Chapter Twenty-Four: The Covenant of Quicksand
In the long night, the dense dotted stars bloomed with cold brilliance, sprinkled among the mountains and forests.
In the depths of the night, the silence was shattered by the sound of footsteps.
A figure slowly approached from behind Bai Feng, and it seemed that the destination was where Bai Feng was.
The person who came was dressed in a pink palace skirt and gauze, like a lotus flower swaying in the dark blue night.
Her face is more beautiful than the lotus, delicate and pure, and she also has a noble and elegant temperament.
Bai Feng heard her footsteps, but didn't look back.
He knelt in a daze, his eyes never leaving Langyu's face, letting the tears flow and dry.
No matter who this person is, he doesn't care anymore.
Behind him, the girl wrapped in pink gauze also saw the scene under the tree.
She gasped slightly, surprise and vague sadness appeared on her face: "Get jade?!" ”
Bai Feng seemed to wake up from a dream, turned his head slightly, and asked, "Do you know her?" ”
When the girl saw his appearance, she asked a little puzzled, "How could it be you?" How did you end up with her? ”
There was also a hint of caution in her words. She naturally knew Bai Feng's identity, Ji Wuye's eagle dog.
Bai Feng took a closer look and knew who she was. She is the beloved daughter of the king of Korea today, the happiest and most difficult girl in South Korea - Princess Honglian.
Her father has always been under Ji Wuye's control, and her brother Han Fei and her friends want to change the situation.
- And so is she.
Bai Feng figured this out, his expression turned cold, and he asked in a cold voice, "You sent her to assassinate Ji Wuye?" ”
Honglian's expression was a little gloomy, but she said leisurely in an indifferent tone: "Ji Wuye is still alive, but she is already dead. Do you think this question still makes sense? ”
Bai Feng is her enemy, in her heart, Bai Feng's identity has always been Ji Wuye's killer, and there is no need to say more.
Bai Feng stood up, he felt that he should be able to do something next.
Red Lotus continued to say indifferently: "That's right, everything she did was arranged by me. ”
She looked down at Lang Yu's calm face, and added, "It's her choice." ”
Bai Feng's heart was confused again, this was the second time he had heard the same words.
This is the choice of making jade.
Langyu's heart is free, but why did she choose her fate like this, like a moth to the fire of the General's Mansion?
A girl who takes the piano as her companion shouldn't give the beauty and enlightenment in her life to the piano sound, and why does she choose the assassination that is entangled with coldness and hatred to determine the value of her life?
What exactly is she hating? What do you want to get rid of?
What tragic past does she not know, and what are the inevitable vicissitudes of this chaotic world?
Does she have a deep hatred for Ji Wuye? Is she doing this for herself, or is she involuntarily for others?
What kind of relationship is there between her and Princess Red Lotus?
There may be answers to these questions. But at present, Bai Feng is the most unrelieved question: "But she told me that there is an antidote, why did she lie to me?!" ”
Bai Feng said, clenching his fists in pain.
He didn't understand, since Lang Yu knew that he couldn't survive, why did he trick him to leave?
He had no reason to leave in the first place, he thought that he should stay, stay with the crows, and fight side by side.
Now, Mo Crow and Lang Yu have fallen one after another, life and death are uncertain, but he has been abandoned here inexplicably, Bai Feng is confused, he can't find the meaning of continuing to live.
is also a girl, and there is a red lotus hiding a person in her heart, and a sad color suddenly appeared on Yu's face.
Between her and Lang Yu, they know each other very well, and Lang Yu, who is lonely in her heart, even did it for her, and she naturally easily guessed Lang Yu's thoughts.
She looked at Bai Feng and said faintly: "Why did she lie to you, maybe you ...... Never understand. ”
As she spoke, she lowered her head and hid her expression.
Hearing this, Bai Feng's expression gradually changed.
His heart had just been hit by the double blow of despair and deception, and he was confused.
Now, despair and confusion had turned into hatred, and his heart was suddenly overflowing with hatred.
Bai Feng thought that he had found the culprit who had to go to the General's Mansion to send him to death, and he wanted to kill this hateful person in order to sacrifice Langyu's spirit in the sky.
Little by little, he turned around, and in the light of the icy moonlight, he looked cold and fragile and fragile.
He clenched his teeth and said hatefully, "You killed her!" ”
Bai Feng slowly raised his head and stared at the red lotus, his eyes burning with raging fire.
Honglian still stood quietly in place, looking at him with a flat face.
Bai Feng's eyes were like knives, and he pounced on the red lotus.
Red Lotus didn't move at all, sneering softly, she didn't seem to see Bai Feng's move, or ignored it.
Bai Feng didn't pounce in front of her.
Without warning, a person appeared from behind the red lotus, and stretched out one hand.
His neck literally met the man's hand by itself. The exclamation was choked in the throat by the man, and his feet were off the ground, and he was forced by the man to choke his neck and lift him up!
Bai Feng raised his hand and grabbed the man's wrist tightly, struggling in mid-air. Now he is like a falcon in the hands of Ji Wuye, life and death are involuntary.
