Dusk Returns to the Ruined Building

The past emotions come with dreams, the years are fragrant and dust-free, guarding a mysterious pearl, spending a journey in the quiet and elegant Chang'an!

Shen Yichen woke up from a dream, but he didn't think about the dream. He didn't think about anything, including Sister Qing. He was only doing one thing, biting the old scar on his wrist, preventing the scar from healing and keeping himself in pain all the time. Only in this way did he know that he was still alive!

The Xuchen Pearl was running very smoothly in the dark space. Shen Yichen felt very quiet and comfortable. He didn't know how long it had been, nor where he was going. He just sat there biting his scar, his eyes were dull, like a living dead, or even more like a statue.

Love comes with a heart, and goes without a heart. This may be the end of love!

Shen Yichen walked out of the Stargazing Mountain, but did not find the extreme of the sky or the source of the Tao. Instead, he saw the end of love first. The answer seemed to be the same, one word: emptiness!

Shen Yichen really didn't know how to let go, so he could only empty himself.

At the bottom of Hailing Lake, when we first met, the first words you said were:

"Do you know how to liberate yourself? Do you want to liberate me first?"

That was the beginning of our destiny, but unexpectedly, it would also be the end of our destiny.

In the vast sea and desert, when we first met, I was a dead man in the sand, and you were a ghost in the forest. I was a stupid, foolish, and crazy person, and you were a chattering soul. The soul attached to the person, and the person hid the soul. We knew each other and accompanied each other, broke into Longmian and entered Yingzhou. I painted a picture for you that lasted with the years, but I failed to give you a sincere promise!

With dry bones hanging in the cold, in trouble, on the edge of the abyss, you gave me a different kind of Wushan love, and I gave you an increasingly real self. I enjoy my love in this world, and you protect me on the road of the rivers and lakes. I really can't figure out whether I saved you or you saved me. Without me, you will die, and without you, I will also die. It turns out that humans and souls, humans and monsters can also have love!

Thousands of miles from Yingzhou, the road of life and death, the six shadows reunited and you became a human, but your love entered my soul. You love to drink the blood of the loving spirits, and I love the love between you and me in the carriage. We go on a blind date and we love each other. I want to remove the hatred in your heart, but you want my original intention to remain unchanged. However, my original intention has not changed, and your hatred has not disappeared. This may be the beginning of our regrets. I'm sorry!

The temple is caged and covered with ice for thousands of years. We respect the heaven, the earth and the love. We seek the yin and yang in the clouds and rain of Wushan. You are in me and I am in you, but we have not entered each other's hearts. You blocked the arrow for me and I was reborn for you. You saved me, but I was hurting you!

The sword welcomes the holy city, the wind and clouds gather, you are approaching hatred, I am walking into the world game, you are heading east, I am heading west, but we are both unaware. It is not so much that we are helpless, but rather that the love is not deep enough, the relationship is not complete, I can't forget the absurd Wushan, you are always thinking about the children in your heart, and the result is all a joyful game.

The sword meets the wind and the clouds disperse. I have survived the calamity, but you have fallen into it!

Sister Qing, can I still find you? I just want to tell you that my relationship with you is about the result, not the process. I don't want to leave it to fate. We really should have a child. The one who will be with us through the years, not you in the painting, but our child, is the witness and continuation of our love.

In the Xuchen Pearl, Shen Yichen was lying on his back, with blood at the corners of his mouth, tears in his eyes, and regret in his heart. What was going on in his dream?

"Brother Nan, Brother Nan, wait for me, I can't climb anymore!"

A little boy followed a big boy. They were probably climbing a building, a building that was very tall and reached the clouds.

"Brother Chen, hurry up, we don't have much time. If uncle finds out, he will punish us!"

The older boy stopped and stretched out his hand, trying to help his younger brother.

"You knew you'd be punished, but you still brought me here? What kind of place is this?"

The little boy stood with his hands on his hips, panting. They had been climbing for a long time and very high, but they still couldn't see the roof.

"This is called the Moon-Watching Tower. There's a moon-viewing platform on top. I heard from Auntie that this is the highest point in the Ji family. My father often comes here secretly by himself. I want to know what he does here?"

There was a hint of adult maturity in the boy's brows.

