【Cang Qiao】Bodhi

The coalition forces of the monster and demon clans attacked fiercely, but the Lin clan army commanded by Bei Mingshang was not defenseless.Swords and halberds intersected, soldiers met at close quarters, and tens of thousands of soldiers poured in from both sides of the boundary monument in an overwhelming momentum, and they were glued to the front line after a short period of time.The sound of Jia Ge and iron strokes layered up, bringing blood rain to disperse, mixed into the gentle sea breeze, and dyed the air into a smell of blood rust unique to salty.The buzzing of the cold iron blended with the roar of the fighting, the sound was fierce, and it sounded especially sad and heroic under the dark sky.

Qiao Tathagata went to the front with Fei Yuan and his party.Entrusted by Bei Mingshang, he went to the village to coordinate the evacuation and appease the people, and then returned to the station with the soldiers, searched for medicine and water, and helped the army doctors take care of the wounded soldiers who were sent back to the rear.Cang Yue Guming was still by Qiao Tathagata's side. The tense outside situation made him dare not relax at all. He closely followed the white-clothed monk back and forth between the military tents, never slacking off.

- this wound...

Cang Yue Guming stared at the scars on the body of a certain non-commissioned officer, and fell into deep thought.

This wound is not one, but divided into three verticals. From the slanted shoulder bone of the man to the chest, the crack is not smooth. It is obvious that it was not cut with cold iron. From Cang Yue Guming's point of view, it is more like a wound. ...injured by beast claws.

The toes and claws of ordinary beasts are not so big, and there is an unpleasant smell coming from the wound, so this injury is probably the masterpiece of the monster clan, and Xi Miao has the assistant royal family and the thigh The important minister is in charge of the overall situation, so he will not take the initiative to collude with the demons and accomplice the human world, so this is probably...

——Dong Miao.

Thinking of this, Cang Yue Guming's heart sank.

The conjecture in his mind was confirmed almost immediately.

The news came from the front that the coalition forces of the two clans were composed of the demon world Dongmiao and the demon realm Jiyue Jiangchao, and the masters of the two countries even marched to the front line, with the intention that this battle would destroy the Lin clan.

——Uncle Zuwang.

Cang Yue Guming sighed silently.

- You still never give up.

■

The two worlds of demons and demons are not unified.Among them, the demon world is divided and ruled by Dongmiao and Ximiao, and the demon world is divided into three pillars: Shura Kingdom, Jiyue Jiang Dynasty, and Dark Alliance.

Jingri Guming, the Lord of East Miao, was formerly the father of Cang Yue Guming, the Lord of West Miao. In terms of seniority, Cang Yue Guming should also be called "Uncle Patriarch".Before the split of the demon world, Jingri Guming was the "King of Beijing" in Miaojiang. He was supported by the royal family and enjoyed the highest honor. Even the former King Miao respected him.But it is such Jingri Guming who has hidden evil intentions, launched a rebellion thousands of years ago, designed to kill the current Miao Wang Haoqiong Guming, forced the prince Cang Yue Guming away, sought power and usurped the throne, and successfully became king.But the world is impermanent, Jingri Guming claimed the king but in just ten years, he was expelled from the throne by Cang Yue Guming, who returned to the demon world, and fled. , no longer pursue and suppress.

But the former "King of Beijing" was not content with the status quo, and his ambition and power were still there.He traveled to the border between demons and demons, gathered old troops in a dangerous place, and established himself as king, named "Dong Miao". millennium.

However, Dongmiao is weak, and has always been at a disadvantage in the thousands of years of wrestling with Ximiao. Although it will not perish, if it wants to dominate the demon world, it can be called a dream.Therefore, in order to seek the unification of the demon world, Dong Miao had to seek help from the outside world and cooperate with the demon clan.Jingri Guming went to Jiyue Jiangchao in person, and made an agreement with his master Yinglong, agreeing that Dongmiao would help him invade the human world and Lin tribe, expanding the territory of Jiyue Jiangchao; Help Dong Miao attack Xi Miao and dominate the demon world.

But no matter what, whether it is Jingri Guming or Dongmiao Sergeant, they are all members of the monster clan who are connected by his blood and origin from the same origin.

——Do you really want to meet swords again?

