It was already late at night when I came out of the retreat, and suddenly found that there was an extra person in the Prajna Hall. Could it be that Bai Zihua is here? No, not him. Pushing open the door of the inner room, I was surprised to see Mo Bingxian sitting in front of the desk looking out of the window in a daze.
"Why are you here?"
"why you?"
The two asked together, Hua Qiangu seemed a little embarrassed.
Mo Bingxian looked at her, the corners of his mouth slightly raised: "So you are a demon god, Zhuran asked me to sleep with you."
If Hua Qiangu had tea in his mouth, he would definitely spit it out. His tone of voice was too calm, but he must be full of anger and hatred in his heart, right
"I'm sorry, he didn't mean to humiliate you, but he just likes to tease me when he has nothing to do, to see how I am embarrassed."
tease? Mo Bingxian frowned, anyone could see clearly Zhuran's obedience and injustice, and the mutual use between the two, why should she put on an air in front of others? And she is a majestic monster, why does she always say sorry to people. I've only met twice, and she's already told him twice. Is that pure and innocent look, even with an idiotic blank look, what a demon god should have? I really don't understand whether this woman is too deep in the city or too stupid and too real. How did she become a demon god? Just rely on that innocent look to seduce men
"Go back to Shushan, I will tell him, he will not threaten you again."
"You hate me?" Mo Bingxian took two steps forward and stood in front of her.
Hua Qiangu was a little out of breath under his shadow, her figure, her clean and refreshing smell all resembled Bai Zihua.
"No."
"Then why did you drive me away?" There was a hint of resentment and teasing in his tone.
Hua Qiangu was slightly surprised, he couldn't be flirting with her, didn't he hate her
"I don't want to force you." Her heart was trembling, what was she afraid of? Afraid that I am too weak at this time, afraid that I suddenly want to find someone to rely on? She won't be moved when facing other people, she is already heartbroken when facing Bai Zihua, but what should she do when facing someone like Bai Zihua...
"You didn't ask me to do anything, how could you force me. I said it's the same everywhere, can you play chess?"
The turning point was too fast, Hua Qiangu couldn't react.
"meeting."
Mo Bingxian was used to her dull and slow speech, so he played chess with her with great interest, but he didn't expect that she was not stupid in chess.
"Bai Zihua taught you?"
"Well?"
"Wasn't Bai Zihua your master before?" Mo Bingxian saw her frowning, as if trying to remember.
"At first, my dad taught me, but I didn't learn well. Later, he taught me again. I also read the chess records of "Qijuepu"."
Mo Bingxian raised his eyebrows, feeling that it seemed strange that a demon god also had a father. He was slightly uncomfortable as the image he had heard of being completely demonized was becoming more and more like an ordinary person.
"Although I know you won't be hungry, but do you want to eat? My cooking skills are very good." Mo Bingxian looked out the window at the sky, and the cloud palace gradually began to glow.
"I can conjure whatever you want to eat."
"Things like that don't taste good. You have to do everything yourself to experience the joy and taste. Where is the kitchen?"
Hua Qiangu seemed to see Bai Zihua standing in front of her again, teaching her earnestly, but the person in front of her was warm and kind, and she could touch it with her hand.
Mo Bingxian quickly prepared a few side dishes. It's simple and nothing fancy, but light and refreshing. Hua Qiangu felt her taste buds wake up one after another, she hasn't had a good meal for a long time. When I was with Bai Zihua before, I always thought of Tang Bao, and the more I ate, the more uncomfortable I became.
"It turns out that lilies can be fried like this."
"I'm messing around, and sometimes I create some dishes when I have nothing to do."
"Do you often cook for yourself?"
"Well, although it's not necessary, but for so many years, I have eaten three meals a day on time, so that I feel that I still have flesh and blood to truly live. But basically I am alone, and I can get away with just two dishes."
"one person?"
Mo Bingxian nodded, like a thousand years of snow in Han Xing's eyes. From very early on, he was alone.
