Chapter 41 On the Ten Thousand Gully Mountains, the dead wood is spring
In a mountain in the south of the Demon Realm. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
The black-robed old man who sent Yan Qingyu and Chu Feng to Ruitu City was sitting at a stone table, holding a cup of tea in his hand, tasting it slowly, looking very peaceful.
An old man in gray turned his back to the black-robed old man, looking at a piece of dead wood in front of him that had already been petrified for an unknown number of years, but he was twisting the tender green branches like jade that grew from the broken surface of the dead wood.
The green branches were very green, like jasper, reflecting a faint luster in the sunlight, especially the wisps of misty air falling from the leaves, which made the new shoots on the dead wood seem very mysterious.
"Speaking of which, the seal on Yixin Changshu has failed after all. The gray-clothed old man couldn't help but sigh, full of emotion, "But there is no need to continue to care about him, sooner or later we will be able to use his power - after all, there are still Demon Lords and even Heavenly Emperors to deal with." β
"But being able to find that power is a blessing in disguise. The black-robed old man said.
"That's not necessarily true. The old man in gray smiled and said, "After so many years, this is the first time we have found a suspected body at such an early time-this...... It's so abrupt. β
But it's not necessarily fake. The black-robed old man smiled, "Let's observe him first, I have already instructed the enforcers of the Endless Sea to give him some protection when necessary." β
"Let him go on his own. The old man in gray frowned slightly, "If he is real...... Naturally, it will not be so easy to die at this time. β
"He's still too weak, and it's not a bad thing to give him some protection, and he can use it to confuse others if necessary. The black-robed old man nodded.
"Has the Blue Emperor of the First Restart also appeared?" the old man in gray frowned, and said with a smile, "Since the disappearance of the Eastern Prince, the Green Emperor has not appeared for too long, and I thought he was dead. β
"The Blue Emperor has retrieved the Seven Levels, and the Seven Levels have finally ended such a long period of wandering and returned to her hands.
The black-robed old man emphasized, "If you need to, maybe you can wake up the Blue Emperor now." β
"No need. The gray-clothed old man shook his head, "A Qingdi who has not yet awakened can attract more attention and help us draw more space." β
"Maybe the Green Emperor will die. The black-robed old man was silent for a moment before he said very seriously, "Many people hope that the Qing Emperor will dieβonce she awakens, she will be extremely terrifying. β
"Then die. The gray-clothed old man finally stood up straight, turned half-sideways, looked at the black-robed old man, and a faint smile appeared on his face, "We have a layout, everyone can die, you can die, I can die, every mortal is dying, of course the Qingdi can also die-as long as a person's death is valuable, what reason is there not to die?"
"......" The black-robed old man stared at him for a long time before he slowly opened his eyes, looked at the teacup in his hand, and sighed and said, "After so many years, I don't know what we do...... It's right or wrong. β
"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter if it's right or wrong. The old man in gray replied slowly, "In these almost endless years, we have failed again and again, and many of our companions have fallen on this road, and more companions have abandoned this path and turned against us, for the sake of those who have died, for those of us who are still persevering, right and wrong are no longer important, what we need is ...... There is only victory. β
The black-robed old man didn't answer, and the gray-robed old man also stared slightly, until a sudden wind blew his long gray hair, and he continued: "Only victory can prove that those sacrifices are not meaningless. β
The black-robed old man sighed softly, a little noncommittal.
"Now that the Blue Emperor has appeared, I might as well start another game. The old man in gray turned around completely and looked directly at the old man in black robe, "In this game, I will be the bait, I think many people will bite it desperately - there are too many people who want me to die." β
"Gou Chen......" The old man in black robe was slightly stunned, raised his head, looked at the old man in gray, but did not say any more.
