【Xie Chen】Live like this

Shen Ye was walking on the precarious corridor leading to the silence, and the gravel kept falling around him, making a continuous dull sound, this movement was really disturbing, and made his heart, which was as still as stagnant water, a little turbulent , recalling some of the most distant past events.

Maybe the road is too long, and the thoughts are not dead after all. I need to find some memories to fill this too long dead silence, but some things are familiar to me, and some things are hard to look back on, so I force some insignificant fragments from the abyss of memory. pull out.

At that time, he had just accepted Xie Yi as his apprentice not long ago.

Shen Ye heard the crisp footsteps of children running along the long corridor on the four walls.

He didn't need to look up to know who was coming.

The people in Liuyue City walked very lightly, as if they were afraid of waking up something. If they were to meet the high priest, they would be more cautious and almost silent.Xie Yi is a different one. He walks briskly, lively, and eager. Every step is full of vigor and vitality. He is incompatible with the noble halls, the empty corridors, and any place in Liuyue City. .

Shen Ye put down the letter, and before he got up, Xie Yi rushed to him, plunged into his arms, and shouted happily: "Master, Master~"

Shen Ye was knocked to one side by him, raised his hand to press the back of the naughty disciple's head, shook his head and reproached him, "You're being reckless, you're getting more and more unruly."

Xie Yi wrapped his arms around his waist, sticking his whole body tightly to him, and raised his immature face with a fresh color: "Master, I thought of something amazing today!"

"Oh?"

Shen Ye raised his eyebrows slightly, sighed slightly, and a playful smile appeared on his lips: "It's nothing more than a plaything like a small fish or a bird."

"It's not a toy!"

Xie Yi immediately argued loudly, flattened his mouth in dissatisfaction, and told Shen Ye with gestures and gestures: "I want to make a Yanjia that can store pictures, and can store people I like and beautiful scenery I have seen. I want to see The people you want to see can be seen at any time, and the scenery you want to see can also be reproduced at any time, Master, don't you think such a Yanjia is very powerful?"

While Xie Yixu was chattering, Shen Ye straightened his body, untied the messy braids at the back of his head, combed them to make them smooth, and then re-braided them from top to bottom.

"It's a really good idea."

Seeing Xie Yi looking at him eagerly, Shen Ye let go of his neatly braided braids, nodded his head in approval, and before Xie Yi could get any better, he poured cold water on him: "However, in Floating Moon City, what are you doing?" People can't see it, what scenery can't be seen, what's the point of such Yanjia?"

Xie Yi was not discouraged, he still said enthusiastically: "But I believe that one day we will find the way to break the boundary, and we will not be trapped in the city forever. At that time, the disciple will visit the great rivers and mountains together with Master, and will It is my disciple's wish to record all the beautiful scenery in the world."

Shen Ye rested his elbows on the armrest of the seat, and rested his fingers on his chin, listening to his eloquent talk without comment.

Xie Yi said a lot on his own, but he didn't get a reply from the master, and he felt too noisy, so he shut up embarrassingly.However, after being quiet for less than half a minute, his eyes lit up, and he hugged Shen Ye's arm again: "Master, do you have any wishes, tell me."

"Wish?" Shen Ye sneered, bent his fingers, and made a gesture to tap Xie Yi's smooth and plump forehead: "Instead of dreaming endlessly, it's better to do some practical things that are right in front of you. I think you just daydream too much. My head is full of wild ideas."

Xie Yi hurriedly raised his hand to protect his forehead, seeing that Shen Ye was just threatening, he smiled and pawed his long sleeves and acted like a spoiled child: "But how can a person have no desires, and only when they have desires can they be motivated to do things, the master told the disciples Let's go~"

Shen Ye couldn't resist him, so he thought about it seriously, raised his eyes to look at the desolate twilight that penetrated through the skylight of the dome, and said slowly: "My lord... I hope to find a warm and humid place with lush vegetation in winter. Then move the Lishan people there, and they will no longer suffer from sickness and turbidity."

Xie Yi couldn't help nodding, obviously very satisfied with this distant scene with only outlines, lying on Shen Ye's knees, looking at his most revered master with bright eyes: "Then what about you, master, you still go to the cave to do it high priest?"

"This seat is naturally located in Liuyue City."

Xie Yi let out a dumbfounded cry, and then his whole face wrinkled: "Why doesn't Master come with us?"

He asked so earnestly that Shen Ye almost forgot that this was just a misty dream, so he started to plan with his usual thinking in a serious mood: "The Lord of Cangming has merged with Jumu, and this seat is the owner of the Lord of Cangming. High Priest, where the natural city lord is, this seat will be there."

Xie Yi was obviously dissatisfied with this answer. The child's emotions were real and strong, and he didn't know how to pretend at all, so he immediately lowered his head silently.

"What's the matter, are you suddenly unhappy?"

