On the stage, the dancing queen ended dancing, put away her water sleeves and smiled at the people in the audience before retreating from the stage. Pens~fun~Pavilion www.biquge.info candles in all corners of the dance hall were lit again. In an instant, the lobby was lit up again.
Xie Zhao looked at Lou Luan, revealing a look of ridicule. "Little Taoist Lou Luan, do you want to visit that Miss Shengge?"
What responded to Xie Zhao was Lou Luan's cold glance.
Lou Luan looked at Xie Zhao, who seemed to be smiling, and he resisted the urge to draw his sword.
Pick up your sword, get up, and leave.
Coherent.
Looking at Lou Luan, who seemed to have been left by Xie Zhao, Qingming looked at Lou Luan's back, and then looked at Xie Zhao, who was smiling next to him, with a playful face. It seems to be struggling with whether to go or stay. After hesitating for a moment, he finally got up and caught up with Lou Luan's footsteps.
Looking at the backs of Lou Luan and Qing Ming leaving, Xie Zhao showed a smile that could be called pleasant. is different from her usual smiling and banter, nor is it a fake smile that pulls the corners of her mouth. There was a flash of nostalgia in her eyes. It seems that she and Lou Luan once knew each other, or that she once knew Lou Luan in her previous life. She was looking at another person through Lou Luan.
Putting down the teacup that he was unconsciously playing with in his hand, Xie Zhao stood up and brushed the hem of his clothes that were a little wrinkled because he was sitting on the chair. It seems that she has to visit Shengge.
Sheng Ge sat in front of the mirror, staring blankly at himself in the mirror. Suddenly, she grasped the jewel-encrusted dagger that had been placed in front of the mirror. If the knife is cut down on the face, will she be relieved? But would he look at her again? Thinking of this, she let go of the dagger she held weakly. She was still scared after all. Afraid that the man would leave her.
She saw in the mirror a man in red suddenly appeared behind her. I saw the man in red smile at him, although the smile looked extremely gentle, but there was no warmth at all. It's just the most conventional smile.
"Yo, it's a shame if such a beautiful face is scratched." His fingers swept lightly over Sheng Ge's cheek.
Smack, Sheng Ge turned around and was a slap.
"Sss Xie Zhao couldn't help but gasp. Rubbing his cheeks that had been slapped by Shengge. "It hurts."
Sheng Ge looked at Xie Zhao, who was rubbing his face but was not angry and angry, and held the dagger tightly in his hand, as if Xie Zhao made any more moves, she would stab him mercilessly.
Looking at Sheng Ge's vigilant look, Xie Zhao's body began to be surrounded by black mist, but it was only an instant, and by the time the black fog dissipated, she had already recovered the appearance of a girl in red. "So we can have a good talk?" Xie Zhao raised his eyebrows and looked at Shengge with a guarded face.
"You...... It's a demon. Sheng Ge opened her mouth with some hesitation, her voice was soft, and it sounded as if it could melt people's hearts.
Xie Zhao sat down unceremoniously, and then nodded generously in acknowledgement.
Sheng Ge looked at Xie Zhao in front of him and blessed his body. "So, what is the matter with your visit, my lord?" She looked at Xie Zhao with turquoise eyes.
"About the heart-splitting case that happened in Shengjing in the last two months." Xie Zhao said as he looked at Shengge's expression. "All the people who have been stripped of their hearts have been to this dance studio before they died. In other words, all those who have been stripped of their hearts are those who love you the most. I don't know if you know? ”
"There are a lot of people who love me, is it Sheng Ge's fault that they died?" Sheng Ge looked at Xie Zhao, and there seemed to be a cluster of anger burning in his eyes.
"Definitely." Xie Zhao shook his head, as if it was not Shengge's fault again. "I just think it's all too much of a coincidence."
"Sheng Ge has nothing to say about this." Yu Bi Shengge no longer seems to look at Xie Zhao.
"Well." Xie Zhao looked at Sheng Ge, who was reluctant to talk to her anymore, and she stood up. Although there are not many clues, there are still discoveries. Thinking of this, Xie Zhao spoke. "Since you don't want to say more, then I'll take my leave." Smiling at Sheng Ge again, Xie Zhao's body turned into black mist and disappeared in front of Sheng Ge.
After Xie Zhao disappeared, Sheng Ge got up and sat on the bed in a bit of a distraction, and then hugged his arms tightly. Is it really like what the red-clothed demon just said? Did you do this boiling heart-wrenching case? Do you have me in your heart? Instead of being as cold and heartless as it looks. A gust of wind blew into the house and blew out the candles inside. The moonlight shone into the room, and it was the figure of Shengge shrunk into a ball.
After bidding farewell to Shengge, Xie Zhao was in a good mood humming the songs he had heard when he was a child, and shuttled through the noisy night market on West Street. She wandered from stall to stall, and if she encountered something she was interested in, she would throw out a piece of silver, and she didn't care what was wrong with her behavior. Then, inadvertently, she saw a man in white clothes and white hair sitting against the corner, as if waiting for someone. When he noticed that Xie Zhao noticed him, the man showed a warm smile.
