hell in disguise

It has been a long time since Tan Yangzi had such a comfortable and deep sleep. When he woke up, he only felt that his whole body was extremely light, as if all the pain from inside to outside had been completely wiped away by an invisible hand, without any pain a feeling of.At this time, it was about the time when the sun was setting, and the clear and ethereal birdsong echoed in circles in the valley. There was a sugar-like sweetness in the sun, which warmed the whole body.

Tan Yangzi stretched his body on the mossy ground before slowly sitting up.Next to him was a set of clean blue robes. They were not expensive materials, but the comfortable linen cloth he was most familiar with, but they were finely crafted and spotless, as if they had just been bought.Tan Yangzi raised his head and looked around. He could only see some fresh fruits neatly arranged on a few banana leaves, but Yan Fei could not be seen.

Yan Fei got the clothes?Where did he get this deep mountain and dense forest?

Tan Yangzi put on his clothes, smoothed his long hair with his fingers, folded a branch and tied it into a bun.His stomach was indeed a bit hungry. He picked up an apple and took a bite. The sweet juice filled his lips and teeth, and he couldn't help but let out a sigh of enjoyment.

But where did Yan Fei go?

He finished the apple, wiped his hands with a leaf, and tentatively stood up.The strength seems to be fully restored, without any feeling of vain.He stretched his hand behind his back, into his body, and touched the karma-slashing sword that was integrated with the ghost body.He exerted a little force, and the sword was pulled out from his back. The heavy and simple sword body was filled with light blue rust, and there were many runes in it that I don't know if they had any meaning.The only relic of his soul.

He has never known what the runes on the sword mean, it doesn't seem to be any language he knows, but every Qingwuchang Zhanye sword has similar but completely different characters on it.Some Wuchang think that maybe it is something more mysterious and ancient than language...the incantation that hides the secret of the origin of all beings.

It is also available on Hongwuchang's umbrella, and it is carved on each umbrella bone in detail.There are also spells on the soul-inducing bell that are similar to each other but unique.Maybe... it was left by their souls?

The soul of life...is the most important thing for every living being.It is the only thing that can exist forever and never die, and it is the true essence of the soul. Except for voluntary sacrifice and casting it into a blue-red impermanent magic weapon, no power can destroy it.And a god, especially the soul of a young god is especially precious. It is the most beautiful and pure soul among the six realms that can only be cultivated through accumulated time and kalpas of good karma. There are also hells and corpse candles with them in the human world. The seriously twisted monsters seen in Aroma are nothing like those.Even the old gods may not be able to keep such a beautiful life soul, because in the long enjoyment of dozens of asamkhya kalpas in the heaven, they gradually forget that the order they support to control the six realms is also at the same time. happens to them automatically.They can't see the changes of their souls bit by bit, and they don't know how ugly they have become in a subtle way.

But I made Yan Fei give up the soul that belonged to him, made him give up the power that was strong enough to shake Ziwei's throne, and made him give up the existence that was so small and insignificant that it was far more important than himself ideal.

Does Yan Fei really know what he is giving up?If he hadn't met himself at such a young age, wouldn't he have been reborn as a god by this time?One day when Yan Fei's body is about to collapse, when he faces the fear of disappearing forever, will he hate himself?

Tan Yangzi retracted the karma-slaying sword into his body, hesitated for a moment, and decided to look around to find out where Yan Fei had gone.If you can't find it, just come back, it's better than sitting there and thinking wildly.This forest is indeed very old, the trees are as tall as giant beasts, and it is difficult to walk among the trees covered with shrubs and wormwood, but he soon found a trail that seemed to have been stepped on recently, probably stepped on by Yan Fei right?

As he trudged along the winding path, he gradually heard some sort of thunderous sound.As he got closer, he realized that it wasn't thunder, but the commotion of water falling from a high place into a deep pool.

The luxuriant giant tree branches on both sides gradually receded to the two sides, and I really saw a silver waterfall with abundant water hanging on a cliff in front of me, continuously pouring into the peacock green pool below.Under the setting sun, a rainbow shadow covers the water pool, transpiring some kind of fairy air.Beside the pool are several huge blue boulders covered with moss, one of which stretches long into the pool.Tan Yangzi jumped onto the bluestone, walked to the front, and enjoyed a moment of peace that was so beautiful that it was unreal.

