At the foot of Qingyun Mountain, the ruins of Caomiao Village
The sun rises and sets, day and night change, but Lu Xueqi has no memory of how many days she has been here. Over the past ten years, she has been full of lovesickness and deep-rooted affection. It seems that she has suddenly lost control completely. She cannot and does not want to endure it anymore. Now, every day and every night, she will be by that man's side and stay with him. If there is a future, then it will be forever.
"Gui Li, no, it should be Zhang Xiaofan, at least in Lu Xueqi's eyes, he has never changed. Now the haggard and sad man is held gently in his arms, still looking motionless and confused.
Over the past few days, Lu Xueqi has also thought of various ways to awaken Zhang Xiaofan from the nightmare of inner demons, but they all failed without exception. In the end, Lu Xueqi also gave up her efforts temporarily. Perhaps, only she, Only then can we truly understand the hurt Gui Li feels in his heart at this moment.
So she no longer tried to wake him up, but just stayed with him quietly, holding him in her arms, sitting quietly in the grass-covered ruins of Caomiao Village, watching the sunrise in the morning, watching As the sun sets, watch the bright moon rising into the sky, watch the wind blowing through the starry wilderness, carrying the fragrance of green grass everywhere, gently blowing on their faces.
Somehow, there was even a sense of guilt in her heart, but Lu Xueqi really felt a kind of happiness from her heart to be with the person she loved. However, she endured this simple thing for ten years and took on the responsibility. She was under heavy pressure like a mountain. At this moment, she finally broke free completely and threw away all the shackles, just for him.
The breeze brings a refreshing feeling
Another night has come
The two people leaned against the broken wall and sat quietly. The wild grass next to them moved twice, as if there was something foreign, but Lu Xueqi didn't take a second look. Sure enough, a moment later, Xiao Hui's figure emerged from the grass. He jumped out, jumped up to the broken wall where Lu Xueqi and Zhang Xiaofan were leaning, and sat down.
The cloth bands that Xiao Bai had originally bandaged for him were gone, and most of the exposed wounds were healed. It seemed that they were torn off by Xiao Hui himself. At this moment, the monkey was seen sitting on the broken wall, spreading his hands, and another A large pile of wild fruits scattered casually, and a lot of them fell down, and most of them hit Lu Xueqi and Zhang Xiaofan.
Zhang Xiaofan was stunned and didn't react. Lu Xueqi was also hit a few times on the head. Although it didn't hurt, it was not very nice. It was very inconsistent with her usually cold temperament. Lu Xueqi looked at the wild fruits that fell to the ground and raised her head to The monkey on the broken wall took a look. Xiao Hui immediately jumped up and took a few steps back. His eyes were full of vigilance, but he still held several wild fruits in his hands and chewed them in his mouth.
I don¡¯t know if it¡¯s because the monkey and Lu Xueqi don¡¯t get along well, but in Xiao Hui¡¯s eyes, it seems that Zhang Xiaofan being hugged by this woman in white seems to be very distasteful to him. However, it has seen Lu Xueqi¡¯s behavior before, even though he made provocations. movements, but still quite a bit apprehensive
While Xiao Hui was staring at Lu Xueqi with three eyes, the woman in white, who had always been aloof from the world, suddenly smiled at her. This smile was like the warmth of spring flowers and the warm spring breeze. There was no trace of her coldness in the past. human appearance
Lu Xueqi actually didn't get angry. Instead, she seemed to be in a good mood. She smiled at Xiao Hui, picked up a wild fruit from the ground, and said softly: "You picked it back, thank you."
Xiao Hui was obviously momentarily stunned by Lu Xueqi's strange reaction. After a while, his three eyes rolled around for a long time, he grinned, laughed dryly, and sat back on the broken wall, eating wild fruits by himself. went
Lu Xueqi smiled at the monkey and looked back. For her, how could that cold look come naturally to her?
Her eyes fell on Zhang Xiaofan¡¯s face and she whispered: ¡°Xiaofan, eat something¡±
Zhang Xiaofan's eyes were looking at nowhere, but he was blank and did not speak, nor did he nod or shake his head. Lu Xueqi seemed to have known that he would react this way, and was not bothered. She smiled softly to herself. He lowered his head and stretched out his white and slender fingers to carefully peel off the skin of wild fruits. Zhang Xiaofan had been doing this for the past few days. Xiao Hui would often come back to find some wild fruits. Lu Xueqi peeled off the skin like this and put it in his mouth. Then Zhang Xiaofan would occasionally eat one or two pieces as if he had a mechanical reaction.
