"It's just that reality is often not as easy as imagined." Doudou's voice was indifferent, "Ask Qingjian can only stave off misfortune for a while, but it can't stave off forever."
Gu Peijiu looked at the illusion.
It was a freezing cold night.
After all, the white-robed puppet leader had never suffered any misfortune. Using Xia Wushuang's body's "spirit of words", Xia Wushuang broke free from the formation of the Inquiring Sword.
"Do you think you can stop me?"
The girl with bloody eyes held a long sword and smiled wickedly. She walked to Gu Peijiu, half-squinted one eye, the hilt of the sword raised her chin, and her voice was arrogant, "Kneel down for me obediently!"
Gu Peijiu's pupils shrank, and the next moment, her knees seemed to have fallen from a huge boulder, and she knelt down toward Xia Wushuang uncontrollably!
"Interesting, really interesting, hahahaha-" Xia Wushuang laughed wildly, her eyes narrowed: "You just kneel here-hahaha, or... can you accompany me to kill people?"
Gu Peijiu raised her eyes and looked at her.
The dark eyes are starless and moonless, like a deep snowy night, but they have the power of shocking!
The next moment, the Qingqing Sword lit up with divine light!
Xia Wushuang threw away the sword suddenly, took three steps back, and said with a "tsk", "...It's really tricky."
The Qingqing Sword made a circle in the air, and then landed on the snow.
Divine light goes out.
Gu Peijiu lowered her head slightly, forcibly unleashing the power of her soul, making her a little sluggish.
"Tsk... But killing people always requires a handy weapon, right?" Xia Wushuang smiled, went over to pick up the sword again, glanced at Gu Peiju, squinted his eyes and smiled, "This sword is stained with blood... Definitely, It must be very beautiful."
Holding the sword in one hand and the bamboo scabbard in the other, she licked the word "qing" engraved on the bamboo scabbard, and after being extremely provocative, she turned around and left.
Gu Peijiu knelt on the icy snow, looking in the direction she left.
… Not far from the foot of Lingxi Mountain, there is a small village.
... Definitely, definitely stop her! !
She absolutely, absolutely cannot—
Gu Peijiu tried hard to break free from the bondage of the word spirit, but the puppet master's "word spirit" was absolutely bound to the puppet, unless—
Someone came in the snow.
She raised her eyes, it was Su Chuan.
The girl in red clasped her hands, her face was a little pale, and she seemed to be struggling, hesitating about something.
"Have you seen her?" Gu Peijiu got straight to the point.
"..." Su Tan said, "I see."
"Why didn't you stop her?!" Gu Peijiu asked, "You know she—"
"Why should I stop her?" Su Chuan resented her taking it for granted, and asked her, "...that's what she wants to do, why should I stop her?"
Gu Peijiu said, "That's not her!!"
"...I can't tell the difference." Su Chan said, "Even if it's a curse, as long as she wants to do something, I..."
"That's not what she wants to do." Gu Peijiu stared at her, word by word, "That, no."
Su Chuan was irritated by Gu Peijiu's determined attitude: "You know her very well?! Why do you seem to know everything here—"
"I don't know her." Gu Peijiu said, "But I won't misunderstand her."
Su Lianqi laughed, and she mocked: "Then go for it! I won't do it anyway! What if I just kill a few ants and kill them all?! Even if they kill them all, she will always be her! and-"
"You're a lump of wood that can't do anything!"
She paused, and then said softly: "You know, I followed her down the mountain—the way she kills is really beautiful—"
"The screams of the villagers... The blood stained her clothes... The other side of the clothes..."
Gu Peijiu said angrily, "Shut up!!"
next moment!
The dark night sky blazed brilliantly, the blizzard was crazy, the evergreen trees were crumbling, the violent snowstorm rolled in, the white-robed puppet's forehead instantly lit up with mysterious symbols, and the dark eyes also lit up with abnormal blue starlight!
Su Zhan's pupils shrank, "What are you going to do!"
"I am a ruthless guest." The white-robed puppet murmured, "What I love is what I want."
"You want to lift the puppet curse?! Are you going to betray her?!" Su Tuan asked in shock.
Xia Wushuang had already handed over all the control of the puppets to Gu Peijiu. Once Gu Peijiu turned against the tide, it would not be an exaggeration to say that Xia Wushuang was a lamb to be slaughtered!
