【Xie Chen】Live like this

The scenery in the picture of Taoyuan Xianju is still the same, the mountains and rivers alternate with each other, and the four seasons are distinct. The kitchen and living room on the open flat ground on the mountainside have been renovated, and there are a few more houses with blue exterior walls and gold paint. The shape is very unique and quite exotic. style.

Xie Yi saw it at a glance, became curious, temporarily put aside the business, and dragged Shen Ye over to study the structure of the house.

Shen Ye watched Xie Yi walk around the house, walked in a few steps to look at it, took a few steps away to look at it, knocked here and there, then pressed his fingers on the wall, turned around and smiled and said, "I'm vaguely familiar with this kind of building." I have seen it before, it should be that there are sharks living in the Mingzhuhai area, their houses are of this style, in the early years, I went all the way to inquire about Zhaoming's whereabouts, and I did not expect to go there."

"You have been to a lot of weird places."

"In order to find Zhaoming's whereabouts, I did go to many interesting places. It was eye-opening. I don't know if they are still there now. Let's go and see together in the future."

Xie Yi looked excited, Shen Ye looked at him and smiled gently, neither saying yes nor no bad.

He is not as optimistic as Xie Yi in the face of the great enemy, and the word "afterwards" is too illusory and far away.

Xie Yi raised his eyes and looked at the green hills in the distance, and suggested with a smile: "The gazebo is on the lake, just go down the mountain road, let's go down, so we can see the scenery."

Seeing that he was in a good mood, Shen Ye was unwilling to take his favor on such a small matter, and said softly, "Okay."

They walked down the mountain path side by side with sporadic wild flowers. The picture of Taoyuan Xianju was originally owned by Xie Yi. He is very familiar with the scenery of this place, and he pointed it out to Shen Ye from time to time. Somewhere there is a flying spring and a waterfall. Shen Ye came here for the first time. Seeing the beautiful scenery and full of spiritual energy, he was gradually aroused to look at the scenery, and followed Xie Yi's guidance to look around.

"I found this album by accident when I was in the lower world. I thought it was just an ordinary landscape painting, but I didn't expect that there is another world in it, and it has the beauty of mountains and rivers, and the interest of farming and mulberry. People can't help but have the image of the old Linquan. idea."

Xie Yi explained softly.

He didn't say that at that time, he felt like he had found a treasure, and he really wanted to take this Taoyuan Heaven and Earth back to show his master, and the person who wanted to die together in the spring was also his master.

Shen Ye squinted his eyes to face the warm spring sun, smiled slightly, and sighed softly: "It is indeed a good place."

Seeing that he likes it, Xie Yi shook his hand, and there was more joy and anticipation in his smile: "It is very magical inside, prepared for all seasons, and there is a hot spring on the top of the mountain, sprinkle some spices down there and soak for a while, it can cure diseases , to get tired. I'll show you around later?"

With this look, Shen Ye could tell at the first sight that he probably had collected some interesting things here in the past. He didn't have a chance back then, so now he couldn't wait to show him.

Xie Yi always has a youthful heart that can't be worn away by time and suffering, and Shen Ye has an indescribable liking for it.

Whenever Xie Yi showed his youthful nature and asked him for something, Shen Ye would always ask for it, but couldn't help but tease him a little bit, so he neither agreed nor refused, but said vaguely: "We'll talk about it after we find Zhaoming."

"Okay." Xie Yi smiled even more joyfully with his eyes bent.

As early as thousands of years ago, when he was still Shen Ye's mischievous apprentice, Xie Yi knew that every request of his, even if Shen Ye didn't agree clearly, he would never let him down in the end.

The wind and lotus on the lake are as clear as yesterday, and the gazebo stands quietly among the water, light, and cloud shadows. A hexagonal metal pattern protrudes from the floor tiles in the middle of the gazebo. There was a slight clicking sound of operation, and the metal figure was seamlessly connected with the bottom groove.

The spiritual light burst out from the interface like a fire, and the flame became more and more intense. The Yanjia made the sound of gears rotating, and the sound was amazing. It seemed that something was about to burst out of it, and the gazebo began to shake endlessly. Xie Yi stood firm, Take two steps back and stand with Shen Ye.

He thought he could see the phantom of Le Wuyi, but unexpectedly, after all the movement stopped, the floor tile moved to the inside, and there was a ground lock underneath. On the coat of arms.

