Chapter 69: Life and Death Gu (38)

In the end, Childe and I still didn't stay in the Qianyun Palace.

Wen Zipei went out of the palace after saying those words, and when Wen Changge saw it, he happily ran over and walked side by side with him, tilting his head and saying something to him. After hearing this, Wen Zipei only bowed slightly, and the expression on his face did not show any change.

I was bored with Wen Zipei, and I suddenly became unhappy. Besides, Wen Changge also asked him to choose a wedding dress or something together, which made me feel unfair for Jiuhuang.

I threw away the orange in my hand, and my tone was very indignant: "Childe, I think this Wen Zipei is really a scumbag!

Childe looked at me and shook it helplessly, his tone was a little childish, and he had a sense of seeing through the vicissitudes of the world: "Little ballad, this is a person." People are the most affectionate, but they are also the most ruthless. ”

"Huh!" I threw the orange against the wall, and watched it explode as I wished, and the juice splashed everywhere, and my mood suddenly improved.

"Didn't he want to admit that Jiuhuang didn't want to see her?" I snorted, watching the miserable orange fall from the wall and roll on the ground twice, pulling out a very bad laugh, "The more he doesn't want to see him, the more I want them to meet." ”

Childe looked at the splashing juice and the orange that was no longer visible, raised his eyebrows, and a smile flashed in his eyes.

Next, I discussed it with Gongzi and decided not to go back for the time being, but to stay on Sanwei Mountain to find an opportunity for Jiuhuang to meet Wen Zipei.

But I didn't expect this to be three days, although it was very boring in these three days, but I accidentally learned a big thing while I was wandering around with my son, that is-the person Wen Changge was going to marry, it was not Wen Zipei, but the young master of another sect.

This surprised me a little.

Although Wen Changge was very angry when he thought he was going to marry Wen Zipei, but after thinking about it, the two of them had a marriage contract, and Wen Zipei went to southern Xinjiang to find the Gu of life and death just to make her wake up. Now that Wen Changge has woken up as he wished, it is naturally not an exaggeration for Wen Zipei to marry her.

But now he told me that the person Wen Changge was going to marry was not Wen Zipei...... To be honest, it's a bit of a big difference, and I can't accept it.

But Gongzi didn't seem to be surprised as if he had already guessed this matter, and when he saw my depressed look, he came over to enlighten me: "Look, don't you like Wen Zipei marrying her, and now that you have got what you want, what is there to be unhappy about." ”

I thought about it after listening to it, but this Wen Changge is also quite unlucky. was caught and threatened by Wen Zipei, and finally fell into a coma, and he didn't wake up until now. After waking up, he thought that Wen Zipei would fulfill his promise to marry her, but he didn't expect that he would push her to someone else. No wonder her face was so haggard when I saw her that day, presumably this is the reason.

But Wen Zipei seemed to not know Wen Changge's reluctance, and after helping her choose a wedding dress, prepare a dowry, and things like gold hairpins, jade bracelets, rouge, gouache, etc., he locked himself up in the Qianyun Palace to deal with affairs.

This boredom lasted until the third night.

On the third day, the twilight was slightly dull and the moonlight was like water.

Wen Zipei, who had been in the Qianyun Hall for three days, finally raised his head from the heavy affairs, glanced at the full moon hanging in the sky through the window, and after a little hesitation, he stood up from behind the table, his dark clothes fell to the ground, and drew a curve on the ground with his movements.

I pulled the dozing childe, glared at him, and then turned to follow. Childe sighed helplessly when he saw my movements, and then raised his feet and followed behind me.

I followed Wen Zipei through the winding and deep corridor, and the lantern hanging on the eaves of the corridor revealed a warm halo, and fell on him as a deep shadow.

Wen Zipei paused for a moment at the fork in the corridor, then turned his steps slightly, and walked towards the woods on the side.

I paused after him, looking at his back as he gradually disappeared into the depths, and wondered why he ran into the woods for no reason in the middle of the night.

The boy on the side looked at my paused steps, walked straight past me, and followed behind Wen Zipei slowly, and a faint voice came with the night breeze: "Little Yuer, if you don't keep up, I'm afraid you will be lost." ”

I pursed my lips, suppressed what I was thinking, raised my steps and trotted to follow: "Childe, you wait for me." ”

Wen Zipei walked in the woods, his steps were not hurried or slow, the corners of his dark clothes occasionally brushed the branches, leaving a rustling sound, and the cold moonlight fell on him, making the whole person even colder.