"Reverse the water? No..." Gu Peijiu said, "I want to... protect her."
As soon as the voice fell, the mysterious symbol on the forehead of the white-robed puppet shattered instantly!
Words fail!
Gu Peijiu's eyes flashed, and the next moment he disappeared!
Su tangled in place, clenching his fists tightly.
Blizzard.
In the village, the cries of children resounded in the sky, and people fled in a hurry. Xia Wushuang was carrying a bloody sword, and her blood pupils glowed with excitement. However, in the next moment, her pupils shrank slightly, and the sword in her hand suddenly swung backwards!
"boom-"
Snow splashed, frenzied waves swept around, houses collapsed, and people screamed!
"Damn it-"
"Ah, help, ah-"
"Someone slaughtered the village—"
In the surging wind and surging, Xia Wushuang's black hair was frantically curled, his blood pupils widened, and he looked at the puppet who was blocking the Qingqing Sword with one hand, "...Is it not able to trap you?"
Gu Peijiu said indifferently, "You, stop."
Xia Wushuang smiled, and the long sword slashed fiercely: "What are you! Forget it if you die."
These words have the power of words.
"Clang-"
Gu Peijiu caught the sword without changing his face, and said in a low voice, "...you should go back."
Xia Wushuang's pupils shrank slightly.
… the spirit of speech has failed
She was a little dazed and didn't quite understand why the word spirit that was 100% effective against this tricky watchdog suddenly lost all its effects.
At the moment when she was confused, the back of her neck hurt, her eyes darkened, and she instantly lost all consciousness.
Gu Peijiu picked up the person who was about to fall to the ground with one hand, picked up the sword on the ground, and while the people were still in a panic, a few teleportation disappeared.
The phantom disappeared.
Gu Peijiu looked at Doudou.
"After that..." Doudou's voice, "Su Chuan said I would definitely regret it."
"But I don't think it matters." Doudou said softly, "I love this person, because I love her, so I want to protect this person, her own world, and everything she wants to protect."
"… Only in this way."
"I just felt like I found myself..."
"I can feel free."
Gu Peijiu asked, "After breaking free from the puppet curse, didn't she find out?"
"I didn't find it." Doudou said: "After I woke up in Yundu, Xia Wushuang never used words to me."
Yan Ling could make the puppet obey, but after the puppet awakened and had feelings, Xia Wushuang never used it again for her.
She is true, she regards Gu Peijiu as a "companion", even if she occasionally complains that "it really is a puppet..." She doesn't understand her heart, but from the bottom of her heart she regards her as a "companion".
"... She sometimes doesn't want me to follow her, so she's just talking." Doudou said, "Yanling is the most direct thing to test a puppet and a puppet master, maybe... and feelings."
"The puppet will long for the absolute trust of the puppet master," Doudou said. "It will always, always, long for this."
Even if you are betrayed, even if your bonds are broken, even if you are reincarnated, even if you are ever-changing.
As long as she is still her Gu Peijiu.
She will hope that the person trusts her.
Gu Peijiu was slightly startled when she heard the words.
She remembered in a trance, not long after seeing Xia Wuyin...
She inexplicably hoped that this person could trust her.
"...So it is." Gu Peijiu said after a long time.
The words are divided into two parts.
After Xia Wushuang was rescued by Gu Peijiu, he felt that something was wrong, but Gu Peijiu fooled him.
Out of absolute trust in Gu Peijiu, Xia Wushuang, who didn't like to use words, didn't notice anything unusual.
It's just that Su Chuan is a little weird these days.
She would stare at her in the corner with very strange eyes. Before, when she saw Xia Wushuang, she would definitely run over and pull her sleeves to let her play with her, but now, she doesn't say a word.
Xia Wushuang felt a little confused.
"What's up with her?"
After Su Chuan avoided her for the nth time, Xia Wushuang asked Gu Peiju a little strangely.
Gu Peijiu paused and said in a low voice, "Maybe there is something I can't think of."
Xia Wushuang found it interesting, "This Lingxi Peak bird doesn't shit, what can she encounter that she can't think of?"
Gu Peijiu glanced at her without changing her face: "Who knows, maybe it's a demon."
"… "
Xia Wushuang felt that it was impossible to stay like this.
I found a sunny day and called Su Huan over.