Hua Qiangu kept talking as if his eyes were drifting like sleepwalking: "My craftsmanship is also very good. I used to make things for everyone to eat. No one has ever made food for me. Let me do it tonight."
Mo Bingxian looked at her and nodded slightly.
So naturally, Mo Bingxian stayed in the Prajna Hall, Hua Qiangu didn't say anything, the two seemed like friends for many years, sometimes they played chess, sometimes they played the piano. Mo Bingxian is indifferent, and his attitude is often very ambiguous. Hua Qiangu didn't hide her love and preferential treatment for him, almost obeying his words. But the days of her retreat are getting longer and longer, and her spirit is getting more and more in a trance.
"Let's go for a walk today." Hua Qiangu turned her pale face out of the window, her eyelashes trembling slightly, like the wings of a butterfly.
"It's snowing outside."
Hua Qiangu flicked his fingers, and in the blink of an eye the sky was already clear. Mo Bingxian smiled helplessly: "Where do you want to go?"
The two flew towards the East China Sea, and Mo Bingxian thought, does she want to go back to Changliu? But they stopped on an island not far from Changliu, surrounded by flowers.
"This place is called Huadao. I used to come here with a friend. I didn't expect the flowers to bloom so luxuriantly in such a cold day."
"There is a strong protective spell here. Your friend must hope that you can see so many blooming flowers every time you come."
Hua Qiangu nodded, lay on her back among the green grass and flowers, and closed her eyes. Mo Bingxian was almost bewildered by the beautiful scene in front of her. The sea was blue and the sky was wide, and she was like an elf among the flowers.
The biting cold wind gradually became milder, he looked at the sea and sky, and Mo Yan's words rang in his ears.
—The power of the demon god can be transferred, which means that no matter how powerful it is, it has a limit, and it cannot be inexhaustible. Although Hua Qiangu's god body is the best container to carry the power of the demon, and can continuously create and regenerate the consumed power, but it takes time and energy after all. Even if we can't transfer her demon power again, as long as we attack her when she is weakest, we can still injure her severely, seal the demon power again, and kill her with ease. The problem is that she doesn't even have to take action to regain the six realms, all relying on Zhuran and her demons, which don't consume much power at all, so she can only turn to Mo Bingxian for help.
Mo Bingxian let out a long sigh, actually putting all the hopes of the Six Realms on others. Although he doesn't like being a hero to save the world, he never likes to lose. His back is rustling, and his straight spine is like an unsheathed sword. Walking over slowly, stretching out her hand, Mo Bingxian looked at the blooming ice lotus in her palm, took it over and smelled it, then raised the corners of her mouth and smiled.
Hua Qiangu was in a trance again, Mo Bingxian was used to seeing all kinds of women always looking at him infatuatedly, Hua Qiangu's obsession with him made him a little pleased and a little annoyed, because what he saw in his eyes was fundamental. Just another person.
"Let's go back." Just as Hua Qiangu was about to turn around, Mo Bingxian suddenly held her hand, and instinctively wanted to withdraw it, but Mo Bingxian took her into the air.
No more words, just let him hold him, his slender jade fingers are cool and strong, his arms are numb, something is dissipating and disintegrating, breaking into air. It turns out that this is his ability, and this is the reason why he came here, Hua Qiangu looked at Mo Bing's fairy eyes, with a wry smile on his face, but the hand held by him in this world would not be willing to let go, Even if the soul flies away.
When he landed, his face turned even paler, Mo Bingxian let go, and looked at it with Xie twitching lips. Hua Qiangu knew what he meant, but didn't say anything, and said slowly, "I'm going to retreat." Then he headed into the huge ice cellar underground.
Mo Bingxian saw that she seemed to have expected it long ago, but still seemed indifferent, and frowned slightly. What kind of woman is this? It's just that, no matter what, he won't show mercy. Crush the ice lotus with one hand, the flower juice splashed everywhere, wiped it with a little disgust, and strode over the remaining petals thrown on the ground.