"I've been waiting for it in the mountains for so many years, and I've been watering it with my heart's work, but nothing has changed from it - just like when we found it years ago, it can only project a few wisps of its original breath. The old man in gray turned around again, looked at the new sprouts on the dead tree, and spoke extremely slowly, and his tone couldn't help but bring a little sadness, "It's really dead, it can't be restored, and our world can't go back." β
The black-robed old man silently put down the teacup in his hand before he said very seriously: "Maybe...... But as long as I'm alive, I won't give up. We have an unshirkable responsibility for what happened back then, and we must ...... it Responsible to the end. β
"It's really martial, but I'm tired. The old man in gray finally opened his eyes, his dark gray eyes full of exhaustion, "I...... Want to die. β
The wind blew abruptly through the forest, making a rustling sound, and between heaven and earth, everything was silent.
"Senior, no matter what the price is, I can ......" Xi Wu gently put down Chu Feng's hand, took a few steps back suddenly, and slowly fell to his knees.
"Get up. The old man looked at Xi Wu and said in a slightly cold voice.
The young people who wanted to help up the dance were also stunned.
Xi Wu looked at the old man, shook his head firmly, and said, "If the seniors don't agree, I will ......."
"If you don't get up, he will definitely be able to save him?" The old man's face was full of displeasure, "I can save it, if you don't kneel, I will naturally save it, if you can't save it, what's the use of you kneeling to me, why don't you know how to pity yourself?"
Xiwu was not moved at all and said: "If the predecessors are not sorry to dance and kneel, there is naturally no difference between kneeling and not kneeling." But how do they know whether their predecessors accept it or not? But when they kneel, no matter how seriously they look at it, it is just the so-called dignity, where is it more important than his life? No matter how much they pity the dance, they dare not regard his life as more important than the so-called dignity!"
The old man was slightly stunned, and then he was speechless, sighed and said, "Get up, I will naturally do my best, and you don't kneel anymore."
Xi Wu was silent for a moment and said, "Senior, what price do you have to pay to save him?"
The old man looked at Xi Wu and was silent for a long time and said, "Are you willing to die for him?"
Xi Wu was stunned for a moment, then looked at Chu Feng's already somewhat distorted face, and was silent for a long time before turning his head and saying, "I can." β
"Senior Liu......" The young man was also slightly stunned and hesitated.
"The Demon Emperor Yuandian is made of life, and if you want to stabilize the Demon Emperor Yuandian, naturally you have to ......" The old man was silent for a moment before continuing, "Nourish it with the essence of life." β
"If you are really willing to do this...... "the old man's gaze fell on Xi Wu, "you will die, no one will be able to save you." β
Xi Wu's body trembled slightly, and she bit her lower lip before nodding and saying, "I do." β
The young man frowned, and his expression was a little strange.
"You think about it, and once you start, and you regret it, it's too late. The old man said in amazement, he never thought that the dance party would agree so simply.
Xi Wu's eyes fell on Chu Feng's face with tenderness, smiled slightly, stretched out his hand to wipe the tears from the corners of his eyes, and said, "I have thought it through, and I ask my predecessors to be fulfilled." β
"Idiot. The old man sighed, looked at Chu Feng and shook his head and said, "This kid is really lucky, if it weren't for the Demon Emperor Yuandian, if it wasn't for him to be a little interested, if it wasn't for you, where would he survive." β
Xi Wu was silent for a moment before saying, "He's not lucky......
"What's that?" asked the old man.
"Good people have good rewards. Xi Wu smiled slightly, and reached out to gently wipe the cold sweat that kept pouring out of Chu Feng's forehead, for fear of making Chu Feng feel a trace of pain again, "Xi Wu has been living in darkness and pain for too long, and it is he who has given him a piece of light and endless tenderness, even if it is only for a few days, Xi Wu is already very satisfied." β
"If he dies, my heart will probably be empty, let's die. Xi Wu's fingers slowly brushed Chu Feng's not very good-looking face, and tears fell on Chu Feng's face, "If my life can be exchanged for his life, I couldn't be happier." β
"Well......" the old man let out a long sigh and said, "if you have anything else to say, just tell him, let's go and prepare." β
The old man and the young man left the room together, leaving only Xi Wu and Chu Feng in the same room.
Xi Wu slowly leaned her head on Chu Feng's chest, feeling the cold feeling.
