——Yancheng on the spring equinox is overflowing with the largest piece of greenery in the four seasons.

But the twenty-year-old Jing Ke and Gao Yuanli did not enjoy the most beautiful greenery in Yancheng in spring, but went to the suburbs alone. Of course, the opinion was put forward by indulging in music and yearning for freedom, Jing Ke couldn't stand his persuasion, so he traveled with him.

Gao Yuanli impressed Jing Ke with an incomparably sacred rhetorical question - "The world is so big, don't you want to see it?" ”

Therefore, the two walked out of the thousands of miles together and came to the Julu Canyon in the border city of Qinchu. Walking into the outer area of Julu Canyon, Gao Yanli and Jing Ke felt a seldom infected-by forest air wafting from afar, which was extremely refreshing.

At this time, the two of them were in a very comfortable mood, and they were about to step into the dangerous Julu Canyon, which had a little desolate atmosphere and no real desolate place, but at the entrance of the Julu Canyon, Gao Yanli and Jing Ke stopped unnaturally.

Whether it was Gao Yuanli, who had a deep understanding of the magic blue, or Jing Ke, who was keenly conscious, they all clearly felt that there was a strange magic blue aura wafting on the outer edge of the mountain wall of the Julu Canyon.

In fact, at such a distance, not to mention that the aura cannot be hidden, ordinary people may not be able to transmit such a far away even if they release the magic blue aura with all their might...... Therefore, the owner of this demonic blue aura seems to be deliberately pulling them.

Thinking like this, Jing Ke and Gao gradually separated from each other and came to a cave on the wall of Julu Canyon that was naturally covered by countless plants and trees. After a little hesitation, the two walked in, with extreme caution.

However, when they entered the cave, they were surprised by what they saw—in the deep cave, a silver-haired boy was sitting in the void, holding a heavy ancient parchment book in both hands, reading intently.

Only...... Just a teenager four or five years younger than them? Obviously, Gao Yuanli and Jing Ke were a little surprised by the scene in front of them. It was at this moment that the boy spoke up.

"Hello." The boy looked up and smiled at the two. "Hello." Jing Ke replied softly, and then asked, "Little brother, were you releasing the Demon Blue Energy to pull us just now?" If so, what are you looking for from us? Jing Ke's tone was very light, but her heartstrings were tense, and she always maintained a high degree of caution in her heart, although the other party was just a teenager, but her natural assassin-like coldness told her that any carelessness could lead to death.

"No, I didn't release the magic blue. It's just that the teacher told me to be kind to others, and I found that you were not hostile, so I didn't deliberately restrain the magic blue to avoid you. The young man looked at Jing Ke and Gao and said.

"Wait...... Are you saying that if you don't release the magic blue, your own magic blue aura can overflow that far away? Gao asked suddenly. Well, yes. The boy responded kindly, without concealment. At this moment, both Jing Ke and Gao Yuanli couldn't help but be shocked, especially Gao Yuanli, the shock in his heart was even more indescribable - in fact, when people don't deliberately control it, the spontaneous overflow of the magic blue breath can intuitively reflect the degree of comprehension of the magic blue energy of the person, but the magic blue breath of Gao Yuanli can't spontaneously overflow so far, and Gao Yuanli is known as the magic wizard in the family who has not been encountered for thousands of years!

"What's your name, friend?" Now Gao gradually looked at the young man in front of him and only felt that he was looking at a monster, he was still younger than himself, and the overflow of the magic blue aura was so far away! What an exaggerated talent it must be!

"This ...... Can't say. I'm sorry. "The boy smiled" I feel that now is not the time for us to make friends, so it is not the time to tell you my name. The boy replied quietly. Occasion? Make a friend or talk about timing? Gao was amazed, and now he was extremely curious about the young man in front of him, as if every word he said had a special meaning, especially at his current age...... It just looks weird.

"Well, everything has a time, that's what the teacher said." The boy said. "Damn! How can there be so many opportunities, life must have uninhibited casualness...... Who is your teacher? Teach you these things......" Gao Yanli frowned, and then before the young man could speak, he continued helplessly, "Needless to say, the identity of your teacher must not be said...... Occasion......! ”

The boy didn't speak, just smiled. For the young man in front of him, Gao Yuanli only felt speechless, and then extremely curious. "And what are you doing in this cave? Is it just reading? What kind of book is this? "Extremely curious, Gao gradually left the boy and threw several questions at the young man." Well, this is the Ancient Book of Words, a book of prophecy, and I'm interpreting it...... Then whenever I hit a bottleneck in deciphering the text, I would come to this cave and think deeply – like now. In the face of Gao Yuanli's series of tortures, the young man still explained word by word.