Cang Yue Guming looked at the direction where the flames of war were raging ahead, his eyes were dark and his heart was restless.

——I'm afraid this time, it won't be good.

■

The war is tense, the situation is stalemate, the battle on the front line is intensified, and the casualties are also increasing.The wounded of the Scale tribe were frequently sent back to the rear station to wait for treatment, and Qiao Tathagata was also very busy, and the hem of the monk's robe, which was neat and clean before, was now covered with dust.But he didn't care about it, and took the initiative to take on the task of assisting treatment, sending clean white cloth and medicine to the doctor for a while, and water and food for the wounded soldiers at a while.

He had a panoramic view of the tragic scene in front of him, with a complex expression of worry and pity mixed between his brows and eyes, his golden eyes were like water, and what flowed out was the compassion of a strong Buddhist sage.

Cang Yue Guming was still by his side, he looked at the sweat on Qiao Rulai's forehead and the worry in his eyes, and sighed in his heart——

After all, he is still the pretty Tathagata, and he also has the heart of a Buddha who sympathizes with the world.

Qiao Tathagata wanted to take care of her, but after all, her strength was limited, she had been busy for half a day, and she didn't even care about eating, so she described herself as tired, and couldn't hide the tiredness on her face.He worked so hard, the garrison sergeant also saw it, the military doctor was afraid that the distinguished guest invited by the prince would collapse, so he hurriedly persuaded him to take a nap, don't let his body collapse.Qiao Rulai originally wanted to decline this kindness, but the moment he opened his mouth, he felt dizzy, as if he was really exhausted and weak, and could no longer support, so he no longer refused, and returned to his own place with Cang Yue Guming's company. In his tent, he held a bowl of hot porridge that had just been delivered, and ate slowly, his eyes half-closed, as if he was worried.

After eating warm food, her strength seems to have recovered a lot. Qiao Tathagata sat on the stool, and those tragic scenes covered in blood and life hanging by a thread seemed to float before her eyes.He had only read about that hell-like scene in books, but seeing it with his own eyes this time, his heart ached even more. He only felt endless killing karma, endless sins, and the Buddha had not yet died. Where is the ultimate bliss?

He was in a daze, and his expression was solemn.Seeing this, Cang Yue Guming took a white handkerchief from the side and put it in his hand, gently rubbed the back of Qiao Rulai's cold hand with a wolf kiss, moaned in his throat, and sat quietly at his feet, with the tip of his tail resting on his shoulders. On the hem of the dusty monk robe.

Knowing that it was her appearance that made the other party worry, Qiao Tathagata exhaled and stretched out her hand to caress the top of Cang Yue Guming's head as usual. To the point of burning people.He hurriedly took out the bodhi seed from his bodhi, only to see that the bodhi's light flickered for a few times and then gradually became dazzling, especially the two rays of light inside, and the brilliance was frequent, as if he had sensed and guided him.

This vision, this situation, how familiar?Qiao Tathagata put the bodhi seed in her palm, lowered her head to look at the sky, stared at the lonely eyes, nodded slightly, one person and one wolf stood up at the same time, followed the guidance of the bodhi seed, and went out of the camp and went to the front line.

There are bones buried in the sand on the road, and the rivers and seas are full of blood.Qiao Tathagata shuttles back and forth in the mess according to the ray of light. The dead from the three tribes of demons, demons, and scales are mixed. The land is dyed in a dark color. Every step on the shoes will bring out a thick smell of blood and rust. The tragic and irreversible war.

Qiao Rulai couldn't help worrying about Beimingshang and Feiyuan.At this time, Bodhi's heat didn't decrease but increased, and it burned his palm, which also disturbed his heart. He only felt that something bad was about to happen, such a scene of purgatory, and it was irreversible.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help quickening his pace.

But when they arrived, it was too late.

■

Master Yinglong is insidious and cunning, he is good at using spells and can manipulate corpses.All dead people, regardless of whether they are enemies or friends, can be manipulated by spells to become "corpse soldiers". They only act under the orders of the dragon master, and they are not afraid of swords and swords. It is very terrifying.In this battle, both sides suffered heavy casualties, and the battlefield was littered with corpses, but it gave Master Yinglong the greatest room to play. As the battle progressed, the strength of the allied army of demons and demons grew stronger, while the available soldiers of the Scale Clan became more and more powerful. The less they are, the more they will gradually fall into a dangerous situation of being weak.