"Second Uncle, what else can you do? Come and drink. I've never seen him do anything else since I was a child. But, Brother Nan, when Second Uncle is drunk, he looks at you strangely, and he's secretly looked at you several times!"

The older boy was startled when he heard this, bit his lip, and asked softly:

"How did you know?"

The little boy chuckled and didn't respond. He took the older boy's hand and they climbed up together.

"Brother Chen, why don't you say anything?"

"My mother won't let me tell anyone else, but you're my brother Nan, not an outsider. I'm telling you, don't tell anyone else. My mother taught me some very strange things. They don't look like martial arts, but more like secret techniques. I've been secretly practicing in our courtyard. I've sensed Second Uncle's aura several times and observed him in secret. He was sitting on the wall outside your window, drinking and looking at you. He kept repeating someone's name, and it was always the same: Yun Shu. I guess it must be the uncle we don't know!"

"The uncle we don't know? No, Brother Chen, it should be my father's uncle, our grandfather!"

"That's probably right. Second uncle is drunk all day long, and what he says is muddled!"

"Brother Chen, do you think the wine is really that good? Why doesn't my uncle drink it, but my father drinks it all day long?"

"Brother Nan, I really don't know. You can ask my mom. I once saw my mom drinking and crying, and I didn't dare to ask. Today I'll accompany you to climb the Moon Viewing Tower. You can ask my mom why she was crying someday, okay?"

"I, I, I..."

The older boy seemed to have something to hide.

"Brother Nan, don't worry, my mother loves you the most, she will definitely not blame you!"

"Then I can only promise you to try, but you are not allowed to force me!"

"Brother Nan, you're forcing me now, okay? I really can't climb anymore!"

The little boy stopped and leaned against the railing, motionless.

"Okay, I promise you, I'll go ask Auntie tomorrow!"

The little boy smiled slightly and continued to climb up.

The older boy shook his head. Of course he knew what the younger boy was thinking.

When the two climbed up to the moon-viewing platform, they really crawled there, and they lay down directly at the entrance of the pavilion.

"Brother Nan, did your father come up here to sober up? This trip has drained all my urine!"

"I, how would I know? I won't come next time. There's actually such a tall building in the imperial city. What's it used for? Oh, I'm so tired!"

The two boys lay there for a while, then slowly got up.

"Brother Nan, where's the moon? Didn't you say this is the moon viewing platform?"

The little boy looked up at the sky with a look of disappointment on his face. It was gray and there were not even any stars.

The older boy was also very disappointed. He stood by the railing, looked down, and exclaimed:

"Brother Chen, Brother Chen, come and see, come and see, is this the Ji family's imperial city?"

Under the night sky, the Ji family's imperial city was brightly lit. The boundless imperial city looked like a vast ocean or a boundless forest.

The two boys opened their mouths wide, their faces full of disbelief!

"Brother Nan, is this... the Ji family's imperial city really this big?"

"Brother Chen, this is your Ji family!"

"Brother Nan, this is our Ji family!"

"Yes, it's ours. We must protect our Ji family well!"

The older boy focused his gaze on the younger boy, muttering to himself:

"Brother Chen, this is your Ji family, but Brother Nan will help you protect it!"

"Brother Nan, look, there's a tree over there that seems to be taller than this Moon Watching Tower!"

"I heard from my uncle that it's the Emperor Tree, and the end of the Emperor Tree is the end of the sky!"

The little boy and the older boy looked at the towering emperor tree together. They were trying to find the end of the tree, but there were only thick clouds, dark thick clouds.

"Brother Nan, let's go check out that tree tomorrow!"

"No, not everyone can get close to that place, let alone us two children!"

The little boy was obviously disappointed. He pointed at the mountains in the distance and shouted:

"Brother Nan, can we go to the mountains there to play?"

"No, why are you two here?"

A drunkard came to the moon-viewing platform of Wangyue Tower, and another drunkard was also looking at the Ji family's imperial city from afar!

"Father!"

"Second Uncle, Brother Nan wants to know you!"

The older boy turned around and glared at the younger boy.

The drunk man was stunned for a moment, then he flew down with a wine jug in his mouth and a child in each hand!

"I'll take you flying, okay?"

In the dark night, there were the screams and cries of two children!
