Chapter 19: Sunset
It was a moonlit night obscured by dark clouds. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info because of the loss of the light of the moon, darkness shrouded the earth.
It was a dimly lit chamber filled with smoke at this time. A huge furnace is placed in the middle of the chamber.
Mo Li stared closely at the reaction in the Ding furnace, and in another quarter of an hour, a thread would be refined. When the time comes, she will be able to save her father. Her face was pale at the moment, and her lips were blue. Fingertips trembled. It seems to be because of excitement, and it seems to be because of pain. But she didn't care in the slightest. Her gaze, all her attention, was on the furnace. Just another quarter of an hour. She thought so. It was evident from her tightly crossed hands that she was nervous at this time.
Time passed little by little, and Mo Li couldn't help but walk around the secret room because of her nervousness, as if this would make her less restless. The fog around the furnace is getting thicker and thicker. The time for the formation of the first line is getting closer and closer.
Finally, the fire under the furnace was extinguished. Mo Li looked at the Ding Furnace, there was a certain hope in her eyes, she approached, standing in front of the Ding Furnace, she closed her eyes and took a deep breath. Opening her eyes again, she turned on the furnace. A white elixir with a faint glow was suspended in the middle of the Ding Furnace.
A thread is made.
Mo Li looked at the pill, and in her eyes was a smile that her wish was about to be fulfilled. She stretched out her hand and hooked her fingers at the thread in the furnace, and the thread flew towards her, suspended in the palm of her hand. Grasp the thread suspended above the palm of your hand, and then take out the porcelain bottle that has been prepared from your bosom and put it in.
Eun Gong, wait for me. Mo Li will go to you. Thinking of this, Mo Li smiled pale and weak. There was a strange glint in her eyes.
She clenched the vase in her hand and turned to leave the secret room, the one that had witnessed what she had done. After she left, she snapped her fingers, and the underground chamber instantly collapsed and filled with dirt.
With a muffled sound, calm returned to the western suburbs of Shengjing City.
Half an hour later, in a mansion in Shengjing.
"Eun Gong." Mo Li bit her lip and looked at the green-shirted man in front of her, her turquoise eyes were full of affection, her appearance was the same as Engong's sweetheart, but the green-shirted man in front of her was just drinking tea with his eyes closed.
"Mo Li. You...... I didn't have to ...... for me," the man in the green shirt paused, and he slowly opened his eyes. There was not the slightest anger in his eyes, and his dark eyes were like a pool of stagnant water. His face was pale and weary. This is a man who has been sick for a long time. "What's more, I'm ...... It's not worth your sacrifice. His voice was deep and magnetic. After saying this, a wry smile appeared on his face.
"All this, Mo Li is willing." Mo Li looked at the man in green shirt, she was a little excited, and her voice choked up because of this.
"Mo Li, I have already seen the matter of life and death. Whether the soul is scattered or reincarnated, I have lived and loved with a clear conscience in this life...... I...... No regrets. The man in the green shirt said this in a faint voice. Death was clear in his eyes.
"Eun Gong." Mo Li's eyes were red, and she wanted to say something, but she was waved by the man in green shirt not to say anything. She bit her lip and looked at the man in green shirt in front of her.
"You did the heart-gouging case."
Listening to the affirmative tone of the man in the green shirt, Mo Li couldn't help but widen his eyes. How did he know.
The man in green shirt looked at Mo Li's expression, and he knew he had guessed correctly.
"Then, it's you who refine the thread." Saying that, the man in green shirt couldn't help but cough a few times. Mo Li wanted to step forward, but stopped in his tracks.
The man in the green shirt, who had stopped coughing, spoke again. "Mo Li, do you know that I am a member of the Jingnanlou clan...... Ahem......"
It turned out that this sick and weak man in green shirts was Lou Xiyan.
Mo Li listened to Lou Xiyan's words, and his body took two steps back slightly. Although she has been practicing penance for many years, she has also heard of the case of Jingnan Knowle's extermination.
"My parents, the clansmen, all died because of this thread, I ......" Lou Xiyan didn't say the words later, but Mo Li understood, Lou Xiyan would not use this thread.
Mo Li covered her mouth, and tears couldn't help but slip from the corners of her eyes. What did she do?
"Mo Li, you go, get out of here and go back to where you should be. This dark sky in Shengjing will only make you lost. Lou Xiyan looked up at the sky and slowly spoke.
"Engong, I'm ......" Mo Li wiped her tears, but soon the tears flowed out of her eyes again.
Lou Xiyan smiled at Mo Li, which was different from the warm smile of the scholar in the green shirt in the past, but a hearty smile that belonged to the martial artist.
"Engong, since that's the case, then...... Mo Li left. Saying that, Mo Li turned around, and a white dress flew in the air with the master's turn. Step by step, she left. The back is a little thin.
She couldn't go back. The last heart of the thread is a heart of prayer. Pray that heaven and earth will change color and reverse yin and yang. In a few days, she will disappear from this world. But that's fine. From then on, she didn't have to do a long period of penance, nor did she have to endure the pain of heart-eating lovesickness.
Her figure faded away. Until finally disappeared from Lou Xiyan's sight.
