Qi Yin gradually understood that every reunion required a long wait. He wondered how his brother would climb out of the ruins full of snakes, witches and death, return to the top of Fengxue Mountain, walk through the city and cross the mountains and rivers, walk through five hundred years, and become a twelve-year-old child , came to the Wujiang River with dead leaves like butterflies. He thought that he should be destined to be left alone for thirteen years, alone in the attic watching the mellow moon and mellow rain, alone by the Yaojia boiler, waiting for the sound of the medicine hanger, before raising his head and looking at it. On that day, when the cold rain was pattering, he saw his brother's indifferent eyes behind the rain curtain.
So when they fell out of the rift in time and space, he faced the wind and used all his strength to control the bone cutter. The sunset shone into a stream of fire beside him, and his silver hair was dyed a magnificent red. He flew towards the bleak full moon in the high sky, no matter what Yun Zhi tried to tell him to slow down from behind, and no matter how cold his fingers and face were frozen in the sky. He drew the rune that the white deer told him, opened the glistening barrier, and flew into the moon wheel sky. The snow-white icefield stretched for thousands of miles, and he was like a small black spot, falling, falling, and plunging into the vast snow of flowers.
The snow-white Fulan flowers all over the world spread to the end of the sky with the snow field. The towering ice crystal trees were scattered, he lay on the ground and listened, and countless weak heartbeats thumped, like a small drum. He carefully dug a few snow pits with a bone cutter, only to see the intricate root system glowing like a spider web of divine flowers, and no one was there. The petals of the divine flower glowed faintly, and Qi Yin leaned down to look at it. As the angle changed, light runes appeared on the inside of the petals.
It was a witch talisman, and Bailu told him it was a seal. Was Wu Yuli clothed here? What did he seal? Qi Yin frowned, straightened up and looked around, shouting, "Brother!"
The voice echoed in the snow forest, and the ice ridges hanging upside down on the tree shook slightly. No one responded, he searched everywhere, but still couldn't find it. He was tired and sat down against the ice crystal tree, resting his forehead with his hands. When he finally calmed down, he was alone, and the despair and sadness in his heart slowly came up, like icy sea water, flooding into disaster. He knew that he wouldn't live long, even if he didn't cut Shuangxuexin and send away the white deer, his soul would sooner or later fail. a month? three months? How many days are left in his life? His reunion with Fu Lan was destined to end in parting. He hated the word "destined". It was the fate in Fuxi's mouth. The river flows into the sea, and it cannot be changed.
If you will be separated, how will you reunite
How would you live if you only had one day left
If you know the ending, how can you go to it calmly
In the silent world, in the countless heartbeats as weak as a gong, he suddenly caught a majestic sound. It was the big root of the god flower, buried deep in the ground not far ahead. He put down his hands, raised his face, and saw above his heartbeat, there was an ice crystal tree three people hugged together. Its vine-like roots are buried under the snow and ice, and three little people holding hands are engraved near the snow surface, and the middle one has flower antlers.
Suddenly, the frost and snow collapsed, revealing the outline of a person. Qi Yin held her breath unconsciously, stood up, and walked over slowly. Getting closer and clearer, he could see clearly a naked child hugging his knees, curled up and sleeping under the ice crystal tree. He looked like he was only five years old, and the snow particles covered him, and the ice crystal tree fell down with thin ice leaves, covering his small body. The silent profile is like delicate white porcelain, and the long eyelashes are curved like feathers.
His heart was connected to Fu Lanhua, and his breathing sounded like a small beast.
Qi Yin's eyes were red, and she gently picked up the child. The flower roots fell off automatically, and Qi Yin took off her outer clothes to wrap the weak child. He finally knew why Fulan's spiritual power was of the same origin as Bailu, because they were born in the white snow of the moon round sky. His elder brother, Shen Hua is the heart, Da Chun is the bone, and Frost Snow is the flesh and blood. Fu Lan is not the dirty and crazy ghosts in Youli Diyuan, he is the most beautiful little flower fairy in the sky.