But, what does this matter? Lu Xueqi thought lightly in her heart that she had been waiting for him for ten years. As long as she could be with him, she wouldn't care no matter how long it took.
She lowered her head and peeled it carefully, and suddenly she caught sight of something from the corner of her eye. She was startled for a moment, and slowly put down the wild fruit in her hand. Zhang Xiaofan sat there dumbly and did not respond, but these days, his hand has been holding this fruit tightly. Lu Xueqi originally noticed this, but didn't care. But when she looked around, she suddenly saw that Zhang Xiaofan's palm seemed to beThere is something, a corner is exposed
She frowned slightly, put down the wild fruit in her hand, took Zhang Xiaofan's arm, and reached out to spread his fingers to see clearly what was in his palm. Unexpectedly, although Zhang Xiaofan still had a blank expression, The palm of his hand was held so tightly that Lu Xueqi couldn't break it open. She could only raise her hand slightly and barely looked in. However, she saw that even under such circumstances, Zhang Xiaofan was still holding on to his hand. It turned out to be a piece of water. Green broken clothes
Lu Xueqi looked at the small piece of rag silently, and slowly put down Zhang Xiaofan's hand. A hint of sadness appeared on her face, but then she took a deep breath, and when she turned to Zhang Xiaofan, her eyes were filled with tenderness
Gently, Lu Xueqi stretched out her hand and held Zhang Xiaofan in her arms. The breeze blew by, and her hair on the temples fluttered gently, and a few strands fell on Zhang Xiaofan's face.
"Xiaofan, it will be fine, everything will be fine" She smiled, and although there were faint tears in her eyes, her voice was still gentle and low.
"A long time ago, when I was a child, I remember my mother holding me and watching the stars at night like this." Lu Xueqi slowly raised her head and looked at the night sky. The sky there was like ink, and the stars were twinkling in the night sky. Shining brightly, "She told me that although everyone must die, good people will turn into stars after death and live well in the sky. Every night, they will look at us from the sky."
"She is a good person, isn't she? Then maybe she is watching you in the sky, Xiaofan No matter what, she would not want you to become like this, what do you think"
Zhang Xiaofan was lying in Lu Xueqi's arms, his stiff body seemed to tremble a little
Lu Xueqi smiled softly, and two lines of tears fell silently. Under the starlight, her beautiful face seemed to have a strange sadness in the tears, but her hands were hugging her tightly. man
Hug him tightly
As long as this is the case
"Nonsense"
Suddenly, a scolding sound came from the side, with the boss's impatience and faint anger in the voice. Lu Xueqi was startled, and looked to the side, only to see a plump and beautiful woman standing aside. With charming eyebrows, it was Xiao Bai. Xiao Hui behind Lu Xueqi screamed for joy and jumped down from the broken wall. He rushed to Xiao Bai and climbed up, sitting on her shoulder, grinning. He was smiling, obviously he was very fond of Xiaobai, he was incomparable to Lu Xueqi.
But at this moment, Lu Xueqi naturally didn't care about the monkey. She frowned, a little confused, and said in shock to Xiaobai who suddenly appeared: "What?"
The little girl's face turned pale, and she seemed to be very angry, but upon closer inspection, her expression was quite complicated. There was a hint of heartache under her anger. She just heard her say coldly: "When a person dies, he dies. At most He turned into a ghost soul and entered the underworld and entered reincarnation. There is no such thing as turning into a star."
These words were said to her face, but they were really unpleasant to hear. Even though Lu Xueqi had been grateful to Xiaobai for telling her the whole story and that Gui Li was in the ruins, she couldn't help but her face darkened. But before Lu Xueqi could say anything, Xiaobai had already He walked straight forward, but did not look at Lu Xueqi. He only stared at Zhang Xiaofan and said coldly:
"How long do you want to continue like this? Do you want to live like a living dead for the rest of your life?"
Xiaobai asked with a fearful tone. Lu Xueqi's face moved, showing a bit of unbearable expression. She opened her mouth to speak, but she held back. However, her hands seemed to be distressed, and she hugged Zhang Xiaofan a little tighter.
Zhang Xiaofan was scolded by Xiaobai, and the muscles on his face twitched, but then he closed his eyes again and returned to his autistic look. Xiaobai looked at him and seemed to be very angry, so he went up to grab him. Lu Xueqi grabbed Zhang Xiaofan's collar and picked him up. Lu Xueqi screamed: "Don't, don't do this, he, he can't stand it"
Xiaobai sneered and said: "I want to scold him to wake him up. No, I don't just want to scold him, I also want to wake him up." Before the speaker could wait for Lu Xueqi to react, Xiaobai suddenly raised his palm, and it was obvious that he was Lu Xueqi slapped Zhang Xiaofan hard and hard twice in the face.
