The delicate and warm candlelight is like the warm sun in early spring, illuminating the face of the future, and a pair of silent starry eyes are slightly bright, and they begin to have some vitality. The Sanskrit sound in the ears is long, the sound is slow, just like the song of a bird jumping over the branches, which seems to be able to make people feel calm and slowly forget all kinds of troubles in the world.

Hiding vague questions, he lifted his heavy body as heavy as mud and looked around. The long-hanging candle tears flowed quietly on the palace lamp on the floor, and the raging flames illuminated the mottled and shadowy wall mirrors on all sides.

On the scroll, Pangu stands on the chaotic earth with one hand against the sky, Nuwa waives her whip and dances in the air, and Shennong's twilight snow cane goes straight into the mountains to taste the herbs...... This has been interpreted over the years. Just one glance makes it easy to fall into all kinds of memories.

Accompanied by the twists and turns of the sandalwood, the red stamen twigs are dotted in several places on the wall mirror, and the interior is even more light and fragrant. Everything around is bathed in a rich haze, and for a time it becomes a still life picture.

Jiang Li rubbed his temples, the two cold eyebrows were already intertwined at this moment, for a moment, he didn't seem to remember anything, but the image of being hit by the black armor guard with a palm on the glazed tile was churning in his mind, somehow, this matter seemed to have passed for many years, it was like a brand left there, eating a thin layer of dust.

But when he looked up at himself in the wall mirror, the eight wall mirrors reflected the stars around him, including his long figure, and everything was so real. He, still the same him, whether it is the face of the eighteen years or the black corset he wore before the operation, it has not changed.

When I was incomprehensible, a familiar figure suddenly appeared in the wall mirror, the long azure cloak hung from the neck to the feet, the whole long body was hidden in the cloak, and the lonely figure was a little blurry, only the thick edelweiss around the neck was the most eye-catching.

I was a little confused, and I didn't know whether the person was walking out of the mirror or behind the mirror, and when he came back to his senses, the person had already stepped on the candlelight behind him and walked slowly.

"Ah Li, you're finally here." In the whisper, there is a mixture of desolation after a thousand sails and the joy of reunion after the catastrophe.

His heart trembled, and these words echoed on many heartstrings, and when he heard the words, he turned his intestines around, and turned to look at Qi Qiran, the melancholy between his eyebrows was like a thin layer of smoke, and the cold eyebrows and the side face of the knife were sharpened...... Look at him, as if looking at yourself.

Listening to it with his own ears and seeing it with his own eyes, he never dared to believe that the person in front of him was his ninth brother general.

"Ah Li, what's wrong with you? Aren't you happy to see Brother Jiu? You know, I've been waiting for you here, for ten years, for ten years......"

Gently stretched out a hand to touch it, and the white robe of Xue Jing was exposed, and he was obsessed with it for ten years, and the loneliness in his tone was even more evident.

Standing in place from the cold, the whole thin body was a little tilted. Is the person in front of you really Brother Jiu? The scene in front of him has never only appeared in his dreams that are as cold as water at night, but now, is it a dream? Still is......

When he raised his eyes, Brother Jiu's eyes were full of determination.

Jiang Li Weiwei stretched out his hand to carefully test it, and saw that the fingertips of the two were about to touch, but he immediately retracted it, and his confused eyes had nowhere to put it.

"No, you're not the ninth brother, the real ninth brother has long been, long since ......"

The truth, he has never been willing to say, let alone the person in front of him...... Emotions can't help but be confused and ethereal to fill the heart.

The death of Brother Jiu was him

The miss of a lifetime is also the regret of half his life.

The punishment knife in the bloody rain in front of the god general and those words that dare not speak...... It shook his countless nerves. The blood in the whole body suddenly rushed to the heart, and when he coughed slightly, the whole heart was like a knife.

A cough alarmed the two hearts, and hurriedly asked about the situation but to no avail, Jiang Bei immediately took off the cloak on his body, walked to the side, and clinged to it, "Before leaving, how did Brother Jiu tell you, every time you leave home to do a task, remember to take care of yourself, don't hurt your body because of carelessness, what?" You don't listen to Brother Jiu's words, and you don't believe it? Skillfully tied the knot, habitually patted his chest, and then said with a smile: "I haven't seen you for a long time, but my body is much stronger." ”

The distance between the close bodies, the low eyebrows and a shallow smile, the long-lost breath connected the heart, which seemed to wake up the past. Jiang Li remembers that when he was a child, in countless cold and biting nights, Brother Jiu was like now, tightening his cloak for him. He also remembered that the knots made by Brother Jiu were different from others, and this kind of knot was extremely strong, difficult to untie and difficult to untie, which was created by Brother Jiu himself. At that time, he was eager to learn, pestering Brother Jiu to teach him how to fight, and at first Brother Jiu was reluctant to tell him the method, unless he learned how to crack the method of the scimitar and was able to block the three moves.

So, he followed Brother Jiu day and night to learn how to crack the scimitar, and when he finished learning, who knew that Brother Jiu had set other conditions, saying that he wanted to learn another way to crack other weapons before he was willing to teach ...... With once, there will be a second time, and again and again, and in this way, he has learned all kinds of skills, and over time, he can crack eighteen kinds of weapons, and the matter of learning how to tie knots has been forgotten again and again. In the nostalgia for Brother Jiu again and again, this incident was remembered again. Only then, he never had the opportunity to learn again.

