In Luoyang at night, there is a dead silence under the school field, which is in stark contrast to the lights of thousands of homes in the city.

The epidemic virus broke out early this morning, and in one day, it swept through most of Luoyang City, and there were more than 100,000 people in this city.

From the night of Luoyang, you can hear bursts of coughing.

It's like Luoyang has a chilling eerie touch in the night.

It's just that the epidemic poison does not harm lives, and before Shen Qiu and Ren Hao thought that this was a generational battle between the Ten Thousand Poisons and the King of Medicine, which involved Luoyang in an unwarranted disaster.

But now, a large army of the Northern Dynasties is crossing the Yellow River a hundred miles away.

That was the elite of the Northern Dynasty stationed in Shanxi, which was supposed to respond to the land of Qilu, but after the Qilu offensive was frustrated, it has been stopped in Shanxi.

Now it has crossed thousands of miles and come to Luoyang, Central Plains.

From Changzhi and Linfen to the north, including Taiyuan, this was originally the territory of the Northern Dynasties, and this army moved very fast, and the Southern Dynasties were defenseless.

If it weren't for the fact that Director Dao lost the opening battle of the Heroes Club, ran out with a group of friends to relax, and ran all the way to the north of the Yellow River, I am afraid that this army would be discovered by Luoyang after crossing the Yellow River at night.

In Luoyang tonight, the high-level officials couldn't sleep and urgently discussed the situation.

Ordinary people can't sleep, the epidemic is too fierce, although there is a Li family pharmacy to provide free decoction, but it is difficult to sleep to take care of the sick at home.

Luoyang sleepless.

In the school field of the Heluo Gang General Altar, the Jianghu guests infected by the epidemic have all taken a decoction with a certain stench and have fallen asleep, which is in stark contrast to the liveliness of the day.

It's deadly still.

At the edge, under the barn, there was a dilapidated table of eight immortals, and a few long stools, which should have been for the knights of the Heroes Club to sit on.

"Is this a trick?"

Liu Zhuoran sat on the stool, looking at Xiuhe with a hat behind Shen Lan, his skills were exhausted, but his vision was still there.

Seeing Xiuhe again, Liu Zhuoran was also quite uneasy in his heart.

He did not forget the scene where he made Ling Xujian pierce Xiuhe's heart on the night he was in Suzhou, and even, in the past few days, Liu Zhuoran would dream of that night's miss every time he fell asleep.

When he was extremely disappointed at that time, he even had a feeling that maybe it was because he accidentally killed Xiuhe that there was a later disaster.

After all, when he first received the Ling Xuan Sword from his master, he had made an oath.

Under the sword of Ling Xu, he does not cut the good.

Perhaps, Xiuhe is not good, after all, he was born in the Five Elements Sect, and he must have blood on his hands.

But Liu Zhuoran just couldn't let go.

Compared with the other righteous or evil, treacherous and evil Jianghu who died under his sword, Xiuhe was as kind as a little white rabbit, and he still died to save people.

His oath, on that day, was broken after all.

Perhaps, when the master expelled him from the master's door, he said that his Dao heart was in turmoil, and he was talking about this knot in his heart.

"Yes, Xiuhe was made into a machine man."

Shen Lan had an oil-paper umbrella in her hand, and in front of her was a white porcelain wine glass, with a little wine.

The enchantress with a changed heart spoke calmly, and she said:

"This is the remains of a bad man, and in the eyes of ordinary people, it is a deed of all evil. The sword monarch is holding a long sword, I'm afraid that he wants to draw his sword and fight, behead the concubine, the demon girl, and subdue the demon to eliminate the demon? ”

Liu Zhuoran did not answer.

There was still a hint of sarcasm in Shen Lan's tone.

In her eyes, Liu Zhuoran is a hypocrite full of big words.

"You and Xiuhe are like sisters, I don't think you have to desecrate her corpse, probably because you have incomprehensible feelings, so you took her with you."

Liu Zhuoran picked up the wine gourd and took a sip of spicy wine.

He said:

"Besides, how am I your opponent now?"

When he said this, he had a smile on his face, which was captured by Shen Lan, who had been watching him, and there was a hint of helplessness in that smile.

But there isn't a lot of sorrow.

He seems to have really resigned himself to his fate.

But the question is, are people like him really willing to accept their fate?

"Sword Monarch has also seen the hardships of mortals such as me now."

Shen Lan looked at the courtyard where the coughing sound was made, and she said:

"Birth, old age, sickness and death, life and death, these things that the Sword Monarch would not see or think about in the past, now you have also experienced it, you know that the people of my generation in the rivers and lakes have the difficulty of surviving.

Jianjun, do you still think that what the concubine did in Suzhou that day was a demonic act? ”

"Of course!"

The wine gourd in Liu Zhuoran's hand stopped, he looked at Shen Lan, and there was no trace of entanglement in his gray eyes.