The yanjia bird turned its head to look at them, opened and closed its pointed beak, and Le Wuyi's voice came out with a smile: "Everyone, it's been a long time. That...although we met at the entrance of the tomb, but come here, It probably took a lot of work."

Le Wuyi's voice contains the same characteristics as himself, so just listening to him speak, you can also outline Le Wuyi's face and expression in front of your eyes.

Xie Yi looked at the lifelike Yanjia bird with a smile.

It's disappointing not to see him in person, but it's also considered... ingenious to have a conversation with an old person in this way.

It's just that the person next to him obviously doesn't think so.Shen Ye clicked his tongue unhappily, low and short, but Xie Yi still heard it.

The yanjia bird flapped its wings a few times, rubbed its paws on the ground lock, raised its head, and said in a loud and authentic voice: "It's not easy for everyone, you should see each other in your true colors, but I'm an old man, so I'm not as good as this yanjia bird." The first bird is wise and mighty, fortunately let it out and speak for me."

"Everyone who comes here must be Zhaoming. Zhaoming is here, because it contains tyrannical divine power. I am afraid that bad people will use it as a disaster, so I have to take care to keep it. This place is extremely secret. Since everyone has arrived smoothly, it is God's will. No matter you What is the purpose, Zhaoming is what you deserve. But before handing it over to Zhaoming, I still have a few words to say, so please bear with me for now."

Yanjianiao's voice was low, and he said solemnly: "When I was young, I used to take Zhaoming to avenge people, thinking that I could stop evil deeds. But when I really stood in front of that person, I realized that the truth was far from what I expected. I still don’t agree with what that person did, but I have to understand his difficulties.”

"Half my life was smooth, and half my life was rough. I used to hate myself for not being strong enough, and watched my teacher die. Later, I inherited the master's peerless Yanshu. I have the Zhaoming Excalibur and the monster Kunpeng, but there are still very few things I can do. Few. My wife died in battle, my best friend’s dynasty was overthrown, and the other’s spiritual energy dissipated within sixty years and turned into vegetation. In the end, I couldn’t save anyone alone.”

Speaking of this, Yan Jianiao closed his eyes and shook his head, sighed deeply, and continued in silence for a while before continuing: "What I want to say is, for one thing, no matter how strong external forces are, they are by no means omnipotent, so don't rely too much on them; The second is that the power of light is enough to kill gods and demons. Its nature is neither good nor evil. It depends on who holds it and where it is used. However, God's will tricks people. Even if the original intention is good, the result may be counterproductive. If it is used as a disaster , it often harms oneself. Therefore, please be careful."

The Yanjia bird shook its wings, raised its neck, looked over with burning eyes, changed its voice, raised its tone again, and said loudly: "However, it is true that God's will is unpredictable, but when things come to an end, we should do our best. Looking at it now, most of the efforts I have made in my life are probably useless, but if I can start over, I will still do my best. Since you have worked so hard to find Zhaoming, I am afraid that you will encounter major events related to gods and demons. It takes a lot of effort to make good use of it.”

"Having said so much, you're probably getting impatient," the Yanjiao laughed loudly, turned its head away, straightened its beak and smoothed the fine hair around its neck, put away its paws and squatted down: "The key to the ground lock is in the chest cavity , take it yourself."

After Yan Jianiao finished speaking, he lowered his head and closed his eyes, and remained motionless.

For a long time neither of them spoke.

Xie Yi thought of Le Wuyi living on campus in modern society. He was almost the same as the one who worshiped him as a teacher thousands of years ago, with the same cheerful outlook and boundless vitality.

And this old and benevolent soul contained in the body of Yanjia Bird, who has never changed his optimism after life and death, is a joy that he has never seen before, but strangely does not feel strange.

There are also three other people who are inseparable from him. When they first met, those young people walked together like they do now. Overcoming thorns and thorns, there is no disadvantage.

I don't want to end up separated from the middle way, life and death are boundless.

God's will tricks people, as for Si.

Shen Ye took the lead to step into the gazebo, picked up the Yanjia bird, groped around the chest and found the small mechanism, and flicked lightly, the breastplate automatically opened immediately, revealing the twisted wires in it, and a faint red light flickered in the center, Shen Ye Ye carefully pinched the glowing metal object, pulled it out slowly, and pinched it with his fingertips for a closer look.