Qi Yin knew what he should do.
If there is only one day left in his life, he will use all his strength to hold Fu Lan tightly, watch the snow with him, watch the moon with him, hum a song to him to watch him sleep peacefully, then carry the knife and sword on his back, and go to his mortal fate. .
The child's eyelashes trembled, Qi Yin took a breath, and watched him slightly open his eyes. The big, black pupils are clean, like a pool of autumn water, and like a lonely ancient mirror.
Still sleepy, he asked in a low voice, "Who are you?"
"My name is Qi Yin," Qi Yin slowly returned to him, "I am your brother."
"Brother..." Fu Lan had just woken up, but his mind was still chaotic, repeating like a dream.
"Yes, we are brothers, the closest people in the world." Qi Yin pinched his cheek.
Fu Lan stared at him for a while and asked, "Are you sad?"
Qi Yin was stunned for a moment and said, "Why do you say that?"
"You're crying."
Touching her cheek, Qi Yin felt her hands full of tears. He didn't even realize he was crying, he smiled with tears and said, "I'm happy, brother, I'm happy to meet you again."
I don't know if Fu Lan understood, he just closed his eyes tiredly, put his pillow on Qi Yin's shoulder, and fell asleep. The thin warm breath was sprayed on Qi Yin's neck, Qi Yin's eyes were hot, and tears rolled down. He thought it was good that his brother was back. Tightening his arms and hugging his warm little body, Qi Yin turned his face sideways and pressed his cheeks to his forehead. It would be great if he could not leave, Qi Yin thought with tears in his eyes, what does the life and death of others have to do with him, and what does the grievance between Bai Lu and Wu Yuli have to do with him? It's fine for the world to go with them, he just wants to grow up with his brother.
His heart is very small, he can't hold the world, he can't hold the people, he can only hold a silly little boy.
Yun Zhi and the others arrived later, and when they saw Xiao Fulan in Qi Yin's arms, he was a little surprised and quickly recovered. Yun Zhi curiously touched Xiao Fulan's back, poked his belly again, and said with a smile, "What a baby."
"Go away." Qi Yin patted his hand away, "Don't touch my brother, I'll chop you up again."
The black cat was coiled on Qi Yin's right shoulder, leaned over his head and licked Fu Lan's little face, and his eyes were full of tears.
The lower realm is rampant, and on the way, I saw bone dragons in the southern border, which is really unsafe. Bailu taught Qi Yin to change the spirit formation of Moon Wheel Sky, and simply rested on Moon Wheel Sky, and then discussed how to deal with Wu Yuli from a long-term perspective. Yun Zhi and Qi Lingshu built two igloos, took out the charcoal cage from the Qiankun bag to make a fire, and covered the house with a layer of soft snow as a bed. Qi Yin made her clothes smaller and put them on for Fu Lan.
Fu Lan slept for a long time, sleeping for ten hours a day, and occasionally woke up and turned around, and Yun Zhi would tease him.
"What is this?" Yun Zhi drew on the snow.
"Bird." Fu Lan said lightly.
"what about this?"
"flower."
Yun Zhi shook the ice edge and drew another small portrait, "This?"
Fu Lan was stunned for a while, Yun Zhi drew a person this time, grinning and looking silly. Fu Lan said, "Brother."
"What do you think of him?" Yun Zhi asked.
"..." Fu Lan was silent for a while, then said, "We've known each other for a long time, right?"
"How do you know?" Yun Zhi asked in surprise.
"He always looks at me," Fu Lan looked down at the small portrait, "with a sad look on his face."
Yun Zhi sighed.
Fu Lan asked, "I forgot him, is he sad?"
Yun Zhi rubbed his head, "Of course I'm sad, stupid, the most rare thing in the world is you."
Four days later, Fu Lan still slept very long. Cat Master and Bai Lu took turns to check, but they couldn't see anything wrong. It should be that Fu Lan's physique was different from others, and he was reborn at the beginning of the world, like a baby in the world, especially lethargic.
