Bai Zihua wrote some scriptures that You Ruo didn't know at all on a stone that looked like jade but not jade with a vermilion pen. You Ruo was absent-mindedly grinding the cinnabar while adding the blood of the black bird as ordered, with a look of hesitation.
Bai Zihua didn't raise his head, "If you have anything to say, just say it."
She had been peeking at him with that strange look all morning, as if she had never known him.
You Ruo grinned and said, "My lord, why didn't you ask me what happened yesterday?"
Bai Zihua paused his pen. He asked if it was useful. This girl came to Changliu Mountain for Xiaogu from the beginning. It was obvious that the two of them reached a consensus and colluded after meeting yesterday. Since Xiao Gu wanted him not to remember anything, how could he let You Ruo speak out, could he still beat her into a trick
Seeing that Bai Zihua was silent, different from last night, with his usual high and inviolable appearance, a trace of narrowness flashed in You Ruo's eyes, he deliberately lowered his head and blushed and said, "T-I really didn't expect Your Majesty to be so enthusiastic." The unrestrained side…”
Bai Zihua drank the tea in his mouth and almost spit it out, choked twice, trying to calm himself down. He only knows that he has not lost his true body, and that he has not become so demonic that he has done anything wrong with Xiao Gu, but he is not quite sure how far he has gone too far. When You Ruo, who is his disciple, said this, he couldn't help but become more suspicious, more depressed and more embarrassed.
He has always had great confidence in himself, but after the gaffe when he was poisoned last time, and he had to rely on Xiaogu to cover up his ugliness with contemplation, this time he inevitably felt even more uneasy about things that were completely out of his control and had been forgotten.
Even if I was possessed by demons at that time, lost my mind and was out of control, it wasn't my true intention, but in the end, if I was wrong, I was wrong.
You Ruo saw that his eyes were gloomy for a moment, and she felt guilty and remorseful, and asked tentatively: "Your Majesty, when will Master be able to reject the Palace of Love?"
Even though he didn't say it, His Majesty cared about Master more than anyone else, and hoped that Master would come back. But why do you always have to be so heartless? She couldn't figure it out.
Bai Zihua looked at her seriously: "You Ruo, do you know who your master is now?"
You Ruo lowered his head: "Demon God..."
"Then do you think it's possible for her to return to Changliu Mountain?"
"But honor you—"
"Do you think that I didn't drive her out of the teacher's school so that she could come back one day to leave a way out?"
You Ruo looked at him earnestly and nodded repeatedly: "And your lord, haven't you been working hard to find a way to separate the seal of the demon god's power without hurting Master?"
Bai Zihua put down his ink brush, his expression was indifferent.
"First of all, I didn't drive her out because I didn't think about the relationship between master and apprentice, but to leave a little hope in her heart, a way out, and a light, so that she will at least have some consideration in her future actions, and take into account her future. You also care about the common people. If you remember, no matter how kind and gentle people are in the world, they can’t stand too much grievance and pain. There must be a limit to everything, and punishment is the same. The new people also become cruel and crazy. Things are turned against each other, jade and stone are destroyed. Despair is a terrible thing, and once you make your master feel that you are abandoned by the world, it will only push her to go on the road of demon god. So don't think I am merciful, I Just looking at the bigger picture.
Secondly, even for the sake of the overall situation, before your master really became a demon god, even she didn't give up on herself, but it's wrong for us to give up on her and want to kill her. True righteousness cannot be predicated on sacrificing the ego. But your master made a big mistake, and you have to take responsibility yourself. It can be said that death is not a pity. So when everything is irreversible, I will definitely kill her with my own hands without hesitation. "
You Ruo trembled all over, cold sweat covered his forehead. She used to think that the lord was too far away to get close to him, but for the first time, she found that his thoughts were like a sea, and his words and deeds contained too much deep meaning, which was really scary.
Knowing that with Master's character, as long as she knows that she still has a little hope to return to Changliu and return to Zunshang's side, she will work hard desperately. He will not fall, admit defeat, give up, and will not be easily swayed by the power of the demon god. Has Your Majesty seen through the depth of Master's love for him long ago, and that's why he has been using it to guide her and tie her down
After last night, she had just managed to guess that maybe His Majesty also liked Master a little bit more than just a master-student relationship, but now it was completely lost.