Sensing that he was depressed, Shen Ye raised his head helplessly, and unexpectedly saw that Xie Yi had two tears in his eyes, looking like he was about to cry.

Shen Ye was stunned for a moment, not understanding why he was sad, and reprimanded him with a straight face: "Look at you, you cry every now and then, how do you look like a disciple of this seat."

Xie Yi was still young, and his heart was suddenly filled with a heaviness and sadness that even he didn't understand, and he was reprimanded by his master. He couldn't help the grievance immediately, and the corner of his mouth twitched, and he just grabbed Shen Ye's sleeve and cried loudly. stand up.

"You!... How decent! Xie Yi, you are my disciple, and the entire Liuyue City will be entrusted to you in the future. You have such a fragile temperament, how can you bear the heavy responsibility."

Shen Ye got a headache from his crying, frowned and scolded again, Xie Yi cried even louder, his fair and well-behaved face was blurred with tears and snot.

The dignity and majesty of Ziwei High Priest are useless at all in front of children.

Shen Ye pressed the throbbing forehead, had no choice but to hold Xie Yi on his knees, and coaxed in a soft voice: "Don't cry, is it possible that I will tell you a story like coaxing Xiao Xi?"

Xie Yi gradually stopped his tears, but he still couldn't stop his sobs, his fingers tightly tugged at the corner of his loose robe sleeve: "I want to be with Master."

He came up with this sentence out of nowhere, and Shen Ye was stunned for a moment, recalling what he just talked about, he couldn't help laughing: "I just said it casually, and you take it seriously. Who can predict the future , Maybe you will spend your entire life as a teacher, and you won't even be able to find a place to live in Lie Shanbu, so you can only rely on you."

"The disciple is serious!"

Xie Yi raised his sleeves and wiped away the tears indiscriminately, wiping too hard, the pupils and around the eyes were red, he stared straight at Shen Ye, with a childish determination on his face, and said word by word: "No matter what!" What a wonderful place, as long as the master does not go, the disciples will not go either. Where the master is, the disciples will be there."

Shen Ye was slightly taken aback when he heard the words, but only smiled lightly, and raised his hand to stroke Xie Yi's hair.His hair was still so soft, and some new short hairs scratched the palm of his hand fluffy, like Asakusa in spring.

Just a kid.

Xie Yi was dissatisfied with his silent and perfunctory attitude, bit his lip and felt sulking for a long time, and finally had a flash of inspiration, and angrily took out a sound concentrating stone from his pocket: "Master, we all store our wishes in this stone, so Just leave the certificate, and no one will try to play tricks in the future."

Regardless of Shen Ye's approval or not, Xie Yi grabbed the stone with both hands and solemnly made his vow.

Where the master is, there will be the disciples.

It was obviously a very childish declaration, but Shen Ye didn't take it very seriously, but felt a rush of heat flowing through his heart, bringing a warm and comforting heartfelt comfort.

This city is lonely, cold, empty, and lifeless. It has been like this for thousands of years, and the position of the high priest is even more so. After a long time, even the body and mind are frozen, and the chill and death that permeate the city are tainted.Although he already knew that no one could be counted on, he still longed for a little warm company.

People always yearn for bright and beautiful things, which is an instinct engraved in the flesh and blood of the soul, even if they fall into the long darkness, this innate desire cannot be erased.

So when Xie Yi was serious and lifted the stone that contained his childish wish in front of him, he pondered for a while, and finally couldn't help but said slowly with a particularly solemn mood: I hope to have a paradise, a warm place. It is humid and the vegetation is lush. The Lieshan tribe can move there and no longer suffer from sickness and turbidity.

From the day he was sent to Jumu, he no longer pinned his hopes on any illusory things.

Shen Ye never dreamed, nor did he believe in dreams. Long Binyu's future was achieved by sacrificing every step he took. It was his duty, and had nothing to do with his dreams and wishes.

Looking back now, it was probably the only time in his life that he was willing to describe and believe in a beautiful wish.

At that time, he held Xie Yi's warm young body in his arms, and earnestly longed for that warm and beautiful world, he would put him, Xiaoxi, Huayue, Tong, and his loved ones in peace. Send it safely to that world.

Now, they are all dead, some died for him, and some were killed by him.

The wish... but the extravagant wish of the phantom mist and empty flower was waiting to come to nothing from the moment it was made. This is something he already knew, but at that time, when he made that wish, he actually believed that it would eventually come true .

Shen Ye closed his eyes, pulled his thoughts away from the memories, his mind was blank, his eyes were blank, he walked the last step at the end of the corridor without thinking, and stepped into the silence.

That dialogue about wishes was really a long time ago, and when it resurfaced before his eyes at the last moment, he didn't feel sad, and even his mood at that time was also blurred.

And it is impossible to remember whether the stone that stored the wish was destroyed or where it was left.
