【Pei Shui】Farewell

"...That's how it is. When the priests broke through, Bai Wuxiang burned down the immortal capital and lowered the huge stone of fire. The imperial city was first ravaged by resentful spirits, and then suffered this catastrophe. Most of it has been destroyed...the former capital of the three dynasties is now full of scorched earth. "

Xie Lian said, a flash of pain flashed in his eyes.

Hearing this, Heishui frowned.Xie Lian saw it, and hurriedly said: "Fortunately, we have bought enough time. The gods dreamed their dreams, cast their spells, and cooperated with the mortal army to cover the safe evacuation of the people in the city."

He Xuan nodded, but worry was still deeply buried in his eyes.This was not the news he most wanted to hear.

"Is all the people safe?" He lowered his eyes and pretended to be unintentional, but he accentuated the first two words.

"Not all of them..." Xie Lian thought for a moment.

Heishui's heart suddenly tightened.

"Many people ran too fast, didn't pay attention to their feet, and fell down."

"..."

He Xuan's raised heart made Xie Lian circle around in mid-air.He took a light breath, knocked the upper and lower teeth together, and lifted his tongue back, but he couldn't ask for the word "teacher".

After struggling for a while, Heishui changed his words and asked the other party's intention: "So, why did His Royal Highness come to the South China Sea to look for me?"

"At the beginning, Bai Wuxiang burnt himself out of the copper furnace, his aura was blazing, and he was extremely fierce. He has cultivated for more than two thousand years, and his body has reached perfection. He went to heaven and gave his best—including me , I can’t do anything about him. I still have a curse shackle left. Although Master tried to break Bai Wu’s control over it, my mana is still limited. Even with Saburo, the two of us can only I can restrain him for a while... Bai Wuxiang and the five elements belong to fire, if you want to have a chance to defeat him, you have to join hands with those who manage water. Therefore, I would like to ask Your Excellency Heishui to come forward to help..."

He Xuan listened silently, his eyes were as calm as stagnant water in an ancient well, and he could not see any emotional fluctuations.

Half an hour ago, the ghost king who was dormant was forcibly awakened, and the feeling of the vibration of the primordial spirit was not pleasant.However, bloody memories and fragmented dreams still linger in his mind, and unspeakable concerns are also pressed in his heart, which makes He Xuan's anxiety and uneasiness even worse.

"Why doesn't His Royal Highness ask Master Yu for help?"

"Master Yu was seriously injured and has not recovered from the coma...Although she handles the rain, she is mainly a farmer, and she is a member of wood and soil, so she has no advantage against Shangbai Wuxiang..."

"I have only been a ghost king for more than 400 years. How does His Royal Highness believe that I will be able to defeat the disaster in white clothes?" He Xuan got up from the table, walked back to the bed, took out a handkerchief, and wiped the wind on the small table. lampshade.After sleeping for dozens of days in a row, the hollowed-out wishful cloud patterns were all dusted.

"The operation of good fortune is nothing more than mutual generation and mutual restraint; ghosts, gods and monsters cannot be separated from the yin and yang and the five elements." Xie Lian sat at the table, holding a dark obsidian teacup.There is another sentence that he kept in his stomach for the time being—otherwise, Bai Wuxiang wouldn't have plotted against Sailor Wudu like this.

"... So what if water can overcome fire? Junwu has cultivated in 2000, and my ability to match him with this is just a drop in the bucket." He Xuan carefully put back the wind lamp cover, "I am different from some fools who have not saved the world. The thoughts and consciousness of all beings. Your Highness, please go back."

Hua Chengben leaned aside.Hearing the second half of He Xuan's words, his complexion suddenly became gloomy: "What did you say?"

He Xuan didn't react at first, but when he turned around and saw Huacheng's stinky face, and then looked at the slightly embarrassed Prince Xianle, he realized that there was a misunderstanding just now.So he explained: "I'm not talking about you, I'm talking about..."

Halfway through the speech, he got stuck and swallowed it back.He Xuan lowered his eyes and clenched his fists.Xie Lian and Hua Cheng knew each other, they looked at each other and sighed silently.