Qi Yin looked after him like she was taking care of a baby, never leaving her. Sometimes when I get tired of sitting, I go back to the ice crystal tree. The divine flower under the tree bears a heart again, and the frost and snow encircle the outline of a child. Walking through the snow forest, there was no one except Fu Lan, let alone Wu Yuli. No wonder they came so easily, Wu Yuli's real body is not here at all. Qi Yin looked into the distance, the white deer floated in his heart, one person and one deer, his eyes were equally lonely. Except here, there is only one place—
Crescent Valley.
When Yu Jian returned to the camp, he saw Yun Zhi leaning against an ice crystal tree from a distance. Qi Yin asked, "My brother is still sleeping?"
"No, he can sleep better than Master Cat." Yun Zhi took him by the shoulders, "I've observed it for several days, and I think your brother's situation may be cured."
"What do you mean?" Qi Yin turned his face.
Yun Zhi touched his chin and said, "At first I heard that Dumb can be reborn, but I thought it was similar to Samsara, that is, the appearance after Samsara is the same as before. Now it doesn't seem to be the case. When your brother wakes up, he can speak and do it, and recognize it. Flowers, birds, insects and fish are still as smart and clumsy as they used to be. Unlike babies who were just born, they can't do anything except cry and eat and drink."
In the snow house, Fu Lan woke up in a daze. The skylight leaked through the skylight and hit him, making his face almost transparent. He stayed on the bed with bare feet, and was stunned for a while, when he heard the voices of Yun Zhi and Qi Yin outside.
"So I think, every time your brother lives again, it's as if someone hit him with a hammer on the head, causing him to lose his memory. The disease of amnesia is not like the birth of a baby, a blank sheet of paper, although he will forget some things, But he still remembers the basic cognition, such as the name of the name, the means of making a living, the secret method of Wuluo, and his name. When the old monster is solved, let's find a famous doctor or something, show him, maybe it can be cured What?" Yun Zhi said.
Qi Yin was silent for a long time, her silver-gray eyes drooping, not knowing what she was thinking. Yun Zhi's specialty shook in front of his eyes, Qi Yin raised his face, and said, "Dog thief, we two have lived and died together so many times, are we good brothers?"
"Of course." Yun Zhi raised his eyebrows with a smile, "Why, you want to borrow money from me? But my brother still has to settle the account. Well, the interest is a little cheaper for you, 1%, how about it?"
"I want to entrust my brother and Cat Master to you." Qi Yin whispered.
Yun Zhi was startled, "Huh?"
"I didn't tell you something. My soul is dying, and I don't think I have much to do. I promised Bai Lu that I would go to the old man... sigh, our good uncle will send him to the end. After sending him, send Bai Lu again. Bai Lu and I are of the same mind, and if I want to send him away, I will naturally not be able to spare my life." Qi Yin shrugged his shoulders with a pretense of ease, "But if you follow my way, and fight with our good uncle, you will not be able to. If I don’t get much benefit, I may die together. All in all, I won’t be able to stay for long. It doesn’t matter if I’m gone, my brother is still young, he’s stupid, and Master Cat is greedy. When you take care of me, I’ll be able to rest my eyes. already."
Yun Zhi didn't come back to his senses for a long time, and said: "What is this, you..."
"If you don't take good care of them," Qi Yin lowered her voice and said viciously, "I will come back to you in the middle of the night."
"No, no, don't jump to conclusions so quickly. What's going on with your soul? Master Fuxi can undo our curse, so why can't he heal you?" Yun Zhi said with wide eyes.
Qi Yin was silent, he didn't have time to talk to Yunzhi about the deal with Fuxi. It is unnecessary to think about it, if he has an emergency, Yun Zhi and Qi Lingshu will definitely help him take care of Gu Fulan and the black cat, and there is no need to say this to make them blame themselves. He waved his hand and said, "He's just an old man on the verge of death. How capable do you think he is?" He took a breath and said, "Wu Yuli didn't come to see us, maybe I'm sure I'll go. Find him. I plan to set off the day after tomorrow, while my body is still strong, the odds of winning are better. You stay here, don't run around, don't let my brother go to Fulan Flower Sea. I thought about it, his life experience Son, you wait until he's older and tell him, otherwise he might not be able to accept it when he sees his body growing on the flowers."
