Chapter 29: The Soul of the Promise
The purple kite "chuckled" in her heart, took two steps back, and fell into the crook of Mo Siyou's arm.
Mo Siyou obviously also saw the uninvited guest standing at the door, and the cold aura that came out of his bones made him immediately understand that this was not a human being, but a dead soul wandering in the world.
Mo Siyu has lived next to this tree for so many years, but he has never discovered the existence of this ghost.
"Who are you?" Although he almost had an answer in his heart, he still asked.
The ghost sneered, and said with some disdain, "Didn't you call me out, don't you know who I am?
As he spoke, he suddenly stepped forward and swept away the jade pendant in the purple kite's hand.
"Where did you come from?"
His throat tightened slightly, and the words he uttered were urgent, making his voice tremble slightly.
Purple Kite pursed her lips and said stiffly, "The Holy Aunt Lotus Heart of the Wa God Temple, let me take this jade pendant to find someone who has agreed with her, you...... Is that the man?"
The ghost's eyes were red, which made his pale face look even more terrifying, but when he looked closely, his facial features were well-defined, and he also had a very elegant temperament.
"Lotus Heart ......"
He muttered with a tone of remembrance, and his misty eyes seemed to be looking at the picture of the past.
The water is in turmoil, the blue light of the island in the middle of the lake is sheng, the evil aura of the Wa God Temple is spreading, fear is full of all living beings, Nalan Jue is in the bamboo forest, and he is also not spared.
It was Lianxin who carried him all the way, supported his injured body with his palm, and sent him to the other side of the river.
Across the shallow bay, they used this piece of mutton fat and white jade, and they agreed with each other.
"I'll come to you when I get the water, and I'll wait for me under the old tree in the Green Grass Villa."
He still remembered the last time he looked at her, the moment when the wind was blowing in her jet-black hair, her fair face was hidden in the black hair, it was not real, but it was such a faint glance.
"Five hundred years ago, I thought that no matter what I did in this life, there would be a day of goodbye....... She's ...... now. Are you okay?" Nalan Jue asked tremblingly, although he already had the answer in his heart, he still struggled to admit it.
The purple kite took a deep breath, her eyes brightened, and she asked rhetorically, "Do you think she is such a heartless person in your heart?"
If Nalan Jue really thinks so, then Lianxin's five hundred years of waiting is not a big joke, but Purple Kite doesn't want to see Nalan Jue's expression, she would even rather treat him as a person of affection, than to see two people who love each other, but they can't stay together for the rest of their lives.
Five hundred years, she knew what it meant to wait......
"I'd rather she didn't come to see me because she missed the appointment.I'd rather wait for five hundred years is just my wishful thinking.I'd rather.She takes the responsibility of being a holy aunt more than me.Maybe that's it.she'll be fine.she'll live well.Enjoy her life for thousands of years.She ......" Nalan Jue's grief is as obvious as the waves crashing on the shore.
The yin qi flowing through his body also made the wind blow longer and more gloomy, and it slammed on the window, making the window that was not closed swaying back and forth, making a creaking sound.
Nalan Jue's empty voice was in the creaking back and forth, hitting the purple kite's heart word by word.
"So what." She followed his words and asked rhetorically.Her clothes were blown up by the wind.But she looked more like a ghost in the world than Nalan Jue.Her face was still full of terror.Now there was only an extremely calm expression left.After she said this, she frowned and looked at Nalan Jue.As if the sad expression on his face was tickling the scar in her heart.
Nalan Jue looked at the purple kite inexplicably.Her question made him feel puzzled.He wanted Lianxin to live.Isn't that right?
"I was the one who caused her, she deserved a better life, she shouldn't have met me, she shouldn't have ...... Fall in love with me." He looked straight into the purple kite's gaze, and then looked away, into the corner of nothingness.
"If that's the case, without you, without the part you experienced, even if she lives for another thousand years, what's the point? It's just living like a walking corpse, every day's joys, sorrows, and sorrows, only you will understand, until one day, you will forget your existence, only that one person, like a cinnabar picked out by the tip of a needle, remembering your existence, isn't this the meaning of our life?"
The purple kite's tail note is a little more lamental, but more determined.
She thought of her own day-to-day watch for thousands of years, to Lianxin and Nalan Jue, at least they could be sure that they loved each other, and she was just an obsession of one person. Wait for me to come back".