Now, the familiar knot appeared in his eyes again, Jiang Li was already teary-eyed, excitedly grabbed Brother Jiu's hand, and asked in surprise: "Brother Jiu, is it really you?" But how are you here? ”

"Of course I'm Brother Jiu, Brother Jiu won't lie to Ah Li," Jiang Bei smiled and put his hand on Jiang Li's hand and patted it gently, as if he was soothing a child. "Everyone thought I was dead, but the real me was trapped in the Futu Palace in Lissan, and I never left it for ten years."

Brother Jiu's words stunned Jiangli, those bloody storms that he dreamed back countless times in the middle of the night turned out to be fake? I didn't know whether I was worried or happy for a while, and I shook my head: "Ah Li doesn't understand!" Why is Brother Jiu trapped here? Since the ninth brother is not dead, why don't you go back to Nanjing, don't go back to the god general! ”

"It's a long story, but it's related to my father's death, and I'm staying here to find out the cause of my father's death." Don't reply with great solemnity.

"Father? Didn't my father die in an accident because of an operation? Jiang Li didn't understand what Brother Jiu said more and more, and looking at that originally familiar face, it was a little weird at the moment. At the mention of his father, his heartbeat suddenly accelerated, and his hands gradually detached from the palms of the ninth brother.

Seeing that Jiang Li's face was full of panic, Jiang Bei swallowed lightly, and said after a while: "At that time, you were still young, and it was inconvenient to tell you many things, but now that you have grown up, there are some things that you should know." In short, you have to remember what Brother Jiu said, our father did not die in an accident. And, from now on, you have to be extra careful of the people of the gods and the people of God, and be careful of your loved ones! ”

Unable to bear the sadness in his words, he turned his back and shook his head helplessly, and the palace lamp on the ground illuminated his long figure in a particularly depressed manner.

Brother Jiu's words are like Sanskrit sounds that have been lingering in his ears, making people unpredictable and unable to guess the reason, and he will only feel like a step in the road.

Suddenly, the Sanskrit sound changed its tune, and there seemed to be countless monks in the ears who were knocking on the wooden fish urgently, and they were also reciting a long list of Buddhist verses in their mouths, and the sound came from all directions, making people dizzy to hear. Jiang Li suddenly stumbled, the scene in front of him began to become very blurred, the light gradually dimmed, the light and shadow also distorted into the appearance of ghosts, and the scenery reflected in the eight dim wall mirrors fell into a huge vortex, gradually converging into a point, and finally blurred.

And the figure of the ninth brother gradually became very abstract, the Sanskrit sound was so noisy that his whole head almost exploded, in a hurry, he kept calling the ninth brother, but his voice was swallowed up by the growing Sanskrit sound little by little, and finally, the white color in his eyes also disappeared with his quietly closed eyes, little by little.

The frenzy continued, and Jiang Li couldn't hold it anymore, and his body, which had lost its center of gravity, slowly slipped and fell to the ground along the wall mirror. From that moment on, his world went dark.

"Nine Brothers"

After struggling for a while, surprisingly, the Sanskrit sound suddenly stopped. The air was so solemn that even the slightest sound seemed to be audible.

Jiang Li suddenly woke up from a trance, and suddenly there was a faint sound of footsteps in his ears, his lowered eyes began to open, and a pair of black boots slowly came into view from far and near, and at the same time, two powerful knife lights completely awakened his sluggish nerves.

No longer hesitating, Jiang Li raised his round eyes, and saw that the black armor guard was holding a knife in both hands, his eyes were like torches, and the two sword eyebrows were facing each other, which was completely different from his previous expression. At this time, the true face of the black armor guard was finally revealed.

"Is that you? You're all up there! "The bewildered color surrounded this small mirror room, Ninth Brother, Black Armor Guard, what is going on? Half-asleep and half-awake, a pair of surprised eyes locked on the unreal face.

The black armor guard took another step forward with his knife in his eyes, "How did Jiangbei die?" ”

was first overshadowed by the black armor guard's question, and then he was amazed, how could this person know the name of the ninth brother?

"Who the hell are you?"

"How the hell did he die?"

The overwhelming flames seemed to be burning behind the Black Armor Guard, and he was biting other deaths to death. Not long ago, although the black armor guard was covering his mask, his eyebrows were faintly elegant, and it was hard to imagine that the black armor guard after tearing off the mask was actually such a hideous appearance.

At a distance of hand, the breath of the black armor guard swallowing the sky was surging on Jiang Li's face, and in the face of this threatening scene, he would have been fighting from the beginning, but the deep pupils of the black armor guard seemed to be able to devour people's hearts at this time.

Jiang Li's expression began to stiffen, and the other party rose with an extremely terrifying momentum, this was the first time in his life. The panic from the shadows of ten years ago rose in his heart. At the age of eight, he begged his mother Mrs. Qiu Shu to spare the life of the ninth brother in front of the heavy rain god general Simen, who knew that the sentence "I have to die for intercession for my siblings" forced him to tears, and finally watched the ninth brother being hacked to death by Mrs. Qiu Shu, and the long stream of blood and cold rain flowed from the high steps to his young heart, which left him an unforgettable nightmare mark.

The death of the ninth brother was like that nightmare, which entangled him to death for countless nights, and today he turned into a black armor guard and appeared in front of Jiang Li. Jiang Li completely lost his temper this time, and he had a strong urge to retreat and dodge.

Then, he let out a low roar, desperately trying to get out of these chaotic thoughts, but the black guard was already close.

"Is that you? It was you who killed Jiangbei, it was you who killed your ninth brother! ”

"Who the hell are you!"