"Papa"
The slap was crisp and loud. Zhang Xiaofan's face suddenly swollen under the two red palm prints, and bright red blood flowed from the corner of his mouth. He was hit and fell backwards. Lu Xueqi was shocked. She couldn't care so much, and hurriedly grabbed She went up, pushed Xiao Bai away, hugged Zhang Xiaofan, and wiped the palm prints on the two injured cheeks with her sleeves regardless of the blood. Lu Xueqi was heartbroken, opened her eyes and stared at Xiao Bai, and said angrily: " Are you crazy?"
Xiaobai seemed to turn a deaf ear to Lu Xueqi¡¯s words. He just stared at Zhang Xiaofan, whose body was trembling slightly, and said coldly: "What do you mean by this?"Well, are you just pretending to be a fool all day long, or are you inexplicably thinking of some way to mourn Baguio? Let me tell you, stop being an idiot, it¡¯s useless. Baguio is dead, she is dead.¡±
"Roar"
Suddenly, a desperate roar burst out from Lu Xueqi's arms. Zhang Xiaofan suddenly pushed her away and rushed towards Xiaobai like a furious and injured beast. Unexpectedly, Xiaobai stood there and did not dodge at all, waiting for Gui Li to roar in anger. Rushing closer, she stepped forward instead of retreating, and slapped him again.
"Snapped"
The loud sound suddenly echoed in the ruins of Caomiao Village. Zhang Xiaofan was knocked to the side, a mouthful of blood spurted out from his mouth, and the clothes on his chest were dyed red, and Xiaobai's face seemed to be touched. There was a trace of pain, but she gritted her teeth and her expression became stern. She took a few steps and rushed to Gui Li, who was weakly breathing on the ground. She grabbed his collar and shouted angrily:
"Wake up, even if you keep doing this until death, Baguio will not survive. Do you think that you can show your regretful mood in this way? Do you want to torture yourself in this way to make yourself feel better? ?I tell you, it¡¯s useless.¡±
Zhang Xiaofan closed his eyes tightly, his body was shaking violently, panting wildly, and even his lips seemed to have lost their color.
The crystal tears slipped quietly, but this time, they came from Xiaobai's eyes. She bit her lips tightly, and two lines of tears also flowed down her cheeks, and they kept flowing, and her voice was choked with sobs:
"Why do you think Baguio went out of his way to save you? Was it to see you live your life like this? Baguio's death has nothing to do with you. If you continue like this, Baguio's spirit in heaven will not rest in peace. Yes, do you understand or not?"
Xiaobai grabbed him and slowly knelt down beside him. As if using his last strength, he hoarsely said to him word by word:
¡°Live and live well, this is what Baguio wants to see¡±
After saying that, as if she couldn't bear it anymore, she stood up suddenly, turned around, and strode away from this place. Lu Xueqi had been standing silently beside her since just now. When Xiaobai strode past her, Lu Xueqi suddenly Said softly "thank you"
There were still tears on Xiaobai's face. He paused and looked at Lu Xueqi. The two beautiful women reflected each other in the moonlight. After a moment, they gently stretched out their palms and shook hands.
Behind the tears, Xiaobai's face showed a faint smile. He nodded to Lu Xueqi but said nothing again and strode away.
After her figure disappeared into the darkness, Lu Xueqi slowly walked to Zhang Xiaofan, squatted down, and slowly held him in her arms. Zhang Xiaofan's body trembled, and he slowly raised his head and looked at Lu Xue Qi
His eyes suddenly seemed to have returned to the past, with the deep pain and endless scars in it. He was like a child, with trembling lips and tears filling his eyes.
"Baguiois gone"
He faced Lu Xueqi tremblingly, tears finally bursting out of his eyes, like a wounded child finally crying. Decades of sadness could no longer be endured. He grabbed Lu Xueqi's shoulders, held her in his arms, and shouted loudly Crying, choking with sobs.
"Baguio is goneBaguio is goneBaguiois gone"
Lu Xueqi had never thought that this strong man would be so fragile in front of her. However, at this moment, she felt more than tenderness in her heart. She hugged him tightly, desperately trying to comfort the crying man with every ounce of warmth in her body. In her heart, behind the hot tears, she kept saying softly, to that man and to herself.