Although Bei Mingshang and Fei Yuan were highly skilled in martial arts, they lost a lot of physical strength in the long-term battles, and many of the scale soldiers who died in the previous battle were also controlled by Master Ying Long and turned to attack with the coalition forces Bei Mingshang and others.Although Bei Mingshang and the two knew that the Lin people who met with their swordsmen in front of them were unconscious "corpse soldiers", they still couldn't bear it in their hearts. After keeping their hands for a few times, they had many wounds on their bodies, blood left behind, and they were wet. The costume armor also accelerated the loss of strength.

I can't tell the difference between the enemy and the enemy. The comrades who fought side by side with me one moment may turn into the Shura ghosts who took their lives in the next moment. The soldiers of the Scale Clan are in danger, and they are panicked. They don't know which side of the battlefield the same clan in front of them belongs to. , the fight became more restrained.The battle situation is getting worse and worse, the Scale Clan's army has dropped sharply, and they are gradually losing to the coalition forces, retreating steadily.

Master Ying Long looked at the moment when the morale of the Lin tribe was waning, flew into the game, gathered the power of Yinglong, looked at the empty door behind Fei Yuan exposed, and shot it with all his strength, which was about to take the life of the troublemaker, and seized it. This man who holds the magic weapons of the Dao domain adds a powerful forward warrior to the expansion of the Jiyue Jiang Dynasty!

Fei Yuan felt the murderous aura coming from her back, and she wanted to avoid it, but her physical strength was almost exhausted after repeated battles, her feet seemed to be filled with molten iron, and she stood tremblingly on the spot, unable to move even half an inch.The girl could only watch helplessly as the skinny iron palm that had gathered [-]% of the power of the dragon came towards her, complex emotions suddenly arose in her heart, and the pictures flashed before her eyes one by one, and the last one in the top frame was Bei Ming. When Shang smiled at her, the corners of his eyes shone with radiant kun scales.

The brilliance that flowed through his memory suddenly seemed to become a reality, Fei Yuan felt a blue and white intertwined figure passing by in front of him, before he could react, he heard a helpless sigh, accompanied by the sound of opera beads and broken bells, he sent her away Hugging her in her arms, the scent of that person's only scent came over her face, a smell she couldn't be more familiar with.At the moment of astonishment, she smelled the bloody smell that suddenly became thicker in the fragrance, her hands subconsciously hugged the person who was protecting her, her dry, blood-stained lips murmured a few times, and the intermittent words were full of unbelievable suddenness with panic.

Bei Mingshang could vaguely hear it in the pain of internal organs, and the girl's voice murmured "Azan" that only she could call.

Those who are afraid of losing, those who are at a loss, those who are connected with each other, and those who repeat word by word are all "a cup".

He still wanted to respond to her, smiled at her, and told her that he was fine, but what came out of his mouth was bright red blood, in large swaths, like a coquettish and fatal flower of the underworld, blooming at the corners of his mouth and lips , Blocking what the Prince Haijing wanted to say.

.—It made her worry...

Bei Mingshang only felt a pain in his heart, his eyes darkened, and he passed out.

■

When Qiao Rulai and Cang Yue Guming arrived, what they saw was Bei Mingshang using his body as a shield to resist Ying Longshi's palm, and then holding Fei Yuan, vomiting blood and fainting.

Cang Yue Guming stepped forward, and took the lead in releasing powerful monster energy to calm down the allied soldiers who were about to move.Its four claws are lowered, its ears and tails are raised, its white fangs are exposed, and its throat keeps roaring, showing the ferocity of a wolf beast.Those eyes with a faint blue cold light swept across the coalition soldiers one by one, and then stopped at a certain point, the killing intent swelled, bringing out the momentum and majesty of looking down on the world, forcing Master Ying Long and others to not even take a step forward .

Qiao Tathagata took advantage of this opportunity to run to Fei Yuan's side, held Fei Yuan's trembling hand with one hand, and helped to lift Bei Mingshang who was still breathing with the other. With the help of the remaining Lin clan guards around, he successfully helped Fei Yuan Yuan and Bei Mingshang left the frontline battlefield.

