The night is long.
A warm yellow lamp was lit in the room, and two figures swayed on the white wall.
The smile on Huai Bai's face faded, looking at the flickering lights, he said softly: "It's over."
Peiyu rests in her arms, knowing in her heart that after Huaibai meets Mingluan, after that, she will enter Shiling. The spirit of youth, once wiped out, is no longer what it used to be.
Master refused to forgive Ming Luan, could it be that the matter of Shi Ling had something to do with her
… It must be so.
"Master, the third senior sister is Yue Changfeng, the senior brother and the second senior sister are Heqing and Ming Ruxue, right?"
Huai Bo lowered his head and rubbed the girl's soft hair, "Yes." She paused, and then said: "So I said, you are different from them, they are my good friends, and you are my only apprentice .”
It is the child she really wants to care for and love.
There seemed to be warmth in Peiyu's heart, and she felt that the unprovoked vinegar that she ate in the past was very wrong.
Master has never broken his promise. In her heart, she is her only disciple.
She didn't know how Huaibai brought the dead back, but the master always surprises people, and it's not unusual to do things that the predecessors could not do.
"Master," Pei Yu pursed her lips, "Those people have come back to you... If your former partner is also back, will you forgive her?"
Huai Bo shook his head, thought of something, and smiled again: "Everywhere is back? My cloud is still in the water."
Peiyu's voice trembled, "If, if Yunzhong also came back, would you forgive her?"
Huai Bo just smiled and patted her head, "Good boy, go to sleep."
The girl closed her eyes tightly, her long eyelashes fluttered, and the eyeballs under her thin eyelids rolled around.
Knowing that she was not sleeping soundly, Huai Bo held her hand and waited to hear that she was breathing evenly, then put on his robe and pushed open the door.
The sky is filled with stars.
She stood in the courtyard with her head bowed, her black hair scattered half her body, and she could faintly see the silver light flickering in it.
Peiyu was right, after so many years, it was herself who stuck in the past and refused to take a step forward.
Waiper thought, she can't go on like this.
For the past three hundred years, Mingluan has been like a mountain in front of her, keeping her in the shadows. It turned out that she thought that she would be redeemed by making up for the souls of her old friends and sending them back into reincarnation, but when that day came, she still couldn't get out of the past.
A small and cute paper crane wobbled over.
Huai Bai held the paper crane, listened for a while, set up a barrier around the small courtyard, and flew towards Danxia Palace.
Inside the house, Peiyu opened her eyes in the darkness.
There are thousands of bright lights in Danxia Palace, as bright as day.
Ning Xiao rested on the seat with his head resting on his hands and his eyes closed.
Huai Bai walked lightly, but he had already woken up, and said with a smile, "Xiao Bai, sit down."
"Brother Sect Leader, why are you calling me?" Huai Bai was not polite, sitting on the chair, casually picked up a bright red apple from the fruit plate, and opened his mouth to bite it down.
Ning Xiao looked at her with a smile and said, "How are you doing recently?"
Huai Bai spread his hands, "Don't say it, I'm exhausted, Senior Brother Ding's work is really not done by humans, no wonder he wants to run away from home."
Ning Xiao rubbed his forehead, "Thank you for your hard work."
"Brother, if you have something to say, you didn't call me over in the middle of the night to talk about family matters, did you?"
Ning Xiao curled his fingers and tapped the jade tabletop a few times, "Xiaobai, do you still remember the Four Treasures that Master taught us back then?"
Hearing this, Huai Bo sat up a little straighter and put down the apple, "Wuhua, Mirror of Samsara, Non-Gong, Promising, of course I will never forget."
Ning Xiao nodded, "In the battle between immortals and demons in the past, countless immortals fought one after another, and finally sealed most of the demons into the cave of ten thousand demons. Only four treasures can break the seal."
Huai Bo muttered in a low voice, "Why not just destroy it."
Ning Xiao smiled bitterly, "Treasures in the world have double blades, and the four treasures can break the seal, but when the fairy gate encounters another catastrophe, these treasures are also needed to save the world. Let me make a long story short, Sanmo has always wanted to seek the four treasures, release the magic Jun, I suspect that there is also a demon in the lonely mountain... between the six of us."
Huai Bo frowned tightly, "Six people? I also suspect that there is someone behind the scenes in the secret realm, but we are brothers and sisters and grew up together. If there is a demon in disguise, it must be too good a disguise."
Ning Xiao nodded.
Huai Bo asked, "Brother, do you believe me?"
Ning Xiao smiled, "You are different." He took out a seal, walked over slowly, and handed it to Huai Bai, "This is the Xuantian seal."
Huai Bo suddenly stood up, "Brother?"
Ning Xiao said: "That person must have come from Ben Wuhua, Xuan Tianyin is too dangerous for me."
Huai Bai reluctantly hooked his lips, "Senior brother must have a way, it shouldn't be this far."
Ning Xiao sighed, and put the Xuantian seal in her hand, "I'm going to retreat soon, and I'll hand over Gushan and Wuhua to you first. If something really happens..."
"How could something go wrong?"
Ning Xiao patted her head, just like when he was a teenager, "Xiaobai, you are a very good child, regardless of talent, disposition, and savvy, you are all top-notch. Only you can really make me feel at ease."
From what he said, Huai Bo heard the meaning of Tuogu, and said anxiously: "Senior brother, I can't compare with you, I don't know how to do that."
Ning Xiao patted her hand, walked out of Danxia Palace, and stood on the edge of the cliff overlooking the lonely mountain, "In the past three hundred years, you have studied the method of replenishing the soul, realized the way of life and death, and practiced both sword and sword. Who dares to say that you can't do it? "
Huai Bai stood beside him, and the cold wind on the top of the mountain was so strong that their robes were blown up.