"It will be fine, everything will be fine"
This night seems to be particularly long and sad
After that night, Zhang Xiaofan woke up from the nightmare of inner demons, but not long after, he developed a high fever again
With his behavior at the moment, it would be impossible for him to be sick in ordinary times, but this current fever made his whole body hot and unconscious. Lu Xueqi knew in her heart that his serious illness was actually a drama in her heart. Pain caused by Baguio's death was the trigger, but most likely the mental barrier that Zhang Xiaofan had struggled to support for the past ten years was the root cause of a serious illness, but no one can cure it.
Sure enough, no matter how hard Lu Xueqi tried, all kinds of elixirs and magical medicines were given to Zhang Xiaofan, but they were all useless, and the fever was so severe that it was unimaginable that the fever did not subside for ten days. If ordinary people were like this, they would have died a long time ago. And now even Zhang Xiaofan is already haggard. No matter how haggard he feels, he looks a bit skinny and bones.
Lu Xueqi was extremely anxious and guarded Zhang Xiaofan day and night for ten days., she also looked noticeably thinner. Perhaps after seeing her infatuation, God finally opened his eyes and showed mercy. On the eleventh day, when Lu Xueqi was about to despair, Zhang Xiaofan's high fever finally subsided.
Although the fever had subsided, Zhang Xiaofan was still unconscious. Despite this, Lu Xueqi still breathed a sigh of relief. Her mood relaxed slightly from the tension, and a wave of fatigue suddenly surged into her heart from every corner of her body. She He forced himself to tidy up Gui Li's clothes, then leaned next to Gui Li and fell into a deep sleep.
There was a faint and reassuring smile on her beautiful face. Even when she fell asleep, her hand was holding Gui Li's shoulder. The breeze blew through the ruins of Caomiao Village. The green grass fluttered around their bodies. The world was silent. Only this corner that has been forgotten by the world seems to have a strange kind of peace and happiness.
She didn¡¯t know how long she slept this time. The stars were passing by and her eyes were filled with the fragrance of flowers. It was vaguely in a dream that she saw everything she had ever dreamed of.
Being with the one you love for the rest of your life
Then, she woke up
With a reassuring and happy smile on her lips, she gently opened her eyes. The body next to her was indeed still there. He was sleeping peacefully, and his breath was beside her.
Lu Xueqi did not move, as if this was her favorite look. She leaned against him quietly, listening to his sleeping breathing.
Suddenly, at this moment, in the direction of Qingyun Mountain in the distance, there was a sudden violent explosion in the sky, and then a huge firework burst out. Lu Xueqi's face changed slightly, she frowned, and she slowly sat up and turned around to look.
The fireworks slowly changed into the shape of a long sword in the sky and lingered for a long time. It was a signal that was rarely used in the Qingyun Sect. It would only be used when all the nearby disciples were summoned to summon Lu Xueqi Silently when a major change occurred in the sect and the situation was extremely critical. For a moment, his eyes returned to Zhang Xiaofan for a moment, and he stood up slowly. After hesitating for a while, he finally reached out and took the Tianya that was leaning on the broken wall, and floated away.
The wind is still blowing the same way, and the grass is blowing back and forth the same way.
Zhang Xiaofan was sleeping peacefully in the grass. Suddenly, a head popped out from the depths of the grass beside him. It was a gray-haired monkey with three eyes. He turned his head and looked around, and called out "Zhizhi" twice. , seemed a little surprised that Lu Xueqi was suddenly missing here, and then jumped onto Zhang Xiaofan's chest, touched his head, and sat down
Zhang Xiaofan was still sleeping peacefully, but the fingers on his right hand trembled slightly.
After about half a cup of tea, there was a soft sound from the entrance to the ruins of Caomiao Village, and then the white figure of the housekeeper Lu Xueqi appeared there, walking towards the place where Zhang Xiaofan was sleeping, and the little Hui Chong who was sitting on Zhang Xiaofan's chest. Lu Xueqi made a face, jumped down, squatted aside and looked around
"Xiao Fan something happened." Her voice sounded so hollow, as if she had no strength at all, and she said faintly: "Just now I saw the emergency signal from our sect to summon disciples, so I went over to take a look. It turns out we are here. During these days here, something big has happened outside. In the Ghost King Sect you used to be in, that sect leader, the Ghost King, had acquired some evil magic weapon. He could steal people's will and use it for his own purposes. The scary thing is that it is said that he is hiding in a huge area. In the blood glow of the red shadow, wherever the red shadow goes, whether they are ordinary people or cultivators, they will turn into living dead without any will and be driven by him."