Before leaving, he turned his head and saw Cang Yue Guming who was facing the coalition forces alone.Qiao Tathagata was worried, but Bei Mingshang, who was so angry beside him, was also worrying. After a few considerations, she finally made up her mind, and after a bit of gritted teeth, she took the two of them to the back, thinking only of handing over everyone After giving reinforcements, they turned back.

He couldn't leave Cang Yue Guming to face such a dangerous situation alone.

He must come back for him.

Fortunately, the Scale Clan reinforcements arrived in time, accompanied by military doctors, Qiao Tathagata entrusted Bei Mingshang and others to the Scale Clan soldiers, and then returned to find Cang Yue Guming.He was resolute, contrary to his usual gentle and kind words, he rejected Fei Yuan and the soldiers' retention with a few words, clenched the Buddhist beads on his wrist, got up and turned back along the way he came.

Bodhi in her bosom was still feverish, but Qiao Tathagata had no time to take care of it.He was so anxious that all he could think of was Cang Yue Gu Ming who was alone and dead. He was afraid that what he would see when he went back this time was his dying figure. He had seen too much blood and suffering today, and he didn't want to see any more Drenched with blood, I don't want to hear the wailing of more hurt people.

The monk's shoes were piled up frequently, the scorched earth was scattered, and Qiao Tathagata ran across the messy battlefield, the anxiety and worry in her heart could not be concealed no matter what.The Sanskrit sound lingers in the mouth, and the congratulatory words are scattered, every word and sentence is for the same...

- gray wolf.

Not long after, the towering withered tree that was scorched black on the edge of the battlefield in my memory was in front of me. Qiao Rulai recognized that this was the place where they had just parted, and felt relieved, and her steps became more anxious.There are many figures in front of him, but it doesn't look like the number of soldiers pressing down on the area just now. Although he was puzzled, he didn't take it to heart. He just wanted to quickly go around a rock in front of him, so that he could see that his thoughts were safe and sound. .

But when he just ran to the boulder, he heard a sentence from behind the stone——

"Little Canglang, I never imagined that you were by the side of a human being during the years you were not in Xi Miao."

Qiao Rulai stopped in her tracks and opened her eyes slightly. The "little wolf" was called very intimately, but the voice of the speaker was never heard before.Could it be that there is an old friend of Canglang among the coalition forces?

While wondering, the familiar voice sounded again.Qiao Tathagata held her breath and listened quietly.

"Uncle Zu Wang, I never thought you would join hands with the demons."

"If you don't cooperate with Jiyue Jiangchao, how can Xiao Wang achieve his long-cherished wish of unifying the demon world?" The man seemed to have thought of something, and laughed a few times, his voice was melodious, with hints of sarcasm, "Are you right? , Little Blue Wolf? No, I should call you—”

"King Xi Miao, Cang Yue is lonely."

—— King Xi Miao... Cang Yue Guming... Cang Lang...?

The man's laughing words fell into Qiao Tathagata's ears, but it sounded like a bell ringing in his head, and the sound lingered, as if a layer of secret shell had been knocked open, fine lines shattered, and cracks appeared It is a thought that he least wants to think about in this life, and he once felt that it is the most impossible idea.Qiao Tathagata was emotionally agitated, she made a wrong step, and the dry branch under her foot broke abruptly, making a crisp and soft sound, which interrupted the conversation between Shi Hou and the two, and also exposed the fact that she was hiding here.

Cang Yue Guming turned his head slowly, his eyes reflected the image of Qiao Rulai's clothes as clear as snow, and his heart was filled with great surprise and helplessness.Maybe it was because he was too guarded against the person in front of him, or maybe the messy blood and smell on the battlefield disturbed his perception. He never noticed that Qiao Tathagata was nearby, and even vaguely smelled the faint sandalwood when the sound came out. Woody fragrance.

Panic surged in his heart like a tidal wave, the truth and secrets that had been concealed for years were suddenly exposed at the most inappropriate moment, Cang Yue Guming only felt flustered, he looked at Qiao Rulai's eyes that were as bright as the warm sun, and for a moment he didn't know How to justify, do not know how to explain.

—How much has he heard?Does he know all about it?

The Lord of Xi Miao was worried, and he felt uneasy standing up and down.

