jingle jingle
The chains rubbed against the stone surface, making a harsh sound.
Oncoming was a woman with a withered face, her whole body was wet, her clothes were dripping with water, as if she had just been fished out of the river, her hair was disheveled, as if she was a forbidden woman.
Beside her, Fang Ling was helping her walk slowly.
"These two people..."
Hei Lian let out a soft cry in the sea of consciousness, and Su Li narrowed her eyes.
Mei Ruohan and Fang Ling are all acquaintances.
She watched silently, letting the two of them get closer, and then... passed them by.
"Senior Sister, I'm afraid you haven't seen the sun for many years. The sun is shining brightly today and the weather is perfect. Master ordered me to take you to tidy up your appearance. Senior Sister, please cherish this opportunity."
Fang Ling spoke softly on the side, and many female disciples dressed as maids were behind her, holding bright red clothes, phoenix crowns and harems in their hands, accompanying her all the way.
Su Li's eyes flashed slightly, then turned around and followed the last maid, blending into the team like a transparent person.
After a while, everyone came to a magnificent palace. Su Li looked up at the palace plaque and wrote "Lingyu Palace".
She twitched the corner of her mouth slightly and said, "Saint Girl's Peak", this palace was once called "Lili Palace".
As the maid walked into the palace, a cold breath greeted her, which seemed vaguely familiar to Su Li.
Fang Ling had helped the haggard woman sit down in front of the dressing table, surrounded by maids.
"This palace belongs to Senior Sister. If Senior Sister had not chosen this path back then..."
Fang Ling rambled on, but before she could finish her words, Mei Ruohan, who had always looked like a zombie, finally said hoarsely, "That's enough."
Fang Ling was not angry when she saw this. She just waved her hand and said, "Put down everything. You go out first. I will personally help senior sister bathe and change clothes."
The leader of the group of maids hesitated slightly after hearing this, then put down the tray in his hand and left with all the maids.
After everyone left, the smile on Fang Ling's face faded, and she waved her hand to create a soundproof barrier, but she couldn't see Su Li sitting next to the dressing table, looking at the two of them.
"Senior sister, this is your last chance. Brother Luo's identity will be exposed soon. If you don't seize it, you will have to stay in an underground ice prison for the rest of your life. All Brother Luo's hard work will be in vain!"
Mei Ruohan stared blankly at the withered face in the mirror and said in a cold tone: "How much benefit did you receive from Luo Yichen?"
Fang Ling was startled for a moment, tears gradually appeared in her eyes, she bit her lip and tried to hold back her tears, "Senior sister, it's been a thousand years since this happened, why do you continue to feel so brooding about it? I know that you must still have Brother Luo in your heart. And everyone in the middle is dripping, right?"
Mei Ruohan smiled, her smile was only sad, "Liliju? I am not me, and he is not him. The only real Su Li was killed by my own hands. Why do you think I am so worried about you? You... are different or are you?" Do you want to call me Senior Sister? Then let me ask you, which Fang Ling are you?... Which one?"
Fang Ling's breath was suffocated, and her heart was full of bitterness. After a long time, she took a deep breath and said softly: "I don't know, but I know that the senior sister in Qingshui Realm is dead. You are pure Mei Ruohan, why bother to do that? The evil thoughts continue to make you feel guilty. Right now, you have to survive! If you continue to stay in the ice prison, you won't be able to hold on for long!"
Fang Ling wiped away her tears and said, "That's it for now. Senior sister, please think about it by yourself."
After saying that, she turned and left the palace, leaving Mei Ruohan to sit alone in front of the dressing table, lost in thought.
At this moment, a light flashed in front of the dressing table, and Su Li's figure appeared. In order for Mei Ruohan to recognize her, she even used the Ten Thousand Spirits Art to change her face into the appearance of her previous life.
When Mei Ruohan saw her, there was no surprise on her face. She just smiled and murmured to herself: "I think about things too much, and I don't see any good. I do have hallucinations. Tell me, you want to hate me again this time." What?"
"hate you?"
Su Li spoke softly and in a serious tone, "Why do I hate you?"
There was self-mockery in Mei Ruohan's eyes, "This time I've changed the pattern. Is it your turn to ask me? Then I'll tell you, you hate me for destroying your life ring! Cutting off your path to cultivation! Every time you show up, your seven orifices bleed. I wish I could eat my flesh and blood and be destroyed in ashes immediately, never to be reincarnated again!"
At this point, Mei Ruohan suddenly opened her hands and laughed hoarsely: "Come on! My life is here, Ah Li, take it, whether it is a mountain of swords, a sea of fire, or a burning fire, I will do it. What a sin I have done!!!"
Fang Ling stood in front of the main hall, listening to the sounds coming from the hall, her eyes flashed, but no tears appeared.
Next to her, the leading maid stared at her without leaving a trace, and from time to time she heard the whispers of the little maids, "The saint of the previous generation went crazy again, talking to herself, crying and laughing, how many times did she do this?" ”
"Just get used to it. I heard that the saint of the previous generation married into a good family. I'm really jealous."
"quiet!"
The leading maid's voice was slightly louder, drowning out all the whispers. Then she bowed respectfully to Fang Ling and led all the maids back further.
