Chapter 261: A flute sound, farewell my concubine
The moment the Divine Wing Greatsword passed through his heart, he didn't hesitate in his heart.
After all, death has been pushed to the last line, and even if he doesn't, he will be swallowed up and annihilated by the light of chaos. If you go here, you will die, you can use the sword to cut your own life, and at least you can express his attitude to Yingzheng and Candle Dragon, to the providence in the dark.
This is his choice, he would rather die than rebel against the will of heaven.
But when the sword really pierced the heart, the resolute body became weak, the hot blood gradually cooled, and all the will and faith went to death with the passage of life, he still remembered something in his sinking heart.
In fact, fate is at a desperate end, and nothing matters. In the thirty-six years of this life, all the troubles, all the responsibilities, all the glory, all the affection, all went with the wind, just like his body that was annihilated by the light of chaos at this moment, all of them drifted away like a shadow of sand little by little.
But there was a thought that had been stored in the depths of his heart for a long time, and even if it was gone, it would still not be let go, until the moment of death, it still echoed in his mind with great heat and longing.
He wanted to meet that person...... The woman who has been guarding the ancient land for the past three years, playing the flute for him in the border city...... He really wanted to see her with his own eyes......
The woman he has never met so far has become an important existence in his life, which haunts him and makes him miss him deeply.
Once had a decisive battle with Bai Qi in Lingcheng, and when he almost fell to his death in the thousand-meter void, it was because of his thoughts about this woman that Xiang Yu reversed his mind at the last moment, gave up the idea of dying with Bai Qi, and desperately saved his life.
At this moment, he thought of the woman again, only this time, it was impossible for him to save his own life, and it was impossible for him to change any decisions for her.
This time, the death is absolute.
But ah.
Because of that woman, he cherished life more, so that he did not want to die easily no matter what, until he saw her. At least before that, because of his longing for that woman, he survived the battles again and again, lived tenaciously in countless dangers, and always longed to be able to see her in person.
It's a pity that Xiang Yu's heart has taken on too much responsibility to the country and his compatriots, even if he misses it deeply, he can only keep it in his heart for a long time, in the period of national disaster, in addition to constantly dealing with battles and dangers, he can't do any willful actions for that woman.
The love of children is insignificant in the face of the great disasters of the times, he can't be as affectionate as Han Xin, so he can go to Wang Zhaojun without caring about anything, he can't.
So until the end, he didn't have a chance to find the woman, let alone see her with his own eyes.
It's a shame to think about it now...... In the past three years, even if he could once let go of his duty to protect the king and resolutely set foot in the ancient land to find it, he would have seen that woman a long time ago.
If we could really meet each other, I wouldn't be so sorry to this day.
It's a pity that the past is like smoke, and it's gone......
Xiang Yu closed his eyes and let his body with heart loss of blood be annihilated in the devouring, he was going to say goodbye to the world, and all his thoughts and regrets.
However, at the moment when Xiang Yucai's eyes were closed, a cold flute sound floated out softly, quiet and melodious, from his ears to his heart, like a drop of ice and dew, ticking on his depleted heart.
It's flute! It's the flute!
Xiang Yu woke up suddenly, the already cold blood stirred up a trace of temperature at the end, and the eyes that had just been on the twilight were completely opened, and the pair of wide-open white-gold pupils were full of unbelievable luster.
How can it be? How could the most familiar flute sound in memory really come at such a time!
And the sound was so clear, so clear that every small and moving note could be heard in the quiet wind of the night sky. This is a feeling that he has never experienced in the border city, because the distance between the border city and the ancient still exists for thousands of meters, and the flute sound he hears is actually more or less disturbed by the distant wind.
But the sensation was so close that it was as if the flute was blowing not far behind him.
And the flute, who was now behind him, very close to him, was playing the piccolo and staring at him.
I can't believe it, he really can't believe it in his heart, he has come to the last moment of his life, and fate will favor him so much that when he has the last second left, he can still have the opportunity to meet the person who makes his heart long.
He didn't believe it, he felt that he must have had auditory hallucinations, it must be because of too much blood loss, too vague consciousness, too close to death, and too deep obsession, so he felt that the familiar flute sound sounded around him.
It must have been all hallucinations, all illusions—but he couldn't help it, the flute was too clear, too real, too affectionate, so affectionate that his bleeding heart felt like it was crying.
So he couldn't bear it, the moment he opened his eyes, he suddenly turned his body, not caring about the chaotic light's confinement of him, taking advantage of the last trace of temperature in his blood, he desperately turned around, wanting to see his thoughts.