"What are you busy with these days?"
She asked her with a smile.
Su Chuan looked at Gu Peijiu, who was silent behind her, and pursed her lips.
"Why don't you talk?" Xia Wushuang also knew that the two of them weren't in perfect harmony. Seeing her looking at Gu Peiju, he turned to look at her.
Gu Peijiu's face was expressionless.
Su Chuan suddenly said, "...I've been thinking about one thing these days."
Xia Wushuang turned his head back and looked at Su Chuan.
Su Chuan said, "I... Since the lower realms, I have always had an inner demon."
She stared at Xia Wushuang, "At first... I didn't care about it, but then it became more and more serious. It was so serious that I would be disturbed if I didn't pay attention, I would have trouble sleeping day and night, and I would think about it."
"It's like being sick."
Xia Wushuang said: "Ah? That's very serious? No, it's a disease. Are you okay? Would you like me to help you find a psychiatrist... No, do you want to find a doctor who understands it for you?"
"...As long as I figure it out." Su Chuang looked at her with a confused voice, "But I can't figure it out now."
- I can't figure out what you are like.
"I can't figure it out..." Xia Wushuang scratched his head, and then subconsciously looked at Gu Peiju behind him.
Gu Peijiu looked at her innocently.
Su Chuang's eyes dimmed slightly, and he didn't say anything, then turned around and was about to leave.
"Hey—" Xia Wushuang turned his head to keep him, but didn't know what to say, Su Chuan said as he walked, "I want to be alone for a while."
… OK.
After the people left, Gu Peijiu said, "I should wait for her to figure this out on her own."
"..." Xia Wushuang held his chin in both hands and looked out, "How do you say it?"
"It's not that I'm afraid she can't figure it out, I'm just afraid that if she figured it out, she'll be wrong."
Gu Peijiu was puzzled.
"Aran is a Fallen Angel, and her personality is inherently paranoid." Xia Wushuang said, "Although she is walking forward in a good way, once she goes the wrong way... no one will be able to pull her back."
Gu Peijiu was silent.
Xia Wushuang had just closed his mouth when he heard footsteps, and Su Tangzhe came back and asked her a question: "What do you want?"
Xia Wushuang was stunned for a moment, and after the stunned he was a little dumbfounded, "Are you really going to become a god and fulfill my wish?"
Su Chuan looked at her.
Xia Wushuang thought for a while, and said slyly, "I won't tell you."
Su Chuan frowned.
"If you want to know, you can go to the stone cliff and blow the wind for a while." Xia Wushuang said, "Well... I know you're not in the mood to eat, right? Then I'll go there and tell you when I'm in a good mood after eating. "
Su Chuan didn't speak, he turned his head and left.
Xia Wushuang said regretfully to Gu Peijiu, "Look at her, she really doesn't want to eat."
Gu Peijiu: "..."
The cliff is cold.
It looks wide.
Su Chuan sat on the stone cliff and looked at his hand.
She remembered what she had seen before.
The girl in white clothes stained with blood has a wild and evil smile, her eyes are cold, and the sword in her hand is like a knife, and the wave of her hand is death and disaster.
… doom.
In a pinch, the King of Chu could once again break through a small country, and he would be able to unify the continent.
And this should not have happened.
The one who first unified the continent should not be the princess of Chu, but a person surnamed Ye a long time later.
But everything has already happened, and what caused all this is the strange Xia Wushuang who changed the fate of the King of Chu against the sky.
Therefore, Tiandao imposed all punishments and sins on her alone.
Her existence is destined to set off endless blood and rain for the Chu country.
That is to say, success is also Xiao He, and Xiao He is also Xiao He.
And as a deity left behind, she has a way to save her...
Su Chuan lowered his head, and the palm of his white greasy light lit up slightly.
A bead slowly floated up from her palm, half as white as ice and snow, half as dark as night, the two intertwined in the middle, and a delicate blood color was dissolved.
Darkness represents disaster, and white represents blessing and light.
And the blood in the middle is her feelings.
This is her soul.
Pure Spirit Pearl.
The soul of the gods has the power to suppress evil, otherwise the piece of divine soul that Gu Peijiu put on the Sword of Inquiry will not suppress the misfortune.
When the power of blessing fills this bead, it can wash away all the curses and disasters in this world, including the curse of heaven.