Lu Xueqi's face was pale, and she held Tianya tightly in her hands, but her eyes when looking at Zhang Xiaofan were still full of tenderness and regret: "The righteous sects have launched several sieges against him before, but The whole army was wiped out, and the vitality of all the factions was seriously injured. The most terrifying thing is that most of the people were stolen by his red light and became the slaves and thugs of the Ghost King. In turn, they killed the decent people, and now the world's right path has been defeated, and that The Ghost King has recently approached the foot of Qingyun Mountain and displayed his demonic skills. He has confused all the people in the towns and villages within a hundred miles of Qingyun Mountain, including Heyang City. Including those who came before, the total number is probably no less than one hundred thousand. If there are too many, we are about to attack Qingyun Mountain."
She looked at Zhang Xiaofan¡¯s face in a daze, and suddenly, two lines of tears fell from her eyes. The tears fell and fell on the back of Zhang Xiaofan¡¯s palm.
"I wanted to risk everything, and wanted to stay with you for the rest of my life. Even if I was cast aside by the world and punished by my master, I didn't care. But now, but now" Her lips trembled slightly, and she slowly lowered her head. He went to the head, "But now it is Qingyun who is in trouble. It was Qingyunmen who raised me since I was a child. It was the city government that loved me and taught me, and was so kind to me. If it was just for us to be together, I would be willing to be scolded and scorned by them, but now When they are in trouble, II can only go back and be with them."
Lu Xueqi looked deeply at Zhang Xiaofan's face, not looking away for a moment, as if she was unwilling to give up even at a glance. The breeze blew, and the skirt of her clothes fluttered gently."Perhaps you still don't know that Qingyun Sect is secretly in civil strife, and the once invincible 'Zhuxian Sword Formation' has been unable to be activated. This battle is just I'm afraid it's really a disaster, and I don't know if I can come back to see you again. you"
Lu Xueqi took a deep breath and reached out to wipe away the tears on her face. Then, a slightly bitter smile appeared at the corner of her mouth. She looked at Zhang Xiaofan and whispered: "Xiaofan, I don't know if it's God's will or not. We always don't have it." We are destined to be together forever." She paused, and after a moment, she said quietly in a low and firm voice, "But I have never regretted it."
After saying that, she leaned down and kissed Zhang Xiaofan gently on the lips. The warm feeling on her lips seemed to spread throughout her body.
A faint, happy feeling
She smiled, bit her lip, stood up, took one last look at the sleeping man, turned around and walked away, but she walked so knowingly, her body often seemed to turn back to take another look, but after all, She didn't look back
Perhaps, even she knows that if she looks back, she will never have the courage to leave
White clothes fluttering, she finally left
With the wind blowing and carrying a refreshing fragrance, Xiao Hui quietly walked over, climbed up on Zhang Xiaofan's chest and sat there, silently looking at the retreating white figure. Beneath it, Zhang Xiaofan's fingers moved lightly again. one time
The breeze has been blowing, time has passed quietly, and Caomiao Village has fallen into a long silence again. The day has passed, the night has come, and the stars have fallen, showing the vicissitudes of the human world.
Xiao Hui sat on Zhang Xiaofan's chest, looking a little sleepy. He opened his mouth and yawned, and made a few "squeak, squeak, squeak, squeak, squeak, squeak, squeak, squeak, squeak, squeak, squeak, squeak, squeak, squeak, squeak, squeak, squeak, squeak, " Zhang Xiaofan looked down
A low gasp came, and then Zhang Xiaofan slowly opened his eyes.
The first thing that caught his eye was an endless sky. The deep darkness was dotted with countless shining stars. He didn't move, he just lay quietly, staring at the sky.
Xiao Hui seemed to be a little confused next to him. He scratched his head and crawled over to take a look, but then he shrank back. The night breeze blew and the grass floated in the deep darkness. It had been like this for thousands of years, and human life was consistent with it. Compare, like a firefly compared to the sun and the moon, it is just a fleeting moment
Perhaps it was because the ancients understood this that they pursued immortality tirelessly
But, what if it is an empty shell, even if it lives forever?