"Young Master He," Xie Lian spoke first, and looked at the other party earnestly, "You say you have no heart to save the world, so why is it that although everyone in the world knows that anyone who enters the Black Water Ghost Domain will sink, but you are blocking the water outside the water area?" A layer of sea fog to warn passing boats to stay away? Isn’t your purpose to prevent ordinary fishermen from breaking in, lest innocent people lose their lives?”

"...That's all later." He Xuan replied lightly, "In the beginning, I also hurt a lot of lives."

"...but at least Mr. He has a heart for good..."

"This doesn't mean anything. I don't fog up to be alert, I just like to be quiet so that no one will disturb me."

Xie Lian was blocked back to the topic, and didn't know what to say for a while.But he knew that He Xuan was definitely not a heartless person.Huacheng once told him about the situation in the South China Sea.In fact, Heishui Island is located in a remote place, where the South China Sea and the outer sea meet. There are many monsters entrenched in it. The weather is unpredictable, and it is unpredictable.There are always fishermen who go deep into the ocean encounter accidents, deviate from the course, and drift to the black water ghost land, but He Xuan not only does not sink their boat, but also quietly sends them back to a safe place.Cold and hot, year after year, he saved thousands of lives quietly.Even if it's just a matter of hand, it's a great good deed.What's more, all things are gathered by like, and people are divided by groups.A person who can be appreciated by Shi Qingxuan and regarded as a close friend cannot be narrow-minded, indifferent, impervious to character, and righteous. It is strange to say that the identity may be disguised seamlessly, but some The existence born from bones and born from qi cannot be faked no matter what.It is also because of this that Xie Lian came to Heishui Island to discuss with He Xuan, and tried to ask him to come forward.

After calming down, Xie Lian came up with another reason that might pry He Xuan in his mind - don't deny it anymore.It is said that gentlemen agree with each other, Shi Qingxuan is a clear and transparent person, he can see people well.

But Xie Lian also knows that when they come, there is a bloody sea between the two of them; this enmity is separated by life and death, how can they overcome it?Secondly, I promised Shi Qingxuan that I would not mention him again in front of He Xuan; how can I violate this residual wish, Yin and Yang's despair?

Xie Lian didn't frown, but he had no choice but to keep silent.Seeing the tense atmosphere in the hall, Huacheng calmly sent a psychic to He Xuan.

"Are you really not going to show up?"

"It doesn't do any good to face me, and it doesn't do much harm if you don't face me."

Huacheng thought to himself, He Xuan is just cold-hearted, and he has reached this point. If he didn't directly refuse, it means that his mind has wavered.

"...Do you know that Shi Qingxuan is dead."

"What?!" He Xuan didn't even need a spirit connection.He raised his head suddenly, and walked to Huacheng in a few steps, his face was as cold as ice.Xie Lian, who didn't know what happened, was startled.

"Don't make up such words to provoke me!" He Xuan warned in a deep voice with serious eyebrows.Hua Cheng raised his eyebrows and met He Xuan's eyes.He was used to being frivolous and loose, but there was no joke in his eyes at this moment.He Xuan stared at him, but panicked in his heart.

Huacheng shook his head slightly, and said: "I didn't lie to you."

"But... Didn't Prince Xianle just say that all the people in the imperial city have evacuated safely?"

"Yes. At that time, he borrowed some mana from Pei Ming to help his elder brother organize the royal army to set up a formation, and also assisted in covering the evacuation of civilians. Unexpectedly, the formation was attacked by Bai Wuxiang, and a hole was opened, and the talisman of suppression and purification in the middle The formation was also destroyed. Shi Qingxuan just happened to be on the side, so he jumped up and blocked the gap. After the number of people on the left and right was filled, he went to repair the talisman formation, and was surrounded by thousands of ghosts... Later, Jun Wu exploded After arriving in Xianjing, the sky fire descended, Shi Qingxuan sacrificed his body with the last bit of mana, summoned a strong wind, and fought against the continuous sky fire, and this bought time for the people of the imperial city to evacuate safely."