But again, it also means…
"Is it nice here?"
The girl's voice sounded.
Su Zhan's pupils shrank slightly, and the Jingling Orb in her hand flashed away. She looked at the rolling mountains in the distance as if nothing had happened. It reflects some dazzling and gentle light, which is very beautiful.
"… not bad."
She didn't look back, just said.
"Are you in a better mood then?" Xia Wushuang found a clean place to sit down and handed over something, "Here."
The aroma of the sweet-scented osmanthus cake rippling from Xia Ge's palm, Su Chuan was slightly startled, looking at Xia Wushuang's fingertips stained with osmanthus cake crumbs, his heart moved slightly.
She took the sweet-scented osmanthus cake and took a bite silently.
"It is said that God does not eat or drink." Xia Wushuang crossed his legs, "It seems that the legends are all false."
Seeing that there was no Gu Peijiu behind Xia Wushuang, Su Chuan felt a lot more relaxed.
However, it didn't take long for her to think of Gu Peijiu's words.
—I don't know her, but I don't misunderstand her either.
It was this sentence that stuck in her heart like a thorn.
Difficulty sleeping.
When she came back to her senses, she retorted what Xia Ge said, "I am..."
She paused and swallowed the "demi-god" behind her.
In fact, he is no longer a demigod.
When she was punished and tortured by the heavenly way, the human half had long since degenerated into a demon.
She didn't realize it at first, and even thought she was a demigod.
But when she found out that whether it was a war or Xia Wushuang murdered—
She has no sympathy for humans.
Without the slightest sympathy, as a half of the same kind.
"What are you?" Xia Wushuang said after swallowing his sweet-scented osmanthus cake, smiling, "The little God of Fortune who haunts people?"
Su Chuan was a little depressed: "... No."
"Haha." Xia Wushuang smiled disinterestedly at Su Tan's answer, "I haven't experienced this thing, and I don't know what it is, but... Anyway, I guess I'll be in a bad mood."
She put her eyes away and looked at the overlapping mountains in the distance, "But it's okay, I'm in a bad mood. Just sit here and be quiet for a while and it will be much better."
"... Whether it's missing, liking, or whatever."
"It's been a long time, I'll let it go slowly."
Su Chuan stared at her and asked, "What if you can't let it go?"
"Ha, aren't you talking about inner demons? Why are you talking about things that you can't let go of? You can pass me the test." Xia Wushuang smiled, "But I think, there is nothing in this world that can't be let go. "
"If you can't let it go, it must not be long enough."
Su Chuan said to himself, "... Time, not long enough?"
"Think about it, you must have had a lot of things you couldn't let go of before—you must have! Anyone can have it! Think about it? Oh sorry I forgot you're not a human... oh no, well, think about it anyway. "
Su Chuan thought.
Although she is not a person, there are indeed things she can't let go.
When I was young.
She didn't understand the disgusting eyes of other gods, but she just hoped that the father and mother would look at her more.
Later, when she grew up, mortals began to believe in herself. She hoped that she could do her job well, so that everyone would not be disappointed...
…
All are obsessions.
But slowly, things that once seemed very important are guarded in the bottom of my heart, and things that seem to be unable to let go, slowly become covered with a layer of reality and the flow of time. Dust has become a dispensable thing in life.
... slowly, let it go.
Xia Wushuang said, "Yes?"
Su Chuan nodded slightly.
"Then do you still care?"
Su Chuan shook his head.
Time is far away, and the regrets and right and wrong at that time have no meaning to be pursued.
"Look, the things that I thought I couldn't put down at the time became nothing after a long time." Xia Wushuang said.
Saying that, it also aroused her own thoughts.
She remembered that she liked the Barbie doll of the neighbor girl when she was a child, but her family was very poor at that time and could not afford it, so the little Barbie when she was a child became a white moonlight that she couldn't put down, and she forgot about it. No.
But when you grow up and have the money to buy a truckload of Barbie dolls, you can also buy a truckload and lose a truckload.
She suddenly felt bored.
There is a time at a time that can't be put down. When the best time has passed, the things that can't be put down will naturally be slowly put down.
Devilish or not.
Time is the best weapon.
Su Chuan looked at the sweet-scented osmanthus cake in his hand.
"... different." She heard her own voice, "this, it's different."