He said:

"For your own selfishness and the lives of others, you saved yourself, but who can save the lives of innocent people who died in the city of Suzhou?

Humanity is difficult to live and raise, and people are helpless and entangled in their lives, and they cannot be liberated, just like this, those innocent people who are still working hard have lost so many souls because of you.

This is not an evil act, and what is it? ”

Facing his questioning, Shen Lan pursed her lips and had nothing to say.

But just when Shen Lan was disappointed, Liu Zhuoran took another sip of wine and sighed.

"It's just that I can be considered to realize it now, in fact, I also did a little bit of inaction on that day."

"Huh?"

Shen Lan looked at Liu Zhuoran in surprise.

The latter, with his eyes slightly closed, stretched out his fingers, flicked on the table, and with a certain familiar rhythm, he chanted softly:

"I hate wandering at the end of the world, and my birth is unknown."

"The second hates the red face and the thin life, and the caged bird is difficult to fly."

"The three hatreds of the world are hot and cold, who can help?"

"The four hated the wicked are not virtuous, and they are broken."

"The innocence of the five hatreds has passed away, where can I find it?"

"The six hatreds are incomplete, so the friends are sad."

"Seven hatreds of heaven are unfair, black and white."

"This hatred is unbearable, this heart is unbearable, this body is incomplete, ask the sky, when will the miserable and miserable end? When will the warbler swallow dance..."

Jian Jun's voice is not good.

The strange poison used by Shen Lan made his skills useless, his body was also destroyed, and his vocal cords were affected a little, and he was no longer as warm as before, always a little hoarse.

Not like the voice of a young man his age.

But the sound is not the point.

The point is that the lyrics and songs he recited made Shen Lan's eyes stunned.

This song was written for herself when she was in Suzhou, except for occasionally singing it herself, she has never sung it in front of any outsiders, where did you hear this Liu Zhuoran?

"I actually arrived in Suzhou very early."

Liu Zhuoran shook the wine gourd and said to Shen Lan:

"That night, downstairs in the smoke and rain, I also heard you sing this song, and I had doubts in my heart at that time, what kind of humiliation did you encounter, and your resentment was so big?

But at that time, I held myself as a person outside the world, and I didn't go into the mortal world, so I didn't go deeper, let alone follow this grievance to try to resolve the assistance, so I let you plan the matter of Suzhou like that.

As a result, everything that followed was born. ”

He poured the last sip of wine into his mouth, closed his eyes, and said to Shen Lan:

"If on that day, when I hear these words, I will go and inquire of you.

If you are trapped in Suzhou and are unable to extricate yourself, I can help you.

Things don't get to the end either.

Those innocent people don't have to die in the war. ”

Liu Zhuoran shook his head, he held the sword in his arms, leaned on the edge of the table and chair, closed his eyes, and said to Shen Lan:

"Whether I hate you or not, whether I resent you or not, it doesn't matter anymore. The dispersion of those innocent souls is also due to my inaction.

How can this matter be blamed on you alone?

Ants, still spare their lives.

So, let's go, Shen Lan, there are no more grievances between you and me. ”

In Shen Lan's heart, the Pure Heart Gu implanted by his wife suddenly twitched violently, making Shen Lan's face flush for a while.

Gujing's waveless state of mind is like dripping into waves for a moment, and it is difficult to maintain.

She took a deep breath and tried to suppress the swaying and shaking in her heart. actually took those blood-stained dirty things, those innocent justices, and those responsibilities on him.

Isn't this person crazy?

"The concubine came to you tonight, not just to talk about grievances."

Shen Lan endured the pain in her heart, changed the topic, and said to Liu Zhuoran:

"In the past two days, the eyeliner of the Five Elements Gate and the Seven Peerless Gates in Luoyang City has been cleared, but if the concubine is not bad, when the Northern Dynasty army besieges Luoyang, the master of the concubine will also come to join in the fun.

Sword Monarch, you used the Ling Xuan Sword to break his cultivation, took away the first place on the land list, made him lose face, and was seriously injured, almost dying.

With the evil temperament, as long as you come to Luoyang, he will not let you go! ”

Shen Lan had a veil on her face, and she couldn't see her expression clearly, so she replied:

"Of course, he won't let me go."

"You want me to be bait?"

Liu Zhuoran still didn't open his eyes, he pondered for a moment and said:

"Yes. But are you sure that under the first battle, the real demons such as Qu Xie will be completely left in Luoyang? ”

"The concubine has contacted Lu Guizang."

Shen Lan said:

"He is willing to help, and the concubine also knows that in this Luoyang City, there is a person from the Xianmen who is familiar with Jianjun, and the concubine and him are also friends, if the young man can come to help.

There are seven points of certainty in this matter. ”

"I'll talk to him."