Yun Zhikong opened his mouth, not knowing what to say.
"As long as the Fulan flower doesn't die, my brother can continue to be reborn. Immortality and immortality are good things that others admire, but my brother regards himself as a monster." Qi Yin said, "Dog thief, remember to tell my brother that he is not. Monster, he is the little flower fairy."
"I can't say such nauseous words." Yun Zhi shook his head, "Little Martial Uncle is meditating, wait for him to come out later, and we will discuss it later."
The two fell into silence, Yun Zhicang set his hand, looked at the blue-white sky, and said, "Fulan flowers are born from the same root, if you kill the big underground root, all the flowers will die, and the dumb boy will not be able to be reborn again. Designing to kill the dumb boy, why not just cut the big root?"
Qi Yin also raised his neck to look at the sky, and said softly, "Because he doesn't really want to kill my brother."
Fu Lan sat on the couch, suddenly stood up, stepped on the small case made of ice and snow and jumped forcefully, flipped up the skylight, stretched out his hand, and the bone-cutting knife flew into his palm. He threw the knife off the roof, then rolled down from the side, dragged the bone cutting knife that was taller than him, and walked toward the sea of flowers with one foot deep and one foot shallow. A series of small footprints spread from under his feet. He climbed the snow slope with both hands and feet, trekked across the snowy plains, and finally saw the white Fulan flower sea. In order to keep him from getting close to the sea of flowers, Qi Yin's camp was far away from here. But there seemed to be a kind of call, something was pulling him, he came under the tallest and largest ice crystal tree, looked down at the body sleeping with his eyes closed in the ice and snow, and the silent Fulan flower in his heart.
The silver rune glowed faintly, and he recognized that it was the secret seal of Wuluo, and something was sealed in the Fulan flower core. He doesn't know anything about the world like a newborn baby. He knows a lot of things, but he can't remember the past. He thought of the man named Qi Yin, with silver-white hair and silver-gray pupils, when he looked at him, his eyes were always full of sadness. He knew that Qi Yin always looked at him silently when he was asleep, kissed his forehead, and wept silently beside him. Qi Yin thought that he was asleep, and hot tears dripped on his forehead. At that time, his heart was like a burning hole, and it was empty.
why cry? Why be sad? Fu Lan didn't understand, he covered his chest in pain, why when the white-haired man cried... he was also sad
"Fulan flowers are born from the same root. If you kill the big underground root, all the flowers will die."
What's under the seal? His spiritual power was running silently, and the silver rune was trembling like a bee, and something called him from the flower core, looking back at him like a long-lost old friend.
To unlock the seal, the divine flower must be destroyed. He raised his eyes suddenly, the bone-cutting knife moved sharply, plunged into the white snow, rushed out of a dark pit, and went straight down, straight to the root of the god flower. The bone-chopping knife smashed the heart of the gods, and the world was silent for a moment, and all the gods were torn apart in an instant, turning into ashes. Wuluo's dense pattern dissipated with the ashes, the silver veins faded, and everything in the past followed the ashes of the crow's feathers in the sky, rushing towards the face. Fu Lan's eyes widened in an instant, and their eyes were blank.
Distortion, death, rebirth, slaughter, death again, rebirth again... The memory of his pursuit of the twenty-fifth generation finally returned to his body. He remembered, his origin, his past, scene after scene reappeared in his mind. In the cold rain of Bashan, Wu Yuli gently turned to the oil-paper umbrella; in the gloomy ruins, radiant white hair was flowing; the shadows of their family in Wujiang Tiangeng stretched out in the setting sun... He stood in the snow with no expression on his face. Sadness and joy, only tears fell silently.