His neck ached sharply, but he was sane. The man didn't want to kill him, he just wanted to calm him down.
Bai Feng struggled and saw clearly the person holding his neck.
It was him, the man in the pair of men and women in black who appeared at the critical juncture of the General's Mansion, Bai Feng could feel it.
His nocturnal costume has been changed, with short silver-white hair, a proud and cold expression, and a trace of vicissitudes of life on his face that is as immature and handsome as himself, and under the momentum of the mountain is a look that no one can really see through.
Wei Zhuang, naturally it's him.
He has always protected the safety of Princess Red Lotus, and with his presence, no one in the world can harm her.
Wei Zhuang went straight here with the purple girl after leaving the General's Mansion, and met Princess Honglian, who also came to answer and investigate the situation, on the way.
Bai Feng looked at Wei Zhuang with painful eyes.
Wei Zhuang also looked at Bai Feng coldly. His arms were stretched out, firmly fixed in the air.
Behind Wei Zhuang came another person, a mysterious woman in purple.
Bai Feng recognized her, the Purple Girl, the owner of Zilanxuan in the Land of Wind and Moon.
The purple girl's expression was also as cold and powerful as Wei Zhuang's, and there was a strange purple vein on her snow-white face, like a symbol that no one knew.
The purple girl looked at Bai Feng sideways, her eyes twinked slightly, and she said in an indifferent tone: "Bai Feng?" Zhuang, let him go, let's see how Langyu's injuries are first. ”
Wei Zhuang opened his mouth to Bai Feng expressionlessly, and his voice was as cold as a cold knife: "The person who killed her is none other than yourself!" ”
Bai Feng's heart beat violently, and he struggled to defend himself, "You...... Nonsense! ”
Wei Zhuang let go of his hand.
Bai Feng fell to the ground, gasping, coughing, and slowly sat up.
He looked up, and the three people opposite him also looked down at him.
Wei Zhuang stared at Bai Feng, who was immersed in pain, looking at his face, and said word by word:
"Because of you, not strong enough!"
Bai Feng was stunned and motionless.
Not strong enough? Indeed, his strength is still too weak. If he was strong enough, stronger than Ji Wuye, maybe everything would change, and he wouldn't be able to do anything about watching Mo Crow and Rong Yu fall......
The purple girl, who does not eat the fireworks of the world, bypassed the stunned Bai Feng at this moment, walked under the tree, and stood beside Lang Yu.
She leaned down, stretched out her jade hand to check Rongyu's injury, looked back at Wei Zhuang and said faintly: "Ji Wuye's attack was really heavy, and the two punches broke Rongyu's internal organs, damaged her heart, and almost lost her life. But your so-called poison worked so well that it took her back half her life. ”
"What did you say, he gave the poison?" After coming back to his senses, Bai Feng, who was still in a trance, just heard the words of the purple girl, looked at the purple girl in disbelief and asked.
"That's right, it was the poison I gave, and when I saw the blood sealing my throat, it seems that the effect is good, and it also saved half of Yu's life." Wei Zhuang said indifferently.
"Langyu is still alive, really?" This time Bai Feng understood, and his gray eyes became excited.
"Half dead, only one breath left." The purple girl who returned to Wei Zhuang's side sighed.
Hearing such an answer, the flame of hope in Bai Feng's eyes dimmed again.
Wei Zhuang looked up at the sky, and then said, "I know how to save the Jade and the Ink Crow, but I need an agreement from you. ”
"What agreement?" Hearing that there was a way to save the jade and the ink crow, Bai Feng asked impatiently.
Lang Yu and Mo Crow can give their lives for him, and he can naturally do it. He felt that there was nothing more precious in this world than life, and he would agree to any agreement.
"There is no bird in the world that can fly all the time, it never needs to land, and the quicksand is the nest where you stop and rest. If one day, you are fast enough to be faster than the sword in my hand, you can choose to leave. ”
"Good!" As soon as Wei Zhuang spit out the words, Bai Feng agreed without hesitation.
"Have you really decided? Although I am really optimistic about you, you have the potential to become the king of the sky, but if you yearn for unfettered freedom, I can't give it to you, quicksand can't give it to you, and there can't be a so-called free world without constraints in the world. ”
"I made a decision myself, and I can't regret it. I need to grow independently, and I don't want to hide under other people's wings anymore. This feeling of suffocating powerlessness, I don't want to try it a second time. Bai Feng raised his head, which had been low, looked directly at Wei Zhuang's indifferent face, and said with great firmness.
"Remember what you said, quicksand doesn't need waste." Wei Zhuang looked up at the sky and replied in a cold tone.
Behind them, the sky was full of stars, and the night was long.
The long nightclub between heaven and earth passes, and the long night of life has to come out on your own.
Hatred can sustain a person's life, but it can never make a person fly.
Bai Feng completed this transformation, only missing the last triggering power, and the quicksand was the flame that helped him achieve Phoenix Nirvana.