After walking through the woods, you will see a barren mess of grass, and occasionally one or two trees that have long since died will fall weakly to the ground, looking very scary. The occasional birdsong or two in the air sounded particularly loud and eerie in the silence of the night.

I don't understand what Wen Zipei is doing here in the middle of the night, this place is so secluded and so desolate, it looks like it has been abandoned for a long time, to say that he is here to enjoy the scenery and relax...... If my head gets caught in the door, I can still believe it.

Wen Zipei raised his eyes and looked ahead, and there was silence in his deep eyes. He paused in his steps and walked straight towards the middle of the grass.

When I approached Wen Zipei, I found that there was a lonely grave in the middle of the barren grass. Although it is a lonely grave, there are no weeds on the grave, and it looks like it is often cleaned up.

I looked at the lonely grave and was a little surprised, although I saw a dirt bag when I first came, but I never thought that the dirt bag was actually a tomb. I sighed, Amitabha, sin, sin.

But whose grave does it belong to?

I had doubts in my heart, so I didn't hesitate anymore and squinted my eyes at the tombstone. I saw that under the moonlight, the stone tablet was rightly engraved - the tomb of my wife Wen's nine phoenixes. Under the word "husband" are three words that are all too familiar - Wen Zipei.

I was stunned, and then looked at Childe blankly. Childe raised his eyebrows when he looked at it, raised his chin in the direction of Wen Zipei, and motioned for me to continue looking.

The sound of shoes rolling through the grass slowed down, and finally disappeared in front of the stone monument. Wen Zipei lowered his head slightly, his eyes reflected the appearance of the stone tablet, and the moonlight left a shadow under his eyes through his long eyelashes.

Wen Zipei looked at it for a long time, and suddenly sat down like that, he reached out and stroked the tombstone, the cold touch came from his fingertips, he pulled the corners of his mouth and smiled, the smile was a little hollow.

He said, "Jiuhuang, I've come to see you." ”

Wen Zipei sat on the ground, his fingers lightly resting on the stone tablet, half of his face was cold and indifferent on weekdays, half of it was hidden in the shadows, and only half of it showed a lonely and resolute silhouette. The other half of his face looked faintly pale under the moonlight.

The placket of his dark robe was slightly open, and the purple jade around his waist refracted a deep light in the night. The jade crown was not erected, and the long hair was scattered, and it was a little messy by the evening breeze. Even the moody ink-colored eyes of Su Ri were dyed a little dark and gloomy at some point, with a tomb in front of him, such an appearance was embarrassed and lonely.

"Jiuhuang, do you know, two people came to me two days ago and said you wanted to see me...... But they don't know, you're dead, how can you see me?"

Wen Zipei smiled softly, his smile a little bitter. His gaze fell back on the stele, snaking down with the nicks.

"You don't want to see me...... Otherwise, why don't you even enter my dreams after all this time?"

He smiled self-deprecatingly.

"You're right not to see me. I made you like this, and I selfishly left you here, but Jiuhuang ......" his slender fingers pressed against the stone tablet, he frowned slightly, a look of pain faintly appeared in his eyes, but his voice was soft, "Why don't you believe me?" I said that I would not let you die, I was not lying to you, at that time I had already sent someone to invite Baili Changqing to come over, but I didn't expect it to be too late. ”

"Jiuhuang, you have such a cheerful temperament, why do you have to do things so desperately? You won't even give me a chance to say no. His eyes were full of ink, and it took a long time to close his eyes, and he said softly, "It's really stupid...... I don't know if I was saying it to myself, or to Jiuhuang, who had already turned to ashes.

I watched as the black figure fell silent.

When Zuo Yu handed over Jiuhuang's ashes to Wen Zipei, he told him that he would have time to send Jiuhuang back to southern Xinjiang, but Wen Zipei kept her and buried her on Sanwei Mountain.

I don't know what his behavior means, but when he said those things that were powerless and impossible to blame, it gave me a vague feeling that the words that Purple Charm said before leaving were right.

Zi Mei once said to Wen Zipei: "Is the sect leader in love with her?"

Wen Zipei didn't answer at that time, but now it seems that he really likes it.

But after thinking about it, Jiuhuang liked him so much in the past, and all he missed was him, giving him the purest and youngest feelings. That feeling has not experienced any storms before those things have happened and are irretrievable, and have not faced the difficulties of the world, which is so bright that people dare not accept it, and no one can ruthlessly ignore the rejection.

This "no one" must also include Wen Zipei.

Otherwise, he would not have been tolerant of everything in Jiuhuang, would not have allowed her to come to the Qianyun Palace to find him for three days and two days, would not have taught her to paint when she proposed to learn to paint, and would not have comforted her after she was saddened by Zi Mei's words and said that she was going to marry her......