It turned out that it was memory that called him.
Qi Yin got up to see his brother and got into the snow house, but it was empty inside. The clothes on the couch were opened indiscriminately, and the person who had slept on it had disappeared. Qi Yin hurried out and said, "My brother is gone."
The moon wheel suddenly shook, and both of them were almost unsteady on their feet. Qi Lingshu came out of another snow house, and the three of them looked at each other with surprise, and said in unison, "Could it be Wu Yuli?"
The three of them held their swords at the same time and flew into the sea of divine flowers. All the divine flowers are disappearing, turning into gray-white embers, and snow and snow are scattered into the air, fluttering into a heavy snow of goose feathers. Qi Yin saw Fu Lan standing silently under the ice crystal tree depicting the villain, with her dark eyes down, looking at the body lying in the snow. The ice muscle and jade bone, which has not yet grown, is a vague doll. Fu Lan stretched out his hand, and the bone-cutting knife flew out of the pothole that reached the depths of Moon Wheel Sky and returned to his palm.
That silent boy destroyed his own heart.
The white petals were falling all over the sky, Qi Yin opened his eyes wide, and only looked at Fu Lan standing alone in the distance, but did not find that the fine silver runes on the petals disappeared with the embers. The endless embers scatter the heaven and earth into a vast expanse of this month. Qi Yin walked over step by step and asked in a hoarse voice, "Why? Do you know what you are doing?"
Fu Lan looked at him quietly, "I know."
"Why are you doing this!" Qi Yin squatted down and grabbed his shoulders, "You ruined your roots, you will never be able to be reborn again, brother!"
The embers fell between the two of them, and Fu Lan's head and shoulders were covered with thin down feathers, as if his head went white in an instant.
"I don't want to be a Xiao Huaxian, Xiao Yin," Fu Lan looked into Qi Yin's eyes and said softly, "I want to be your elder brother, a lifetime elder brother."
"You!..." Qi Yin suddenly reacted and asked in a daze, "What do you call me?"
"Xiao Yin, I remembered everything. From the beginning to today, from five hundred years ago to five hundred years later, I remembered everything." Fu Lan raised her hand and took a remaining petal, " This is the Wuluo sealing technique. He engraved Wuluo's secret pattern on the divine flower to seal my memory into the divine flower. When I left the divine flower, I lost my memory."
Qi Yin suddenly remembered that Fu Xi said that Fu Lan's spirit was intact and had not been damaged. It turned out that Wu Yuli carved a seal on the divine flower, which prevented Fu Lan from being reborn with his memory.
"So you killed Dagen..." Qi Yin murmured.
"This way," Fu Lan said, "can I get back my past and get back you."
"You idiot..." Qi Yin choked, and grief choked his throat, making him speechless. Is memory so important? If you give up the chance to be reborn, do you want to get it back? He thought that his brother was really stupid, and he forgot what was wrong with those things in the past, so to his brother, he was just a passerby who accompanied him for four or five days. He can leave with confidence and go find Wu Yuli desperately. Because he knew that even if he died, his brother would not be sad.
"You can't be reborn, brother! From now on, if you're gone, you're really gone!"
"It's okay, Xiao Yin," Fu Lan said softly, "I don't want an immortal body, I don't want an endless life. I want to grow old, get sick, and die together with Xiao Yin."
His nose was full of tears and tears, Qi Yin shook his head vigorously and said loudly: "Brother, you big idiot, do you know that I won't live long! I'm about to die!" He burst into tears, "I'm about to… die Ah!"
There is no way for them to grow old together and unable to walk, and there is no way for them to close their eyes and sleep together in the same coffin. Qi Yin was destined to go first, and they were destined to separate.
Fu Lan was also crying, her dark eyes filled with frost and snow-like sadness.
"Xiao Yin, are we lovers?"
Qi Yin choked and nodded.
"Are we family?"
"Nonsense, of course we are!" Qi Yin shouted.
"Then," Fu Lan's voice was slow and clear, "we should live and die together, and live and die together."