Holding his sword and leaning on the bench, Liu Zhuoran said:

"When I was in Suzhou, I held my own rules and precepts, the so-called Penglai rules, I could have taken the life of the evil man, but I had to spare his life. Now I don't know how many innocent women have died because of me, and it is a point of inaction.

Those innocents... It's all my sins. ”

His tone was low, and he said:

"Since there is a chance to get justice for the innocent, I will cooperate with you."

"But you're going to die!"

Shen Lan's tone also changed, and she said:

"Even if it is done and Qu Xie is really dead, with his means and your current kung fu, it is basically impossible for you to survive. You are no longer from the Xianmen, and now you can't even beat the second-rate Jianghu people...

Even so, do you still have to take risks? ”

"This has nothing to do with being able to fight but not being able to fight."

Liu Zhuoran yawned, the wine was surging, he was already slightly drunk, he waved his hand happily, and said:

"For my Dao heart, uh, the people of the rivers and lakes call this 'martial arts', for these fateful attachments, for those who are ignored, but I want justice back.

For the innocent lives of those whom I have never seen, but who died because of me. I've fallen so far, and I've seen the red dust, so why don't I regret this? ”

Shen Lan nodded.

She stood up expressionlessly and left with Xiuhe, behind Liu Zhuoran really seemed to be drunk and asleep, and she didn't get up to say goodbye, and after crossing a few alleys, Shen Lan's figure flashed and fell to the ground.

She covered her heart, and a heart-piercing pain came from her heart.

"Use the Pure Heart Gu to make your mind clear and no longer led by external objects, but if your mood is broken, you will suffer the pain of a thousand cuts."

The words of the lady when she gave her a clear heart Gu that day echoed in Shen Lan's heart.

Tonight, she actually broke her state of mind because of Liu Zhuoran's words, but fortunately, in the past few months, the toxins of the dragon finger have been almost cleared.

Otherwise, this night's change would be enough for Shen Lan to react with poisonous gas, causing her to be seriously injured and even put her life in danger.

"Poof"

She leaned against the wall, covered her heart, spurted blood stains, and blood stasis spurted out, which made Shen Lan's body feel a little better, but the mouth was bitter, and her heart was also bitter.

She really hadn't seen it, someone avoided the mud and didn't leave, and she had to dye herself with cause and effect.

"Give."

A laughing voice sounded beside her.

Wearing an affectionate gown, Hua Qing, who was holding a fan, smiled and handed the handkerchief to the embarrassed Shen Lan.

This elusive fairy boy stood aside, as if admiring Shen Lan's down-and-out figure, and he said meaningfully:

"Now you know, right? Lan'er, Liu Zhuoran is not a hypocrite, you used to think badly of him. ”

"So what?"

Shen Lan wiped her mouth with a handkerchief, and she said:

"You men, it's just nice to say, I want to see if he can still look down on life and death so much when he really encounters Qu Xie!"

"I think he could."

Hua Qing put away the folding fan, and he said to Shen Lan in front of him:

"Lan'er, this time I helped you collect the demon of Qu Xie, but you also have to promise me one thing.

I'll bet on both! ”

He said:

"If Liu Zhuoran is really a real gentleman in the world, as I said, and can survive this ambush, then you will lose.

I don't want you to do anything for me, I just want you to give one of your own things to Liu Zhuoran!

You ruined him with hatred.

Now that the grievances have been cleared, I want you to turn him back into that amazing and talented, but now he has a touch of humanity Penglai Sword King! ”

"What shall I do to save him?"

Shen Lan sneered and said to Hua Qing:

"There is no cure for the strange poison, the meridians and acupuncture points around his body have been abolished, what the medicine king and ghost doctors can't do, how can I do it?"

"Of course you can."

Hua Qing narrowed her eyes, like an old cat, looking Shen Lan's figure up and down, and he said softly:

"Qu Xie wants your body to be innocent, to help him break through the heavenly list and enter the innate list, your body is quite valuable.

If I kill Qu Xie, I don't want anything else...

You and the sword monarch who was miserable by you will be a loving couple in the world, and with the innate spirit in your body, you will cultivate orthodox yin and yang to help him reshape the root bone meridians, and he will be reborn from then on. ”

He glanced at the blood stasis that Shen Lan had just vomited, and said meaningfully:

"Anyway, your mood has been broken, and your heart is already moving, so I will push the boat down the river and point a mandarin duck spectrum, which is all about the two of you who are rolling in the red dust and cannot be liberated.

Luckily? ”

This request made Shen Lan silent for a while.

She didn't say good or bad, but looked at Hua Qing and asked:

"Why do you have to let Liu Zhuoran recover? I think it's good for him to be like that, and he will live a peaceful life in the future. ”

"He is at peace, and there is no peace in this world."

Hua Qing opened the folding fan with a sigh and said to Shen Lan:

"What I'm going to do, you don't understand and you can't guess. You just need to know that Liu Zhuoran must recover, and without his help, this thing will be difficult to do. ”
