Lights on the other side

When the moonlight spilled into the hall, the three of them had disappeared.

Li Ruoci was walking down the mountain by himself, and just now he got separated from the other two by accident. After he found out, he immediately found Yun Liujin through the spiritual letter.

But Yun Liujin said: "There is snow here, and it is difficult to determine the direction. Instead of looking for each other, you might as well go down the mountain first, and we will meet at the foot of the mountain."

Li Ruoci wanted to say something more, but Yun Liujin said quickly: "Don't say it, don't say it, I was poured with snow as soon as I opened my mouth, and I froze to death. Get down quickly."

Li Ruoci silently cut off the biography of Lingwen.

The snow-capped mountain was completely dark, and he walked with one step deep and one step shallow.The wind and snow has never stopped, and there is a growing trend, making it difficult for people to walk.On the way, he vaguely saw a temple.

The temple only had an outline on this snowy night, and it looked a little lonely.

A long, long time ago, when people were still in ignorance, they regarded the monsters on the mountain as gods, and built many temples and shrines here to worship them. However, when the power of humans gradually surpassed the monsters, they were abandoned. up.

Li Ruoci thought that at least there was a shelter from the wind, so he walked there.He entered through the back door, and the sound of wind and snow covered up the creaking of the broken door.A few rays of light came through the front, and he realized that there were still people inside, so he became cautious, hid behind the dilapidated statue, and looked forward.

The gate of the temple was closed from the inside, and the wind and snow could not come in, only the sound of the wind whistling past the gate could be heard.The lights that had not been burned for many years in front of the temple were lit again, and the light was bright and warm.

Hay was spread on the ground, and a person sat under the statue. The person unbuttoned his robe and began to remove the bandages layer by layer, exposing the wound on his abdomen that had begun to ooze blood.

Li Ruoci's heart tightened as he watched from behind, and quietly stayed behind for a while, not wanting to stay, let alone leave.

While hesitating, the front door was knocked open. He thought it was a snowstorm, but saw a burst of cold air, and a few snow monsters came. They opened their mouths wide, revealing sharp teeth, piercing the heart. After screaming loudly, the long nails grabbed the people on the ground.

Li Ruoci didn't have time to think about it, she turned her head and saw ghost masks and swords hanging on the wall next to her, she took them off and rushed out.

He stood in front of the man and swung a few white sword lights. The snow demons were rushed out of the door by a strong force, and they died instantly without screaming.

Dark red blood was stained on the sword. Li Ruoci lowered his hands and stood for a while. Hearing movement behind him, he turned around slowly. When he saw that face, he thought of the name he had been thinking about all along.

What caught my eye was the person I had always thought of.

Pei Shi had already put on his clothes again and stood up, looking at him motionless.

Li Ruoci subconsciously touched the red ghost mask on his face, and he was wearing it properly.

"Thank you, brother."

Li Ruoci just nodded.

The wind and snow blowing in from outside made his feet feel like a layer of frost.He turned around and closed the door again, and found a place to sit down.

Pei Shi's eyes stayed on him all the time, Li Ruoci finally couldn't help but look back.

The two looked at each other for a while, then Pei Shi said, "I don't know why brother came here?"

Li Ruoci thought: I also want to ask this question, why do you still come here with injuries on your body?Do you really want to die?

But he just pointed to his throat and shook his head slightly.

Pei Shi also understood that he could not speak.

Li Ruoci saw that the snow on the ground just now had melted, so he reached out for a stick of hay, dipped it in it, and wrote two words on the ground: missing person.

The two communicated in this way.Li Ruoci casually adapted her life experience again, a big fire burned half of her face, and made her voice hoarse by the way.

He was writing on the ground, but he saw Pei Shi staring at his hand with an inexplicable expression on his face.

He withdrew his hand and blocked it with his sleeve, afraid that Pei Shi would see something.

Pei Shi said, "You don't use swords often, do you?"

Li Ruoci hesitated for a moment, then nodded.

Pei Shi gently held his wrist, but he didn't resist.Putting cold fingers on his warm blood, Pei Shi asked, "Have you been injured in the past year?"

Li Ruoci shook his head.

Pei Shi put down his hands, resumed his usual expression, forced a smile and said, "Yes."

He leaned on the platform enshrining the god statue, raised his head slightly, his eyes were a little dazed, as if he was looking at the snow falling in the night sky through the gap in the roof, but he didn't seem to be.

Li Ruoci wrapped herself in black clothes and looked at Pei Shi silently.The mask on the face is angry and ferocious, but the face inside has no expression at all.

After a while, Pei Shi sat up again and started talking with him about other things. He wrote slowly, but Pei Shi was very patient, watching each word.The watermark is very shallow on the ground, and it dries in a short while, and then a layer of words is covered.

"I still don't know how to call Xiongtai?"

Li Ruoci wrote: "We meet by chance, don't ask for your name."

"But what if we meet again someday."

"I remember your face."

Pei Shi smiled: "Is this one-sided? You know me, but I don't know you."

Li Ruoci followed these words and really imagined this scene.

Pei Shi will never know that he is still alive, and he will never be in his eyes again. After having a wife and children, he will not have much place in his memory. He is like an old book, only suitable for When you are nostalgic, take it out and look through it. As for the life in this world, it belongs to others.

Li Ruoci suddenly felt intolerable towards him, but he suppressed it for a lifetime. He answered the wrong question and wrote: "Do you know what a ghost is?"

Pei Shi didn't know why.

"People can't see him, but he can see people."

Pei Shi looked at the handwriting and couldn't help laughing out loud, "You mean...you are that ghost?"

Li Ruoci was noncommittal.

Pei Shi withdrew his smile and said seriously, "Why?"

"Because there are things that people who think can do nothing."

After writing this line, Li Ruoci felt that he had too many unnecessary feelings, so he brushed it away.

Pei Shi was stunned, and after a while, he raised his head and asked, "Will you come back then?"

Li Ruoci was puzzled.

Pei Shi whispered, "Those who become ghosts."

Before Li Ruoci could think of anything to say, the door was knocked open again, and a more violent wind and snow rushed in.

The two stood up quickly and each drew their swords.

The ones who came were not the Snow Demon, but two people, all covered in snow, extremely embarrassed.

After seeing their faces clearly, Pei Shi couldn't help calling out their names: "Song Lai, see you in the moon?"
