Pei Jing raised his head, and his vision began to clear.
The vast fog and hazy first snow melted away, revealing the man leaning over with a half-smile on his face.
Chu Junyu's bloodshot eyes were now turning into the morning light of the sky, his three thousand black hairs were as white as snow. It was not an illusion or a false image, but the real person standing in front of him.
Pei Jing's eyes were red, he opened his mouth, but the words were stuck in his throat and he couldn't utter them. His heart was trembling - the memories of his master's downfall and the death of his relatives and friends were still suppressed in his heart, pulling out the dense and piercing pain.
However, the moment I saw him, all the suffering seemed to come to an end.
Seeing this, Chu Junyu smiled and said calmly: "So, you still need me to comfort you now?"
Pei Jing gritted his teeth, feeling depressed, he took a step forward and hugged him.
Chu Junyu was stunned.
The boy buried his head in his chest, breathing lightly, his body trembling.
Clearly sensing that Pei Jing was in a bad mood, Chu Junyu frowned and placed his fingers on his back.
Pei Jing said softly: "I'm sorry."
Chu Junyu lowered his eyes and looked at him quietly.
Pei Jing felt so sad that he was about to suffocate. He said in a trembling voice: "I'm sorry, I don't know your pain, I don't know your past... If I had known earlier, I would definitely-"
Chu Junyu chuckled softly. When he heard this, he should have known to interrupt him.
"Need not."
He pressed Pei Jing's shoulders and asked him to raise his head.
Pei Jing looked at him in confusion.
Chu Junyu wiped away the tears on his eyelashes with his fingers. There was a hint of tenderness in his cold eyes. He said calmly, "Even if you knew earlier, nothing would change. It would even be troublesome for you and me."
Pei Jing was stunned.
Chu Junyu said, "In this life, Ji Wuyou has not turned into a demon, has not made any mistakes, and even his life and death are related to the world - after you know my hatred, it has become a dilemma."
Pei Jing subconsciously wanted to refute, but didn't know how to say it.
"Pei Yuzhi," Chu Junyu said with a smile, "You are totally unlike me, and I have long forgotten the thoughts of my age. But I still know you very well, every bit of you."
Your sincerity, your bravery, and the justice in your heart.
I thought about destroying this, changing you.
But in the end, it was you who changed me.
These unspoken words passed through my heart calmly.
Chu Junyu said: "The relationship between you and me is not so much this life or the past life. It's better to say that we are two strangers who once shared a name and a memory."
His expression was as light and distant as the snow in the sky this year, but his tone was gentle: "So, you don't have to bear my past, and you don't have to be so sad about it. Do you understand?"
Pei Jing hadn't recovered from the shock of just now, and his heart was bleeding. He wiped his eyes with his hand, closed them, and opened them again, all blood red. He said in a cold voice, "You understand shit."
Chu Junyu looked at him silently.
Pei Jing was so angry that his teeth ached. He said, "Why do you think I'm crying? I've seen the same things happen in the Buddha Hall, but I only thought it was a demon in my heart, an illusion, and even thought that if this was my future, I would only feel sad and regretful."
"Why am I crying? Because this is my past life? Do you think I am putting myself in my shoes?"
The death of his master, the death of his best friend, the decline of his sect, all of these pains were weighing heavily on his body, yet they seemed unreal through the mist of time and space.
Perhaps in his heart, he had always believed that they would have such a tragic ending, so after the heart-wrenching sadness, there was only emptiness.
It was the one that truly stabbed the knife into his heart and made him collapse and cry.
It was the thought that this was Chu Junyu’s memory.
Pei Jing: "Chu Junyu... I am sad and broken, just because I like you."
He said in a trembling voice: "Because this is your past, I feel bad."
Chu Junyu was stunned for a long time, and then he laughed out loud.
Pei Jing: "..." He was so angry! He felt that his sincere confession was just a joke in Chu Junyu's ears? Is it funny
Chu Junyu also saw his ferocious expression, and he calmed down a little, changed the subject, and said to Pei Jing: "Cross the suspension bridge first. Heaven will not let you leave unless you see the end."
Pei Jing's mind really followed his lead, and he was terrified: "See until the end..."
Chu Junyu said: "Yes."
Pei Jing became sad again and said, "After that, you competed with Ji Wuyou at Wentian Peak. After you lost, he destroyed your spiritual roots and you fell into hell, right?"
Chu Junyu said: "Well, but I'm not dead, don't be sad."
Pei Jing had seen such a tragic scene once in the Pagoda Hall, and his heart went cold.
This is no longer a question of whether or not to be sad.
Chu Junyu glanced around. The sky was dark and the mountains were grey.
The wind whistled around him. He took a piece of snow with his fingers, his expression calm, and he said softly: "So this is what it was like back then."
Thinking of the scene of him bending over in pain in front of the welcoming stone, Pei Jing felt so distressed that he didn't know what to do. He said anxiously, "It's really not your fault. From the moment Ji Wuyou entered Yunxiao, he was destined to have this ending after he turned into a demon. This is a disaster for all living beings, a disaster for the whole world, and it's not your fault. No one in Yunxiao blames you. It's not that you can't protect Yunxiao, and it's not that you let the wolf into the house. If you didn't accept him as your disciple, he would have hated him to the point of madness if he was bullied in the outer peaks or was directly driven out by Yunxiao."
"The Heavenly Dao created the Lord of Heavenly Demons. There are always various ways to make him awaken."
Chu Junyu looked a little dazed, "It's not my fault..."