The world is unpredictable, although it is impossible for everything to happen within His Majesty's expectation. But the Master was completely understood by the Venerable, no matter how hard he looked, he couldn't find his Five Fingers Mountain. However, once this kind of control is about to be lost, His Majesty will clench his fists mercilessly, crushing Master to death like an ant.
You Ruo's back feels cool. I don't understand that since Your Majesty understands people's hearts and human nature so well, and he clearly said that exterminating them will only drive the master who wants to go back to the beginning, why is he always so unfeeling to her
"Master still has reason and has not been controlled by the demon power. He wants to come back. Can't he make up for his mistakes and give him a lenient sentence?"
Bai Zihua shook his head: "You Ruo, you don't know your master. The Nanwuyue Immortal Realm will definitely be eliminated. Your master had the opportunity to make up for his mistakes in the ruins cave, but he never succeeded. On the contrary, his relationship with him is getting deeper and deeper. You Do you think that with her present ability, she is still willing to capture Nan Wuyue obediently and return to Changliu to be punished, and to watch Nan Wuyue die?"
Looking at Bai Zihua, You Ruo suddenly shuddered, and stared at him with wide eyes in horror: "It turns out that Your Majesty has already decided..."
Bai Zihua didn't speak, since Xiaogu possessed the power of the demon god, there can only be three final fates, either separate the power of the demon god, or be imprisoned, or die. However, since ancient times, the struggle for the power of the demon gods can only be achieved by killing and robbing the demon gods before they take shape, and after that, they have to use the art of intercourse between yin and yang. So what to say is that it is impossible to separate the demon power, and he does not allow it. Changing from one demon god to another is also a temporary solution, not a root cause. Expelling her to the wilderness is equivalent to imprisoning her, at least she still has a way to survive, and from the moment she returns to the Six Realms, she is doomed to die.
Back in Maoshan, Dongfang Yuqing gave Hua Qiangu some secret decoction, coupled with the power of the demon god, the multiple bone wounds on his body began to heal at an accelerated rate, but as usual, no matter how fast it healed, the scars and No less pain. Listening to the creaking sound of the bones in the body, it was like a broken machine. Already accustomed to such pain beyond the limit of ordinary people's tolerance, Hua Qiangu's complexion was pale, he bit his lower lip tightly and kept silent, and his head was covered with cold sweat.
After all, it is not steel and iron, repeated dizziness and waking up in pain, like the body of a smashed clay doll being pinched and reshaped, after a whole afternoon of tossing, it finally healed seven or eighty-eight. Drowsily falling asleep on the bed, I don't know how many hours passed, and heard Dongfang Yuqing leaning over and whispering in his ear: "Qingshui, Luo Shiyi, and Xuanyuan Lang are here."
Most of his mind was awake in an instant, and he opened his eyes and struggled to sit up. Dongfang Yuqing hurriedly helped her up: "Don't worry, I said you fell asleep, they are still outside the door."
Hua Qiangu looked around hurriedly, feeling a little nervous. Knowing her concerns, Dongfang Yuqing took the thin mask from the side: "Do you want to put it on?"
Hua Qiangu thought for a while, Xuanyuan Lang also came, and shook his head lightly: "It's better not to use it, that's it."
Dongfang Yuqing opened the door to let Qing Shui and the others in. Luo Shiyi couldn't wait to step into the door, and before taking a few steps, a soft green thing stuck to his face. He took Tang Bao down and smiled softly and lovingly. Walking to Hua Qiangu's bedside, he was full of joy at this hard-won reunion, but when he looked up, he saw Hua Qiangu's face which had already changed beyond recognition. solidification.
And Xuanyuan Lang and Qing Shui who entered after them even staggered back, almost unable to stand still.
Luo Shiyi knew at a glance that it was the water from the Juqing Pond, and that it was the Sansheng Pond that Hua Qiangu took her to when he first came to Changliu Mountain. But it never occurred to him that Hua Qiangu, who had no greed, desire, and heartlessness back then, would now suffer the punishment of rotting flesh and bones in the unfeeling pool, and ended up like this.
Grief-stricken, she turned her face away, thinking back to the scene when she raised her innocent face and talked to herself when she first met, she almost couldn't breathe.
Tears were already streaming down Qing Shui's face, he stepped forward a few steps, holding Hua Qiangu and weeping until he couldn't make a sound.