"I think... this, I probably can't let go of anything."
Xia Wushuang: "...then get some sleep."
Su Chuan said, "I can't sleep without tossing and turning."
Xia Wushuang: "The way you sleep is different, I'll teach you, think like this - you think, you can fulfill your wishes in your dreams when you sleep, and then think this way before going to sleep - whatever I want, a good night's sleep After waking up, Santa Claus... No, when you wake up, you can do whatever you want."
Xia Wushuang silently swallowed the sentence "Santa Claus can deliver it to me".
Su Chuan: "..."
Su Chuan lowered his eyelashes, "It would be great if that was the case."
"Yes, yes." Xia Wushuang talked for a long time, and finally returned to the topic, "... Having said that, what is your inner demon?"
"I... A long time ago, there was someone in my heart that I couldn't let go of." Su Ran paused and looked into the distance, "Then..."
Think of the blood-stained sword of the blood-eyed girl.
Su Chuan lowered her eyelashes.
She didn't do what she was supposed to do.
"…I feel very uneasy."
Xia Wushuang heard Su Chuan's words without end, but she understood that Su Chuan didn't want to say more, and didn't force her to say, "...Is there a demon in this way?"
"Save her, I'm sorry for myself." Su Chuan murmured, "But if I don't save her, I'm sorry for my heart."
Oh, this is still a story about whether a hero wants to save Mei.
Xia Wushuang: "...but the price is different for me."
Su Chuan said, "There is a difference."
She looked out at the mountains. "Because I'm… well now."
She is neither a god who wants blessings for the common people, nor a curse full of hatred. She is like a person, and she is not a person.
Because there is this person by my side.
She wanted to... always, always be by her side like this.
"Then how did you choose?" Xia Wushuang asked.
Su Chuan didn't explicitly say what the difference was between this choice, Xia Wushuang simply asked directly.
"Guess what." Su Chen smiled.
"Well..." Xia Wushuang thought for a while and said, "I think you will save her... You will choose the former, um, for sure."
Su Chuan said, "You are wrong."
"I chose the latter."
Xia Wushuang held his forehead: "… Can you not dismantle the stage?"
Su Yan smiled, "Why do you think I would choose the former?"
Xia Wushuang sneered: "Intuitive, haha, it doesn't seem to be very accurate."
Su Chuan suddenly said, "...Then what do you want?"
Xia Wushuang was stunned.
"If you say I'm here, you'll tell me what you want." Su Ran paused, then changed his words, "Or, you can't let it go."
Xia Wushuang didn't speak, and finished the sweet-scented osmanthus cake slowly.
Then he pretended to be affectionate and said, "Of course I can't let go of this commoner."
Su Chuan: "..."
Xia Wushuang: "You still ask me what I want, I can't hold it anymore."
You are not pretending.
Su Yu thought.
But he still asked kindly, "What do you want?"
Xia Wushuang said, "... I used to want to be with someone, but after a long time, I stopped thinking about it."
Su Chuan knew who she was talking about.
"Because let it go... So, there's nothing else I want." Xia Wushuang said, "But it's a bit weird to do nothing, so you can only create some value for yourself."
She stood up and clapped the crumbs of the sweet-scented osmanthus cake on her hands, "You ask me what I can't put down is worthless."
"… "
She reached out to Su Chuan.
A breeze blows.
Su Chuan was slightly startled, and stretched out his hand. Xia Wushuang pulled her up and said, "The important thing is you."
- What matters is your own thoughts.
She pointed to the mountains and mountains, as if pointing to a new and unexplored world.
She looked at it and said with emotion: "Look, how high is this mountain, how beautiful is this water, how big is this continent."
"The world is so big, why are you so narrow-minded? Do you have to live or die for one person?"
Warm hands.
Su Zhan looked at her blankly.
Xia Wushuang looked back and said in a clear voice, "I will let go of my inner demons sooner or later."
"Trust me, one day, you won't be trapped by your inner demons."
"At that time, the sea will be wide and the fish will leap, and the sky will be high enough for the birds to fly!!"
Su Tang stared at her blankly, and at that moment, the world was blank, and it seemed that there was only this person in her eyes.
She laughed and scolded, with high spirits, a few words can make people feel full of sunshine.
And Xia Wushuang will never know.
that moment.
She became her, real, unstoppable inner demon.
