The candlelight in the seven-storey pagoda was not extinguished, and the sunlight pouring in did not make the pagoda any warmer.
Cang Yu walked in weakly with a stick of Qingxu, and coughed several times before smoothing out his breath. He frowned and glanced at Lingxi who was sitting motionless on the ground, and sighed heavily.
"What exactly do you want to do?" Cang Yu looked at Shangxian Donghua helplessly.
Donghua Shangxian just laughed, his smile was extremely enchanting. He looked intently at the sword in front of the silver mirror, and murmured: "It's only the last step."
As he spoke, he took out the soul-locking water, lowered his eyes and chanted a mantra.
Cang Yu no longer had the extra strength to stop him, panting to see what he wanted.
The long sword spinning in front of the silver mirror slowly took on a silvery-white fluorescence, and the light outlined the figure of a woman, about the same size as Lingxi, wearing a green shirt, with a delicate appearance, and when she opened her eyes, she felt aura .
"Huangyun!" The woman shouted to Donghua Shangxian, "Put me down quickly, I can't move."
Cang Yu was slightly taken aback. This was the first time he heard someone call Donghua Shangxian's name directly. Over the years, he even almost forgot these two words.
"Hey, what is this?" The woman picked up the transparent beads hanging on her chest, and muttered dissatisfiedly, "Where is this place, what did you bring me here, Ararat?"
That is the Soul Relief Pearl. The twenty-four soul-suppressing beads will fuse together after they are taken off, and Cang Yu seems to have a little understanding of what Shangxian Donghua is going to do...
Lingxi, who had been staying quietly by the side, suddenly moved. She almost crawled to the side of the woman in green, grabbed her skirt tightly and cried, "Nan Zhi... you give Nan Zhi back to me! You take Nan Zhi Give me back Zhi, please? I beg you, please, give me back Nanzhi!"
The woman in green was stunned, "Hey, isn't this... the one in love?"
Lingxi cried uncontrollably, tears streaming down her face, just kept repeating: "You give me back Nanzhi, give me back Nanzhi..."
"Huangyun, this is..."
Before the woman in green finished her question, a white circle of light floated out of the soul-locking water and landed between her eyebrows one by one. The woman's eyes, which were still active just now, were covered with a layer of water mist, and gradually lost her spirit, until the aperture of light completely disappeared, the silver light around her faded, and the brilliance of her eyes gradually returned, but they were no longer as clear as before.
Cang Yu smiled when he saw this scene, a bitter and helpless smile.
He knew this woman, or she should not be called a woman, but a fairy, a fairy named Jianying.
As early as two thousand years ago, before he was the head of Cangjia Mountain, Donghua made a fuss because of her. At that time, several elders of Donghua Mountain were still there, Donghua Shangxian still used the name of Huang Yun, and Donghua Mountain and even the entire fairyland were not headed by him.
There are unwritten rules in the fairy world, and the relationship between fairy spirits and spirit masters must not exceed the rules. Firstly, the fairy spirit is cultivated by the spirit master, who is both a teacher and a father; secondly, the fairy spirit has only one soul and one soul, and cannot be called a normal person at all; in this way, it is impossible to combine the two. But Huang Yun stepped on this line.
Even two thousand years ago, Huang Yun was well-known in the fairy world. This incident caused a lot of trouble, and everyone in the fairy world knew about it. The elders of Donghua Mountain only felt that their face was ruined, and they forced Huang Yun to make a choice. Either Huang Yun destroyed the fairy himself and gave up his mind completely, or he left the school and had nothing to do with Donghua Mountain.
"Jianying, come here." Shangxian Donghua smiled, which was different from any previous smile, focused and sincere.
Jian Ying didn't move, and lowered his eyes slightly, without saying a word.
"Is this what you want to do?" Cang Yu smiled lowly.
Donghua Shangxian glanced at him, his eyes were not very sharp, "Yes, now she has three souls and seven souls, and now I am the only leader in this fairy world, who would dare to object to me being with her?"
Jian Ying finally moved and squatted down.
Lingxi was still crying, her eyes were clouded, she was trembling constantly, and she whispered "Nan Zhi".
Jianying carefully wiped away Lingxi's tears with his sleeve, and held her in his arms, completely different from the lively and cheerful woman who loved to laugh.
Cang Yu didn't want to watch this scene any more, so she stepped forward and planned to carry Ling Xi in her arms.