It is a Huasheng, and the style is the same as Le's coat of arms.

Huasheng is wrapped in layers of spiritual power, and the spiritual light attached to it can be seen shining with the naked eye, so it is still intact after thousands of years.

Shen Ye inserted Huasheng into the keyhole, and the ground lock was unlocked. Zhaoming was supported by the metal sword stand, and slowly rose from the bottom. The rise stopped when the bottom of the sword stand was flush with the ground.

Shen Ye picked up Zhaoming, and slashed across the blade with two fingers together. Zhaoming's sword heart and Shennong's spiritual power interacted with each other, and the blade of the sword flowed like ice and snow.

He turned around with his sword in his hand, and looked at Xie Yi who was looking at him: "The last time I saw Le Wuyi, I said that I really want to see what he looks like ten years from now."

A faint smile appeared in Xie Yi's eyes, and he looked at him quietly without saying a word.

"He's still as naive as he was then, abusive, noisy, and nosy," Shen Ye leaned over while speaking, put Yanjianiao and Huasheng into the ground lock, stretched out his finger and pointed on the top of the bird's head, He closed his eyes and smiled.

"However... it did not disappoint."

After getting Zhaoming, the two strolled between Tianchou and Taolin, and unknowingly saw most of the scenery of Taoyuan Xianju. Xie Yiyuan wanted to take Shen Ye to the hot spring, but Wenren Yujiu was worried, so he had to Dismissed the idea.

Returning from the teleportation array to the outside world, Wen Renyu was indeed sitting in the chair next to the picture of Taoyuan Xianju, his eyes resting on a point in the air.She was not looking at anything, there was no image in her eyes, as if she had seen nothing, and for some reason, her expression was extremely gloomy.

Seeing the appearance of the two people, she was taken aback for a moment before standing up and asking: "Is there any gain?"

Her complexion returned to normal, with a cold and upright expression unique to soldiers, and if you look carefully, you can still find a gloomy look that cannot be concealed.

Xie Yi couldn't help being puzzled secretly, but his face didn't reveal anything, he smiled and said: "Zhaoming found it, thanks to Miss Wenren's help."

"Where is Master Xie, I can't fight against the demons with you. This is the only thing I can do now... I don't know, what are the two plans going forward?"

Xie Yi glanced at Shen Ye, and said first, "We plan to return to Longbing Island immediately."

"Let's go now?!" Wen Renyu blurted out, and she felt that she seemed to be overreacting, she lowered her head and turned her wristband nervously, and said in an unnatural tone: "I mean... It’s hard to come by, so why hurry, you can rest for a while before leaving.”

Xie Yi's eyes darkened, and he said in a deep voice: "I don't know when the heart demon will come, fighting with the heart demon will inevitably bring disaster to others, it's better to go back as soon as possible."

Moreover, getting rid of the demons in Longbingyu is also to comfort the tribe.

Wen Renyu was silent for a moment, then slowly opened his lips and said: "...In that case, the teleportation array is behind Yanjiafang, I... will send you out now."

Xie Yi thanked him, then turned to Shen Ye and said, "Aye, go and call Twelve, and then tidy up your things, shall we meet outside Yanjiafang?"

Shen Ye met his eyes, and the corners of his lips pursed slightly: "Okay."

After Shen Ye left, Wen Renyu walked towards the door, but Xie Yi stood still.

"Thank you, Master?"

Xie Yi said solemnly: "If there is anything wrong with Miss Wenren, you might as well just tell me."

Wen Renyu opened his lips slightly in surprise, and said after a while: "How did Master Xie know..."

Xie Yi sighed softly: "Miss Wenren didn't let me go to Yanjiafang before, but just now she looked different and hesitated to speak. Although Xie is dull, it is not difficult to guess that the girl has something on her mind."

"I……"

Wen Renyu's face turned pale, and he seemed hesitant like never before, and suddenly he knelt down on one knee with military etiquette, and begged: "To tell you the truth, Master, I have an unfeeling request, but I have been hesitating all the time, but... ...this is my last chance..."

Xie Yi hurriedly leaned over, took Wen Renyu's arm and helped her up: "Don't do this. Miss Wen Ren, please tell me, as long as I can help, I will spare no effort."