"Oh? This..." The young man in a brown-gold fur cloak had his mouth slightly curled up, looking up and down Qiao Tathagata. His expression was arrogant, his behavior was dignified, and his gestures and gestures were full of royal aura that could not be ignored.He seemed very satisfied with the appearance of Qiao Tathagata, nodded his chin like an oval egg twice, and continued: "It's the first time we meet, Xiao Wang Jingri Guming, it's this..."

He deliberately paused, pointed at Cang Yue Guming, who was standing in front of him, and continued lazily: "Cangyue Guming...'s patriarch uncle. Naturally, you can also respectfully call Xiao Wang" Dongmiao King'."

After Jingri Guming finished speaking, he fell silent, and looked at the man and wolf in front of him with a somewhat optimistic expression, with a relaxed and comfortable expression, as if he was not the one who provoked all this.

"Cang Yue...Gu Ming?" Qiao Rulai murmured this strange title, looking at the wolf beast with dejected eyes in front of her, feeling extremely strange.His mind was in chaos, his thoughts were jumbled like a mess, and he couldn't figure out a clear idea.Those moments of getting along with the wolf monster in front of him are vivid and clear, but at this moment, they seem to be covered with a layer of shadowy fog, blurred and hazy, both real and illusion.The intermingling of truth and lies confuses him, and the interweaving of truth and illusion makes him confused. He suddenly realizes that he doesn't understand the gray wolf in his memory at all, and suddenly feels that he can't see through anything, including the other party's sincerity.

Canglang, King Ximiao, Cangyue Guming, which one is him, or are they all him?What else does he not know?How much did he hide from him...?

Why did he lie to himself?

Why didn't he tell himself anything?

he……

"Canglang..." Qiao Rulai took a step forward, pressed her palm on the bodhi place on her chest, and asked softly, "Is what he said true?"

He moved a little closer to Cang Yue Gu Ming, and the heat in his palms remained undiminished.Bodhi is still feverish, and the warmth of the spring sun is ironed on the hands and imprinted on the heart through the layers of clothes, but it cannot relieve the stiffness and coldness of the limbs.Qiao Rulai looked at Cang Yue Guming, and hoped that the other party would lightly tell Jingri Guming that what he said was false, that he was just a wolf in the demon world, not the king of Ximiao Cangyue Guming, he was just by his side Want to guard him, there is no other thoughts.But the more he thought about it, the more he knew that it was all fake. All these fluke thoughts came from his complete trust in the other party, believing that he would not lie to him, and believing that he treated him sincerely.But this trust has been dispersed into mist just now, and the shadows are full of blurs. He is already confused, unable to see the truth and the false, and the reality. Let him convince himself--he's true to me, he's not lying to me.

"Canglang, Qiao Tathagata wants to hear you tell me personally. Is what he said true or false?"

Qiao Tathagata tightly clenched the crystal bead in her hand, her palm was so painful.

Cang Yue Guming didn't say a word, didn't speak, and didn't even have the courage to meet Shangqiao Tathagata's gaze.A kind of emotion that can be called "timidity" emerged in his heart, which made him unable to face the situation at the moment.He is sluggish in words, not good at expressing, and the situation is even more indescribable, so he turned his eyes away in this gesture of avoiding, staring at Jingri Guming who had been resting in front of him, and once again threw himself into full-body vigilance .

Little did he know that his actions made Qiao Rulai's heart feel like falling into a cold cave at this moment.

"Ha." Jingri Guming smiled suddenly, and his long and narrow eyes showed a look of surprise, "Hey, what's the matter? Didn't the little wolf tell you?"

He looked innocent, as if he didn't know anything about it.But the pursed mouth was slightly closed, and the corners of the raised lips showed some irony.Jingri Guming looked at God Yue Guming's eyes, completely unafraid of the fierce murderous aura exuded by the wolf king in front of him, and said with a smile: "He is the majestic king of Ximiao in the demon world. Not to mention that Miao governed in an orderly manner, he also implemented benevolent government, which is quite popular. He is known as the most benevolent king once in 5000 years. During the civil turmoil in the demon world, he disappeared for ten years and had no news. He even returned to the demon world quietly. After returning, he hid in the rebel army to accumulate strength, and gave Xiao Wang a fatal blow when Xiao Wang was most slack, so Xiao Wang had to be reduced to flee, lingering in the corner of the border between demons and demons."