Indeed, no one can stop them from being together now.
Back then, in order to get Huang Yun out of the dilemma, Jian Ying broke into the underworld and cast a curse on the Wangchuan River. Every ten years, he would withdraw his memory and sink to the bottom of the Wangchuan River. Everyone saw that Jian Ying who had returned from the underworld was innocent and ignorant of the world like a child, and saw that Huang Yun had been depressed overnight and did not mention this matter again, so they did not pursue it further.
Unexpectedly... He waited for two thousand years, but he also wanted to complete her soul and retrieve her memory.
Cang Yu took Ling Xi, stuffed a few pills in her mouth, and carried her forward slowly.
"Wait." Jianying said suddenly.
Cang Yu looked back at her and Donghua Shangxian and shook his head.
"I don't think so." Jian Ying met Shang Huangyun's eyes, with a bit of sadness in his eyes, "Huangyun, why do you want me to remember all this?"
She looked around the seven-story pagoda, her eyes fell on the bright sunlight outside the pagoda: "When is this eve? Is the shadow of the sword today still the shadow of the sword in the past?"
"Jianying, it's been two thousand years." Shangxian Donghua smiled as cleanly as a lotus flower that has just bloomed, "We have been waiting for this moment for two thousand years."
There was no smile on Jian Ying's face, and there seemed to be mist in his black eyes.
"Come here, Jianying." Shangxian Donghua's voice was deep.
Jian Ying sighed, "Why did you hurt them?"
"It's just a rose flower and a soul made with cultivation, you..."
"Just like the past two thousand years, I'll be with you for ten years and ten years, isn't it good?" Jian Ying's expression was gloomy, and when he raised his eyes again, his eyes were cold, "Huang Yun, we can't go back gone."
Donghua Shangxian was taken aback, then laughed as if hearing a joke, "Haha, Jianying, I know you're joking again. Come on, come here, don't you remember?"
Jian Ying smiled, "Yes, I remember everything, so I remember what you were like before."
The smile on Donghua Shangxian's face disappeared completely, and the arrogance of the past also disappeared. He was obviously the god who called the wind and rain in the fairy world, but he looked helpless when facing the woman right in front of him.
Jian Ying lowered his eyes slightly, his long eyelashes were like shadows, and there was a faint smile on his delicate face, "The barren cloud is no longer the barren cloud it was before, and neither is the sword shadow. The barren cloud back then was obsessed with kindness and hated evil like hatred." .The sword shadow at the beginning just wanted to be by Huang Yun's side, life after life. However, today's Huang Yun can take other people's souls and kill other people's lives for his own selfish desire. Today's sword shadow... "
The sword shadow's voice was weak, as if it was about to fall into the dust and drift away faintly.
"How is the sword shadow today?"
"Jianying today... Huangyun makes Jianying feel that it is a sin for him to live." Jianying sighed softly.
And this sentence was like a thunderbolt, which made Donghua Shangxian stand on the spot in a daze. The blood-red robe is still bright in color, but the man who once looked down on the world proudly has lost his former glory. His deep eyes locked the woman in front of him, as if thousands of emotions were roaring and rushing in it, but they were buried and swallowed by those eyes.
The memory that has been blocked for thousands of years is getting more and more mottled, but he still stubbornly stays where he is, guarding the city of memory.
"Huangyun, give them back what belongs to them." Jianying looked at Lingxi who was still sobbing apologetically, "I chose our ending two thousand years ago."
Donghua Shangxian was still looking at her, a smile gradually formed on the corner of his mouth, it was his usual playful smile, "I planned this carefully, not to hear what you said. Jianying, you will remember .”
Remember his kindness, remember their time together.
Donghua Shangxian made seals with both hands again, wanting to cast spells.
"I remember now." Jian Ying said with a wry smile, "Huangyun, I remember everything clearly. But how do you understand? I would rather be an ignorant child who doesn't understand anything than trample on Looking at other people's bones to see the suffering in this world!"
Donghua Shangxian smiled even more coquettishly, "No, you don't want to see me now, do you?"
His shadow moved with him, and his blood-red clothes swayed in the air like red lotuses in bloom. When the red shirt fell to the ground, he stood in front of Jian Ying with a pale face.