Xuanyuan Lang didn't know what the unfeeling pool in Changliu Mountain was, he only knew that Hua Qiangu's appearance was destroyed. Standing on the spot in a daze, thousands of words were choked in his throat, and he couldn't say a word.
Hua Qiangu tried her best to raise the corners of her mouth, afraid that everyone would not see that she was smiling. He patted Qing Shui on the back and comforted him in a low voice, since he is a cultivator, why should he bother with this fleshy skin. Qingshui couldn't stop crying, her clothes were wet with tears, her hands stopped in the air but she didn't dare to touch her face.
"Don't cry, you want to flood the Wanfu Palace, don't you? It's been a long time since we met, you should be happy!"
Hua Qiangu hugged Qingshui tightly helplessly, Luo Shixi stroked her head in distress, and didn't know what to say for a while.
Hua Qiangu looked at Xuanyuan Lang who was still in a daze and couldn't help laughing: "What's the matter, Brother Lang, didn't you say that it doesn't matter whether Qian Gu is a man or a woman or looks like a human being?" Even if I look like a pig's head, won't you dislike me? Now you don't even recognize me?"
Xuanyuan Lang felt sour in his heart and almost burst into tears. Thinking of the suffering she has suffered in the past year, guilt and self-blame are overwhelming. I clearly promised to protect her well! But in the end nothing can be done...
His body was as heavy as mercury, and he walked up to her step by step, holding her hand tightly. Hua Qiangu felt him trembling, obviously she couldn't bear to look at it, but she stared at her face firmly, as if she wanted to burn something in her heart.
Several people talked about the situation of this year, and Hua Qiangu also told them in detail what happened in the wilderness this year. It was getting dark after dinner, and it was time for the three of them to leave.
"Brother Lang, I have a few words to tell you." Hua Qiangu said suddenly.
Everyone went out first, leaving the two of them in the room.
Xuanyuan Lang wanted to hug her as usual, but suddenly felt that he was not qualified. She has always been arrogant and conceited, but she has never done anything for her, not even being able to accompany her. This kind of helplessness is more self-defeating than any failure.
Although Hua Qiangu couldn't feel the pain and anger in his heart at this moment, she could also vaguely feel his self-blame. She patted him on the shoulder, smiling and comforting.
"Brother Lang, everything comes with karma. This is the punishment I deserve. There is nothing to be sad about. Although I escaped from the wilderness, I have been restless these days and always have ominous premonitions. Xiaoyue is my master." Bringing him up is like my child. He has never done anything wrong. Even if I lose my life, I must find a way to save him. So from now on, it is inevitable that I will be the enemy of the six realms. I am guilty of it. It doesn’t matter whether you are alive or dead, but there are still too many things I can’t let go of. Xiaoyue Dongfang can help me take care of her in the future, and Tang Bao is also in the eleventh place. I can only entrust Qingshui to you. She loves you deep..."
Xuanyuan Lang interrupted her, frowned and said: "Qiangu, are you confessing your last words? Or, after saving Xiaoyue, do you want to apologize with death?"
"No, once a person has too many thoughts and entanglements, he will become greedy for life and fear of death, just like I know that I am a disaster and should stay in the wilderness obediently, but I can't help but want to come back and come back to see you. But the future The danger is uncertain, and if I want to save Xiaoyue and fight against the entire Six Realms, I don't have the confidence to retreat unscathed. If anything happens, Qingshui can only ask you to take care of me, and I don't have any worries anymore."
Xuanyuan Lang looked at Hua Qiangu firmly: "I will do my best to take care of her and protect her, but Qiangu you have to remember, the person I like has always been you."
Hua Qiangu shook his head faintly: "Brother Lang, the person you like is not me. We haven't spent much time together in so many years, and we don't know each other well. The momentary heartbeat is not love, you are just being attracted by the youthful love. Feeling so confused that I can no longer see the other. We are both obsessive people, but you have always been competitive and used to persistence. I am not so much a beloved person to you as a belief and Symbol. Brother Lang, instead of ignoring the happiness and true love at your fingertips, and continuing to stubbornly cling to the illusory illusions and dreams of your youth, you should calm down and think about what you have always wanted."