"This is really a good method, good strength, what do you think... is it?" He moved forward as he spoke, his eyes were bent upwards, his expression was leisurely, and Qiao Rulai's gradually pale complexion was reflected in those eyes like amber honey pills. , the joy and satisfaction inside cannot be concealed no matter what.Jingri Guming walked like this, the monster aura overflowing from his body became more and more thick with the footsteps, Amber's eyes were dyed with a faint blue light, the pupils were elongated, the satin black hair floated without wind, and the faint scent of medicine engulfed her With thick blood, she rushed straight towards Qiao Tathagata, seeming to be oppressed by a huge force, Qiao Tathagata took half a step back under the pressure, her breathing was slightly stagnant, and her consciousness was sluggish.

It was the powerful demonic aura originating from King Dongmiao. It was heavy and dignified, and it seemed to carry grievances and preparations for more than a thousand years.Qiao Tathagata was originally a human being, so it is common sense that she couldn't stand the oppression of this kind of evil spirit, so she should immediately lose consciousness and pass out.But what Jingri Guming didn't expect was that Qiao Rulai was only sinking at the moment, kneeling on one knee, her eyes were slightly sunken, as if she was trying to support herself, and she seemed to be fighting against the aura of the royal family with her own strength.This surprised King Dongmiao, but he didn't show it on his face.

Jingri Guming stopped in front of Cang Yue Guming, looking at the half-kneeling Qiao Tathagata with some inquisitive eyes, his eyes turned slightly, and suddenly he figured out something.He smiled as if he had discovered something new and interesting, but the words he said next were not as warm and gentle as the expression on his face, every word seemed to contain swords and blood, his lips and tongue moved secretly, hurting people invisible between--

"Haven't you ever suspected that he dared to walk alone in the world, did he only rely on his clumsy cover-up? All monsters have a monster, and there are tens of thousands of capable people in the world. How can no one recognize the person beside you?" Is a wolf a demon?"

"Of all the monsters in the demon world, only the big monster can freely restrain the monster energy. The little wolf can absorb the monster energy to almost nothing. This level of cultivation is not comparable to that of ordinary monster clans."

"What? Do you really think that such a capable little wolf is just a humble little demon in the demon world?"

"You are...so naive."

Jingri Guming's figure flashed suddenly, and the person passed Cang Yue Guming lightly, and came to Qiao Tathagata.Qiao Tathagata only felt that her consciousness was suddenly suppressed by gravity, and the scene in front of her eyes became hazy and blurred, almost fading away.He seemed to see a white porcelain hand reaching out to him, with the smell of medicine and blood, as if it came from hell, every inch was dangerous.He knew in his heart that he should dodge, but the gradually increasing demonic aura made him unable to move half a bit, and he could only watch the hand gradually approaching to within walking distance.The whispers in the ears were soft, like the magic sound lingering in the ears, lingering, one after another deeply chiseled into the bottom of my heart:

"He is the majestic master of the demon world - King Xi Miao."

"How could he be just a well-intentioned wolf demon who stayed by your side for more than twenty years just to accompany you?"

The hand stopped when it was about to touch Qiao Rulai.Qiao Tathagata slowly turned her head, and she seemed to see a person guarding her in front of her in the dim eyesight. He was tall and towering like a mountain, which made him feel familiar but strange, close but alienated.

He saw the man tightly grasping Jingri Guming's hand stretched out to him, his profile was hazy and indistinguishable.The black purple robe that the man was wearing was gorgeous and complicated, and the wide-sleeved cloak was brought up and flew up and down while the demonic aura was shaking.Qiao Rulai felt the pressure on her body suddenly become heavy, and her consciousness became more and more drowsy, as if it was about to dissipate, but in this haze, he saw the eyes of the person in front of him were bright, as deep as a secluded pool, and as colorful as the vast sea, which was incomparable. familiar.