But at this time, the calm water surface was torn apart suddenly, a figure broke through the water, and the long hair that was as wet as ink threw a long rainbow in the air, and the crystal water drops scattered like ice crystals in the rainbow light, but the person in the water With a naked upper body as white as jade, the slender and strong muscles glow with crystal light spots, and the beautiful face that transcends gender boundaries becomes more clear and dazzling after being washed with water.As if he didn't know his own beauty, he casually reached out to wipe off the water droplets on his face, brushed the strands of hair on his forehead, and turned around slowly.The narrow waist stirred up ripples in the water.

Tan Yangzi stared blankly.

This is not the first time he has seen Yan Fei, and he knows that the former Yan Fei was also very good-looking, but the current Yan Fei seems to be a little different from the previous Yan Fei... To use an inappropriate metaphor, it is a bit like... suddenly blooming the same...

All the greenness fades away, and it becomes complete and eye-catching.

He felt his throat dry again...

As soon as Yan Fei looked up and saw Master, he immediately burst into that familiar bright smile, "Master, how did you find me?"

Tan Yangzi swallowed his saliva, pretending to be calm, "I, I found it along the road you stepped on."

Yan Fei swam to the side of the bluestone where he was standing, leaned on the stone and looked at him with his head tilted, his smile grew wider and even a bit evil, "Master, are you peeking at me taking a shower?"

"Nonsense! I didn't even know you were in the shower!"

"Master, your ears start to turn red when you're anxious, so cute." Yan Feihu slapped his scary eyelashes, shaking off the two drops of water on them.He stretched out his hand and pulled Tan Yangzi's hem, "Would you like to come together, just like last time in Luo Songgu..."

Falling Pine Valley seems to have happened a long, long time ago... But when I think of the beautiful and shameful absurd things that happened that night, I still feel hot all over my body.That was the first time he really accepted Yan Fei's love for him in that way, and the first time he allowed himself to treat Yan Fei with the same affection - master-student love, which is considered a deviant taboo in the Three Good Ways .

Now that he knows Yan Fei's identity as the container of the two souls of Bo Xun, maybe he needs to add a layer of taboo about love between gods and ghosts—this way, even in hell, it will be a shocking act of rebellion.

Thinking of this, the heat on Tan Yangzi's body gradually cooled down.

Seeing the subtle changes on Tan Yangzi's face, Yan Fei also restrained his smile.He came ashore, picked up his red dress and put it on his body, then walked silently behind Tan Yangzi, put his arms around Tan Yangzi's waist, and rested his head on the master's broad back shoulder.

"Master, do you hate me?"

Tan Yangzi was startled, and turned to look at him, "Why do I hate you?"

"You know my relationship with Bo Xun, don't you? Otherwise, you wouldn't have come to the realm of nothingness to save me."

Tan Yangzi took a deep breath with some difficulty, and said after a while, "You are you, and Bo Xun is Bo Xun. I won't blame you for something that has nothing to do with you."

Yan Fei didn't make a sound.

Tan Yangzi turned around, stretched out his hand to gently support Yan Fei's chin, and made his eyes meet her own.He told Yan Fei earnestly, "I admit that when I first found out, I... was a little hard to let go, but then I thought about it. The past life is too illusory, I don't want to care about it. As long as you don't accept the soul of fate, you are not Bo Xun , I will treat you as before."

Yan Fei asked softly, "What would you have done if I had accepted the Soul of Life at that time?"

Tan Yangzi's hands trembled slightly, a cold and gloomy light flashed deep in his pupils.

"Yan Fei, there are some things that I will never be able to forgive. You should understand."

Yan Fei lowered his eyes and nodded, "I understand."

"However, if you accept the soul of fate, you will have all the memories of Bo Xun. At that time, I am afraid that I will be insignificant in your heart. Maybe you will forget about me and just trample me to death as a hell ghost. Seeing that he looked depressed, Jianna wanted to say something to adjust the atmosphere, but it didn't seem to be very successful.Yan Fei said with a hurt and wronged expression, "I won't!"

"You're not Bo Xun, how do you know what you'll do when you become him?" Tan Yangzi reached out and touched his head, "Okay, don't be so horny anymore. There are no ifs in the world, so we are doing well. Is it?"

Yan Fei hugged Master tightly again, as if afraid that he would run away.