Xuanyuan Lang froze, his head was slammed with a sap. But still stubbornly took two steps back: "Qiangu, you are not me, you will not understand my feelings. I have never done anything for you, and I don't expect anything in return. I only want you to understand my heart. Now you It doesn't matter if you don't believe me, one day you will understand. Take care... "
"Brother Lang!"
Hua Qiangu stretched out her hand but failed to grab his gorgeous satin sleeve, Xuanyuan Lang walked out without looking back. Under the plum blossom tree not far away, Qingshui stood quietly waiting for him.
"Is Qiangu alright?"
"fine."
"I really admire her, she is so optimistic and strong in everything. If my face..." Qingshui reached out to touch his face with lingering fear, and couldn't help shivering. Now the unfeeling pool water is also poison to me.
"She might have some plans in her heart, but she didn't say anything. She just asked me to take good care of you."
Qing Shui was taken aback.
Xuanyuan Lang looked up into her eyes, ignoring the pain in his heart, and said in a low voice: "But, I like Qiangu, and I will always guard her. Now that her appearance has been destroyed, she is burdened with the power of a demon god, and she is full of dangers and difficulties. I Let alone abandon her. Qingshui, I hope you understand."
Qingshui looked at his eyes that had finally loosened after getting along for a whole year and became more and more gentle. At this moment, it was full of firmness and no regrets. Knowing that his mind was determined, he couldn't help but shake his head with a wry smile.
"Do you know why Qiangu's appearance was ruined? It's the unfeeling pool in Changliu Mountain. The stronger the love, the more serious the injury. Qiangu can be hurt like that, which shows how deeply she loves. Even if she likes someone else, Don't you care at all?"
Surprise and pain flashed in Xuanyuan Lang's eyes, but he still shook his head slowly: "I know, the person she likes is Bai Zihua. I already vaguely guessed it on Taibai Mountain. I only want her to be happy, and I don't care about the rest."
Qing Shui sighed, and his eyes became more and more sad: "Okay, she doesn't care, you don't care, and I don't care. Then let's wait together, until one day, one of us will really wake up."
Dongfang Yuqing pushed the door open and looked at Hua Qiangu, frowning and sitting on the bed, not knowing what to do.
"Dongfang, did I say something wrong just now?"
Dongfang Yuqing smiled inscrutablely: "That's right, you have a much clearer understanding of emotional matters than before, but you still need a little time to deal with it. Do you think that Xuanyuan Lang will retreat if you are disfigured? If you wake him up, he will be able to face it when he knows his true intentions? If you entrust him with sincerity, he will be willing to be with Qingshui? Emotional matters, how can it be so easy. With Xuanyuan Lang's character, it may backfire. "
"Ah? Then what should we do?" Hua Qiangu was at a loss.
Dongfang Yuqing patted her head: "You can't even take care of yourself, don't worry about Qingshui anymore. She is much more mature and stable than you, she knows what she wants and how to fight for it. It's not like you, silly. You think you have sacrificed all of yourself, so you call it quits?"
Hua Qiangu lowered her head: "This is the only thing I can do. Dongfang, where is Xiaoyue, when are we going to rescue him?"
"You haven't healed yet, wait until the injury heals."
Hua Qiangu lifted up his sleeves: "Look, he's almost healed. Let's get ready, the sooner we rescue him, the better. There's not much time left. I'm always scared these days, and dream about it every night. Xiaoyue cried and called me, and I don't know how much he has suffered this year."
Dongfang Yuqing sighed: "No matter how anxious you are, you have to wait until tomorrow, you should sleep well first."
"The two of us going secretly?"
"Of course, you know it's a trap, why don't you drag two more people to die together?"
"trap?!"
"Sha Qianmo and I have tried to save him many times, and with so many people trying to compete for the power of the demon god, how could there be no traps. Besides, Mo Yan already knew that you were back, so he naturally set up a net to wait for you I went to save people. But even if it is a trap, it is better than a face-to-face confrontation during execution. The enemy is outnumbered. So this time, no matter what, we have to break through."
"Then tell me where I am. I'll go alone. I have the power of a demon god, so I can run faster."
"Fool, how could I let you take risks alone, not to mention that those trap formations can't be broken through with strength alone. You are so stupid, how can you do it without my guidance. If you can handle it, if you are afraid, Bai Zihua will do it himself..."