In the hall, Su Li looked at Mei Ruohan for a moment, just looking at her.
Until Mei Ruohan felt something strange, she suddenly chuckled: "Ruohan, you are wrong, I don't hate you."
! !
Mei Ruohan trembled all over and looked at Su Li who was so close in disbelief. Her lips trembled and she opened her mouth several times, but no sound came out.
Finally, she suddenly remembered something and sat up straight. Her cold hands slowly stretched out, wanting to touch Su Li.
Su Li stepped aside and got out of the way.
"Plop..."
The sound of a stool overturning was heard in the hall, but Fang Ling still stood outside the door and did not go in.
Mei Ruohan lay on the ground, propped up her body, looked up at the familiar figure squatting in front of her, and said in a hoarse voice: "Are you... really?"
"True and false, false and true. You have punished yourself for a thousand years and you still haven't figured it out. I can't figure it out even more."
Su Li's tone was gentle, just like when she was at Muyang Women's School, every word she spoke was so calm and contained a convincing power.
Mei Ruohan's eyes were filled with tears, and she was speechless. Only strong guilt and regret were left, slowly spreading in the air.
"I really don't blame you. From the moment your original soul dissipated, you were Mei Ruohan. I have a lot of hatred. I hate that the Yuxu Sect is selfish and uses me as a tool and throws it away after use. Yes. I hate the mastermind behind the scenes for controlling my life and making my death worthless; I hate this world even more, why did they not allow me to be born, but turned a blind eye and allowed me to cause trouble in the world!"
"There is unwillingness and despair, but I still have a trace of warmth for you back then. I am very happy to see that you are still alive."
"Live well, Ruohan..."
As the last words were spoken, Su Li's figure disappeared, as if he had never
Never appeared.
Mei Ruohan was in a daze, and after a long time, she burst into tears.
…
In a village under the Jiuzhou Mountains, Su Li looked relaxed and walked through the bustling night market with a candied haws in his hand.
It was like returning to the temple fair in Dasu Town overnight, simple and pure.
But Su Li knew that nothing could go back.
"Little Su Li, why did it become clear that you didn't need to show up just now? Is it possible that you really have good thoughts towards them? They are the ones who have the most luck by staying by your side in the Mirror of Reincarnation."
Su Li had eaten a candied haws, and the sweet and sour taste spread in her mouth.
She closed her eyes with satisfaction, smiled and said to herself: "I haven't eaten it for a long time, it tastes good."
"Su Li, you haven't answered me yet?!"
Black Lotus's face was full of anger, and it almost made her hair explode. Is its sense of existence that low? Why is Su Li always ignored? !
"Don't guess my thoughts from now on. It's very tiring."
After saying that, Su Li quickly walked through a busy section of the city and ran into the Lantern Festival Street.
Hei Lian looked tired and complained in her heart, "You are over 2,000 years old and you are still jumping around when you walk. Do I really think you are a girl?!"
Of course, it would never dare to say this openly.
A month later, Su Li returned to Ni Zong, and only Hua Yan knew the news.
Two months have passed since Su Yang and Sumu came to Ni Zong.
"How are they doing?"
Su Li threw a storage box to Hua Yan, "The spirit flowers and herbs I found along the way look good. You can try incorporating them into the flower spirit pond. It will also be good for your Tao."
Hua Yan rolled her eyes angrily, "You risked your life to go to Yuxu Sect, but you still remembered to bring flowers and plants with you. It's really a waste of your life."
Huayan was pleased with the knife she was talking about, and replied seriously: "Those two people are very talented, almost the same as Yan Ziye, and judging from the three people getting along with each other in the past two months, Yan Ziye seems to know them."
"There are only a few Holy Sect disciples. It is normal for disciples of the Holy Sect to communicate with each other." Su Li smiled and continued to ask: "Is there anything else?"
Hua Yan shook her head, "It's nothing. Su Yuanhai is taking care of the counter-sect, so it's very comfortable. On weekdays, the disciples of the sect don't have any other wars except meeting some people because of the mission of the spirits and monsters. On the contrary, Su Yuanhai's side..."
Su Li raised an eyebrow, "What's wrong with Su Yuanhai?"
"He has been in a bad situation recently. The people in the sixth room of the Su family are competing with him for a spiritual stone mine, and the fight has been fierce recently. The other rooms in the Su family are turning a blind eye and not intervening."
"What about the second bedroom?"
Su Li thought of Su Dieyin, who had a very good attitude towards her before. Although the second roommate of the Su family was still in Nightmare's belly and had not returned, Su Dieyin's temperament meant that she would not fall out.
Hua Yan sighed, "She wanted to take care of it, but the people in the third, fourth, and fifth rooms worked together to put pressure on her, and it was hard for her to intervene. She didn't know what the owner of the sixth room, Su, was interested in in the Lingshi mine, but The geographical location is a bit special, and all the products produced are low-grade spiritual stones, so logically speaking, we should look down on them even more."
"A special location?" Su Li noticed something was wrong and asked in response, "Where is the Lingshi Mine?"
Hua Yan took a deep breath and said solemnly: "It's the Black Stone Forest!"