The snow melted at my fingertips.
When the world collapsed, my five senses malfunctioned, and I was so desperate that I wished I had never appeared in this world.
He blamed himself for his incompetence and hated his own naivety. Yunxiao's downfall was like a mountain pressing on his heart. He knelt in front of the bluestone, a sinner for all eternity.
And a thousand years later, someone told him that it was not his fault.
Chu Junyu smiled, his eyes sparkling, and said, "No wonder you said it wasn't my fault."
Pei Jing said: "When I first saw this scene in the Buddha Hall, I always wanted to say this to you. I didn't expect that I would actually have the chance."
In the Demonic Chamber of the Buddha Hall, I saw that his youthful vigor and vitality had become desolate and cold, and the bluestone was silent like a tombstone, burying the past. I have always wanted to say these words.
Chu Junyu's gaze fell on his bloodshot eyes, he smiled and said, "Well, I get it, it's not my fault."
He whispered in his ear: "So ma'am, don't be sad."
Pei Jing: “…”
Shit. Why did it feel like Chu Junyu was the one who came to comfort him in the end
However, "... Madam?"
Chu Junyu asked, "Didn't you just tie the knot with me?"
Pei Jing: “… OK.”
After walking across the suspension bridge, you will reach the Heavenly Questioning Peak. It is the highest peak in the world. The Heavenly Questioning Test is held every 500 years. Every time, it is a bloody battle and attracts worldwide attention. Today, although it is not the time for the Heavenly Questioning Test, there are still huge crowds of people, and the excitement is comparable to the peak time.
The mountain is steep, covered with strange cypresses, and difficult for birds to fly over. In the cool sunlight, the Wentian Peak shows its majesty to the world. The road to Wentian Mountain is covered with snow and is very narrow. If you fall down carelessly, you will be crushed to pieces. However, people still flock to it and come here in an endless stream.
They said, "I thought Taoist Ziyang hated Pei Yuzhi so much that he would kill him and skin him alive when he came out. I didn't expect that he would want Pei Yuzhi to come to Wentian Peak to compete with him."
"What's this? The number one on the last Heavenly Ranking is competing with the number one on the Heavenly Ranking before that?"
"Hahaha, it's not that simple. I think Taoist Zi Yang wants to humiliate him in front of the whole world."
"How did Pei Yuzhi become famous? Let me think about it. He became famous when he was born and worshipped at Tianqian Peak. Then he became famous with his sword at Wuwang Peak. Then he won the first place on the Heavenly Ranking and established his reputation as the number one in the world of cultivation. It seems that Taoist Ziyang must have a deep hatred in his heart and wanted Pei Yuzhi to be humiliated in the place where he was once most proud."
"Haha, that was quite a show!"
Everyone's eyes were filled with mockery and amusement. Their expressions were crazy, as if the jealousy that had been suppressed for a long time finally had an outlet.
Pei Jing turned his head to look at Chu Junyu, but met Chu Junyu's cold eyes looking at him at the same time.
Pei Jing's mind was in a mess, but he said, "Don't listen."
Chu Junyu was amused by his clumsy consolation and said, "Well, I won't listen."
The hatred and killing intent on his body faded a lot, and he seemed calm. Where Pei Jing couldn't see, his blood-red eyes were cold and bottomless.
Pei Jing looked up and saw fine snow falling on the top of Wentian Peak.
Wentian Peak, Wentian Test...
The first time he came, he was with Chen Xu. The chosen ones from all over the world gathered together.
Chen Xu looked back, looked forward, and quietly asked him, "What are your chances of winning this time on the Heavenly Ranking?"
Pei Jing was chewing candy at the time and smiled nonchalantly: "Odds of winning, rounded to 100% I guess."
Chen Xu said in one breath: "Why are you so arrogant? Can you be serious?"
Throwing the candy wrapper back, the young man in white said, "Why are you in such a hurry? Just look at how handsome I am."
Chen Xu felt ashamed for him.
His candy wrapper happened to hit Yu Qinglian's face. The girl was putting the flowers she picked on the bell when something suddenly covered her eyes and the air stopped.
Ji Wuduan, who heard his words clearly, sneered and said, "Just don't let us see you cry."
Pei Jing wanted to turn around and confront him, but he saw a whip coming at him, which scared him. After seeing the dirt on Yu Qinglian's face, Pei Jing swallowed his saliva, laughed, left Chen Xu and ran away. He was not afraid of Yu Qinglian, but he didn't dare to provoke her when he was not right. Because she was a snitch. He ran to the front and hid next to Wusheng. Wusheng laughed: "Who did you provoke again?" Pei Jing was talking nonsense: "I provoked Yu Qinglian. That woman couldn't stand that I was prettier than her, so she wanted to destroy my face." Feng Jin next to him laughed: "You are as good-looking as a chicken feather."
So he and Feng Jin started fighting on the road again. The sword flew through the sky and left no trace on the snow. Wu Sheng couldn't stop them, and the other passers-by were terrified.
Bet I’ll be number one on the Heavenly Ranking in a hundred years.
Pei Jing was wondering, what kind of mood was Pei Yuzhi in when he went to Wentian Peak this time
I dare not think about it too much, because it makes me sad.
Suddenly, he felt lucky that Chu Junyu appeared in this world. If he hadn't, he really wouldn't have dared to move forward, and wouldn't have dared to see what happened next.
The author has something to say: I won't write about the abuse in detail in the next chapter, hold on. Because... It's already April 24th without me noticing?? ! ! I said it would be finished in May!