The man's eyes were like knives, staring straight at Jingri Guming's face that seemed to be smiling but not smiling at the moment, his thin lips were slightly parted, and his voice was deep and mellow, falling into the ears of Qiao Tathagata, the familiarity made him feel sad:

"Uncle Zuwang...Jingri Guming, you have stepped on the bottom line of Guwang—"

After a word, the pressure increased sharply.The majestic demon energy of the two kings of the demon world fought against each other in the air, causing waves of aftermath that could not dissipate for a long time.Qiao Rulai was suffocated by the sudden fierce confrontation, kneeling on the ground, her shoulders wet with sweat, panting heavily, but she couldn't get a little relief in her chest.He seemed to have reached the limit, the foreground was completely black, his body was weak, his limbs were weak, and when the next wave of monster energy collided, he completely lost his strength and fell to the ground.

Before she fainted completely, Qiao Rulai seemed to see a pair of extremely familiar blue eyes.He subconsciously stretched out his hand, wanting to touch the pair of eyes that implied guilt and concern, but before his consciousness dissipated, all he could grasp was an empty and boundless nothingness.

■

When Qiao Rulai woke up, it was already five days later.

During these five days, the situation of the battle changed suddenly.Qianxue Guming, the auxiliary prince of Ximiao in the demon world, and Xi Jingwuque, the general of the dark alliance in the demon world, arrived with an army and entered the battle circle under the name of "removing the rebellion in the demon world", helping the Lin clan army to fight against the coalition forces.Although the coalition forces of the demon and demon realms had an absolute advantage in the battle against the Scale Clan, they still lost to the coalition forces of Ximiao and the Dark Alliance, suffered heavy losses, and all of them fled.Ying Longshi was seriously injured in the battle with Xi Jing Wu Que, and led the fierce Yue Jiang Dynasty tribe back to the Demon Realm; East Miao King Jingri Guming lost his whereabouts in the scuffle, and the remnants of the Dong Miao tribe he led were scattered in all directions, all of them were Xi Jing. The captives of the Miao people, the "East Miao" country, survived in name only.

Everyone in the Lin Clan was grateful to Qianxue Guming and Xi Jing Wuque, and they all said that it was because the two arrived in time with their troops, and they were the first to severely injure the generals of the coalition army, which saved the battle from the doomed situation, so that the world and the Lin Clan were able to escape. robbery.

However, Qiao Tathagata knew that what everyone in the Lin Clan said was not true, and he didn't know who the person who severely injured Ying Longshi was, but it wasn't Prince Ximiao who forced Dongmiao King Jingri to retreat, but... …

King Xi Miao, Cang Yue is lonely.

Just as he was thinking, he heard the rustling sound of the tent curtain being raised.Qiaoru turned her head back and forth, and the first thing she met was a pair of familiar eyes. He watched Cang Yue Guming walk in front of him, hesitated for a moment, but finally did not move closer to him as intimately as usual.Cang Yue Guming sat down a foot away from the bed, with his tail hanging aside, his ears drooping slightly, his eyes half wrong, and he remained silent.

Qiao Rulai sat on the edge of the bed, twirling the string of white crystal rosary beads in her palms with both hands, looking at Cang Yue Guming's misplaced eyes with some searching eyes, and did not speak for a long time.He wanted to read something from those eyes, even if it was just a few words, but he didn't read anything in those two dark blue eyes, not even the slightest mood swings that could make him feel relieved. Still water.

Is his state of affairs the result of a lie being broken?Or is it the unusual calmness after all the cards are revealed?Qiao Tathagata doesn't know, and doesn't want to know.Cang Yue Guming's calmness and speechlessness made him anxious, and he was disappointed if he didn't make any excuses.Qiao Rulai only felt that the past companionship was an absurd joke, and she treated him sincerely as a close relative, but what she got in return was the deceit and lies of the past twenty years.

Why did he hide his identity?Why didn't he tell the truth?Qiao Rulai's heart was twisted like a knife, too many ambiguities and ambiguities were entangled in one place, making him feel as if he had chewed Coptis chinensis in his mouth, both mouth and heart were bitter and unspeakable.

The crystal beads in the palm are hard and hard, and the bodhi in the arms is hot and ironing, but the beautiful Tathagata is unable to take care of it.In the torment of body and mind, he made a decision, clasped his fingers tightly, raised his eyes slightly, and said, "Why does King Ximiao condescend to maintain the animal form? It's better to restore the human body, so that you can be at ease."