"Long time no see."
"I don't want to see you at all." Walking up to the man, Xie Zhao sat on the chair that the man had prepared for her. "Ryugo." Xie Zhao called out the name of the white-clothed and white-haired man.
The people around him didn't seem to notice that the two people were sitting quietly facing each other.
"So, why are you here on purpose?" Xie Zhao looked at Ryuyue. "I don't think you're going to catch up with me for no reason."
Ryuyue didn't answer, but just handed the sign holder in his hand to Xie Zhao and motioned for Xie Zhao to draw lots.
Xie Zhao hesitated for a moment, then took the stick holder and shook it in his hand, and after a while, a stick fell. This is a bamboo skewer dyed black on the bottom of the stick.
Reaching out and picking up the bamboo skewers. He looked at the bamboo skewers dyed black at the bottom of the sign, and suddenly lowered his voice and asked a question that seemed inexplicable to Xie Zhao.
"Do you know what the nature of this world is?"
"I don't know, and I don't want to know."
"Hehe, it's you." Hearing Xie Zhao's words, Ryugoe smiled. "I remember asking you many years ago that this continent is decaying and twisted and about to fall, and the war never stops. In troubled times, how should you choose? ”
"Commanded by heaven and earth, he should wield a sword to guard the side." Xie Zhao gave her answer many years ago.
"So, what about your answer now," Ryugo asked the same question again as he had for many years.
Xie Zhao looked down at her hand holding the knife and slowly gave her answer. "My sword is still only for protection." It's just that this guardian is no longer the original guardian, which Xie Zhao and Ryuyue both know well.
"Even if he forgets the past?"
"Even if he forgets the past."
"Good, good, good." Ryuyue said three good things in a row. "If you remain obsessed with him, you will eventually lose your soul. Even with all these choices, do you really regret it? His eyes were dark, but with a certain light. He looked at Xie Zhao, as if expecting Xie Zhao's answer.
"I don't regret it." Xie Zhao's amber eyes burned with a flame called attachment. "If he is struggling in the red dust in this life, I will silently protect him and let him have no worries for the rest of his life, but he was taken to the ethereal mountain by the dust." Xie Zhao paused as he spoke, as if he was calming down. "We don't have an afterlife."
"There are very few people in this world who can ascend. Everyone in the world vainly tries to seek the way to immortality, but they don't know that once they embark on the long path of cultivation, there is no way back. When Ryu Yue said this, his face was full of mockery. But I don't know if I am mocking the way of heaven and cultivators, or mocking the world's yearning for immortality and cultivation.
"So, did you show up to tell me what happened to me?" Raising his chin slightly, Xie Zhao's eyes were an exploration of Ryu's intentions. She didn't believe that the Ryuyue in front of her would just talk about these old things and dissuade her obsession.
"You're still so straightforward." Ryugo looked up into the distance. "Oh my God, it's going to change."
Listening to Liuyue's words, Xie Zhao's face sank. "What?!"
"Not only is the sky in Shengjing going to change, but the sky in this continent is also going to change." His words seem to say that the end times are coming.
"How much longer?" Xie Zhao clenched her hands, her nails tightly buckled into the flesh, but she didn't notice it at all.
"I don't know, I just know it's close." The corners of Ryu's lips curled into a smile. "Maybe it's a long time, maybe it's tomorrow or even the day after tomorrow......" he said to the point. If you look into his eyes, you will see that there is no fear in his eyes, and there is even a faint expectation. He was longing for the end.
"I'm going to stop this from happening anyway."
"Why? Wouldn't it be good to end it all like that? Then the world returns to nothingness, and a new world begins again and again. Maybe you and I will be born as ordinary people in the new world. Ryuyue's voice was low and seemed to be bewitching, as if he was depicting a world without pain for Xie Zhao.
"I don't dare to ask for or want such an illusory future." As he spoke, Xie Zhao stood up. "I just want to live in the moment. Whether it's struggling or suffering. As long as I can hold what I want, I will feel that I have no regrets in my life. After speaking, Xie Zhao turned around and walked into the bustling crowd. Ryuyue was left alone to sit there.
Ryuyue was thoughtful at first, then he smiled, first lightly, then out loud.
"Hahaha......" Ryuyue rubbed the corners of his eyes and the tears that flowed from laughter, in vain I had comprehended the way of heaven to the point that I forgot to live in the moment. Xie Zhao, Xie Zhao, this is a favor I owe you. Ryukoshi, who was suddenly in a cheerful mood, also stood up. His state of mind went one step further.
Jingle bells, the sound of jingling bells came from afar, penetrating the bustling crowd and reaching Ryuyue's ears.
"You're here." When the owner of the bell approached Ryukoshi, he spoke.
"It's time to go home." Yu Fei, who was holding an oil-paper umbrella and dressed in blue, stood in the dimly lit place and looked at Liuyue, his eyes full of tenderness.
"Okay." Saying that, Ryuyue walked towards Yufei.
Passers-by walked by, only to feel a chill in their bodies for a moment, so they rubbed their arms and left. He didn't know that just now, he had passed through the body of a woman in blue with an umbrella.