She knew that Chu Feng's body was extremely fragile at the moment, and she didn't even dare to let the slightest weight weigh on Chu Feng's body.
"Xi Wu thinks that after the turmoil passes, I can return to the world with you, just like an ordinary human couple, live a relaxed life, and forget all the pain. Xiwu whispered to herself, "But God is really cruel, and he doesn't even want to fulfill such a simple dream...... Probably because he cherishes the dance, he can't deserve such happiness. β
"Can I exchange my life for your life...... It's the last thing I can do for you, and it's very satisfying to be able to come in handy with such a life. β
"I thought I could see it, but ...... I still feel so sad, my heart hurts, I don't want to die, I want to be by your side, I want to have children with you, and I grow old with you, see if you still like the old pearl dance......"
Xi Wu leaned down, kissed Chu Feng lightly on his cold lips, and when he sat up again, he clenched Chu Feng's hand, and tears rained down.
"These young people now...... the old man leaned down and tended to play with the flowers and plants in the courtyard, "Crazy men and women, ...... their lives"
"I heard that the seniors seemed to put life and death aside for the sake of Xiaoyuer. The young man said with a slight mockery.
When the old man heard this, he immediately chuckled and said, "Don't mention it, in exchange for three hundred years of imprisonment, I finally waited for her to wake up, only to find that the girl was dead, and what was in her body was just our little fish." β
"Hah, at least...... She's still alive and you can watch her grow. The young man smiled, but there was a slight bitterness in his eyes.
"Do you need to cover your face?" asked the old man, "that girl is no longer alive today, and she is still so cautious. β
"It was found that the law enforcers, who represent justice and maintain order, were involved in such a thing...... That's a big deal. The young man shrugged.
"Well, whatever you want. The old man shook his head.
"Senior, I'm ready. Xi Wu stood at the door, her eyes red and swollen, but she wiped away her tears, with a hint of smile, as if relieved.
"When the boy wakes up, how do you want us to tell him where you are?" the old man asked, turning, very approvingly.
Xi Wu was slightly stunned before saying, "I'll tell him...... When I saw that he was seriously wounded, I forsook him. β
The young man's pupils suddenly constricted, and in an instant, he showed a bit of resentment, as if he remembered something, and even his body couldn't help but tremble.
"Is that really good?" asked the old man.
Xi Wu nodded solemnly and said, "That's fine, even if he will be sad for a while...... But knowing my true colors, he will also die and will not hang on to me for too long. β
"A girl like you would like that kind of boy, it's really a blessing from his three lives. The old man sighed.
"Don't give him such a cruel story. The young man shook his head, "You love him so much, I think he cares about you too, if ...... You hear that he abandoned you, how long will you hate him, how long will you resent him? He's just a teenager, and this story is so cruel that it will make him ...... Despairing. β
The voice of the youth was a little sad, as if telling a true story.
Xiwu was silent.
"I'll tell him the truth. The old man frowned slightly, he knew where the young man's feelings came from, and it was naturally true, "Telling the truth is not such a desperate thing." β
Xi Wu's expression couldn't help but feel a little painful, and the scars on his face that were left by Sha Wanlin also became a little hideous, knowing the truth, he would resent himself, right?
"Young people...... Let's face it, they are not the protagonists of the story, they can always get what they want, and everything will not end in a happy ending. The old man sighed, "Don't worry, I won't let him indulge in pain, young man, he can only move forward after going through pain." β
Xiwu was silent for a long time before nodding and saying, "I understand." β
She had nothing more to ask for, only to hope that he would survive and live well.
"In the beginning, your life will be injected into his body to continue his life, your flesh, bones, meridians, everything, I will also transplant it to him to speed up his recovery, just in case. β
The old man paused before asking, "Do you have anything you want me to tell him?"
Xi Wu thought for a while before saying: "I want him to live well, to find a girl who is in love, to live this life happily and calmly without wind and waves." β
Xi Wu said, squinting and laughing, his smile was bright, like spring light.
Two crystal pearls, but shattered on her cheeks.