Huacheng briefly described the ins and outs of the future.Xie Lian sat up in surprise: "Sanlang! Why do you..."

"The only person who agrees to help him conceal the news of his death is you, brother. I didn't agree to anything." Huacheng shrugged.

After hearing this, He Xuan didn't say a word. He lowered his head and couldn't see his expression clearly, only his shoulders were trembling.After a long time, he punched the wall with his fist.

"...What about the other priests... What are they doing for food...Leave him a man with little mana...Leave him alone...What are they doing?"

He Xuan's voice seemed to be the same as before, calm and indifferent, as clear as water.But listening carefully, like his shoulders, trembled slightly.Shaking off drops of withered blood, stagnation in my heart, I was extremely sad and angry.

"When we broke out from Xianjing, a group of people were seriously injured... those with high mana, joined me and Saburo to fight against Bai Wuxiang... It was very easy to spare some people to escort the people, but the population of the imperial city was hundreds of thousands, and the priests had to use their divine power to fight against Bai Wuxiang... Move them to a safe place one by one... Someone needs to guard against the ghosts and resentful spirits that come..." Xie Lian felt sad, "There are also a few priests staying behind, but they are all small gods with weak spiritual power... ...And among them, only Qingxuan saw that I had drawn that formation... But when he went up to make up the formation, those priests also tried their best to support him. It's just that the wraith is too strong, and the formation didn't take long It was shattered... Qingxuan held on and just repaired the formation, Xianjing was destroyed. The sky fire was fierce, too numerous and spread too far, and it was impossible to guard against it for a while, Master Yu was also injured accidentally... Although Qingxuan's mana was taken away, his flesh and blood were still divine... At that time, Sanlang and I were fighting with Bai Wuxiang, and we didn't have enough energy to take care of the situation on the ground. Until later, Master designed to cheat Bai Wuxiang back to Tong Lushan, we just found out that something happened to Qingxuan..."

Speaking of this, Xie Lian subconsciously closed his eyes, unable to bear to recall the situation at that time.

Huacheng stepped forward and patted his lover's shoulder.Then he waved his hand, and a silver butterfly flew out from the wristband and landed on Heishui's forehead.

"Close your eyes."

He Xuan did as he did.The image that suddenly flooded into his mind made him feel like a knife pierced his heart - the god who was once glorious, fell to the ground dripping with blood, his meridians were cut off, his body was bruised, his soul was scattered and shattered, and passed away like the wind.

Xie Lian, who landed from the clouds, was terrified, and hurried forward to help Shi Qingxuan, held his hand, held his last breath with spiritual power, and gathered his scattered souls.

Shi Qingxuan opened his eyes, and after seeing Xie Lian, he pulled out a smile and spoke with difficulty——His Royal Highness, the people are all fine.

Xie Lian endured the pain, and forced a smile: Qingxuan, thanks to you...you will be fine.

Shi Qingxuan shook his head: Your Highness, don't comfort me, I'm dying, I know it myself.

Xie Lian endured the sadness: Qingxuan, don't talk nonsense... Mr. Feng Shi is only twenty-eight years old, and he is in his youth, how could he die like this...

Shi Qingxuan laughed when he heard the words.After being ridiculous for a while, tears burst out: Don't call me that... I'm no longer a wind master, and I shouldn't be...

The pupils are a little dizzy, and the focus of the binoculars has been lost.Shi Qingxuan is like a silk: I miss my brother so much...I miss brother Ming so much...

Xie Lian's nasal cavity became hot, and his vision blurred.

Shi Qingxuan said again: Your Royal Highness, can you do me a favor?

Xie Lian clenched his hand, hummed, tilted his head and took the cloth on his shoulders to wipe off the water marks on his face: You say.

Shi Qingxuan's voice became weaker and weaker: Can you help me... Can you give Mr. He another apology? ...I took his life, but I died here, and I can't pay him back...