"I don't know what to say," Wen Renyu took a deep breath, his face was still bloodless: "Master Xie follow me to Yanjiafang to have a look and you will know. If Master Xie finds it difficult, I will not force it."

Xie Yi nodded: "Okay."

Shen Ye and Twelve were already waiting outside Yanjia's room, each carrying a travel bag, Zhao Ming wrapped it in layers of dark cloth and tied it outside Shen Ye's black backpack with a climbing rope.

Wen Renyu bowed his hands to the two of them after approaching, and said apologetically, "I'm ashamed, I need Master Xie's help with something, can you wait a moment?"

Shen Ye looked at Xie Yi with a questioning look, the latter nodded his head lightly, he stopped asking, turned to Wen Renyu and said, "It's okay."

The two walked into Yanjiafang one after the other.

The size of the room is not large. The ordinary bamboo and wood structure has two entrances to the hut. The inside and outside are separated by bamboo curtains. There are two windows on the sunny wall of the outside, covered by bamboo curtains. Jia's utensils, atlases, and some semi-finished products are neatly displayed on wooden shelves, which is not as tidy as Yanshi's room.

The light in the room is a little dim, there is only a bamboo bed, with a goose-yellow curtain, and on the bedpost leaning to the outside, squatting a carapace bird, with its head buried in its folded wings, as if taking a nap.

Wen Renyu directly opened the bamboo curtain and walked into the room, knelt down beside the bed, the Yanjia bird was startled by the sound, flapped its wings and flew up, and landed on her shoulder.

Xie Yi then stepped in, and opened his eyes slightly to adapt to the dim light. He found that the bedding on the bed was slightly raised, as if there was a person lying there, and when he saw it clearly, he suddenly opened his eyes wide.

Le Wuyi... Or Yanjia Le Wuyi lying on the bed, his chest rising and falling gently, eyes closed as if sleeping peacefully.

It took Xie Yi a long time to make a sound: "Miss Wenren, this..."

Wen Renyu looked sideways at Xie Yi, smiled shyly, and held Yanjia Le Wuyi to reveal his hands: "As you can see, Master Yue not only made me, but also made Yanjia that was exactly like him. People... just decades later, I woke up like a big dream, and inexplicably became conscious and conscious, but he still... failed to wake up."

Wen Renyu lowered his head, his face was hidden in the shadow cast by the bed curtain, and said in a low voice: "Over the years, I have tried countless methods, but all failed without exception. He can only move under instructions. He is no different from ordinary Yan Jia. Later, I decided to go outside to have a look. I was always restless at first, and I would come back every three to five days to see if he would suddenly wake up like me. Naturally, I was disappointed every time. Later, I wanted to go a little farther and leave a sound-transmitting scorpion next to the bed. If he woke up, I would know immediately no matter where he went. Since then, I've been waiting every day, one year, five years, ten years, decades... It's been too long, I was full of hope at first, but it gradually faded away, but even so, I still couldn't help but think every day, Maybe there will be news tomorrow... Just like that, nearly a thousand years have passed."

Xie Yi felt his throat tighten, and it became extremely difficult to speak: "Miss Wenren, do you want me to help him rebuild the meditation box?"

"No," Wen Renyu's voice was so low that he could barely hear it, but he said resolutely, "I want to ask Master Xie to take out the Moon Fluorite from his mind."

Xie Yi was slightly stunned, his brows gradually furrowed, he was not overly surprised, but bitter.

Wen Renyu smiled dryly: "Master Xie understands, too much time has passed, even if he wakes up by chance in the future, the things in his memory are already too far away from everything outside. , and what it's like to live alone like this, I don't even dare to think about it."

Seeing Xie Yi remain silent, Wen Renyu's voice trembled, almost incoherently said: "I know this request is very unreasonable, this matter should be done by me, but I... no matter what, I just can't do it ……I……"

No wonder she said this was her last chance.

Xie Yi took a deep breath, walked to the bed, bent down, patted Wen Renyu's shoulder, and said softly, "Needless to say, I understand."

He straightened up, looked at An Tian's sleeping face on the pillow, secretly clenched his fingers under his sleeves, and pinched them into his palms: "I am the master of Wuyi, and I am also the one who passed down haganism. In this situation, I also have an unshirkable responsibility...Miss Wenren, please wait outside, and leave the rest to me."

