Zhang Heng's eyes quickly flashed with a hint of astonishment.

Du Ziren hugged him, patted his back comfortably with his left hand, and wrapped his right hand around Zhang Heng's forehead, with his index finger lightly touching the center of his eyebrows.

Zhang Heng in his arms slowly calmed down, and his eyes turned black again.

This embrace is very familiar, Zhang Heng looked at Du Ziren blankly, and vaguely remembered that it seemed that many years ago, there were people like him, on the mountain full of wind sounds, gently, giving him a silent embrace.

Many forgotten things emerged from the depths of his memory bit by bit, flashing quickly in front of his eyes, smiling, holding hands with each other, looking back at each other...... Many of the images come together and gradually merge into two tightly embracing backs.

Those past are like smooth pearls, dusted in the depths of memory in the wind and rain of 3,000 years, dim. But in an inadvertent moment, those pearls were turned in front of their eyes, and after the dust on them was wiped away, it was even more brilliant and unparalleled in the world.

"Three thousand years." Du Ziren hugged Zhang Heng and said softly: "Come with me...... We're all on the wrong track. ”

Zhang Heng looked at him blankly for a long time, and his eyes suddenly became wet.

This embrace is three thousand years late, and three thousand years can turn a pure-hearted ghost into a pale and cold corpse, a hot and sincere heart can become cold and hypocritical, and what was originally within reach can forever become an illusion.

The hug can be repeated, but Zhang Heng has no way out.

He raised his eyes to look at Du Ziren, smiled with red eyes, and then reached out to hug Du Ziren's waist and closed his eyes gently.

"Do it, I'll go with you."

Du Ziren looked at him with soft eyes, covered his cheeks with his hands and carefully traced his facial features with his fingers, and after a while, his left hand slowly moved up and covered his eyes.

"It doesn't hurt...... I'll be looking for you soon. ”

The corners of Zhang Heng's lips hooked, and he hummed shallowly.

To put it mildly, it's over as soon as it happens.

The gentle smile on Du Ziren's face completely dissipated, his left hand was still covering Zhang Heng's eyes, but his right hand had moved to his abdomen, which was stained with dark red blood.

His expression and eyes were very light, and for a moment Gu Nan couldn't bear to look at him.

What is it like to destroy someone who has put yourself in your heart for thousands of years?

Gu Nan didn't want to know for the rest of his life.

"A lot of things aren't over yet." Du Ziren said softly: "The ghost world is in chaos, and the Nine Fu Ghost Master has fallen...... A lot of things, what Zhang Heng owes, I will pay back with him. ”

As he spoke, he stood up with Zhang Heng's body in his arms and took a step towards the magic circle.

Gu Nan looked up at him.

Du Ziren closed his eyes, covered his hand stained with Zhang Heng's blood on his abdomen, and said lightly: "This is the end." ”

With his words, at the same time as the dark red blood spilled out of his abdomen, Gu Nan saw that the figure in front of him suddenly turned into two different colored lights, and the dark gold and blue light floated above the magic circle and continued to entangle, and finally merged together and fell into the brilliant magic circle.

Milky white points of light appeared from the magic circle, gradually enveloping the entire Luo Yu Mountain.

Gu Nan closed his eyes gently-

A cholera, the fall of the ghost emperors of the north and south.

But in fact, it won't be long before a new ghost emperor will succeed him and take over the burden of the ghost mansions in the north and south again.

Gu Nan sat on the white bridge and looked around, and soon, a pair of hands passed by his side and gently hugged him: "It's late, why don't you go back?" ”

"I'm waiting." Gu Nan sighed, the matter of the ghost mansion came to an end, but the husky never came back.

Gu Nan couldn't remember exactly how long it had been since he had seen him.