The original handsome face was no longer there, replaced by bumpy flesh and blood. Although the wound had healed and was no longer bloody, it was still ferocious. It is not difficult to see how terrible the original injury was.
Jianying's body trembled, and he stretched out his hand to touch her face, but he didn't dare to touch her face, so he could only pull his hand, but he didn't know that those hands were also uneven, and she put them down hastily as if she had been scalded.
"Thousands of years ago, I also went to the underworld to get the soul-locking water, and I want to recall your memory sooner." At this time, the only thing that Donghua Shangxian didn't change was the red dress and the unruly smile on the corner of his mouth. Ying's face, caressing gently, "Wang Chuan Shui's injury, I will be with you forever. Jian Ying, they forced me! Since the Six Realms can't tolerate us, why can't I bear the people of the world?"
Donghua Shangxian flicked his long sleeves, and the candle flames in the seven-story pagoda flickered upwards. The scarlet cinnabar on his forehead was like the most dazzling star in the sky, and the pupils of his pupils were burning with fire.
Jian Ying unconsciously took two steps back, perhaps choking on the candlelight, his eyes were filled with water. Her long eyelashes trembled slightly, and the watery light turned into tears, streaming down her cheeks.
"Jianying doesn't cry." The fire in Donghua Shangxian's eyes seemed to be extinguished by the tears, and he stepped forward to wipe away Jianying's tears, and embraced her, "From now on, no one will hurt me again!" , can stop you and me."
Jian Ying hugged Huang Yun with his backhand.
Huang Yun smiled peacefully: "From now on, we will never be separated again."
Jian Ying nestled in his arms, weeping softly: "Well, Huang Yun, I will always be by your side, and I will never leave again."
"You have to trust me, I will always be by your side."
The cinnabar on Donghua Shangxian's forehead faded, and a smile gradually entered his eyes.
However, the next moment, the smile froze at the corner of his mouth.
Jian Ying's body suddenly became transparent, and fine silver light spots floated away from her body.
Donghua Shangxian didn't seem to be able to react, he stared stiffly at the scattered light spots, and the light in his eyes cracked.
"You are still like this... Huangyun, have you ever thought about what will happen to the person who helped you obtain the soul-locking water and soul-suppressing beads?" Jian Ying's voice was faint, "Huangyun, you have fallen into the devil , go back soon."
The sound dissipated, and the sword disappeared without a trace, leaving only a sword with an icy edge lying on Donghua Shangxian's arms.
The flames gradually dissipated, the blood light gradually faded away, and the surroundings were quiet.
Two wisps of smoke, one white and one black, floated inside the tower, one directly flew into Lingxi's eyebrows, and the other floated out of the tower along with the breeze, and disappeared into the sky.
The red candle was still burning, the blood-clothed man was holding the long sword in his arms, Ling Xi was crying, and Cang Yu frowned.
The silver mirror fell to the ground with a bang, smashing the peace of the place.
***
Donghuashan lost its head overnight. Some people said that he descended from the clouds to the west and disappeared at the edge of the endless West Sea; Retreat from the world. In short, he neither left a word nor came back.
After the meeting of the four immortals, the fairy world was peaceful, but for no reason, there was a sense of decay.
Everything in Cangjia Mountain is still the same, but the head of the sect can't retreat after the Four Immortals Meeting, and several disciples may not go down the mountain for a long time.
Although there are still Qingkui Qinglian and Qingnian on Tianmai Peak, they seem to be much more popular than usual. Although the three of them were in the same place before, they cultivated independently, and they seldom interacted with each other. Now they meet almost every day by coincidence.
"Any news about Lingxi?" Qinglian was the first to ask.
Qing Nian shook his head, Qing Kui shrugged helplessly, and the wine sage shouted "wow": "Why hasn't Xiao Lingxi come back! If she doesn't come back, Qiangweihua won't come back! If Qiangweihua doesn't come back, how can I learn to be a teacher!"
This time the Jiu Sheng had finished speaking, but unfortunately he still couldn't escape Qing Kui's slap, "Shut up and go to sleep!"
The wine sage yelled: "I said what happened to the rose? I was not allowed to say it before, but now he is your savior, so why don't I say it!"
Qing Kui ignored him. In the past, in order to hide the strange growth speed of the fairy for Lingxi, she never mentioned it in front of Qinglian and Qingnian. Until that day, Nanzhi walked out of the hall calmly, But Qinglian Qingnian was not surprised, he suddenly realized that Lingxi was with them all day long, how could it be possible to hide it? Just tacitly silent.