"Prophecy? So powerful! I'll take a look," said Gao Yanli and approached the young man's side, and looked at the undisciplined and mysterious words on the ancient book in the young man's hand, and couldn't help but be surprised, "This ...... What is this! Can you understand this? ”

"Hmm...... It's not that you understand, it's that you understand, and if you understand it, you will naturally be able to understand it......" The young man thought for a while and said.

“…… That...... Is this a prophetic spirit? Gao asked again with a frown. Prophecy, there is no spirit, only dare to face ......" The young man faced this kind of vague answer, Gao Yanli only felt speechless for a while, and now he looked at the young man in front of him and only felt that it was very ethereal when he looked horizontally and vertically...... In the end, Gao could only come to a concise conclusion: "Well, what a weirdo." ”

"Can you show me?" Jing Ke, who had been standing silently on the side, suddenly spoke, and after a conversation between Gao and the young man, the caution in her heart was much lighter.

The boy nodded and spread out the ancient book in his hand. Jing Ke took a few steps closer, and naturally stretched out her right hand to catch the corner of the book, but just as she touched the page of the ancient book with her hand, the young man holding the book on the other side suddenly changed his expression, and after an instant, he returned to calm, as if the quiet sea was waving a layer of fleeting waves without warning. However, Gao Yanli and Jing Ke both noticed the surprise of the young man's moment, and unconsciously became cautious again. "It seems that it is fate to meet the two here." The young man suddenly smiled and said this inexplicable sentence, and then said politely to the two, "Thank you two, the bottleneck of interpreting ancient books has been opened now." "Huh?" Hearing the young man's words, both of them were shocked. "Just now, when this sister touched the ancient book, the bottleneck I encountered in cracking the ancient book suddenly opened." The boy explained, "It seems that this prophecy is related to the two of you. Hearing the young man's next words, the two were even more shocked.

"What prophecy? Our future? Can you say that? Gao Yanli immediately asked impatiently. This one...... This prophecy cannot be explained in words...... You can only feel it. The boy said slowly. But we don't feel like you either. How do you feel about it? Jing Ke asked sharply, apparently she was also full of this so-called prophecy, "Then Ah Ke, you can feel it!" Gao Yanli said heartily, after so many years, of course, he is no longer the crybaby he once was.

"Okay." Jing Ke didn't say anything, and stretched out his hand to the young man. Then, the young man spread out the ancient book of words and spirits in his hand again, let Jing Ke lay his hand on the page, and he also touched the page, and then, the young man closed his eyes, and the deep sea-like sense suddenly extended out and transmitted to Jing Ke's consciousness. Suddenly, Jing Ke only felt that his consciousness suddenly became ethereal, and all the scenes in front of him became ethereal, so that Jing Ke also subconsciously closed his eyes, and the prophecy in the ancient book was spreading out in the form of a picture in the depths of his consciousness............ Just a few minutes later, Jing Ke opened his eyes, and there was a trace of transparent tears in his eyes, at this moment, Jing Ke's whole mood seemed to have changed dramatically, but it seemed that nothing had changed...... "Ah Ke, what did you see, tell me quickly!" Gao gradually left the sidelines and saw that Jing Ke's mood had changed, so he was more concerned about the content of the prophecy. Jing Ke raised his eyes and stared at the young man's eyes, as if to ask if he could tell the prophecy......

The young man nodded and said, "You have seen the content of the prophecy, whether you say it or not is not up to me or the ancient book to influence, it is all up to your heart." Hearing the young man's words, Jing Ke was quiet, quieter than before...... In fact, she really wanted the boy to tell them that the secret of heaven should not be revealed...... Instead, Jing Ke thought for a while and said, "I'...... I saw two roses admiring each other, comforting each other with their fragrance...... They're together. "Huh? And then......" Gao asked suspiciously. And then ...... There is a natural disaster...... One rose died, but the other survived. Jing Ke hesitated and said slowly. Oh......" Gao's expression dimmed slightly. Without saying a word, Jing Ke and Gao gradually left the boy and left the cave, of course, he was not in the mood to go to Julu Canyon, so he returned to Yancheng the same way.

