Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Lover's Absolute
That year, Ye Du was thirteen years old, he got lost in the huge Loulan Palace, and couldn't find his way, so he went to the pavilion covered with flowers in the palace, and then, he saw Ah Li. They hit it off at first sight, as if they had endless words, she invited him to eat osmanthus sugar steamed cake, and he told her about the outside world. Ye Du often asked her: "Why do you like flowers, flowers are withering, and beauties are twilight, which is a very sad thing in the world." Whenever he asked, Ah Li would always sing a song, and it was not until Ye Du was about to leave Loulan that Ah Li told him: Flowers will always be grateful, people will always be separated, and flowers will wither like time passes, and they will never return......
That year, Ye Duan was eighteen years old, and he learned the Tao on the first floor of the Nine Dragon Palace, and he was known as a once-in-a-century swordsmanship genius and the last disciple of Wuji Zhenren! However, his Ah Li also married Xiao Daocheng, the formation genius of the Taiyi Palace, the first of the three generations of disciples of the Nine Dragons Palace, in September of that year. It was also that day that Ye Duan left the Nine Dragons Hall in despair, and drank all night of wine that night, until he vomited blood clots, unconscious......
In the past two years, Ye Dui's life has been terrible, often sleeping during the day and drinking all night long. He lives a muddy and depressed life every day, perhaps, only when he is in a dream, he will laugh, because in the dream he will meet Ah Li. Ye Du never knew if he was still in love with Ah Li, but this long longing like a dark night had been tormenting his heart and soul, making him lose weight day by day......
"Flowers withering are like the passage ......of time, never to return" Ah Li dressed in red, fluttering, her eyes looked straight into Ye Dui's eyes, all the way to his heart.
Ye Twilight was looking greedily at the woman in front of her, her hair, her eyes, her lips, her body, so real! Only now, Ye Twilight could look at the beloved woman in front of him unscrupulously, he was always used to carefully hiding his feelings. Now, Ye Dui is repeatedly carving Ah Li's shadow into his mind and into his bones......
They have been separated for too long, they haven't seen each other for too long, they haven't spoken for too long, how much Ye Duan wants to hug Ah Li into his arms, but he can't, because Ah Li is no longer his! He doesn't want her to be sad, so he has been trying his best to control his feelings.
"Have you ever loved me?" Ah Li stood still in front of Ye Dui, and asked with a resolute expression, her eyes shining with tears, as if she had summoned great courage.
Ye Du almost burst into tears, how much he wanted to embrace Ah Li into his arms and tell him about the pain of separation...... He finally lowered his voice and said calmly, "No!"
Scold...... Hehe...... , Ah Li smiled like a flower, but when she laughed, tears suddenly flowed, she bit her red lip out of blood, and said tremblingly: "I'll ...... You know, a cold-blooded animal like you wouldn't... Do you know that I went to the first floor of Yufeng Zhen to find you many times, are you ...... Are you in love with another woman?"
"Yes!" replied simply.
"That'...... What about her...... What's her name?" asked Ah Li.
"Gu Manman", Ye Du replied very simply.
Ah Li raised his head, looked at this blood-red flower building, and said with a sad face: "You once said that you would be with me for the rest of your life!"
Ye Duan lowered his head and said with a sad expression: "In this world, how can there be any vows and mountain alliances......
"You're such a person...... , but I still remember such a promise. I would like to be able to enjoy the flowers with you in the flower building of Loulan Palace, but ...... Goodbye to you, it's already ...... Very satisfied......", Ah Li's voice became smaller and farther away......
Ye Du raised his head suddenly, Ah Li's face in front of him was as white as paper, and his body was also shaking. He suddenly rushed forward like crazy, wanting to hug Ah Li, he didn't want to deceive her anymore, he wanted to tell her how much he loved her......
However, it's strange that no matter how hard Ye Duan tries, he can't catch the person he loves. Ah Li is as ethereal as light and shadow, beautiful and fragile, what's going on, is this in a dream!
"Die!" A woman's soft voice sounded out of thin air, and before the sound fell, a red sword had passed through Ye Dui's chest, and in his arms, Ah Li's figure had already disappeared like a wave. However, Ye Dui still wanted to catch the haunting figure, and he tried many times to no avail. After a long time, Ye Dui stopped and turned around with difficulty, and then, he saw Hu Die, whose face was cold.
Hu Die looked at him coldly, slowly withdrew the long sword in his hand, and chuckled: "Shura King Ye Duan!"
Blood poured out of Ye Dui's chest quickly, soaking the black hem of her body. Ye Du looked down at the long sword in Hu Die's hand, and said with a miserable expression: "Thirty-three demon arts, the illusion lover is unique, sure enough...... There is no other in the world!"
"Do you know why I want you to die?" asked Hu Die.
Ye Du tried not to close his heavy eyes, and kept shaking his body and said, "I remember that many years ago, there was a girl like you, who had red plum blossom marks tattooed on her wrist, but I ...... Kill...... Killed her mother......"
The blood had already spread on the red petals on the ground, and the light and shadow in front of Ye Dui's eyes were gradually disappearing, he wanted to sleep, he had never felt so tired. He opened his mouth again, trying to say something, but his throat couldn't make a sound. He finally closed his eyes and fell onto the petals of the place......
I don't know how long it took, Hu Die slowly bent down and sat next to Ye Du, her eyebrows locked with clove-like sorrow. She gently wiped away the tears from the corners of Ye Du's eyes with her white fingers, and said with a gentle gaze: "You, why do you make people feel so distressed?" ......
Sunset, setting in the west......
The blood-colored remnant sun spread on the turquoise lake, reflecting countless figures standing on their bows, and then these shadows all disappeared into the water. On this quiet long street, the sound of horses' hooves gradually drifted away, and after a while, this small building became lively again, with the lights on and the string songs:
knife
What kind of knife is it,
Five ghost guillotine knives!
sword
What is the sword,
Deadly Rouge Sword!
crooked
What kind of song is it,
Ecstasy!
person
What kind of person is it,
There are lovers in the rivers and lakes!
