Dusk Returns to the Ruined Building

Ouyang Zhiqing is a beautiful woman, a lonely woman, and a confused woman!

She is a flower, with roots in the vast ocean, growing in Yingzhou, blooming in Jianying, and beautiful in Zhongzhou, but no one knows where she will wither!

She is that crabapple tree. For half of her life, the only things that have accompanied her are the rising and setting of the sun and the moon, the spring breeze and the winter snow, that small courtyard, and herself beside the window, all because she has no attachments and no relatives or clans!

She is still herself, unable to forget the three meals a day of her childhood, the blood feud of her childhood, the yellow sand, the oasis, and the lonely grave in the dark passage! But she can do nothing about it, sighing at the end of the world at sunset!

It is said that people are forgetful. Shen Yichen forgot his childhood memories, the killer of Shadow Hall forgot the people he killed, Ji Qingli forgot the little girl in the vast desert, but Ouyang Zhiqing could not forget anything, just because she had entered the secret passage and lonely tomb, just because she was an inheritor!

Walking out of the vast sea, she was a little brat with a blood feud, a little girl who knew nothing. She was thought to be a child who would forget things as soon as they happened, but she was not. The blood of Hailing Lake had flowed into her heart and could never flow out again.

She grew up in Jianying, she is the princess of Jianying City, she is a fairy in the eyes of all the cultivators in the world, and she is also a chivalrous heroine, but she is not from the Ouyang family! She has been back to the vast sea, the desert, the lonely grave in the dark passage, and the home where she used to eat three bowls, three chopsticks, four dishes and four soups. Alas, the hatred in her heart really can't be let go!

She married far away into the Ji family, to the place that bled in her heart, to the imperial city of the executioner who exterminated her clan, and walked into the small courtyard with a cup of tea, a crabapple tree, and a ray of sunset. She let go of the hatred in her heart. Perhaps this should be the grave where she would live out her life alone!

Because she married the man who saved her life, but she hated the man who saved her life - Ji Qingli. She hated why he saved her and made her live in hatred all her life. She grew up in the enemy's house. The people who raised her, the people who accompanied her to grow up, and the people she married were all her enemies, the enemies who destroyed her clan! Her life was full of dilemmas and torment!

Ouyang Zhiqing is really a child too! She is the inheritor, and more than forty years have passed in the blink of an eye! But she has been burdened with a deep hatred, and has failed the love between her brother and sister, the love of her lover, and the grace of her upbringing. She really doesn't know what to do!

Zhixiang Pavilion in Jianying City, the small courtyard in the Ji's Imperial City, is a nunnery in Ji Yihong's eyes, and a prison in Ji Qingli's eyes, but it has always been a place where Ouyang Zhiqing escapes from the world! Maybe only there can she forget hatred and love, but what she really wants to forget is herself!

Ouyang Zhiqing doesn't want to take revenge, not only because she can't do it, but also because there is love in revenge. Ouyang Zhiqing doesn't want to have love, because the people who love her are gone, and the people she loves have never appeared, including Ji Yihong!

Zhiqing also stops emotions, but also stops the heart!

Now she has left alone, and that person who was unable to let go of gratitude and hatred, and that love that was unable to distinguish between emotion and hate, have really disappeared from then on!

But Ouyang Zhiqing's heart was still soft. She gave Ji Qingli, who had loved her for twenty years but could not get her, an answer, an answer that made her willing to live in a small courtyard and trapped in a cage! But she did not give all the answers, such as Ji Yihong, their son, their common son, but she was still a girl!

Ji Qingli hated Ouyang Zhiqing for almost 20 years because of this child, but Ji Qingli didn't know that Ouyang Zhiqing was still a girl! He really loved Ouyang Zhiqing too much. He would never forget the look back from Jian Yingcheng in his life, but he would never forget this child from the Ji Imperial City in his life! Love and hate are something that every man can't get out of!

Alas, poor Ji Qingli, in the past twenty years, what he lacked was perhaps a drunken streak, or perhaps a bottle of Yin Yang Xuan Yu Sect's treasure, the Devil Addiction Ice Desire Fragrance. But how could a man who loves a woman force her? From this point of view, Ji Qingli is really a good man! That was twenty years, not twenty days!

If being at a loss is the most true portrayal of Ji Qingli when he left the Ash Courtyard, then being at a loss is also the most true portrayal of Ouyang Zhiqing in the Spruce Pavilion on Lonely Cloud Ridge!

Living alone in the vast ocean, alone entering Jianying, alone marrying into the Ji family, alone leaving the imperial city, alone coming to Yunshan!

Between heaven and earth, there is a mountain, a pavilion, and a beauty.

The sun and the moon rotate, and I feel so sad day and night!

Ouyang Zhiqing is really a child! A child without a home! She inherited the memory of the years and the power of a clan, but she did not inherit the love and affection of the Blood Shadow Clan. Perhaps the Blood Shadow Clan does not have it! Perhaps it cannot be said that there is no inheritance, but it was cut off by people! After all, she still remembers the three meals a day, the three bowls and three chopsticks, and the four dishes and four soups! That is her home! But it is a home in name only!

In the Yunshan Pavilion on Lonely Cloud Ridge, Ouyang Zhiqing didn't know how many days and nights she had been sitting there! She also didn't know why she was sitting here. To the south was the Ji's Imperial City, where she had been imprisoned for the last twenty years of her life. To the north was Jianying City, where she had been bound for the first twenty years of her life. She wanted to go east or west, but would that be her grave for the rest of her life?