There was nothing to say all the way, and neither of them knew how to speak...... It wasn't until a long time later that Gao Yuanli suddenly said with a smile. "Oops...... Actually, it's not bad, the rose is a good match with us...... Because we are very good-looking! This is obviously a humorous sentence, but Jing Ke didn't laugh, and ...... Gao Wanli's smile was also so reluctant...... "Little Gao ......" Jing Ke suddenly stopped and looked at Gao Wanli with a serious face, "Let's make an agreement!" "What if...... If we encounter a great, great calamity in the future...... Someone will die...... Then whoever dies, the other of us must survive...... We have to have one survive...... It's like those two roses, okay? ”

Gao Yanli looked at Jing Ke's ink-colored pupils, and said very seriously: "Okay, we agreed that one person must survive......" However, Gao Yanli had already made a deep decision in his heart...... If that catastrophe was inevitable, then he must let Jing Ke survive. The eyes of the two looked deeply at each other at this moment, and everything around them seemed to become illusory and ethereal. The sense of distance gradually disappeared in this ethereal, until the two of them couldn't feel anything, except for the snow on each other's lips, water droplets and ice, and the cold would sweep the entire Yancheng, but people were not afraid of the cold, because Yancheng at this time was a white capital covered with ice and snow, which was incomparable beauty.

But this year is different, the cold seeps into people's hearts, and they are no longer in the mood to appreciate the beauty of the snow city, but the cold does not come from the snow and ice, but from the war – from the fear of death. The sound of the piano is not afraid of frost and frost, fluttering in this ice and snow, and Jing Ke is not afraid of the cold, sitting on the top of the building covered with snow, listening to this music played only for her.

"After this winter, it's a new year...... Bai Qi's army is about to attack Yancheng...... Say, "Can we keep the city?" Twenty-seven-year-old Jing Ke stared at this world covered in ice and snow, feeling that it was so fragile, so innocent...... It's like the people of the world who were born in the wrong era. "......I don't know," Gao said in a low voice, but his fingers kept playing An Ran's music.

"That'...... This war can be regarded as a catastrophe......" Jing Ke lowered his head and said softly. Gao Yanli didn't reply, just played the piano music. "Kodaka...... Do you remember our agreement? Jing Ke suddenly raised his head and looked at Gao Yuanli's eyes, and said seriously. Gao gradually left his fingers, the sound of the piano stopped, and then he also stared at Jing Ke and said, "I remember...... We've got to have one of us survive! Jing Ke didn't speak again, but snuggled into Gao Yuanli's arms tiredly. They stopped talking about this, and no one pursued the question of who died and who lived, because they knew each other, and each wanted the other to be the surviving rose, so they each realized that they were going to be the dead rose. The rest, left to fate.

——The memories of the past were like a heavy wave gently swinging over the two of them, Jing Ke took off the mask on his face, endured the pain of countless scars, and got up from the pool of blood, Gao gradually retreated from the frost on his body, and he slowly stood up from the ground. At this time, Ying Zheng had already fallen from the void, standing not far from Jing Ke and Gao Yan, looking at the two of them expressionlessly, and the faint pupils of the dragon seemed to symbolize the cruelty of fate. And the red ghost warrior Miyamoto appeared beside Yingzheng, silently staring at the two people struggling on the ground, still holding a long knife and a short sword in his hands, his footsteps were slightly loud, and he walked unhurriedly towards the two who had been injured.

Of course, Jing Ke and Gao Yanli both saw the crisis in front of them, but they were both unusually calm - it was now, the so-called catastrophe. They thought that the war in Yancheng was their end, but they didn't expect the people of the two families to save them as hope. Got out of the war in Yancheng like this, although he was humiliated and guilty, and even painful, there was still a little bit of happiness in Gao Gradual, at least, he and Jing Ke survived, and they were still together...... But in the end, at Jing Ke's suggestion, they still risked their lives to sneak into Xianyang Palace and assassinate Yingzheng...... But in the end, they stepped into the catastrophe of life and death.

But Jing Ke doesn't regret it, she doesn't regret it, although she knows that killing Yingzheng is not her mission and insists on moving forward, but she has never forgotten her true mission...... Perhaps, this is indeed fate. Whether it is Jing Ke or Gao Yuanli, it is very clear...... Now, it's time for the "promise".

Gao Yanli stared coldly at the ghost warrior who was approaching step by step, gently stroked the strings with his hand, the string sound of the demon path throbbed faintly, he did not forget their agreement for a moment, he wanted Jing Ke to survive. However, at this moment, Jing Ke's weak body turned into a ray of dark red light, dissipating out of thin air, and almost at the same moment, a blood-stained Jing Ke appeared behind Ying Zheng.