"Brother, my cultivation has stagnated at Jindan..."
Ning Xiao sighed, "At first, I thought, let nature take its course, and wait for you to break through naturally, but after three hundred years, you still haven't come out. Xiaobai, what is your Dao heart?"
Huai Bai frowned, "Dao Xin?"
Ning Xiao said: "What made you swing your sword again and again three hundred years ago?"
Huai Bai thought for a while, his expression a little dazed.
Three hundred years ago, why did she swing the sword
When I first came here, I wanted to jump off the cliff directly, and I didn't have any hope for this world.
But it coincides with the birth of the morning sun, the sea of clouds is gilded, and a round of red sun rises slowly. The young man walking with his sword is full of vigor and vitality, and everything is beautiful.
She suddenly remembered the ending, and felt a little unbearable in her heart.
I don't want such a beautiful scene and life to perish in the catastrophe.
"I want to change their fate, I want to protect them..." Huai Bo smiled lightly, "But I found that maybe it was wrong to want to change at the beginning, and it will make things worse."
Her self-assertion only made things worse.
He wanted to protect Gushan and the people around him, but instead pushed them into a more miserable situation. Without her, the three of them wouldn't be buried forever.
"Then you don't want to change or protect now?"
Huai Bo frowned lightly, "Of course I want to...but..."
She still let fate develop according to the established route, accepted Peiyu as an apprentice, and did not take any active measures to deal with the heroine. I always find excuses for myself, but in the final analysis, I am still afraid.
"Brother," she hung her head, her feet were covered in clouds and mist, and her voice was rare and weak, "I tried my best to get out, but I still do." In the mausoleum, she stood in the sea of corpses, with the mutilated corpse of her friend under her feet, Yunzhong was in her hand, and the tip of the sword pierced her lover's heart.
The man's chest was filled with deep black devil blood, his eyes were red, and he still had a smile on his face, "I want you to be like me, to fall into the cold night all year round, struggle in despair, and finally become an out-and-out Devil."
"Look, you killed your friend, and even killed your lover with your own hands." With blood-red lips raised high, Ming Luan took another step forward suddenly, and the tip of the sword pierced through her back.
The cloud was corroded and rusted by the blood of the devil.
Ming Luan knelt down in front of her slowly, with his head still up, looking at her without blinking, his mouth moved slightly, leaving a final curse—
"For the rest of your life, you only need to suffer."
Huai Bai's pupils narrowed, and his face showed pain.
Ning Xiao looked at her worriedly, "Xiao Bai?"
She took out a jug of wine from her storage pouch, raised her head and drank it all before she whispered: "Senior Brother, I have been trapped in Shiling and I can't get out. At least there was Yunzhong before, and I had a sword in my hand. Nature is fearless, but now even the clouds are gone..."
She squatted down, her eyes fixed on the ground, and she said in a shy voice: "Heqing wants to specialize in the cultivation of Yanjia, without the entanglement of the world, Ruxue wants to trade in the world, and does not seek longevity, Changfeng wants to be carefree, happy every day, Canghai wants I have to have someone who is always by my side, and now they have all sought benevolence and obtained benevolence, and I have given them all, but who brought me out of Shiling, who will redeem me?"
A drop of water fell to the ground with a clatter.
Huai Bo continued: "When I came out that year, the senior brothers and sisters were shining every day, but I was devastated. Later, senior brother Ding scolded me for finally saving my life. Is it going to be like this forever? I woke up suddenly, thinking that if I continue, Didn’t I fulfill that person’s curse? She made me fall into the cold night forever, and I just wanted to smile for her.”
She sniffed, her eyes were wet and red, "I started to practice how to show my face and smile, how to live in a daze, and when I smiled, I seemed to become another person. I don't know if I am really happy? The old friend returned, The dead return, why am I still sad?"
Ning Xiao put his hands on her shoulders, frowned and sighed: "Xiaobai..."
He doesn't know how to get his junior sister out of the shadows of the past, but he is about to retreat, and the monsters are watching, Gushan's hope rests on her alone.
Huai Bai was lost in thought, choked up and said: "But the cloud has been destroyed, some things, if they are broken, they are broken, even if they are glued together, there will still be cracks on them."
Ning Xiao said: "Xiaobai, don't dwell on the past. Haven't you gained something new these years?"
new
A slender figure appeared in Huai Bai's mind, "Peiyu..."
Her eyes gradually cleared up, she took a few deep breaths, wiped away her tears, like the clouds opened and the rain cleared, her heart suddenly became clear, she straightened up, and said: "I want to protect her well."
Her apprentice, the child she wanted to protect from the first time she saw her, she didn't want the tragic fate in the book to befall Peiyu.
Ning Xiao said: "Peiyu, I was just about to talk about her, haven't you noticed that this child looks more and more like a person?"
·
Six Paths Temple, Time and Shadow Lake.
The girl stood by the lake, staring at the shimmering lake, lost her mind for a moment.
She has asked Yu Chisu that the vision in the lake is mostly caused by the reincarnation mirror, as long as you have a fragment of the reincarnation mirror on your body, you will not necessarily be lost in the water.
She wanted to get Yunzhong back for Master.
Peiyu pursed her lips and jumped into the lake.
It was dark underwater.
She swam around and suddenly saw something flash. When you approached, the palm-sized fragment lay quietly in a dark corner, and there was a rusty long sword beside it.
Peiyu was overjoyed and picked up the cloud and the fragments.
All of a sudden, bits and pieces of the past, bits and pieces of auspicious light and feathers, floated towards her leisurely like traveling through a hundred years.
