He has already reached a conclusion, so why should I make a choice?

……

Not long after, news came that Jiang Wuque had disappeared.

Until then, I was still planning: how to open my mouth, disregarding the woman's reserve, how to hit him with one blow, so that he will definitely stay in Miaojiang and accompany me day and night.

Before that, the puppet master urged me several times to show my attitude, otherwise Jiang Wuque would be rejected by me all day long, how could he understand what I was thinking?

Or he thought, I didn't want to see him at all, but I couldn't wait to draw a line from him.

So until Yan Xiaosi rushed to tell me that Mr. Jiang had walked out of the Five Immortals Sect alone, and he hadn't returned for a few days—even the puppet master came to question him angrily, and said with a smile that I was finally satisfied , A good living person was scared away by me in the end!

At that time, I thought he finally made a decision whether to go or stay, and he chose to leave, but I was not very disappointed, but subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief.

The pain of losing the most cherished person or thing takes time, and it may take a long time before it slowly emerges.

But the guilt and guilt that have been suppressed in my heart for a long time, every time I face Jiang Wuque, it is only an inch away, and it almost explodes.

I don't know how to lie to him for the rest of his life and make him forget all the bloodshed and humiliation in the past eight years.I also want to bear my heart, and when he looks at the distant mountains and snow in a daze, suppress the impulse to blurt out——Tie Xinlan is not dead!The wife who was on par with him on the Xianyun Inn did not die. He had been guilty for 16 years. Since the beginning of revenge for the Emperor, he dreamed back in the middle of the night the most bone-destroying nightmare.

These, bit by bit, how tormenting people, how to make a forbearing and resolute person unbearable... I saw all of them, but I gained his trust, but I used deception and manipulation in return... Jiang Wuque The choice is good, he should be as far away from me as possible, otherwise, when the truth is exposed one day, I am afraid that I will have the cheek to say to him: I have no choice but to do so from the bottom of my heart...

The Sect of the Five Immortals has experienced changes, and manpower is scarce, but the puppet master and Elder Zuo still mobilized half of the sect's disciples to find someone for me, one mountain after another... I have my own ulterior motives, and in my heart, There has never been a more frustrating moment than this moment.

It turned out that even if I was in the game, for Jiang Wuque, I, the one who set up the game, was still so unworthy of nostalgia.

On the one hand, I really hope that he will go far away and stop having any relationship with me, so that he will not be used by me; on the other hand, I can't let him return to the Central Plains easily, disregarding my father's order, the consequences, But it was my discouragement and discouragement that got worse day by day.

In just a few days, I felt unbearable. When Jiang Wuque was by my side, I avoided seeing him——I was really afraid when I couldn’t see him. If this life comes here, it will be the end of the two of us. ...

Even the heavens were making fun of me. It was cold and rainy in winter, but after the man left, there was a brilliant sunny day.

I climbed up to the high place every day to wait for the news, and saw that this eerie sect in the world was just a mere mortal under the sun, the branches of thousands of trees, the intertwined golden snakes, the revolutionary atmosphere after ordering things out...

As the fifth day drew to a close, I snuffed out my tiny hopes and accepted reality.

But Jiang Wuque stood back in front of me again.

Wearing the most simple and thin black clothes of the Miao people, travel and dusty, without a bag, just as I imagined, alone, come as soon as you say.

Just say go.

He stood in front of the eaves and waved to me.Bearing my unprecedented anger, I calmly explained: I didn't go and come back, but I never chose to leave.

I frowned, the sunset of this day was excellent, under the eaves, the afterglow was soft.

He asked me if I remembered that in those days, the two of us had a lot of fun, sitting next to each other in the cell, talking about everything.

"What does this have to do with your sudden departure?!"

He smiled wryly, self-deprecating and difficult. "It doesn't matter." He said, "I just want to meet Sun Yingyu back then. I still have another half of what I said in the cell at that time, and I haven't finished talking to her."

So in front of the stone steps, the two sat side by side.

He was very direct, and when he spoke, it was 16 years ago.

"16 years ago, I received an invitation from Xiao Yu'er. The brotherhood was deep, and we got together in Anqing. I was restless during the party. When I returned home, I found that Xinlan had fallen off the cliff and Yun'er had been captured." Jiang Wuque's tone of voice at the beginning Calm, just from his expression, I can't see his sadness or joy, and I can't even guess his intention behind his words.

"When I first entered the Hall of Emperor Qiu, I blamed the injustice of the heavens. The source was mine, but the debt was paid to others... I hoped that I could do my best to make Xinlan and Yun'er live in peace, but it was exhausting... "

"For a while," he said, "I missed Luoxue in Xianyunzhan very much. I didn't want to stay in that desolate cell. Even I understood that Jiang Yulang's target was me. If I died , Yun'er can still escape the catastrophe; but if I am alive, Jiang Yulang will have a reason to threaten a child for the rest of his life..."

"This is also the reason why your family opened a medicine shop in Yichang, but they chose to find a doctor in Qiu Huangdian, which disrupted your life. At that time, I was already begging for death. Although it was not obvious, the people who treated me were overwhelmed. , Master Qiuhuang was afraid that I would really die, so he simply killed that medical officer and found the next one."

"A new doctor," Jiang Wuque smiled, "somewhat immature... She is still too young, her life has not yet begun, and she has not experienced any storms, so she will be killed by me. I think it's a pity, but I can't sympathize She, and I at that time, had no energy left to pity anyone, let alone..." He looked at me, "In the eyes of the other party, I am the poor person, and I am the one who should be pitied."

The cool wind blows into the back of the neck, the rays of the sun recede, the sky turns red, and the curtain will end in a blink of an eye.

Jiang Wuque's complexion was a little pale, and his profile was shrouded in the last soft halo. "No matter what your reason is," he said calmly, "I am very grateful to you, thank you for inquiring about Yun'er for me in the past, willing to take risks, and rescued me from prison... Maybe you just treat them as pity, But for a person who has never seen the sun, those mercies are enough to be remembered for a lifetime..."

"It was true that I hated the Emperor's Palace that day, and I haven't seen Risheng and Ruixue for a long time... However, I am not the happiest person who regained freedom, and I am not the most anxious and worried person when I return to the prison cell in the future." I, even to this day, always whisper in my sleep, insisting on not giving up...Sun Yingyu," he put his palms on the back of my knees, "I am not what you think, to everything I don't know...but I don't know, should I treat those companions as companions?"

"Everyone around me, no matter how far or close they are, would be implicated by me, so I never felt that I could bring benefits to anyone in this world—except for one person."

"That person, if she can save her life because of my existence, I am willing to accept the puppet technique. The unfinished words in the prison cell that day were not about not seeing her, but only one wish. May she be safe, healthy and happy. This life is going well, and..."

The setting sun was like blood, and the people beside him slowly smiled, "Also, I won't regret it, I will spend half my life clear to repay her for being with her for several years."

With a peaceful smile, he lowered his head slightly, and there was a light halo dancing on the tip of his nose.

Then he took out something from his arms and handed it to me, "For you."

It is a gold hairpin in the shape of a long phoenix, held by pale fingers, the brilliance of the head of the hairpin slowly emerges from the darkness.

"The collection of the treasure house of the Hades Gate, when Xiao Yuer destroyed its lair, many disciples took the treasure and fled, and some people escaped disaster to Miaojiang..."

That's why, Jiang Wuque disappeared for several days, he went to visit various Miao villages, just for this rumored - Fengluan gold hairpin!

"Fengluan means husband and wife," he said, "Sun Yingyu, would you like me to wear it on your head?"