Just as Xie Lian said good-bye, Shi Qingxuan suddenly frowned again: Wait... I'm confused... He said when he sent me back to the imperial city that my grievances and grievances with him are over, and life and death will be irrelevant from now on... How can I break the contract... His Royal Highness, I have changed my mind... Can you promise me not to tell him the news of my death? ...Hey...I'm being passionate again...He will definitely not ask me...He said that it has nothing to do with me anymore...I...I don't want to add trouble to him after my soul is gone...

good.I promise you.Thanks for the pity, tears slipped down the jaw.For some reason, he suddenly recalled that when he returned to Heaven after his third ascension, Qing Xuan, who had never met each other, sprinkled a hundred thousand merits in the psychic circle to help him out of the siege.There are also several times in the Temple of Divine Martial Arts; the sincerity without prejudice in the rumors of the world; there is also the righteousness in the Bodhisattva Temple who stood up to protect Banyue; Becoming a villain quietly... Xie Lian has lived for 800 years, and he has suffered a lot, and he can be considered indifferent to life and death, but this does not mean that he has lost his heart.His maturity is to learn to let his tears shed for worthy people and things.Just because I have tasted the heat and cold of the situation, I know the value of sincere care.Whoever treats him kindly with his heart, he will remember the other person's kindness - this is all charcoal in the snow, a hat in the rain, and it is one of the most precious emotions in the world.But now, the enthusiastic and hearty wind master Qingxuan is about to die. He has done righteousness and goodness from the beginning to the end, but he has neither a good start nor a good end.There was nothing wrong with him at all, he just recited the vernacular for nothing, the sins of the real immortal, the heaven has no way, and fate is impermanent.But things have come to this, what Xie Lian can do at this moment is to fulfill his last wish and send him through the final journey with peace of mind.

...Thank you...His Royal Highness.Shi Qingxuan closed his eyes, and murmured intermittently: Haha...I'm worthless...I'm suddenly so scared...I'm afraid I won't see my brother...and...

His head drooped weakly, and his voice stopped abruptly.

The screen becomes dark.

Huacheng raised his hand to recall Yindie.

The corners of He Xuan's lips twitched for a while, and it took him a long time to open his eyes.As a ghost king who has cultivated to the extreme, his appearance and physical signs are no different from those of a living person. At this moment, his complexion is pale and gray, and a cold death aura emanates from his whole body.In his eyes, what was broken turned into hatred and sorrow.

At this time, Huacheng stood with arms folded, looking at Heishui, he was very surprised.The other party's eyes at this moment, Huacheng has seen it before.Hundreds of years ago when he first met He Xuan outside Tonglu Mountain, that thin, pale, wandering lone soul who had not yet recovered from madness, under the messy hair soaked in blood, had this kind of look in his eyes. ——The hatred of murderous intent, and the sorrow of losing a loved one.

"I'll go with you."

After leaving a word, He Xuan turned and entered the inner hall, and walked out again after a while, holding a pair of bone blades in his hands.

Huacheng recognized the pair of bone blades.This was made by He Xuan using his own bones shortly after he became a master.He originally forged the sword to avenge blood, but it was the first time he sacrificed it under such circumstances after three to five hundred years.Huacheng sighed in his heart.

I know that you have been in black water for hundreds of years, and you have made a fake show for hundreds of years. You have both resentment and sweetness, hatred and love, so much pain, and a dilemma.But I don't know if you agreed to come forward to help this time, is it to inherit his legacy of helping the world, for the sake of the world, or just to avenge the wind master?If it is the former, you will regard the world as Shi Qingxuan from now on; if it is the latter, then the world in your heart is not as good as a teacher Qingxuan.Or maybe, both, but in the end it is inseparable from that person.

On the way to Tonglu Mountain, Heishui didn't say a word.Xie Lian always thinks of Shi Qingxuan's remains, and feels depressed for a while.He hooked the hooked flower city's little finger, but the opponent held back tightly.

Glancing at He Xuan's back, Huacheng glanced at the bag on his waist again, and sighed imperceptibly.

Fengshi Qingxuan, his crime is innocent.The hatred of the past can be ignored; but the love of the past, I don't know if He Xuan will have a chance to reveal his heart again.
