As soon as they opened their eyes, they arrived on the beach of Jiyan City, Xia Xuanshu was still waiting here, and the two of them had just arrived on the shore with cicada breath.

"Su Gongzi, Miss Yue, how are you?"

"Su Jue is injured, let's go back first. ”

Su Jue fainted soon after returning to the mountains, they found a doctor, and when he boiled the medicine, Yue Qianlong told Xia Xuanshu the whole story.

"In this world, there is no more Moon Spirit Grass?"

"Yes...... Oh, yes. ”

Xia Xuanshu sighed, his eyes looked sadly at Xia Cicada who had fallen asleep on the bed, so to speak, that person's life can't be changed from now on? He has worked hard for thousands of years, he has made up for it for so long, but it still doesn't help.

"Xia Shusheng, don't be discouraged, we still have seeds and hope. ”

"Well, I believe. ”

There is still hope...... It's a pity that he can't see it after all.

"Miss Yue, although we haven't known each other for a long time, can I ask the girl to help take care of the cicada?"

"Take care of the cicada's breath, isn't the cicada's breath you?"

"I'm afraid I won't be able to spend the next few days. ”

"It's not that you can't survive these days, but you can't survive tonight. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, they saw the man who appeared outside the door, a young man dressed in white, carrying a piano bag that did not match his fierce temperament. Because it was covered by the brim of his hat, Yue Qianlong couldn't see his appearance clearly, but his voice was low and powerful, and when he heard it, he was a person with high internal strength that was difficult to deal with.

"Who are you?"

The young man didn't answer, and said directly to Xia Xuanshu: "Should you and I fulfill my agreement?"

"Brother Qi, I've been ready for a long time. ”

"Then don't stay longer. ”

Yue Qianlong was confused, "What agreement?

"Miss Yue, the boat you and Su Gongzi took was built by this one. ”

"Didn't Su Jue say that your deceased friend did it?"

Xia Xuanshu shook his head, turned around and picked up the Dichen Sword from the shelf, the blood stains on the sword were almost gone.

"Can you wait? I think I'll say a few words to the cicada before leaving. ”

"No need. ”

"Brother Qi?"

"She was already angry just now, and it would be in vain for you to say anything. ”

"What?" Yue Qianlong slapped the case and said angrily: "You actually did it to the child, do you still have a little humanity?"

Xia Xuanshu's expression was faint, he stopped the person who was about to rush forward, and explained: "I have long known that these few days are the death of the cicada, and all this has nothing to do with Brother Qi. ”

"You...... You already knew?"

"It's just that in the next life, in the next life, in the days to come, no matter how difficult it is...... I will not be with the king anymore. ”

Looking at the tears left by this person, the man in white snorted coldly: "It's just the cause and effect, you actually succeeded back then, why bother acting now, it's disgusting." ”

"How do you talk?"

"Miss Yue," Xia Xuanshu interrupted her, "and ask the girl to help bury the cicada together." ”

Yue Qianlong sighed and had no choice but to respond.

Xia Xuanshu is familiar with his movements, and every item is meticulous and respectful. They also heard what Su Jue said, I am afraid that in the past thousands of years, Xia Xuanshu has collected the funeral of this person nearly a hundred times. Fortunately, the little cicada can die peacefully in her sleep in this life, and she doesn't have to wait until the oil runs out and the lamp dries up before she can close her eyes. It's just that I don't know where this person will devote himself to the next life, what identity and circumstances will he have?

At dawn, they had already set up the grave, and it looked like it was just a small earthen steamed bun, with no monument or word, so desolate. Yue Qianlong bowed three times, stayed for a short time and walked away, she understood that at this time, Xia Xuanshu should be quiet. The tomb is full of glutinous leaf cakes, and it is strange to say that no matter what life he is, the king always has a soft spot for this ordinary little dessert.

"The first time I went out of the palace to visit the night market, the king was full of praise for it, but unfortunately, nearly a thousand years later, I still can't make the king's favorite taste. ”

Speaking of this, the young man in white also stepped forward and said coldly, "I have something I want to ask you." ”

"Brother Qi, excuse me. ”

"Why did you betray Lin Heng back then?"

"You finally asked. ”

"I just can't figure out that if I decide to be loyal to someone, even if it is to destroy the world, I will help him achieve his wish. ”

Xia Xuanshu said while burning the paper money: "I was originally a fine work sent by another country, and I didn't have any good intentions. ”

"Are you a fine worker?"

"Becoming a king and defeating a king, vicissitudes of life, such as today, the country of blazing and my homeland no longer exist, I really don't understand, what is the meaning of everyone fighting openly and secretly for so many years. ”

"Since you are meticulous, you have done your duty, so you shouldn't do it like this and lose your life. ”

"Is it?Brother Qi thinks the same way?" Seeing the paper money in front of the grave burn out, Xia Xuanshu's expression changed slightly, "For the Lord of the Heavenly Blazing Kingdom, I really shouldn't and have nothing to feel guilty about, but for Lin Heng, I have to do this." He believed in me, understood me, and regarded me as a confidant, but I let his country break down and die, and finally ...... Even his soul was torn apart in the great sacrifice of mountains and rivers, and he was tortured forever, and I could not bear this sin. If I ruined his life, why can't I give him back my life?"

The man in white squatted down and burned some paper money together.