After half a cup of tea, Xie Yi opened the bamboo curtain and came out from the room. Wen Renyu leaned against the wooden frame and lowered her eyes, staring at the floor without moving. When she heard the movement, she straightened up suddenly, raised her eyes, Xie Yi saw Fear flickered in her eyes.

"Master Xie..." Wen Renyu muttered in a low voice with blood-stained lips, then pursed his lips tightly, unable to utter another word.

Xie Yi tried his best to keep his expression and demeanor as usual, he approached slowly, and handed a wooden box that could be held in both hands to Wen Renyu.

Wen Renyu's face was pale, and he raised his fingers to approach the wooden box, but before touching it, he curled back as if frightened, and finally grasped it tightly with both hands.

The edges and corners of the wooden box rested on the palm, which contained the waiting that had been lost in the thousand years. Wen Renyu's knuckles were uncontrollably weak, and he could hardly support the weight.

Staring blankly at the top of the box cover, Wen Renyu twitched the corner of his mouth stiffly, revealing an empty smile with no content.

"Thank you so much, I..."

Her voice was trembling, low and soft, suddenly her figure swayed, she fell to her knees without any warning, her elbow hit the wooden frame inadvertently, a few books of atlases fell at her feet, and the rolled scrolls spread out in a mess Come, Xie Yi glanced at it in a hurry, and there were faint ink lines on the map, which was roughly the design blueprint of the meditation box.

"Worship girl!"

Xie Yi stepped forward and stretched out his hand to help, but stopped before touching Wen Renyu.

She is shaking.

It seemed that the strongest but deadliest part of the body had a crack, and the damage spread irreparably from that place, and the indestructible appearance that had been forged by time was instantly shattered.

After an unknown amount of time, I could only hear Wen Renyu muttering to himself.

"I've waited...too long..."

"I can't remember...how many years have passed..."

Wen Renyu leaned forward, holding the wooden box tightly to his chest with one hand, and resting on the floor with the other, his fingertips trembling and slowly clenched into fists, the fingertips rubbed against the floor, leaving blood-stained scratches.

She lowered her head and made a voice that was half crying and half laughing, so hoarse that it was almost unrecognizable.

"Ha... now finally, finally... there is no need to wait any longer."

The voice stopped here.

A drop of tear fell on the floor, staining a small circle of dark gray water, and soon another drop.

The traces of thousands of years of time finally appeared on her body. Wen Renyu knelt down and wept silently, then choked up in a low voice, and finally cried heart-piercingly.

The curved line of her back looked old and brittle.

Xie Yi looked away and couldn't bear to look any longer, walked to the door alone, put his finger on the door panel and took a deep breath, and said in a low voice: "Miss Wenren, I'm really sorry. We are not in a hurry to leave, take your time."

It was already night outside, and the control system of Yanjia faithfully simulated the dark blue night sky, with stars hanging all over the fields and the moon rising in the east.

Shen Ye and Twelve sat on the stone bench under the crabapple tree. A wind lantern was hung on the top of the tree. The dim candlelight illuminated the leaves and flowers hazyly. From time to time, petals were blown off by the night wind and swirled lightly. fall.

The two of them each held a small piece of stone and were carving something on the stone table. The corners of Twelve's pursed lips slightly raised, looking a little excited.

Seeing Xie Yi come out, Twelve put down the stone and stood up, greeted with a smile, "Master Pojun Priest."

Shen Ye also turned around, with a smile in his eyes as well, but he glanced at Xie Yi's face, then was slightly startled, and frowned.

"doing what?"

Xie Yi forced a smile, walked to the table and looked down, the stone slab was carved with white lines and circles of latitude and longitude, and it turned out to be backgammon.

"With nothing to do, I played a few rounds, but I always lost."

Twelve saw that Xie Yi's complexion was not looking good, so he answered briefly, and then found an excuse to evade: "I left something in the room, just go and come."

After Twelve left, Shen Ye stood up, stretched out his hand to caress Xie Yi's face, Xie Yi raised his hand and pressed it on the back of his hand, Shen Ye felt that his palm was cold.

"What happened, why didn't Wen Renyu come out with you?"

Xie Yi shook his head, his eyes showed sadness and confusion that he had never seen before.