His gaze, which was full of anxiety, doubt, and too many complex emotions, all turned into pure affection after a moment.
He saw that in the night sky where the wind and moon were still falling, on the back of the snow-white flying dragon, the woman was holding a black piccolo in her hand, and she was playing a flute with tears in her eyes.
It's the woman who is as bright as the wind.
- Time rewinds a few minutes and seconds, back to the moment when Xiang Yu of the Firmament raised his big sword and pierced his chest-
When the blade pierced the heart and blood splattered in the air, the expressions of everyone present froze. Horror appeared in their eyes, as if blood had spilled from Xiang Yu's chest staining their gaze red.
However, no matter how they thought, it was impossible for them to guess this scene, that heroic Xiang Yu would swing his sword and pierce his chest at the last moment. But the last roar that came out of Xiang Yu's mouth rang out in their ears as heavy as a bell - "My life is up to me!" ”
On the dark and deep earth, Liu Bang's hand was still tightly grasping the dirt on the ground, but his limp body couldn't stop trembling.
He stared at the blade that pierced Xiang Yu's heart and was dyed bright red by blood, and the pupils of his eyes condensed to a bloodshot crack. His breath grew faster and faster, and the blood in his body became more and more hot, but his hands could do nothing but clung to the crush of dirt, and did nothing.
On the bank of the Wujiang River, a fierce black horse stood upright. Although the riverbank area has been burned down by the dragon fire for thousands of meters, and there are many potholes at a glance, there is still land in the ruins surrounded by fire.
And the black horse stood in a corner of the ruins of the riverbank, accompanied by the whirring flames and the bubbling river, raising his head and staring silently at his master, the sword piercing the chest.
The black horse never left, although after Xiang Yu entered the awakening state, he no longer needed the mount on the ground, and the Qianjiangling where the candle dragon was above was dangerous, and it could be burned into ashes by the dragon fire falling from the sky at any time if it stayed here, but it did not leave.
O Wu Qi, it desperately avoided several catastrophic attacks of pure dragon fire alone, and then stopped in a corner of the riverbank, silently watching the ups and downs of the war from beginning to end of the Thousand River Mountains, until the last moment, seeing with his own eyes that its master was on the verge of death.
It also seems to have some kind of spirituality, and it feels that its master will be extinct here, so it has always waited here. Silently, he watched Xiang Yu on his last journey.
The wind, the lower it blows, the more the moon, is always gray.
The White Night Dragon clenched its teeth, and its fierce eyes were always alert to the great danger in the night sky. And on its back, its owner has completely lost his soul.
The long ochre hair was still fluttering gently, and the cyan skirt was swaying, but Yu Ji's eyes, those turquoise, bright eyes, were only red from blood droplets.
Across the sky about 100 meters, all her eyes saw only the man who wielded the sword to cut himself, the sword that pierced the heart, and the blood that flowed into the void.
Yu Ji seemed to be about to suffocate, she knew that it would be difficult to survive this catastrophe, but she was far from having time to face such a reality, and the man actually raised his sword and cut himself.
The burning iron wire that was tightly tied to her heart, that is, all her worries and anxieties about Xiang Yu were hard and deeply broken at this moment.
The thread is broken, there is no need for pain in her heart anymore, the person is also dead, she doesn't need to worry about anything anymore.
However, in the face of this fact that has fallen into the dust, how can it be so difficult to accept—it is even more difficult to accept than your own death.
Her soft and pure heart seemed to have suddenly hollowed out a large part, and all of them disappeared with the death of Xiang Yu in front of her.
"Why is that...... Why ......"
Could it be that Xiang Yu is really the person who makes her heart and mind? So his death will bring her such a desperate sorrow?
But now that Xiang Yu is going to die, how can she prove it!
She didn't even have a chance to ask him a question! The half-foot-wide sword pierced through the heart, and the hot blood kept flowing all over the body, and the tall and majestic man was already on the verge of the last second of death, and the whole body showed nothing but death, only the unyielding heroism of dying.
What else can she do in the face of this dying reality? She can't do anything!
Moreover, the chaotic light was surging in the void of death, eating away at Xiang Yu's blood-stained body, and the arms, thighs, and wings were all rapidly devoured until they turned into countless dust in the void.
Yu Ji didn't have time to do anything, and she didn't even have time to rush forward to ask a word...... It's too late for anything, she will never know the truth about whether Xiang Yu is that person or not!