But a thousand years ago, if I hadn't met him, if I hadn't asked, if I hadn't had that silver-haired lonely man, how would she have spent these countless days and nights.
Come to think of it, Lianxin has never regretted it, because she met him, it is an epiphany blooming in her long life, although it is short, but it is a glimpse, and it is a warm life.
"The meaning of life......" Nalan Jue muttered in distraction.
"There's nothing wrong with two people falling in love with each other, it's just that fate is always so tricky." Mo Si said in a deep voice, with a glow in his eyes.
Purple Kite looked up at him, unconsciously grabbed his hand, she didn't know why he suddenly felt such a feeling.
Mo Siyu lowered his eyes and looked at Purple Kite, shook his head, signaled not to think too much, he wrapped her cold little hand with his warm big palm with his backhand, and held it tightly.
Even if there is a lot of providence in this world, he will always hold her hand.
Nalan Jue's pale face glowed with a cold light, and she looked at them with a faint gaze, and said, "How can you understand that everything I have suffered is self-inflicted, but Lianxin is innocent, she should have killed me when I stole the water spirit bead...... If、If I hadn't been so self-righteous at the beginning.Match Xian'er into the palace as a concubine.Xian'er wouldn't have died.I wouldn't have to break into the Wa God Temple.I wouldn't have ...... Lianxin."
His expression became more and more intense with self-reproach, like a flower blooming in the dark, exhausted its life, and bloomed to the point of fiasco.
"Xian'er." Mo Si's eyebrows were raised, it was just Nalan Jue's babbling words, but he suddenly remembered that Luoxue was drunk and muttered, and he kept saying that it was the woman called "Xian'er", and Xue Ji once said that Luoxue's Xian'er was surnamed Nalan, and she was also a young lady five hundred years ago......
"Nalan Xian'er." He tried to ask like this, which caused Nalan Jue's eyes to froze.
"You know Xian'er." Nalan Jue asked with some vigilance, and it was not difficult to hear from Mo Siyou's tone that he seemed to know the name, not just a random guess.
"Nalan Xian'er." The purple kite also looked at Mo Siyou in confusion, and it took a while to react. She didn't know much about the falling snow, and the things about Xian'er were also something that Mo Siyu said intermittently during the day. Could it be that fairy?"
Nalan Jue said in a deep voice: "I didn't expect that five hundred years have passed.There are still people in these three famous families who remember the name 'Nalan Xian'er'. Hahaha...... Xian'er ......"
He laughed and grieved, as if he were completely caught in his own world.
"You are indeed the descendant of the Nalan family five hundred years ago." Mo Siyou interrupted Nalan Jue's self-talk, the two men glanced at each other, there was a smell of gunsmoke, Mo Siyou's eyes were indeed a little unkind, staring at Nalan Jue, and said in a sullen voice: "You let your sister enter the palace and become the imperial concubine, but she was unbearable and committed suicide ......."
Mo Siyou's voice didn't fall, but he heard Nalan Jue roar in a low voice: "How do you know this."
"In order to cling to the magnates, the Nalan family added the daughter of the clan to the Heavenly Family, and this matter was passed down as a 'good story' five hundred years ago. Mo Siyou's eyes provoked a touch of contempt.
"Bullshit." Nalan Jue clenched his hands into fists and sharply refuted Mo Siyou's words.
After a pause, Nalan Jue didn't seem to be able ......to stand Mo Siyou's mocking look, or he already had a feeling of grievance in his heart that wanted to pour out, so he said in a hurry: "Back then, I arranged for Xian'er to enter the palace because she was haunted by monsters.
"In this way, the imperial city under the protection of the True Dragon Heavenly Son will be isolated from the entanglement of monsters." The purple kite actually took the words, but in her eyes, there was obviously a look of sudden realization but not quite willing to believe herself. She turned to look at Mo Siyou, and asked hesitantly, "That monster is Luoxue, right?"
Mo Siyou's eyes darkened.The answer was obvious.There was no need for him to say anything more.In his mind, he remembered what Xue Ji said.
Xian'er was summoned into the palace by the holy decree, but refused to submit to the emperor.The emperor who was lustful and wanted to take Xian'er's innocence forcibly took Xian'er's innocent body......
Ten years ago, when Xue Ji told this story to Mo Siyou, Mo Siyou didn't understand what kind of infatuation and despair it contained.