"That dog of yours?" Duan Hong raised his eyebrows and sat down beside him, stretched out his hand to put the translucent paper crane condensed by spiritual power into Gu Nan's hand, and said, "It will come back, don't worry." ”

"Yes." Gu Nan smiled, unloaded his strength and leaned on Duan Hong's arms and put his head on his heart, the blood hole in the deep visible bone had disappeared, and it looked no different from before...... In addition to heartbeat and temperature.

- The resurrected Duan Hong lost his heartbeat and body temperature.

Sometimes Gu Nan would think about what Duan Hong was now.

He has an entity that is not registered as a ghost, not a ghost, but he has no heartbeat and body temperature, unlike a human.

In fact, it's not over yet.

Occasionally, Gu Nan looked at the water of the Styx River under his feet, and such a thought appeared in his mind.

Seeing Gu Nan in a daze, Duan Hong wrapped his arms around Gu Nan's waist with a good-natured smile: "Go back." ”

"Okay." Gu Nan nodded, but he still refused to stand up.

Duan Hong naturally wouldn't let go of such an opportunity, and walked around Gu Nan with both hands and picked him up: "Let's go." ”

In the middle of the night, Gu Nan couldn't sleep, lying on the bed and looking outside with his eyes open.

A little ghost fire floats in front of the window, not weird, very beautiful.

Gu Nan sat up and put on his clothes, and carefully bypassed Duan Hong and got out of bed.

The ghost mansion at night is quiet, the water of the Styx River flows slowly, and the petals of the Styx flower bloom silently all around.

Gu Nan sat down on the white bridge, looking at the quiet ghost mansion in front of him, no matter how he looked at it, he felt that something was wrong.

After staying on the white bridge for half an hour, Gu Nan tightened his collar and got up to go back to his room.

Duan Hong was still sleeping, Gu Nan tiptoed in and sat down on the edge of the bed, looking down at Duan Hong's face.

Gu Nan stretched out his hand to stroke Duan Hong's cheek, and the moment his fingers touched the skin, those tightly closed eyes slowly broke away.

"......" Gu Nan quickly withdrew his finger and pretended to greet him as if nothing happened: "You're awake." ”

Duan Hong nodded, and after a while, he said softly: "I hurt." ”

"Where?" Gu Nan hurriedly stood up.

Duan Hong didn't speak, reached out to hold Gu Nan's hand and put it on his chest, moving it up.

Gu Nan was stunned.

He looked down and saw a bloody hole in the latter's chest.

Shocking.

Suddenly there was a heavy slam on the back.

Gu Nan raised his head abruptly and found that he was still at the top of Luo Yu Mountain.

The husky, who had just bumped into him, stood next to him: "Host, why are you always trapped by illusions for nothing?" ”

"You ......"

"Don't worry, I'm fine." The husky wagged his tail: "But it looks ...... You don't seem to be a good target. ”

Hearing the husky's words, Gu Nan lowered his eyes and looked at the blood hole in Duan Hong's chest, his eyes were dark and uncertain.

Yo Ha sighed: "In this world, I deliberately didn't issue a mission for you to fly freely, but you just can't fly without me." ”

As he spoke, the husky flicked his tail, and the long-lost system mechanical prompt instantly sounded in Gu Nan's mind.

[Ding, the main quest of the plot [Redemption] is opened, and the host can choose 1, sacrifice with the heart of a ghost, and start the follow-up plot 01 after resurrecting Duan Hong. 2, give up redemption, and start the follow-up plot 02 after Duan Hong dies. 】

Gu Nan looked at the husky in silence: "Next time, this kind of proposition that can't have a second choice shouldn't be a multiple-choice question, okay?" ”

Yo Ha shook his ears: "Host, I really didn't cheat you this time, contributing your heart is just a choice, and the ending will let you leave this world safely...... Well, the only difference is that the former hurts. ”

"The latter hurts too." Gu Nan looked at Duan Hong's pale face and sighed, "I'll choose the first one." ”

The husky had a "I knew it was like this" expression and took a step back: "Host, come on." ”

Gu Nan snorted, put his hand on his chest, and gritted his teeth.