In this life and this life, she can only continue to search for it alone with all her doubts and fears, so that one day she can find a man who is destined to be her and let him tell him that all the sorrow and pain are misunderstandings, and he is the person who has been lovesick with her in the past years until she finally met.
Yu Ji's hand tightly grasped the black piccolo on her waist, and she still couldn't help but feel sad in her heart.
Is that all there is to it...... Because you can't do anything...... She could only watch like this, letting her heart grieve for no reason, until the next second, everything was reduced to nothingness in that chaotic light......
No...... It's not like she can't do anything...... The piccolo she held tightly made a flash of light flash in her heart, and all the gloom in her eyes lit up in an instant.
Yu Ji trembled, as if awakened from sleep, only to see her excitedly grab the black piccolo and tear off the rope tied to her waist without hesitation.
Then she held the piccolo in both hands close to her lips, and used all her strength to play the extremely familiar flute sound!
Therefore, in that incomparably short moment, a cold flute sound fluttered lightly in the void, quiet and melodious, crossing a distance of only 100 meters, from Xiang Yu's ears to his heart, like a drop of ice and clear rain and dew, ticking on his almost depleted heart.
This was the only thing Yu Ji could do now, and the only thing she could think of was to blow another flute in the last minute. Of course, she still couldn't be sure if Xiang Yu was that person, but the flute was the most important clue connecting her and that person. For the past three years, she has been playing this flute sound, and that person has been listening to this flute sound.
If it was really that person, he would have recognized the flute at the first thought of hearing it!
However, the moment he heard the sound of this flute, the man who had been annihilated in the chaotic light to only half of his body remained, the Xiang Yu who drew the sword and cut himself, he turned back without hesitation.
And when he turned around, his wide-open eyes, which were full of countless complex emotions, clearly revealed a trace of excitement for the flute.
He knew this flute, Xiang Yu had heard this flute before!
In the moment when the flute retracted, Yu Ji's pupils were all wet with tears, and the hot and full teardrops swirled over and over again in the eyes that were shaking, and then couldn't help but drip down her cheeks.
Xiang Yu, he's that person! He is the one who has been guarding the border city and listening to his flute for three years!
From beginning to end, all the guesses are right, all the doubts have been explained, Xiang Yu is the person Yu Ji has been thinking about and constantly pursuing!
And Yu Ji, that is, Xiang Yu misses his love for a long time, and he can't let go of it until he dies!
It wasn't until the last second before Xiang Yu's death that the two of them finally recognized each other in the affectionate and long flute sound, and with the deep affection that they missed each other, they recognized the same long-brewing affection in each other's eyes.
I don't know if it's lucky or unlucky, but in the second before the tragedy settled, they could stare at each other's eyes with tears in their eyes, which was really ...... I was so touched that I have no regrets in my life.
However, a second is so short, and after the blink of an eye of the two phases, it is a lifetime of separation.
No matter how deep the feelings between people are, the great wheel of fate will not stop there.
The chaotic light of black and white has always been ruthlessly devouring, and just when Xiang Yu, the light of the sky, looked back and saw Yu Ji, his blood-stained chest had already begun to annihilate, and with the divine wing greatsword that pierced through his heart, everything drifted into gray smoke in the void.
In the last moment, Xiang Yu actually only had one head left hanging in the void, and even the long golden hair was annihilated.
But even so, he didn't care, his tear-burning eyes focused all his eyes on Yu Ji's body.
At the last moment of leaving the world, he forgot the whole world and the world, and only Yu Ji was in his eyes.
It turned out to be this woman who was as bright as the wind...... The person he has been thinking about is really beautiful and pure like a touch of green in the spring breeze.
Is this the last unyielding reward given to him by providence? Or is it that even the ruthless providence can't help but favor him?
So in the last second of his near death, he finally got what he wanted and recognized the person he kept missing.
It's just a pity that I didn't know the woman's name until the end...... In the critical situation, he kept forgetting to ask when he was flying in the air, so at the last moment, he didn't even know Yu Ji's name.
What will be her name?
It's too late to know in this life, but there are no regrets in my heart.
It was great to see her at last.
So Xiang Yu was full of emotion, and finally stared at Yu Ji's beauty until his eyes were also annihilated in the light of chaos.
Xiang Yu, he was completely wiped out.
"Ah!! Yes!!! The moment the flute stopped abruptly, Yu Ji let out a heart-rending cry.