"What does the country do to you, since you have decided to be loyal to Lin Heng alone, you should not betray yourself, do you think that there is a way to have both worlds in this world? Even if you fall into ashes, it is your karma, and it is not the turn of others to sympathize. ”

"I know it's my sin, but the king ......," Xia Xuanshu grabbed the man's hand and pleaded, "His sin has long been cleared, and he doesn't deserve to suffer like this again." Now my time has come, but how should the king and himself behave in the world? He is the king of a country, and he is such a proud and proud man, and it is by no means Lin Heng's fate to live like this. ”

"I will do what I promised you, you can rest assured, I will not look at Lin Heng coldly, as for the matter of the Moon Spirit Grass, I will also try my best to do it. ”

"Brother Qi, thank you. ”

"You are already attached to the Gloom Sword, even if the blood stains disappear, if you enter the sword with your soul again, you will not be wiped out. ”

"Really?" Xia Xuanshu became excited, and his face showed a rare brilliance, "Brother Qi, do you really have a way to let me possess the spirit in the sword again?"

"I mean, I haven't tasted it, I'm not sure, after all, I've only seen this method in a book, and I don't know what the consequences will be. ”

"No matter what the consequences, I'm willing to try again!"

The man in white held his body as he was about to bow down, "You can't last a few days, come back with me now to open the furnace and forge a sword." ”

For more than 20 years, this man has been helping him build ships, and he comes to Jiyan City at this time every year. According to the man in white himself, he took a fancy to the Dichen Sword in Xia Xuanshu's hand.

According to the agreement, the man in white helps him build a ship every year, and after Xia Xuanshu's soul is gone, this Dichen sword, as well as the fragment of Longyuan that records the method of casting the sword in the sword, will be owned by the man in white.

More than 20 years have passed, and Xia Xuanshu feels more and more that this agreement and the Dichen Sword are just excuses made by the people in white, and the people in white want to help them but don't say anything. Over the years, I have come and gone, although the words are cold every time we meet, but in fact, they have become friends and have a little more affection.

"Go to the sword for the time being, if you don't stay in the mortal world, you may be able to delay for a few days, but don't wait for the day of the sword forging. ”

Xia Xuanshu nodded, and after saying goodbye to Yue Qianlong, he also turned into the Dichen Sword.

Yue Qianlong, who listened to Xia Xuanshu's inside story, didn't say much, so he had to divide two of the seeds of the Moon Spirit Grass to the man in white.

"Don't plant this kind of seed randomly, you must find a place full of aura, otherwise the little cicada will have no hope at all. ”

The man in white took it, didn't say a word, put it in his clothes and turned around and walked out the door, but he stopped when he reached the bamboo forest.

Li Ran appeared in the sword light, he wore a moon-white robe trimmed with black satin, and the silver thread was not all tied in the bun, but he twisted the sideburns and closed it with a silver hair tassel behind his head. This person's expression was indifferent, and his distinct facial features were as if they had been carved by ice and snow. He was also followed by a young man, this young man in white recognized his name as Meng Qingque, who was a young apprentice of Li Ran.

"Ready to go?"

"Rizen, how did you show up?"

Sensing the displeasure of the man in white, Li Ran smiled rarely, "I didn't come here to wait for the rabbit, I didn't expect you to really show up." ”

Meng Qingque looked at these two people, and he was completely confused, there are not many people in this world who can make Master care.

"Ah Yan, when will you be willing to go back with me?"

"Senior brother, I have already told this answer. ”

Senior Brother? Meng Qingque's brain exploded instantly, this person is called Master's 'Senior Brother'! So, this man in white is Qi Yan?

"Master, this ...... Is this Uncle Qi?"

"That's right, he is the Elder of Taihua Mountain, Qi Yan, and he is also the person with superb swordsmanship that you have always respected and wanted to meet. ”

"What, what?"

Meng Qingque couldn't believe it, he had been looking for Qi Yan for several years at the bottom of the mountain and had no news of him, but today he actually met a great real person! Speaking of which, Qi Yan is a legendary figure in Taihua Mountain, not only the swordsmanship is exquisite, but also the sword-casting technique is also the best in the world, he recognizes the second, no one dares to recognize the first. When Qi Yan was in the gate, he won the first place in every sword test competition, and it was all a quick battle, and even Li Ran couldn't fight with him, which was unique in the Taihua Gate. Therefore, Meng Qingque, who loves swordsmanship, has regarded Qi Yan as an idol since he was a child, and has always dreamed of having such attainments as him, dreaming of seeing real people for advice. It's been more than ten years since I started, but I still haven't been able to see this Uncle Qi.

"Uncle Qi, my name is Meng Qingque, and I am a disciple of Elder Zhilu, please ...... it."

"Senior brother, what does your disciple have to do with me? ”

Meng Qingque was stunned for a moment, it seems that this person is not very easy to get along with.

"Uncle Qi, my disciple has heard many legends of you since I was a child, and I have been looking for your traces when I went down the mountain in the past few years, just to ask Uncle Shi for some swordsmanship. ”

"Looking for me?" the man in white sneered: "Your master is an elder of the law, but you are bent on asking me about the sword, where is this happening?"

"Uncle Shi, I'm ......"

"Farewell. ”

Seeing that this person was leaving, Li Ran immediately blocked in front of him.