On the way back, the two discussed whether to stay here or to live in seclusion in another place.What Yan Fei meant was that the untouched forests and wilderness in the Jiuli Mountains are everywhere, and it is not so easy to find them.As long as they are careful not to use any spells, they should not be noticed by Heavenly Court.As for the Immortal Medicine School, they suffered heavy losses after the first battle in the realm of nothingness, so they probably won't have the time to find them for the time being.

In the next few days, the two collected broken wood and dead branches in the forest, built a small hut according to the banyan tree, made beds with overlapping banana leaves, hunted wild rabbits and pheasants in the forest, and cooked wild vegetables Soup for dinner, and in the morning the fruit of the tree still wet with dew.Tan Yangzi also stopped abstaining from meat for the time being. After all, it is difficult to not touch any meat under such circumstances. He has practiced the longevity technique for so long, and his body should not decay so quickly.Little by little, they surrounded their own small yard. Yan Fei planned to pick some intact fruit pits and plant them there, so that in the future they would not have to travel far to pick fruits and wild vegetables.

The nearest town is also hundreds of miles away. They have never been there, and they are worried that they may be seen by the ubiquitous blue, red and black and white impermanence.If there are necessary daily necessities, Yan Fei will exchange some rare prey to a few hunters' homes in another mountain.In this way, Tan Yangzi has not seen outsiders for more than a month, as if he and Yan Fei are the only two people left in the world.He no longer had to worry about catching ghosts, and he no longer needed to go back to hell, a place full of pain and death, and life suddenly became extremely simple.They run around to survive during the day, repairing houses, hunting, picking, collecting firewood, carrying water, and lighting fires for cooking.Because of the isolation, everything takes more effort.At night, they would toss about on the bed made of banana leaves, throw away all shame and worries, be dominated by pure happiness, and then embrace each other and fall into a deep sleep.

Tan Yangzi always feels a little dazed, this is his dream life, undisturbed and free.But he was always a little restless.

is this real?Is it really possible for him to be happy?

And... Yan Fei also seems to be a little... different from before?

Not that there are any big changes, just some inadvertent, small things.For example, he found that when Yan Fei thought he was not looking at him, he would often stare at a certain point in a daze, with a look of loneliness and worry in his eyes.Yan Fei used to be sad and sad, but now his expression seems to be more...complex and gloomy?It made him a little confused.

But when Yan Fei noticed that he was looking at him, he was still as heartless as before.

Perhaps the experience of witnessing his "tragic death" really left a big shadow on Yan Fei.Now Yan Fei always wants to hug him, whenever he has a chance, and locks himself with his hands at night when he sleeps, as if he is afraid that he will leave suddenly.

One day, Yan Fei was going to go fishing in a nearby pool, so he took the fishing rod and basket he had made, and the small jar of earthworms he had dug out the day before, and kissed Tan Yangzi on the mouth, " Master, I'm going fishing and I'll be back in a while."

The toss was a bit intense last night, someone's demands were a bit excessive, Tan Yangzi beat his aching lower back, and glared at him, "Got it. It rained yesterday, if you see mushrooms growing when you come back Just bring it back."

"it is good!"

Yan Fei walked all the way to the upstream of the waterfall where he had bathed before, and he remembered seeing fish shadows in a section where the water flow was slow.The river beach was full of rocks, so he found a stone and sat down cross-legged, hooked the earthworm onto the hook, and swung the fishing rod vigorously.He fixed the fishing rod between the crevices of the stones, then lay down by himself, basking in the warm sun, and closed his eyes.

After a while, he suddenly opened his eyes and sat up straight.The expression on his face was completely different from before, and a chill flashed in his deep pupils.

"Come out." He said softly.

The branches and leaves rustled, and a person stood behind him.The wind blew the man's flawless white clothes, and his ink hair flew up, slightly covering his elegant and handsome face.

Liu Yusheng stared at the red figure in a daze, but didn't speak for a long time.

Yan Fei got up slowly, sighed, and turned around.

"You really know me best... You can find me so quickly." Yan Fei looked at him quietly, his face was calm, and there was no wave in the ancient well.

Liu Yusheng frowned slightly, his expression complicated.

"I have been looking for you for 300 years, and finding you is what I am best at."

Yan Fei slightly raised the corners of his mouth, smiling arrogantly, ironically, and tiredly.

"Have you ever thought that maybe I don't want to be found by you? Ashyun."