His expression was very calm, calm as he had never been before, no longer sad or excited, he just looked up at the sky silently
The sky is infinite, the stars are moving, the sky and the earth are silent, only the sound of wind is blowing quietly
Before you know it, it¡¯s getting bright
But when the morning light fell and the last darkness disappeared, Zhang Xiaofan closed his eyes and lay quietly like this for a long, long time. It was not until the sun rose and the warm sunshine shone on him that he opened his eyes again. Opening his eyes, this time, he stood up
Standing where he was, he looked around. The ruins hidden in the weeds were desolate but kind. There were many places that had been deeply engraved in his heart many years ago and would never be erased. And how many places were When I was a child, I used to run and play, leaving a place of pure happiness.
He strolled away, stepping on the green grass. Little Hui jumped up next to him silently, grabbed his skirt three times and climbed up to his shoulders and sat down.
"Woo"
The wind blowing from behind seemed to be stronger, making a whistling sound. The green grass around him undulated with the wind, and the ruins were like waves. They looked like silent but gentle people, staring at him. He walked to the north of the village, where there were still There is a ruin, which is extremely dilapidated. From a distance, the outline still vaguely resembles the appearance of a small, dilapidated temple.
This time, Gui Li stood for a longer time. He stared deeply at the ruins of the small temple. After a long time, a faint and friendly smile appeared on his lips. The smile was gentle and never appeared again. Every trace of resentment and regret
Then, he turned around and walked away, never looking back again
"Let's go, Xiao Hui"
"Zhizhizhizhi" Xiao Hui called softly on his shoulder and touched his head.
He smiled faintly, facing the breeze blowing in front of him, and said with a smile: "Let's go where we should go."
He moved his eyes and looked into the distance. The towering Qingyun Mountain pierced the sky.
On the Tongtian Peak of Qingyun Mountain, there was a busy scene everywhere, but the area near the back mountain seemed even more secluded, with not even a single person in sight. I guess it was because powerful enemies were pressing on the territory, and Daoxuan Zhenren, the center of the group, disappeared for no reason, so there was no one there.??will notice this
In the afternoon, when the sun shines on the quiet woods in the back mountain, Gui Li is already walking on the quiet mountain forest road and reaches the back mountain of Tongtian Peak. This is not the first time he has come here. Counting, he has been here several times. He is familiar with the nearby area. The terrain was already familiar, but looking at his expression, there was no trace of caution or anxiety. He still had the calm smile on his face that he had had since he woke up, and he was walking slowly.
The mountain road is rugged, with ancient trees on both sides. From deep in the forest, there are sounds of birdsong from time to time. Gui Li's eyes turn from the forest to the ground and then to the front. The winding and stretching ancient road, I don't know how many past events have happened on it.
The mountains and forests are quiet, the wind is blowing, and it seems that there is no trace of the tackiness of the world.
The familiar three-way intersection in his memory slowly appeared in front of his eyes. Zhang Xiaofan stopped at the intersection and looked to the right unexpectedly. Behind the layers of dense forest, there was a faint trace of light in the gaps between the dense branches and leaves. He smiled slightly at the corner of the majestic ancestral hall, turned around and stepped onto the path.
The intersection was not far from the ancestor's ancestral hall, and the solemn hall soon appeared. However, Zhang Xiaofan did not walk to the open space. He just stood quietly behind a large tree with lush leaves beside the mountain road, facing in that direction. Looking away
The hall was still so dark, and the stone steps and open space in front of the door were still as they had been on countless past days. Dead leaves had fallen all over the ground. After a while, a white figure walked out of the hall, with a handsome face. Bufan, with a peaceful smile on his face, no sharp sword in his hand, but a broom made of bamboo.
He glanced at the fallen leaves all over the ground, with a slight smile on his face. He raised his hands and stretched, took a deep breath of the slightly sweet air in the mountains and forests, and then began to quietly sweep the fallen leaves on the ground.
The broom was flying, and the fallen leaves were swept aside little by little. Some of them were blown up by the wind like a disobedient child. They stubbornly wanted to go back to their original place, but he swept them back again with a smile.
The wind blows through the mountains and forests, and the forest waves burst into waves
In the distance, behind the big tree, Zhang Xiaofan looked at the familiar white figure quietly, showing a knowing and quiet smile.
On the clearing, Lin Jingyu seemed to suddenly feel something. He paused on his hands and turned to look at the mountain road leading to the outside world. However, the mountain road was empty. Apart from ancient trees and shrubs, were there any traces of other people?
He was startled for a moment, then shook his head slightly and laughed. Maybe he heard it wrong. Thinking like this, he picked up the broom and swept it again.