Therefore, when the master ordered them to take Nanzhi to the past, the three of them invariably stalled for time, fighting back and forth without making any real progress. Until an hour later, Nan Zhi suddenly rushed to the top of Donghua Mountain.
What Qingkui didn't expect was that he saw his master fighting with Donghua Shangxian. When his master climbed Donghua Mountain for the first time, his face was tired and showed signs of weakness. He was obviously not Donghua Shangxian's opponent, and he retreated repeatedly. Although the three of them stepped forward, they were of no help. It was Nan Zhi's move that changed the situation of the battle.
Those two, one red and one black, seemed to be natural opponents, and they fought inextricably.
To this day, Qing Kui is still blaming himself, why he was so vulnerable at that time, and was beaten into a faint by Donghua Shangxian's palm.
When he woke up, Lingxi was like a dry stone, never crying, laughing, listening, asking, or sleeping.
Master said that the fairy has passed away, let us return the soul-locking water in the underworld, take good care of Lingxi, and retreat by ourselves.
"Lingxi has been to the underworld for nearly a month and there is no news, which is really disturbing." Qinglian frowned and said, "Why don't we go to the underworld to find out."
Qingkui couldn't bear it for a long time, but Master is in retreat, and now Master Uncle Canghai is in charge. If he goes to talk about this matter, Uncle Canghai will definitely disagree, but it will be different if it is Qinglian...
"Okay! Let's go today!" Qing Kui said firmly as he slapped the table.
Qing Nian disagreed, and said a few more words: "Lingxi is like a wooden man after returning to Cangjia Mountain. She only reacted a little when she heard the underworld. Maybe she just doesn't want to go back to this sad place for the time being. Pluto Chain If you are willing to lend her soul water, how can you let her be wronged in the underworld?"
Qinglian nodded thoughtfully, if Hades wanted to make things difficult, he would not have given Lingxi the soul-locking water so easily.
But Qing Kui said stubbornly: "No! You must go to the underworld to have a look, who knows what that little pervert is thinking! What if Ling Xiaoxi eats it!"
Both Qinglian and Qingnian looked at him strangely, Qingkui coughed in embarrassment: "I, I... Anyway, I don't care! I'm going down the mountain now, you guys keep it from me, if Uncle Canghai finds out, Qinglian you Go and beg for me!"
Without waiting for Qinglian and Qingnian to agree, she disappeared in the blink of an eye.
And in the underworld at this moment, the little Pluto Mingsheng is surrounding Lingxi to please him in every possible way.
"Xiao Xi, you haven't gone out all day, why don't I secretly take you out of the underworld to play around?" His body almost reached Lingxi's waist, even though Lingxi was sitting, he still had to look up look at her.
Lingxi just sat, not saying a word, not blinking.
Mingsheng climbed onto the soft couch, knelt and sat on it, propping his face with his hands, "Xiao Xi, are you hungry? I'll let them bring in something to eat?"
Lingxi was still like a wooden figure and did not respond.
Mingsheng suddenly thought of something, opened his hands happily, and there was a pair of crystal boxes on the table, "Xiao Xi, look, there are seven or forty-nine night pearls here, all of which were sent by Donghai on my 70,000-year-old birthday." , I’ll give it all to you.”
Inside the clear crystal box, the faint blue light of the luminous pearl penetrates from the inside to the outside, and the cold air lingers.
Lingxi didn't look at Ye Mingzhu, but her eyes suddenly turned red.
Ming Sheng cried out inwardly, not knowing where he said something wrong again. In the past month, he knew that he could not talk about roses, mention fairy spirits, and let her see the Wangchuan River... otherwise she would cry.
In fact, when Lingxi first came to the underworld, she didn't look like this.
According to the judge, Lingxi stood alone by the Wangchuan River for a long time before he left. Although she couldn't hear clearly, she was not silent. At that time, the first thing she said when she saw Ming Sheng was: "Don't the souls of fairy spirits come to the underworld?"
Ming Sheng now thinks about his own reaction at that time, and wants to slap himself twice!
At that time, he was only happy to see Lingxi, and didn't notice her downcast expression at all. "Haha", he laughed loudly and said, "Things like fairy spirits can be regarded as having souls? One soul and one soul will disappear without a spirit body!"