The husky wagged his tail behind him and hummed, "Oh...... Give you my heart, oh...... Please don't abandon ......"

"......" Gu Nan's courage that he had finally brewed completely disappeared.

He turned his head and glared at the husky, and Yo Ha instantly silenced him: "Isn't this trying to liven up the atmosphere...... Host you continue. ”

Gu Nan rolled his eyes, re-brewed his affection, and exerted himself.

Pale red points of light floated out of his chest, merging with the dark gold and blue points of light above, brilliant and beautiful.

Gu Nan slowly withdrew his palm.

Zhang Heng still lied to him in the end, Gu Nan endured the pain in his heart, and looked down at his feet that were gradually becoming transparent...... Yan Ghost can't live without heart, he can't continue to fly with Duan Hong.

Zhang Heng is a liar, and the husky is a cheat.

This was the only thought Gu Nan had before his eyes darkened.

[Ding, the main quest of the plot [Redemption] is completed, the reward points are 10,000, and the follow-up mission 01 of the plot [Remembering the Boy's Spring Shirt] is opened. The mission duration is eight hours, please refuel the host. 】

In early spring and February, the grass grows and the warbler flies.

Yan Huihong went, and the willows were green everywhere.

Gu Nan stood on the street and looked around, people came and went, and the hawkers next to him were endless, he looked down at his hands, which were fat and white and tender, and they were children's hands at a glance.

Reaching out and poking the character panel, after the chrysanthemum petals, a scroll appeared in front of Gu Nan.

He unfolded the scroll, and there was a row of small letters above it.

Time: Three hundred years ago.

Location: Inside Jinling City.

Status: Always treated as an adult

Age: Eight years old

[Ding, the main quest [Meet] is released, mission content: Shun lì found Duan Hong, who was not a ghost master three hundred years ago. 】

Gu Nan snorted, glanced at his little arms and short legs, and felt that the future was really bleak.

Standing in place and stunned for a while, Gu Nan raised his feet and began to walk around the street, the scenery of Jinling City is very good, the ancient rhyme is beautiful, and it is pleasing to the eye.

After walking two streets, there was a candy man stall on the corner of the street in front.

Looking at the candy men of various shapes on the stalls, smelling the sweetness in the air, Gu Nan's foodie essence could not be hidden, and he watched the sugar man swallow his saliva.

He wanted to eat, but he didn't have the money.

A disdainful voice came from behind him: "Silly. ”

Gu Nan felt that he shouldn't be talking about himself, so he ignored it.

The voice paused for a moment and resounded: "What about you, the one in red clothes in front." ”

Now Gu Nan was sure that he was talking about him.

He turned his head, and the moment he looked at the cheeks of the person behind him, the system prompt sounded.

[Ding, the target task is looking for success, name: Duan Hong (Duan Hengzhi), age: eight, race: human race, identity: three hundred years later, your attack. 】

In front of him was a boy, dressed in black clothes, his eyebrows were slightly raised, and he could vaguely see the appearance of Duan Hong in the future.

Gu Nan watched him be silent for a few seconds, and couldn't help laughing.

It turns out that Duan Hong, the dead hooligan, was like this when he was a child, hahaha, and sure enough, there is no difference from childhood to adulthood.

Seeing him laugh, Duan Hong's eyebrows furrowed and he snorted: "What are you laughing at, do you want to eat?" ”

Gu Nan's eyes were bright and he nodded.

Duan Hong sneered: "Keep up." ”

After a stick of incense, each of them held a candy man and stood on the corner of the street to look at each other's eating appearances.

After solving the sugar man, Duan Hong turned around and left, Gu Nan grabbed him with one hand: "Don't be in a hurry to go, take me with you." ”

Duan Hong turned around and looked at him with disgust, and sighed.

Gu Nan wrinkled his nose, he dislikes me now, if you know how you will run after me with a dead face in three hundred years, you can't cry to death.