Behind the dense forest in the distance, Zhang Xiaofan walked slowly, getting farther and farther away from the ancestral hall behind him. Soon, he came to the three-way intersection again. This time, he looked in the direction of Huanyue Cave, and there was no Without any hesitation, he crossed the forbidden area and walked slowly
He felt very clearly that deep in the Huanyue Cave, there seemed to be a mysterious force constantly calling him, asking him to go to that place.
This feeling was already extremely strong when he was still in the ruins of Caomiao Village
Standing in front of Huanyue Cave, Zhang Xiaofan stopped and stared at the mysterious place in front of him.
The appearance of this cave is no different from other ordinary mountain caves in the world. The rough stones and hard ground are slightly different. The only difference is that the ground in front of the cave has been trampled over the years. It's smooth, showing the past weather here
From that small stone gate, a generation of Qingyun Sect's genius Qingye Taoist once walked out. Countless figures who were all-powerful in the past years left their footprints here. This Huanyue Cave Mansion is actually the Qingyun Sect. Witnesses of rise, fall and disgrace over two thousand years
But now, what is in front of Zhang Xiaofan is just an ordinary stone cave.
He smiled and walked in, as if he were home, without any hesitation or hesitation.
The sunlight outside the cave was blocked by the stone wall and could not shine inside the cave. The cave looked very shady and cool, and the simple scene was just like when he first came here. Even the Tai Chi pattern hanging on the wall was still there. Exactly the same as before
Zhang Xiaofan walked over, put his hand on the Tai Chi diagram, and a faint clear light shone. It was the true Xuan Gong method of Qingyun Sect. In the clear light, the Tai Chi diagram slowly reacted and lit up. After a moment, just as he expected, the mountain wall next to him slowly moved away, revealing the strange white mist door that rotated like water waves.
Zhang Xiaofan stared at the seemingly unfathomable rotating water waves. The last time he entered it, he was attracted by the mysterious power contained in it and almost fell into a place of eternal destruction. But now he faced it again, the profound Deep in the water, there seems to be a faint suction force, giving people the illusion of falling into it
He is deeplyAfter taking a breath, he no longer hesitated, took steps, and walked in.
A feeling of coolness rushed towards him, as if he had stepped into a world of deep water. Just a moment later, Zhang Xiaofan found that he was like the last time, surrounded by a world of emptiness and emptiness.
There was darkness, boundless, no light, and no end. Xiao Hui, who was lying on his shoulder, became uneasy. He moved a little and called out twice. Zhang Xiaofan gently stretched out his hand and patted the monkey's head, as if to comfort him. It, Xiao Hui immediately calmed down
Then, Zhang Xiaofan stared forward, but there was nothing but darkness in his eyes. He stared for a long time without moving, until finally, a faint smile suddenly appeared on his lips, but he closed his eyes and walked forward. go
After just a few steps, the death-like silence was suddenly broken. There was a "boom" and a burst of hot air rushed towards him. Zhang Xiaofan could even clearly feel as if he had walked into a sea of ??fire, and his whole body was full of energy. The skin and flesh were being burned by the sudden flames, and severe pain surged from every corner of the body. It seemed that the entire body was about to be destroyed in this sea of ??fire.
But he still closed his eyes tightly. Even when the muscles on his face were slightly distorted by the severe pain, he still maintained a faint smile on the corner of his mouth. He walked forward step by step, slowly but continuously.
On his shoulder, the monkey Xiao Hui let out a frightened cry, sounding very frightened, but Zhang Xiaofan immediately hugged it deeply, burying Xiao Hui's head deeply in his chest and no longer looked outside. Quickly, it seemed that the master's palm and the heartbeat in his chest made Xiao Hui quiet down and lay motionless.
The sound of the flames burning became louder and louder, and even the air around the body seemed to be filled with a terrifying smell of anxiety. The pain in the body continued to increase, and every step seemed to be endured thousands of times more pain.
However, his footsteps still did not stop, and he walked forward slowly and firmly.
I don¡¯t know when, but the violent sea of ??flames that I felt slowly receded. Around him, there was once again a vast and empty silence, and the pain in my body also disappeared.
In the silence, suddenly, a crisp sound of water droplets dripping sounded in his ears. The cold water droplets came from nowhere, fell from nothingness, and landed on Zhang Xiaofan¡¯s face.