But Wen Zipei's feelings were hidden too deeply, and he didn't even show them at all, but maybe even he didn't know his feelings for Jiuhuang, so he would make a wrong step, a wrong step.

What's more, there is a Wen Changge between the two of them, and there is also a life and death Gu between them, how can such two people have so much good luck bypassing the rugged and winding road and coming together without a little damage?

And then so many things happened, and so many misunderstandings occurred, so the two could only go farther and farther, farther and farther, and finally far away from life and death, separated by people and ghosts.

I suddenly felt a little bored in my heart, pulled Childe, and said sincerely: "Childe, I feel a little regretful." ”

Childe raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and replied leisurely: "There will definitely be regrets, in this world, how many people will say that they have no regrets?"

I looked at the black figure and the lonely tomb, and my voice was muffled: "But Wen Zipei may also like Jiuhuang, and now Wen Changge is also getting married, if Jiuhuang lives......" I imagined it for a while, and said very seriously, "They should live well." ”

Childe smiled and patted my head: "Where are there so many ifs?" He raised his eyes to look at Wen Zipei, and the dark night was reflected in his eyes, "People, it's all like this, you always have to wait until you lose it before you know how to cherish it." ”

As soon as the words fell, a layer of pale cyan light suddenly emanated from Childe's body, which was particularly conspicuous in the dark night.

I looked startled and subconsciously asked, "Childe, what's going on?"

As if he hadn't expected it, Childe frowned slightly, and as soon as he turned his right hand, the lock lamp appeared in his hand, and the light flashed on it.

I was stunned and looked at Childe, who looked down at the lock lamp with a pale cyan light, and a flash of clarity flashed in his eyes.

"You want to come up with it?" asked Childe.

The glow of the lock lamp suddenly became stronger.

Childe looked at the black figure sitting in front of the lonely grave and squinted: "But now is not the time, your soul is not yet stable, if you come out rashly, it will only disappear." ”

The light of the lock lamp was a little stronger, and it even moved in Childe's hand, as if to express his firmness.

Childe looked at the lock lamp and was silent, and I interjected on the side: "Childe, just let her come out, after all, we brought her here to see Wen Zipei." ”

Childe was silent for a long time, and then nodded: "Okay then, but the consequences are at your own risk." After reciting the mantra silently, a burst of intense light erupted from the lock lamp, and a little streamer flew out of the lock lamp with a "whoosh", and then fell straight in the direction of Wen Zipei.

Childe looked at it and sighed lightly and shook his head: "It's really a stupid person who fell in love." ”

The sky was getting darker and darker, the half-moon crescent moon was gradually hidden in the thick clouds, and the cold light was also taken away, and for a while, the sky and the earth were only gloomy.

"...... Pei"

A light call came with the night breeze and fell into Wen Zipei's ears. Wen Zipei's body stiffened, and he listened carefully, but he only heard the "rustle" sound of the wind blowing through the branches.

Wen Zipei's stiff body gradually softened, and before the self-deprecating smile on the corner of his mouth could be aroused, he heard another soft call.

"...... Pei"

"Ah Pei!

The sound grew closer, an ethereal echo in the empty meadow. Before Wen Zipei could come back to his senses, a light and shadow passed by his side, and then stopped in front of him. In mid-air, the girl with a slightly transparent body tilted her head and smiled at him, her eyes were bent into a beautiful crescent shape, and her voice was familiar crisp and soft.

"Ah Pei, I've come to see you!"

Wen Zipei's body froze again, and he slowly raised his head, it was obviously such a simple action, but it seemed to have taken a century. Such a difficult and slow movement, just afraid that when I look up, I will not see the person I want to see.

Wen Zipei looked at the person floating in mid-air, his body trembled slightly, and his clenched hands were also shaking. That person was still familiar in his memory, smiling brightly at him, and his eyes were shining, as if he contained thousands of stars in this world.

Jiuhuang's body emitted a glowing white glow in the night sky, and Wen Zipei looked stunned for a long time before he spoke in a dry voice: "Jiuhuang...... ......?"

"It's me!" Jiuhuang circled around him, and then stopped in front of him, looking very happy, "Ah Pei, I'm back, are you happy?"

Wen Zipei looked up at her, as if he couldn't get enough of it in his life, so serious. It took a long time for a smile to appear on the corner of his mouth, and he nodded seriously like a child: "Happy." ”

Jiuhuang tilted his head and smiled at him, the white light emitted from his body became more and more intense, and his body began to become illusory from his feet, turning into subtle points of light, and then scattered in the night wind.