Thinking about her past life and looking at the present, she really doesn’t know where the future lies!

But she finally figured it out. She gave Ji Qingli an answer. Maybe she should also give an answer to the two brothers Ouyang in Jianying City! She left the small courtyard with the crabapple tree. She should also take a look at the ruins of Zhixiang Pavilion! And she should send her son off!

Ouyang Zhiqing knew that Ji Yihong could not leave Jianying City. After all, it was because of her, but he was an innocent child! She was still undecided whether to save him, but since Ji Qingli had taken action, she probably had no power to do anything! She knew Ji Qingli too well. If everything was not arranged properly, how could he let her go!

Hey, who said Ouyang Zhiqing has no hatred in her heart?

Ouyang Zhiqing played a game of chess with Ji Yihong for twenty years, and in the end she even wanted to give up!

Ouyang Zhiqing made Ji Qingli hate her for twenty years, and also hated the Ouyang family for twenty years, but so what? The Ji family was really too powerful. She thought she could take revenge, but when she walked into Zhongzhou, her heart was already dead! Now that she has walked out of Zhongzhou, her heart is still dead! There is no hope for revenge for the extermination of the clan in this life!

There are so many similarities in the world. There is also a person who has the same heart as Ouyang Zhiqing, and that is Qiu Sansheng on the top of Xuanfeng Pass. When he left with his mother in his arms, his heart was already dead, and he also thought that there was no hope of revenge in this life!

Alas, how can a mayfly shake a giant tree!

Perhaps the Ji family in Zhongzhou also thought so. How could an ant covet a thousand-year-old emperor tree? Little did they know that a thousand-mile dam could be breached by an ant hole!

With hesitant steps and unbreakable love and hatred, Ouyang Zhiqing still went north! She wanted to go back to Jianying, she wanted to put an end to all the past, she wanted to go back to the place with mountains and rivers but no home, maybe she would end up alone for the rest of her life!

Guyun Ridge, a pavilion with spruce trees all over the mountain,

Jian Yingcheng, a statue once in a hundred years!

What kind of impact will Ouyang Zhiqing, who has returned from a long journey, bring to Yingzhou? And will she be reborn or die alone when she returns to Jianying?

The cloud on the top of the cliff of Guoyunling may know!

The top of Guyun Ridge is covered with clouds, but on the cliff in the clouds there are two people. They are playing chess, and they must be playing the game of chess for the whole world!

One of them was holding a piece of grass in his mouth!

"You little bitch, why did you put the chessboard here when you weren't going to play chess with me at Yinyanju? Besides, didn't I say I don't want to play chess with you?"

Across the chessboard was Ji Xuanyan, the leader of the Ji family's Holy Hidden Feather and the most intelligent person in the Ji family. She also had another title: she was once the top of the Tianji Pavilion's Hundred Flowers List!

I have to sigh, the Ji family also has beauties!

Ji Xuanyan smiled and said:

"There are mountains, clouds and beauties, isn't that good? Why, you came here secretly, but you don't allow me to come?"

It was a pity that I couldn't see Ji Xuanyan's face. She was another woman with a veil on her face! But her eyes were as bright as autumn water, cold and beautiful with a hint of icy light!

"Don't look at me, look at the chess, I'm nervous!"

The young man holding the grass in his mouth was really nervous!

"You! You are young and still self-indulgent. I am looking at her! It is hard for her. She has devoted herself to the Ji family for twenty years to avenge the extermination of her clan. But she is still honest!"

"Didn't you tell me not to take care of the Ji family's affairs? Why are you telling me this?"

The young man holding the grass in his mouth also turned around and looked at Ouyang Zhiqing who was walking away.

Ji Xuanyan responded with a smile:

"I'm just reminding you. The Ji family's Grand Elder thought he made a good move, but he didn't know that there is no such thing as good or bad on the chessboard, only win or lose. A good move is not necessarily a winning move!"

His eyes were still looking across, and he really didn't know who he was looking at!

"It has nothing to do with me. I'm obedient and don't get involved in the Ji family's affairs. It's useless to tell me these things!"

The young man holding the grass in his mouth didn't dare to look back, because he knew Ji Xuanyan was staring at him!

"Back then, the Ji family's Grand Elder stood here and watched Ouyang Zhiqing enter Zhongzhou. Twenty years have passed in a flash! You, the person who welcomed Zhongzhou here back then, are almost twenty years old now, right?"

Ji Xuanyan's voice was very soft, but it was like a thunderclap, scaring the young man opposite so much that the grass in his mouth fell onto the chessboard. He turned around and said in surprise:

"You, you, how did you know!"

The young man holding the grass in his mouth was not only shocked, but also angry, and he even used his power! He had the intention to kill!

Ji Xuanyan sighed calmly:

"Hey, the Ji Clan Ancestral Hall is the fateful place of the Grand Elder, and the Emperor Tree is also your fateful place. Why can't you understand?"

Ji Xuanyan turned her head to glance at Ouyang Zhiqing who was about to disappear!

"The situation in Yingzhou is getting tense, so take care of yourself!"

After Ji Xuanyan finished speaking, she disappeared on the top of the cliff of Guoyun Ridge and disappeared from the sight of the young man holding the grass in his mouth. No, he was no longer holding the grass in his mouth!

"You, you, you don't know martial arts?"

A cry of surprise was heard from the top of the cliff at Guoyun Ridge!

Alas, the person who cannot be understood after thousands of years is Ji Xuanyan!