Duan Hong, who was upright, finally took Gu Nan with him, and the two ate small snacks all around, and finally found a place to sit down with their round stomachs.

Gu Nan touched his stomach with satisfaction, and turned to look at Duan Hong: "Come and get to know me, my name is Gu Nan, what about you?" ”

"Duan Hong, the word is balanced." Duan Hong spoke: "How can you eat so much." ”

"Isn't it good to eat at all?" Gu Nan snorted: "Actually, I still want to eat the osmanthus cake on the side of the road, but unfortunately I can't eat it." ”

“……”

Duan Hong snorted: "Just stand up, I'll take you around." ”

"Okay." Gu Nan sighed and stood up.

Duan Hong raised his eyebrows and shook Gu Nan's hand.

The two of them walked around the embankment, occasionally looking at some of the gadgets and juggling on the street,

The sun was slanting in the west, and the ground was covered with broken gold.

Gu Nan sat on the shore and looked at the willow tree next to him, Duan Hong looked at him for a while, lowered his eyes and smiled: "Do you like willow trees?" ”

"It's fine."

Duan Hong stretched out his hand behind his back, and the willow branches in his hand swayed in the wind, full of vitality.

"For you." Duan Hong put the willow branch in Gu Nan's hand.

Gu Nan held the willow branch: "Thank you." ”

Duan Hong sat down beside Gu Nan.

The breeze was gentle, the willow branches were swaying slightly, and the two sat silently for a long time, and the sky gradually darkened, and then there were light spots around them little by little.

The lights are on.

Gu Nan clenched the willow branch and stood up.

"Are you leaving?" Duan Hong stood up after him.

"It's time to go." Gu Nan looked at the half-hour countdown behind the task panel.

"......" Duan Hong was silent for a while, then turned his head and twisted and asked, "When will you come next time?" ”

Gu Nan took a step forward, reached out and pinched a translucent paper crane with spiritual power, and then put the paper crane in his hand in Duan Hong's surprised eyes.

"Three hundred years later, you will go to the ghost mansion of Luo Yu Mountain, where there is the River Styx, and there are very beautiful red flowers blooming next to the River Styx, and there is a white bridge above the flowers, and there is a ghost dressed in red on it." Gu Nan smiled and said, "If you see him, remember to come up and say your name to him, and then use every means to be by his side, he will love you." ”

Duan Hong hugged the paper crane and looked at him blankly.

Gu Nan's eyebrows curled: "By the way, when the time comes, remember to pinch such a paper crane often for him, he likes it very much, remember?" ”

“…… Remembered. ”

"That's good." Gu Nan stretched out his hand to hug Duan Hong: "Then, goodbye, Duan Hong, Duan Hengzhi." ”

Duan Hong looked at him in silence.

Gu Nan let go of his hand, slowly retreated, and finally turned around the corner.

Duan Hong was still motionless, looking in his direction.

The system prompt for the end of the countdown sounded softly.

Gu Nan clenched the willow branch and closed his eyes: "Let's go." ”

After that, as usual, it's the big screen.

The minor key is shallow, the Styx River crosses the boat, the Styx water twists and turns, and the red flowers are charming.

The white bridge spans the turbid water above the red flowers, and the color is light.

A pair of feet slowly stepped onto the white bridge, and the black robe brushed over the white bridge railing, gradually stopping behind the red-clothed man at the end.

Long eyebrows into the sideburns, eyebrows and merry eyes.

His gaze fell on the man in red, and many emotions mixed together in his eyes, gradually weaving into a huge web.

The net eventually landed on the man in red, and he withdrew his gaze and reached out to touch the man's waist. Then when the man in red turned around, he stretched out his hand and smiled and spoke.

- "My name is Duan Hong, the word is Hengzhi, Lord Yan Ghost, remember my name." ”

Three hundred years.

I've finally found you.