Wen Zipei's pupils shrank slightly, but Jiuhuang waved it nonchalantly, and smiled at him: "Ah Pei, I'm about to leave, do you have any wishes, I may help you realize it if you say it!"

Wen Zipei looked at the figure that gradually dissipated, his expression was dazed and at a loss, he stretched out his hand as if he wanted to touch her, and Jiuhuang also stretched out his hand when he saw it.

He looked at her and muttered to himself as if unconscious, "I hope you survive, you can cry and smile at me...... Jiuhuang, I only have this one wish...... In this way, you won't help me achieve it......?"

The hand that had not yet touched it suddenly shattered, Wen Zipei's pupils shrank, and he wanted to clench it consciously, but he only grabbed the light point of one hand.

Wen Zipei raised his head suddenly, only to see that Jiuhuang was also looking at him, his eyes were foggy, but he still pulled a smile at him. Then, there were suddenly more points of light in the night sky, and there was a bright one, but the original position was already gone.

"...... Pei"

The slightly choked soft voice was scattered in the night breeze, and disappeared in a blink of an eye.

A little green light flew out of Childe's fingertips, enveloping a misty white light in the air, and then quietly disappeared into the night sky.

"Boom ——!!"

Suddenly there was a thunderclap in the gloomy sky, followed by heavy rain. The raindrops the size of beans fell to the ground, splashing small splashes.

Wen Zipei was drenched all over his body without accident, he sat on the ground in a daze, his clothes were full of mud spots, and countless water marks slid down his cheeks, but he continued to clench his fists just now as if he didn't care.

I don't know how long it took for his eyes to gradually shine, his clenched fist gradually loosened, and a few white rays flew out of his palm, and then were scattered by the rain.

Wen Zipei just looked at it like that, his eyes were dark, and it took him a long time before he said softly, his voice hoarse.

“…… You see, you still haven't helped me achieve ......"

"Nine Phoenix ......"

I looked at the man in the rain in silence, and the son next to me also followed me for a while, and then pulled me around: "Let's go, it's over." ”

I obediently followed behind Childe, and was silent for a long time before asking, "Childe, is the soul of the Nine Phoenix really dispersed?"

Childe raised his eyebrows, as if he knew that I would ask like this, and replied in a relaxed tone: "No, I protected her origin and sent her to the underworld." ”

I nodded, feeling a little depressed and a little dizzy.

The boy who walked in front didn't seem to notice my emotions, and said as he walked: "Little ballad, do you remember the bet I made with you?"

I was stunned: "I remember." ”

Childe stopped and turned to look at me, with a smile in his eyes: "In that case, then fulfill your promise now." ”

I came to my senses when I heard this, looked up at him very defensively, and looked vigilant: "What are you going to do?"

The corners of Childe's mouth twitched when he looked at me, he shook his head a little helplessly, and took out a delicate sandalwood box with his right hand, he handed the box to me and raised his eyebrows: "Open it and take a look." ”

I continued to take the box vigilantly, it was made of sandalwood and carried a lot of weight in my hand. It is carved with delicate patterns, and several fingernail-sized blue crystals are inlaid on it, which looks very atmospheric and beautiful.

I put my hand on the buckle and looked at Childe hesitantly, and Childe saw it and continued to signal me to open it with his eyes. I paused, and with a slight pick of my hand, there was a soft "click", and the box was opened, and the contents were suddenly presented in front of my eyes.

The box is lined with white silk embroidered with flowing clouds, and three blood hostas of the same style lie on it. The hosta hairpin body is slender, the top is carved with delicate and complex patterns, look at it together, the patterns on the three hairpins actually faintly constitute a flying phoenix.

I was startled by this thing, but Childe shook his fan and seemed to be very happy and asked, "How, is it pretty?"

I nodded stunned, but I hadn't come back to my senses: "It's beautiful." ”

"Then I'll give it to you. Childe waved his hand, very generously and authentically. At the end, he added as if he remembered something, "Accept it, it's the promise I want you to keep." ”

I looked up at Childe in a daze, only to see him standing in front of me, behind him was an endless curtain of rain, raindrops falling from a high place, and as soon as I reached him, I was blocked by a layer of cyan light. He looked at me with a smile on his lips, and his eyes were gentle.

I looked a little dizzy: "Childe, I'm ......"

I took it.

Before he finished speaking, he saw that the standing boy seemed to shake, and then in the next second, his eyes were dark, and his body instantly lost his strength, and he fell softly to the back.

The moment I fell, I thought that it was raining so hard that the dress I had just changed today was going to be scrapped.