He still remembers Lingxi's expression at that time, as if a blooming flower withered in an instant and withered without a sound.
After that sentence, Lingxi became what she is now. She didn't respond to what he said to her. He asked her what happened to the fairy and where did Black Rose go, and she began to cry silently.
In the end, he didn't dare to ask again, and tried different ways to make Lingxi happy, but unfortunately the results were mediocre.
"Ah! Xiao Xi!" Ming Sheng's eyes lit up, and he said, "There is something you will definitely like."
Ming Sheng clenched his fist and spread it out, on which lay a bead in the shape of a drop of water, which looked like a flower, somewhat similar to the Manjusawa by the Wangchuan River, but not as fragile as ordinary flowers.
"This is called soul attraction, and it can attract incomplete souls with nowhere to live." Mingsheng secretly observed Lingxi's expression while talking, "Hold it, maybe...maybe it can attract the souls you want to find. people."
Mingsheng has always been troublesome, he doesn't care about things outside the underworld, he doesn't even care about evil spirits doing evil outside, let alone the remnant souls wandering outside. Therefore, this spirit guide has not been used for tens of thousands of years, and he has almost forgotten its existence.
Lingxi's long eyelashes trembled, and she finally had a reaction. She held it in her palm and stared blankly.
Ming Sheng was a little guilty, last time he spoke the truth, but this time... this soul attraction, in fact, can't attract the soul of a fairy. But... he just wanted to make Lingxi happy.
"A Chou! Lingxi! A Chou! Lingxi!"
Mingsheng was worried that Lingxi would ask carefully, when he heard the commotion outside, and the shouting voice was very familiar.
"Who is outside? Let it in, let it in." Ming Sheng ordered the people outside a little irritatedly.
As soon as the door opened, Qing Kui rushed in. Seeing Lingxi who was in tears, he rushed over and hugged Mingsheng in his arms, and cursed Mingsheng: "Sex ghost! What did you do to Lingxi?"
Mingsheng was not happy at all, his face was flushed by Qing Kui's scolding, and because Lingxi couldn't make a move in his arms, he had to say angrily: "This king's territory, I can do whatever I want!"
Qing Kui heard his immature voice, looked him up and down, and suddenly stopped arguing with him.
Ming Sheng felt that he was despised, naked despise!
"Lingxi has caused a lot of trouble in the underworld, thank you His Majesty Hades for your tolerance." Qing Kui cupped his hands in a solemn voice suddenly, "I will take her back to the fairy world, and if I have a chance in the future, I will repay Your Majesty's kindness today."
Ming Sheng choked his breath and was unable to speak. After living for 70,000 years, I haven't seen anyone yet, no, Youxian... so shameless!
Regardless of Mingsheng's expression, Qingkui walked out with Lingxi in his arms. Lingxi didn't resist, and let Qingkui hold her. Ming Sheng stayed where he was, neither speaking nor following.
It wasn't until Qing Kui was about to leave the underworld that he heard that immature voice yell: "Qing Kui!!! You wait for this king!!! If you have the ability, you will live forever for this king!!!"
After leaving the underworld, Qingkui let out a sigh of relief, took Lingxi to sit on Jiusheng, and returned to Cangjia Mountain.
He sat beside Lingxi, carefully wiped away her wet tears, and sighed softly: "It's been a month, do you want to keep going like this?"
Lingxi stared blankly at the vibrant world under the clouds, her eyes dull.
"Nanzhi also doesn't want to see you like this."
Hearing "Nanzhi" this time, Lingxi didn't cry, but the dead gray in her eyes spread unscrupulously, and then she actually chuckled, "Yeah, he doesn't want to see me."
After not speaking for a long time, Lingxi's voice was low and hoarse, "Because I cried and told him that I would never see him again in this life."
What she remembered, even though she was confused at the time, now that she thinks about it, every scene is so clear.
She remembered crying and avoiding Nanzhi, telling him not to come over in disgust, remembering the shattered coldness and dull gray color in Nanzhi's eyes, and remembering the last words she said to Nanzhi, she said, never in this life See him again.
He has always been so obedient, listening to her alone.
Therefore, he will never appear in front of her eyes again.
The world is changing so fast, one moment she was still lingering in his arms, savoring the taste of love, and the next moment he disappeared without a trace, never seeing her again.