When I woke up at night, I felt that there was someone behind me gently sticking to me. Bai Zihua
She turned around, and Mo Bingxian was looking at her with her head tilted.
"You slept so hard, didn't you pay attention at all, so many people are going to kill you." One hand lifted her strands of hair and tied them behind her ears, her eyes were so gentle that it made people intoxicated.
Hua Qiangu's eyes were sleepy, and she shook her head dully: "I don't like to live in fear." There is indeed nothing to guard against, maybe she used to be guarded against, but after becoming a demon god, she no longer cares about her surroundings, maybe because she knows that there is no one. People can really hurt her, or maybe it's because they subconsciously hope that someone will come and kill the demon god.
"Why did you come running here?" Hua Qiangu was still tired and wanted to continue sleeping. Although it was known in Yungong that he was the new male favourite, Mo Bingxian had always slept next door.
"I'm here to do what I have to do."
"Do you mean sleep with me or kill me?"
Mo Bingxian smiled: "When did you know that I came to kill you?"
"When you stayed instead of leaving, or when you saw it for the first time. If it wasn't for some other purpose, how could Zhuran coerce you. I just thought that the fairy world racked its brains and finally sent you. What is it? Figured out something."
"And then you know?"
"Almost, it's really powerful."
"It's just that I have a special physique, and I haven't practiced the Five Elements Technique. I prefer to specialize in some strange magic techniques that have been lost. People in the fairy world think that I am too evil, and they hate me and are afraid of me."
"Can you absorb all the mana, including my demon power?"
"It's not absorption. I can't eat that much, and my body can't afford it. It's just dissolving, like a transformation of energy, melting it back into the wind, rain, lightning, and air in nature."
"fantastic."
Mo Bingxian fell into memories, and chuckled: "Yeah, I have never lost a fight since I was a child, and anyone who encounters me will lose strength. In the past, my fellow apprentices always said that I was lazy, and I won without a fight."
"Can I control myself?" Hua Qiangu frowned worriedly.
"Control and choice of a non-contact nature."
"That is to say, all the power will be dispelled by you in direct contact?"
"Yes, the power of the demon god is no exception."
"Is there no way to stop?"
"If you don't touch him, you will naturally stop. Otherwise, you will die. So my mother was exhausted before she gave birth to me." Naturally, no one dared to hug or touch him since he was a child.
Hua Qiangu suddenly understood where the occasional loneliness and desolation in his eyes came from. His life was longer than theirs, so he must have suffered more.
Hua Qiangu reached out to hold him, yawned and fell asleep again.
Mo Bingxian stared at her face with unfathomable eyes: "You know the consequences, but you are still willing to be touched by me?"
"I'm a demon god, I'm very strong." Hua Qiangu looked at him comfortingly and grinned, Mo Bingxian's heart trembled violently.
"For the sake of the fish and geese in this world, you'd better smile less."
Hua Qiangu was stunned for a while, and finally realized his teasing, and couldn't help laughing again.
Hearing Hua Qiangu wake up, Mo Bingxian put down the scroll and looked up from the desk.
The dazed look of rubbing her eyes was too childlike, he frowned, and suddenly wanted to know what happened to make her into a demon god.
Hua Qiangu sat down in front of the makeup mirror, and Mo Bingxian naturally picked up the comb and combed it gently for her, quiet and warm. Hua Qiangu stared blankly at Mo Bingxian in the mirror, her heart soaked like water. It would be nice, if only he could stay by my side forever, if these were real and not a show...
"I've always been very surprised. I haven't found any interest in killing or any ambitions for the Six Realms since I came here for so long, but why would I tolerate a person like Zhuran doing evil everywhere."
Hua Qiangu looked at herself in the mirror, that face was so beautiful and so strange, who was that woman
"Zhuran, he is the only one who stays by my side. Over the years, whether in the wild or after becoming a demon god, he is always with me in the most difficult times. The six realms have nothing to do with him, but he is important to me. of."