Until she saw Xiang Yu's head completely disappear in the chaotic light, Yu Ji couldn't hold on any longer.
Wet black piccolo fell from her lips, and her numb hands were still stiff in front of her face. Her tense spirit broke down in an instant, she couldn't stand it, she really couldn't stand it—so she screamed like crazy.
Xiang Yu is that person, Xiang Yu is that person!
It was the person she had been thinking about for three years, the only person she had ever paid attention to in this world, the most important person in her heart - just now, just now, she finally recognized him, and finally really saw him!
But just now, just a moment later, Xiang Yu completely disappeared without a shadow, and even his life, his mood, his gaze, all disappeared into the endless night!
At the end of the devouring, the light faded, as if the entire night sky had returned to the serenity of the wind and moon.
Only Yu Ji.
It's only a second! It took them a second to recognize each other!
In that second, she really saw the affection in Xiang Yu's eyes, she really knew that Xiang Yu was also missing her for so long, and she really realized that she was actually so close to her love - although there was still a distance of about 100 meters, this was already the closest they had been to each other in the past three years.
It was so close that she wanted to walk over again, close to his breathing, to see his face......
But this is the last second before death!
A second later, Xiang Yu was already dead, completely dead, his whole body turned into smoke, and there was not even a trace of a relic left!
Yu Ji and Xiang Yu! Their love only started for a second, and it was all over.
Look at each other in this second, recognize each other in this second, know each other in this second, and love each other in this second.
The final parting is also in this second.
A second seems like an incomparably long and incomparably short second.
After a second, everything is empty.
A flute sound, farewell concubine.
Hot tears continued to flow down her cheeks, and Yu Ji's people were still physically and mentally broken, and they couldn't cry.
And a familiar and terrifying roar of fire suddenly erupted from the sky-Yingzheng! He controlled the body of the candle dragon to override the end of the night dome, blooming a golden red lotus flower that was facing everyone below, and spewed out the pure dragon fire that had been brewing in the heart of the flower for a long time!
The golden light and shadow, the crimson flames, and the scorching pure dragon fire like the scorching sun pierced the sky and struck the earth, and the white night dragon hanging in the void below landed right in the center of the dragon fire attack!
The roar of the dragon fire broke the silence of the entire night sky, and also drowned out Yu Ji's crying.
The White Night Dragon raised its head slightly, its blue eyes like jewels looking up fiercely. By then, Mulan and Street Fighter Han Shin had already left its back, and the golden-red heat was covering the sky and pressing down on it.
So without hesitation, the white night dragon turned abruptly and flew outside with the only Yu Ji on his back. The snow-white wings vibrated outward with all the strength of the magic blue energy, and then it slashed out like a snow-white meteor in the sky.
Yu Ji was still in her own sadness, the world seemed to her as if it was dead ashes, she didn't care about anything at all, she wasn't afraid of anything anymore. What if the pure dragon fire falls, let's take her to die with her, let her be wiped out together!
But the White Night Dragon won't let her die.
The White Night Dragon's still spiritual intelligence was very simple, and he was far from being able to understand the sorrow of his master, nor did he understand why his master was crying at this time. But what it understood was that the fifty-meter-long pure dragon fire was rushing towards them above its head. That's a force that it can't resist anymore, but it won't hurt its master, let alone die!
So in an instant, the White Night Dragon forced out its strongest strength, forcing the limit speed of flight one step further out of the limit, it firmly believed, and was desperately fleeing with Yu Ji. This speed must be okay, even if the high temperature of the dragon fire has burned to the top of the head, it will definitely be able to escape with Yu Ji.
Sure enough, the White Night Dragon succeeded, and the flying snow-white meteor swept by, completely out of the huge attack range of the Pure Dragon Fire.
However, after escaping the danger of dragon fire, the White Night Dragon did not slow down, it still flapped its wings with all its might, endured the pain of its body in the high-altitude collision, and at the same time used its body to protect Yu Ji as much as possible, and continued to fly outward.
This place called Qianjiangling is too dangerous, the thousand-meter candle dragon that is above the night sky is too terrifying, the white night dragon is far from strong enough to deal with such a situation, but it doesn't want Yu Ji to come into contact with any danger again, so it must flee outside.
This time, no matter what Yu Ji says, it won't listen, even if it is forced, it will take her to escape first, and then go back to the old man's side, with that man, it will be safe.
Fortunately, at this moment, Yu Ji was completely in a state of despair and sadness, and she didn't care about anything, so she flew out with the White Night Dragon.