Lou Xiyan watched Mo Li's figure disappear, and he let out a long sigh. The sound of the little scholar listening to the wind came to my ears. "Childe. The second son woke up. ”
"Yes. Let's go over and see. With that, he stood up and walked into the courtyard.
After Lou Xiyan left, a woman in blue holding an umbrella and a man in white and white hair slowly appeared in the courtyard.
"What will happen to Mo Li?" Yu Fei asked Ryukyue beside him softly.
"After a few days, the soul is gone." After a pause, as if he was afraid of the rain beside him, he spoke again. "Compared with forgetting Lou Xiyan in the long years to come, or because of the growing demons in her obsession, such an ending may be the best for her."
Suddenly, there were voices of conversation and footsteps outside the courtyard, and someone was walking by. A gust of wind blew, blowing a rain of leaves. The figures of Ryuyue and Yufei who appeared in the courtyard disappeared. It's like they've never been here.
Lou Luan had a dream, and the dream was a battlefield full of wolf smoke and corpses. In his dreams, he had been guarding the city with a woman in armor. In the dream they guarded the city for a long, long time. But then the city was broken. Together with the woman, he rushed into the enemy army. All around are the malicious smiles of the enemy soldiers. And of their thousands of brothers, only two of them remained.
"Murong, see you in the next life." The voice of the woman leaning back to him was a little hoarse.
"Well, see you in the next life......" he couldn't hear the name anyway. Then he died in the dream. When he opened his eyes, Lou Luan saw a dark blue soft gauze tent above his head. Rubbing his head that hurt a little, the cheers of the little scholar listening to the wind were in his ears.
After his consciousness gradually returned to his consciousness, Lou Luan saw Lou Xiyan walk in.
"Brother."
"You're awake, Luan." After speaking, Lou Xiyan coughed violently.
Helping Lou Xiyan, who was coughing heartbreakingly, to sit down, Lou Luan subconsciously prepared to pass on the cultivation to Lou Xiyan. But Lou Xiyan broke away from Lou Luan's hand. "Luan, don't waste any more cultivation. I already know that my limit is near. Come with me somewhere tonight, that's my last concern. ”
"Okay." After being silent for a long time, Lou Luan spoke.
After dark.
Lou Luan followed Lou Xiyan to this dance studio on Flower Street in the west of the city again. This time, he followed Lou Xiyan to sit in the wing room on the second floor.
Looking at the sheng songs dancing on the stage, Lou Xiyan spoke.
"In my life, since I was eight years old, our Jingnanlou clan was wiped out, and I have been practicing martial arts diligently until I was eighteen years old, and then at the age of eighteen, my martial arts became a little small, and I began to take revenge, to the quagmire of revenge, unable to extricate myself, and being ignited in the soul, I have never regretted it. Whether my soul is scattered, or I suffer the pain of devouring my heart, I am to blame. But except for her. Lou Xiyan's gaze at Sheng Ge was complex and difficult to understand. I have never regretted all the things I have done in my life, but I feel guilty except for her. Saying that, Lou Xiyan looked at the sheng song in the audience and slowly closed her eyes.
Lou Luan just listened to Lou Xiyan quietly. "I once promised to take revenge and take her to see the snow in Mobei, the lake in Jingnan, the peaks in Dongyuan, and accompany her back to the foreign land. But I missed my appointment...... She waited for me there for a long time, I kept watching her, but she never showed up, I thought she was going to leave. didn't expect Zai Shengjing to see her again. ”
Saying that, Lou Xiyan opened his eyes again. "She's willing to stay here just to find me. But I can't see her. I knew my time was running out. Being with her is just a drag on her. She shouldn't be with someone like me who has no future at all. The blue sky and endless desert of the foreign land were where she should be. After speaking, Lou Xiyan coughed violently again.
After stopping his cough, his voice began to become flat. "Luan, after I die, let her leave this ...... It's good to go anywhere. Get out of here......" He looked at Lou Luan with a pleading look in his eyes.
"Okay." Lou Luan looked at Lou Xiyan, he did not refuse Lou Xiyan's request.
"Great, so I have no regrets." Saying that, Lou Xiyan's voice became softer and softer, until finally it was faintly inaudible. His hand slammed down. The last thing he looked at was Shengge downstairs.
"Brother." Lou Luan looked at Lou Xiyan, his voice choked. Then he saw Lou Xiyan's body turn into a turquoise butterfly and fly to the stage dancing sheng song.
The blue butterflies flew around the sheng song, dancing with the sheng song, until the end of the dance, the blue butterflies scattered a little fluorescent around the sheng song.
Sheng Ge stretched out his hand in a distracted way to touch the little fluorescent, and the light fell on his fingers, bringing a warm but sad feeling. Unable to resist putting her hand on her cheek, she found herself crying.
Lou Xiyan, is that you? This blue butterfly and fluorescent.
suddenly recalled what Lou Xiyan had said to her in her mind. "In my hometown, there is a mirror lake, and there are a lot of fireflies every summer. Flying back on the lake. I'll take you to see it when I get back, okay? ”
"Okay."
Although it's not the mirror lake in Jingnan now, I can see this firefly.