Bitingly cold
In a moment, a rumbling sound without any warning came from the front, overwhelming the sky and seemed to be omnipresent. Zhang Xiaofan's mind could clearly depict in addition to that terrifying scene, a huge wave like a dragon, thousands of feet high, crashing down. , anything that stood in front of this huge power of heaven and earth was as small as an ant. Even the towering Qingyun Mountain was swallowed up by it in an instant. The biting cold wind tore his body apart in an instant, which was ten times more powerful than the burning flames just now. The pain once again came from every corner of the body
Zhang Xiaofan never knew that a person's body could be tortured in this way and feel such severe pain. Even his tenacious nerves seemed to collapse before the pain. It was tearing him apart to the point where he could no longer breathe. It was as if he was trapped under the deep sea. The endless pressure would immediately crush him into powder and turn him into water of death.
Even if you die, you should open your eyes and look around before you die
Like a lamp, this thought suddenly appeared in the depths of his heart, flickering far away, like a temptation
Zhang Xiaofan took a deep breath and slowly continued walking forward, closing his eyes tightly
The cold waves on all sides seemed to be irritated, and suddenly became more and more furious. The roaring sound was deafening, and the torture feeling like being cut into pieces with a thousand knives came one after another. Zhang Xiaofan's forehead was even covered with cold sweat, and his face was extremely pale. But he always maintained the remaining clarity before his collapse, and still walked slowly.
Step after step, never stopping, just like life, moving forward slowly, after all, you can't look back
The tide receded slowly, and the deafening and terrifying sound disappeared. Silence returned to his side. In a void, it seemed that only his footsteps echoed.
A person, walking alone
"Xiaofan"
Suddenly, a voice called faintly from behind him. In an instant, Zhang Xiaofan felt as if he had been struck by lightning, his body shook violently, and there was an expression of disbelief on his face. This was the first time, and he stopped involuntarily.
His eyes were still closed, but his lips began to tremble slightly. He was a little choked, a little heartbroken, a little desperate, and said in a low voice: "Bi Yao"
That familiar voice seemed to be right behind him, infinitely tender, with a bit of the tenderness that haunted him forever, and said faintly: "Xiaofan, are you ignoring me? Look back at me."
? ???Xiaofan's body began to tremble slowly. His body seemed to be caught in a fierce battle. He wanted to turn around several times, but endured it. Although there was no pain, at this moment, he was sweating. The heavy clothes were wet and the face was distorted. It was actually more painful than the terrible fire burning the body just now and the cold of the deep sea.
A low but clear call floated behind him, as if it would never end. Isn't this life of ups and downs just for that voice? Why don't you look back?
"ah¡¡"
He suddenly roared, his body was shaking, his teeth were clenched, and his bones were rattling, as if he had finally reached the extreme limit of his endurance.
However, it seemed that this was not over yet, except for Baguio's voice calling him behind him. Slowly, he actually heard the voices of other people, all of whom were unforgettable people in his life.
Father, mother
Master Pu Zhi
Tian Buyi, Suru
¡¡
Endless, the sounds are layer upon layer, wave after wave, calling and shouting behind him, and the past events of his life are like smoke, flashing by one scene after another.
?Thousands of mountains and rivers, one person treks; in the dusk snow, one shadow walks alone across thousands of mountains
He doesn¡¯t want to be lonely or live forever. All he wants is to be with the one he loves
He hugged his head and cried, like a child with nowhere to hide
Tears dripped down, and there was a touch of warmth in the palm of his hand. The endless calls around him were still calling in his ears, lingering, tempting him, making him open his eyes and turn around.
However, that faint warmth suddenly calmed his trembling body. This familiar and warm feeling seemed as if he had felt it not long ago and there was someone who stayed with him when he was on the verge of collapse. Never give up, stay by his side, hugging him tightly through countless dark nights, using the warmth of your body to warm him
Once upon a time, in that void, emptiness and darkness, he was in a coma, half asleep and half awake. In the trance, warm tears fell on his face, telling him that he was not alone in a terrifying cold world.
In this life, those thousands of mountains and rivers, those thousands of mountains with dusk snow,
no,
one person
The countless voices around him suddenly became urgent, as if they had been stimulated by something, and continued to call him with a bit of sadness, but Zhang Xiaofan's body slowly stood up, and the painful distortion on his face was relieved by a calmness. replace
Then, he smiled softly, with a deep nostalgia and unforgettable longing, and smiled lightly. Then, he turned around and walked away, leaving all the sounds behind him, letting the sad and shrill sounds Shouting, and then gradually subsided in the sharp sound
Silence finally comes again
A gentle cough came from in front of Zhang Xiaofan. It was an old voice, a bit fragile and a bit surprised, "So it's you"
Zhang Xiaofan stood there, took a deep breath, slowly exhaled a long breath, and slowly opened his eyes.
