Chapter 15: If You Can Let Go
Suddenly woke up, it was still dark and dark, I looked around, only to see the ghost Ji lying quietly on the couch, but there were tear stains on her face, tears wet her hair, into the quilt, is this your pain your sin?
I know, you have no intention of hurting the iris, it's been a thousand years, isn't it time to let yourself go?
Suddenly, there was movement in front of the hall, I pricked up my ears, the person who came seemed to have not concealed his figure, I got up vigilantly, looked at the ghost Ji who was still frowning in her sleep, sighed slightly, and cast a spell around her, temporarily protecting her, but my slight cultivation... I just hope that the people who come are not malicious.
I got up quietly and walked out, the ghost fire outside the hall was swaying, the shadows of the trees were swaying in the breeze, and on the cloister, there was a figure standing, with his hands behind him, standing tall but slightly thin, his hair was like snow and was even paler under the light of the ghost fire.
I approached him, I can't say what kind of emotions I should have, because I have experienced it myself, my mood is no longer as pure as I hated at the beginning, after all, it is not his fault, how can I indiscriminately anger him because of the pain of the ghost queen, who can say clearly about the involvement between them?
"You're back. ”
As if I had known each other for a long time, I went up to say hello.
"Hmm. He nodded, turned to look at me, his eyes were light, and the corners of his mouth were slightly hooked with a kind smile, which was completely different from Yin Shu in his dream, less sharp and mean.
"Will you still go?"
"Not anymore. ”
He looked up at the dark sky, and only a ray of moonlight seeped through the cracked barrier, and that soft light illuminated a space in the underworld.
His words were warm, his expression was gentle, and he no longer had the indifference he had forced at the beginning to experience a hundred lifetimes of reincarnation just for revenge, and he tasted the warmth and coldness of the world, so he really let it go...
"Is she okay?"
He asked softly.
I nodded, shook my head again, and looked up at him: "Is she okay, do you care?"
Still with a hint of anger, after all, watching the ghost Ji suffer for a thousand years, I can't be indifferent, and I'm a little annoyed when I say it, what's going on with this Xingshi's tone of asking about sin?
"Hehe... I care. He chuckled, and that unabashed tone made me think I was being too cautious.
"She didn't mean it back then! She never thought of breaking you up, and if Iris hadn't rushed up at that time, she wouldn't have done anything to her!"
"I know. ”
"You know?"
I wondered, when did I know, and if I knew, then why did I do it?
"I was really angry at the time, but then... If you think about it clearly, you know, Linlang... Diji, how could a person she was so proud of put down her identity to embarrass a mortal?"
"Then why do you want to go into reincarnation?"
Hearing this, he smiled with relief, "In order to punish myself, if I hadn't been too jealous at that time and my words were indifferent, Emperor Linlang would not have been angry, and finally... caused the tragic death of Iris, in fact, I am the one who should atone for my sins, and I am the one who killed Iris. ”
"Wait... Wait, why didn't I understand?"
"Hehe... You don't understand, at first, even I was blinded, and when I really do, it's too late. He smiled at me, and then looked in the direction where the ghost was asleep: "Time flies so fast, a thousand years, it should be over, I let myself go, you should also let go." ”
With that, he left... Leaving me to stand there in ignorance, am I dreaming again? Dream?
I touched my nose and frowned and walked back, why are all the weirdos I've met lately?
Back in the inner hall, Onihime sat on the couch, and I stepped forward: "Are you awake?"
She looked up, but it was a tearful face, still smiling, and looking compassionate.
"What's wrong? Nightmares?"
I was still immersed in her dreams, and I couldn't help but feel sad.
"That's how it is... Ha ha... That's how it was..."
Onihime suddenly cried and laughed, crazy and depressed.
"What's wrong?
"He said he was jealous, he was jealous? haha... It's ridiculous, Ty, he said it was because of jealousy..."
"Well, yes, he said jealousy. ”
But I don't understand, jealous... What is jealousy, and why is he the one who should atone for his sins?
"He likes me, he likes me... He likes me. There were tear stains on Onihime's thin face, and her teeth were clenched against her lower lip, suppressing her emotions.
Hearing this, I covered my mouth in surprise, this... The story reversed so suddenly that I couldn't react for a while.
How could Yin Shu like Ghost Ji? Isn't it impossible to hide?
"Onihime..."
"But he actually said that he would let it go, and he would let it go for a thousand years, and he was atoning for his sins, so what about me? He said let it go, and he let it go, what should I do? I can't let it go... What should I do?
Onihime burst into tears, a little more hysterical than in her dreams, and after Yin Shu said that to her, she collapsed... She would rather Yin Shu hate her, a thousand years of persistence, a thousand years of waiting, a word of letting go negates everything about her, between them... Not even the last trace of involvement.
Na... Onihime, what are you going to do?
I was speechless, but tears flowed down my eyes, for her powerlessness, for her loss, for her overwhelmed.
"It's ridiculous... Ha ha... So what am I? What am I in his heart? Isn't it ridiculous to think I'm ridiculous?"
The thin body seems to be blown down by a gust of wind, how can it still look like Emperor Fenghua back then?
"Ghost Ji, love is so tired, don't love anymore, three thousand years, it's enough, why torture yourself again?"
"yes... Three thousand years, what am I doing?" Ghost Ji sneered, looking at the flickering candle flame, and her eyes also had a bit of a ghostly light: "I thought I was the emperor, my status was noble, and I could do anything, until there was a human woman beside him, I realized that I was ridiculous, and then I told myself that I should let go, but as a result, I still couldn't let go, I thought he was ruthless to me, but he said that he was jealous... Isn't that ridiculous? I'd rather he never had a heart for me!"
I think I probably get it... Yin Shu was also interested in Linlang back then, but because of her usual proud temperament and uninhibited words and deeds, there was a misunderstanding, and what happened later.
I stroked her hair, but I didn't know how to comfort her, Yin Shu originally liked her, I didn't expect it, and because of this, it would be even more pathetic.
Now that thousands of years have passed, the slightest thought in Yin Shu's heart has been consumed by reincarnation, but the ghost queen is getting deeper and deeper...
