Chapter 1: The Return
On the mountain behind Jixuanzong, the autumn wind swept up the dead leaves and made a "rustling" sound.
Honglian's back was against a tree, her hands tightly clutched the long sword inserted into her chest, blood came out, her eyes became more and more blurred, her lips opened slightly, and she asked intermittently, "For...... Why ......"
The sword-wielder looked at the red lotus condescendingly, and his eyes were cold.
There was not the slightest emotion in his tone. "I thought you were smart enough, but I didn't expect to be so stupid, hehe, it's just a game, and the end of the game is, I won, and you, lose. ”
Honglian stared at him tightly, trembling but unable to say a word. She didn't want to believe everything in front of her, it was too cruel.
Obviously, it was still that handsome face without the slightest worldly dirt, but that expression made Honglian feel cold for a while.
Maybe she should have expected that one day she would be treated like this by him. How familiar that look was to her, wasn't that the truest heart of his White Book City? Wasn't that her nightmare for many years?
Red Lotus has seen it with his own eyes, he kills people without blinking, he vows not to give up in order to achieve his goal, he is cruel and merciless...... It's just that the object was not her.
A tear slowly slid down Red Lotus's cheek, but in Bai Shucheng's eyes, it disgusted him.
"Poof......
A mouthful of blood spurted out of the red lotus's mouth, and Bai Shucheng showed no mercy, drew his long sword and turned to leave, he didn't even look back to take a second look.
"White Book City ......"
The body slowly slid down, and Honglian could no longer make a sound after only saying these three words in her mouth.
She was unwilling, how could she be willing to die like this, she had loved him for so many years and had been with him for so many years.
Obviously, when she let herself get close to the sect master's daughter Xiyan in the White Book City, she should have found out. Such a woman with a pure yin physique, how could he let Bai Shucheng let go, he was just using himself, but she was still stupid to think that the other party cared about her, trusted her, and loved her......
When Red Lotus was 10 years old, she met White Book City for the first time.
At that time, he was graceful, wearing a white robe, and his smile was like a white lotus blooming in summer, so gentle, so bright and dazzling......
At that time, Honglian thought that their acquaintance was the luckiest thing in the world. Even if she has no parents, even if she is an outcast, even if she has bad qualifications and mediocre appearance, as long as Bai Shucheng is gentle with her, she will be satisfied.
However, now that I recall it, Bai Shucheng was not only to her at that time, he was gentle and amiable to everyone.
He was just a play to gain the trust of the sect master, and he had been planning for many years. In the past, Honglian had only heard people say that the immortal cultivation world was dangerous everywhere and people's hearts were unpredictable, but now she deeply realized it.
There was some pain, it was unbearable, and when Red Lotus saw with his own eyes that Bai Shucheng used Xiyan as a furnace and absorbed Yin Qi to improve his cultivation, how terrifying his greedy and hideous face was. Xiyan's body instantly dried up, her skin aged and yellowed, and finally died...... Xiyan's desperate and unwilling appearance at the end, the red lotus is deeply engraved in his heart and cannot be erased. At that time, Honglian was so frightened that she covered her mouth tightly and didn't dare to make any sound, she even forgot to breathe, forgetting that she was also a participant in this conspiracy. However, she was still discovered, or perhaps, Bai Shucheng deliberately wanted her to see all this, even if she couldn't say it, he would still kill her.
The autumn wind blew, and the dead leaves covered the body of the red lotus, and she slowly closed her eyes. It turns out that love, she has never had, all this, but because she has no strength, she is too weak, so she will be played and discarded at will, it is she who is too naïve to be used.
Honglian swore with her last will that if she was reincarnated as a human in the next life, she would never cowardly rely on others again, and she would have to pay the price for him in Baishucheng, and if she didn't achieve it in one life, she would be reincarnated again and again, and she would live and die until he died!
......
When Honglian woke up, she had a headache at first, and then she found herself lying on a soft bed, and there was a woman sitting next to her, and when she woke up, her tear-stained eyes suddenly lit up, and she shouted excitedly:
"Lian'er, Lian'er...... You're awake, Lian'er is awake, doctor, doctor, doctor......"
After a while, a middle-aged man hurriedly walked in with a white-haired old man.
The red lotus lay on the bed in a daze like a wooden chicken, the old man looked at the red lotus's eyes, his eyebrows furrowed slightly, stretched out his hand and shook it in front of her eyes, and asked:
"Do you know what your name is?"
Honglian looked at the old man straightly, a little inexplicable, but finally spoke:
"I ...... My name is Red Lotus, and I'm not dead, did you save me?"
The old man looked relieved, and did not answer her question, but turned to the two who were standing anxiously on the side and smiled:
"Hehe, don't worry, your daughter is fine, she can still answer her name, and she remembers the fact that she almost lost her life when she drowned, which means that she has recovered her sanity, and she will be healed after a few days of rest. ”
The two people standing on the side breathed a sigh of relief at the same time, and hurriedly thanked the old man, and talked a few more words, and the man sent the old man away, and the woman sat beside the red lotus, stroked her head gently with her hand, and said softly:
"Lian'er, do you know how worried your mother is after you drowned this time, don't be naughty next time, don't scare your mother again......"
Honglian is still dumbfounded, her head is buzzing now, she doesn't understand why she has an extra mother, it seems that she has a father. The loving woman in front of her clearly called herself "Lian'er", but why didn't she recognize her at all, wasn't she dead?
Honglian lowered her head, and she suddenly looked at her hand in disbelief. That little hand obviously belongs to a child, so immature and soft.
Don't...... She was born again?
No, now that her body has grown up, how can she be reincarnated if she is not a baby? Besides, her memory is still so clear. Could it be...... Snatching?
The only thing that can explain the current situation is this possibility, and that is that when her soul is wandering, she unconsciously takes away the little girl's body. In the next second, when the girl's memories suddenly flooded into Red Lotus's mind, she was even more convinced of this.
The red lotus, who wanted to understand everything, gradually calmed down, and the immortal cultivators didn't care too much about this kind of thing, and it could also be said that in the immortal cultivation world, this kind of thing was normal.
After a while, the woman departed in a gloomy mood after a few words of advice.
Red Lotus learned from the memories of the original owner of this body that this girl had the same name and surname as herself, and that the one just now was her mother.
The cycle of cause and effect may have been predestined in the dark.