The voice that was originally clear and smooth was now dry, smooth and without a trace of emotion.Qiao Tathagata loosened her hands and folded them on her lap. The spar beads were wrapped around her hands, and the movement of clenching forcefully made the rosary sink deep into the flesh, causing pain in the palms.But he didn't care about it, and he clenched his hands even tighter as if he didn't feel the pain, but his eyes suddenly dropped, staring at the crystal clear Buddha beads in his palms, and after a while, he continued: "Qiao Tathagata didn't know the west before." King Miao's status, behaviors that exceed the rules, and many of them are arrogant, please forgive me. Qiao Tathagata will definitely pay attention to his status in the future, and will not go beyond the rules again."

He spoke humbly, saying "Ximiao King" and "Qiao Tathagata" in one mouthful, pretending to be humble and humble in every sentence, as if humbled into the dust.Even though he said this, his brows and eyes were still calm and unwavering, a pair of crimson eyelashes trembled and drooped slightly, covering the sight of Cang Yue Guming, and also covering those eyes that were dimming in brilliance.He seems to use humble and alienated words to build an insurmountable high wall, completely separating the human race from the monster race, the common people from the king, Qiao Tathagata from Cang Yue Gu Ming, and from then on, there will be no more connections.

After Qiao Rulai finished this long speech, not only did the stagnant breath in her chest not dissipate, but it made her heart more and more difficult to bear.He only felt that his eye sockets were dry and painful, and the eye sockets were full of soreness, but nothing could flow out, and his hands were clenched tightly, his fingertips trembled slightly, and his joints were turning white.He knew why he hurt people, and he knew how embarrassing and embarrassing the description was at the moment. He also knew that words that hurt people were like double-edged swords, and hurt himself while hurting the person in front of him, but... ...he couldn't stop.

He lied to him for more than 20 years without a word of explanation for it.

He gave him a chance, he asked him whether it was true or not, and he wanted to hear his own words.However, the other party gave his own response, which was full of sad and sad silence.

What does that silent silence represent?Are you acknowledging what Jingri Guming said?Do you not want to explain to him?Or do you think even an excuse is superfluous?

Cang Yue Guming didn't say anything, but he also said everything.

The person who was once the closest is now the most inaccessible existence.

He is not a wolf, or he is a wolf, but he is even more lonely.

Cang Yue Guming is the Canglang, the King of Xi Miao, and the master of the demon world who will exist between heaven and earth forever.He has his family, country, and the world, and he has thousands of people, but among the thousands of people, there is no Tathagata alone.

Sadness and resentment are intertwined, helplessness and sorrow are mixed.Qiao Tathagata only felt that the thoughts in her head seemed to have entered into an irreversible dead corner, unable to retreat, unable to enter, unable to retreat from the almost overwhelming dark emotions.

He closed his eyes, and the past years of companionship was vivid in his mind, and the memory of cuddling each other was extremely clear at this moment, but it seemed extremely ironic.Qiao Tathagata tapped her lips with her teeth, and the pain was as sharp as a knife blade, instantly cutting away half of the astringency and weakness in her heart.He immediately opened his eyes, and looked at Cang Yue Guming with an almost empty look. The words were soft, but like a knife, which made both the speaker and the listener feel heartbroken: "Qiao Tathagata is a mortal, it is really not good. It is worthy of King Xi Miao's surrender to accompany him. Qiao Tathagata will not think about the purpose of King Xi Miao's white dragon fish suit, but Qiao Tathagata cannot continue to enjoy this kind of honor."

Qiao Rulai exhaled, then raised her head, her eyes were fixed on the patterns on the top of the tent, her voice became softer, as thin as a mosquito gnat.But although his soft words were empty, it was hard to hide the powerlessness and sorrow in his words:

"Compensation between grievances and resentments, Qiao Tathagata does not ask for his wish, but only wishes that the mountains and rivers will grow forever from now on. King Ximiao returns to the demon world to stabilize his territory, and Qiao Tathagata travels around to practice karma. We... let's just break up..."

He raised his head, he could hear the rustling of the cloth, and he could hear the staggering footsteps.He felt the warmth brought by the wrapped hands, and also felt the thin calluses and unhealed scars on the palm of the man.Qiao Rulai lowered his head, and met a pair of familiar blue eyes. He saw the young man's lips trembling slightly, and the corners of his brows and eyes overflowing. He couldn't hide his shock and despair:

"Qiao Tathagata, what did you... say...?"