Savage? Depend on each other? She has such deep gratitude to Zhuran? It seems that there are too many things he doesn't know. Tell yourself not to have any interest in her, the only thing he needs to do is to make her obsessed with him, and he doesn't need to know anything about her past. Now it can actually affect his emotions, which makes him a little worried.
"Then why don't you care about bamboo dyeing raging in the Six Realms, even Changliu, but only protect the Maoshan faction. Nowadays, everyone is hiding in Maoshan, and Maoshan has almost become the base camp for counterattacking you."
Hua Qiangu sighed softly, "I'll tell you a story. I once had a friend who grew up with his senior brother as siblings. The senior brother took care of him and doted on him, and went through life and death several times for him. But one day When he was not around, his senior brother suddenly joined with a gang of demons to kill their master and all the senior brothers, almost destroying the entire division. He has been refusing to believe it, and wanted to ask his senior brother to ask him face to face. But it is true that we will meet again On that day, he discovered that the face under the mask of the senior brother was exactly the same as his own. It turned out that the senior brother was a twin brother who was born a little later than him, and he could only exist as his shadow for the rest of his life. It turned out that the senior brother hated him to the core. All the behaviors of loving him and saving him are only out of the instinct of last resort, not my own will. It turns out that the senior brother deceived the teacher and killed the family just because he couldn't directly hurt him, so he could only beat around the bush to get revenge on him. It turns out that the senior brother has been living in pain for so many years , and he knew nothing about it."
"Are you talking about Yunyin, the former leader of the Maoshan Sect?"
Hua Qiangu nodded, his expression became sad and somewhat mocking: "Yunyin, who knew everything, spent the next few years thinking about how to break the taboo of blood, and finally he found the only way, which can Let Yunyi not be tired by himself and get real freedom, but he has to die. After death, Yunyi can truly have his own life, so... "
"So he died?"
Hua Qiangu nodded: "I'm not surprised at what Yunyin will do. Yunyi is the most important person in the world to him, how can he bear his pain, and how can he bear his hatred for him. But... the ties are already gone It was resolved, why did Yunyi follow him to death in the end? Zhuran said that he snatched Yunyin's body from Maoshan, ran wildly for seven days and seven nights, and then committed suicide on the cliff of Siguo in Maoshan, holding him tightly when he died. Yun Yin, who had been dead for a long time, was bitten by him until his body was bloody and bloody, his bones were all exposed, and he was unconscious and could only say three words over and over again—I hate you."
Hua Qiangu's eyes were wide open, as if he could imagine the cruel and terrifying scene at that time.
"Sixteen years later, when I came out of the Changliu seabed, I couldn't see them anymore. I kept thinking, if Yunyin waited a little longer, it would be fine. If it is now, I will have strength If they help him, they don’t have to die. I never took any responsibility for Maoshan, and I didn’t do anything for him. But I just can’t figure it out. Didn’t Yunyi always want to be free and free? Why really? When he had it, he gave it up so easily. Yunyin has done so much just to not want him to continue to hate him, why did he hate him even more in the end... "
Mo Bingxian couldn't help feeling a pain in his heart, and remained silent for a long time: "Perhaps for Yunyi, he was born for Yunyin, and Yunyin is his whole belief in life, which is more important than freedom than everything else. But he didn't understand before, Yun Yin doesn’t understand either, when he understands everything, it’s too late, leaving only regret and resentment. When love becomes a habit and obsession, it’s really scary.”
"Yeah, love is really scary. You think you just love someone, but you don't realize how much disaster that love can cause to that person and even to the world."
Hua Qiangu sighed sadly again: "I hope that in the underworld, the two of them can settle their differences." Slowly closing his eyes, he recalled the scene when he first saw Yunyin in Changliu. Be it obsession, ambition, or love, nothing will be left in the end. People scattered and walked away, why did she leave her here alone