"Aye, back then, due to various reasons, I was obsessed with designing Yanjia people who were just like real people. I also failed countless times along the way, but in the end...you know, I succeeded."

He sighed, and said in a low voice: "In retrospect, I did unnecessary things after all. If it weren't for my single-mindedness at the time, I wouldn't have caused the situation today."

Shen Ye gently rubbed Xie Yi's cheek with his fingertips, his eyes were calm and gentle, and he said softly: "What has happened, it is meaningless to entangle right and wrong. Besides, in the situation at that time, you would definitely do that. You are not looking forward to the future That kind of person."

"Besides, just as Le Wuyi said, God's will tricks people, along the way, there are so few accidents happening? If I have to investigate everything, don't I..."

"Aye," Xie Yi hurriedly interrupted his words when he heard this, rubbing his cheek against Shen Ye's palm, burying his warm breath in his slightly warmer palm, and sighing softly, "It's my fault, I couldn't figure it out for a moment, but I asked you to comfort me."

Twelve dawdled around for enough time to return to the tree again, and Wen Renyu also happened to walk out of Yanjiafang with a package in his hand.

Wen Renyu said: "I'm really sorry for the delay for so long, I'll take everyone out right now, please follow me."

After saying that, she led the way ahead, and the three of them followed behind her silently.

The fragility and collapse just now had no trace on her body, and Wen Renyu still looked steadfast, with firm eyes.However, there is indeed something different, her movements are more or less stiff and slow, and the freshness of human beings in her expression has also faded away, replaced by a cold and mechanical blankness.

Xie Yi looked at Wen Renyu's back, feeling sad.

Her waiting was doomed to be in vain, but when the end came, it still caused irreparable damage to her, both mentally and physically. Xie Yi could tell that she was speeding towards the 'end'.

Wen Renyu led them through the luxuriant wisteria trellis to the back of the house, where there was only a small open space with a well.

Wen Renyu knelt down to hold the railing of the well and recited the incantation silently. A star light flowed out from her fingertips, floated to the sky and circled for several weeks, and disappeared in a flash. The illusion barrier was removed, and the location of the well became a place where incantations circulated. transmission array.

Wen Renyu stood up and turned to Xie Yi and his party: "From here you can teleport directly to the entrance of the tomb passage. After you leave, I will block the tomb passage and destroy the teleportation array to prevent anyone from entering by mistake."

Xie Yi was taken aback, and asked aloud: "Block the tomb passage? Then how will Zhaoming return it to Miss Wenren?"

"You don't need to return it, it's better to entrust it to Master Xie than to leave this place covered in dust."

Wen Renyu handed the package to Xie Yi: "This is the picture of Taoyuan Xianju, as well as some medicinal herbs and Yanjia materials I collected during my travels. They are not rare treasures, but they are also very rare. I will keep them for no benefit. , but maybe you can use it, please accept it, Master Xie."

Xie Yi couldn't refuse, so he simply took the package, and thanked Wen Renyu: "Thank you, Miss Wenren, for your kindness."

Seeing him accepting the package, Wen Renyu smiled slightly, retreated to the side of the magic circle, clasped his fists and said, "Let's just leave it alone, I won't send it far away. The evil spirit is vicious and cunning, please be more careful."

The figures of Twelve and Shen Ye disappeared in the teleportation one after another, Xie Yi was the last one to step onto the magic circle, and looked at Wen Renyu through the golden light.

She has gone through several generations in this world, and those who have met her and remembered her have long since disappeared in the long flow of time. Only she has stayed for a long time, and in the long wait and final despair, she is heading for her own end.

Xie Yi couldn't help feeling sad.

He pressed his palms on his chest, bowed slightly, extended the Shennong ceremony, and said calmly: "Miss Wenren, although it is useless to say it, but I... am very sorry."

Through the strong light, Wen Renyu's figure seemed far away, like a phantom.

The teleportation circle was activated, and the space began to distort.

Wen Renyu cupped his fists and saluted him from afar, his lips moved slightly, and his voice came intermittently, Xie Yi could only hear the last four words clearly.

"……This life worthwhile."

The golden light in front of Xie Yi's eyes was suddenly bright, and when the light dimmed, the scene in front of him changed, and the bitter night wind was blowing towards his face with gravel.

He was outside the tomb, standing in the boundless desert together with Shen Ye and Twelve.
