The fragrance burns out, and the flowers bloom and fall. On the table of Yu Nanmu, the wine chips are staggered.

Xia Wanren raised his glass, "The first cup, Aunt Qing will not die." ”

After drinking it all, he raised his glass again, "The second cup, Aunt He will see the light of day again." ”

The words have fallen, and the cup has bottomed out.

was about to raise his glass again, but was stopped by Ziyu, "Elder Xia, you drank too quickly and hurt your body." ”

Xia Wanren smiled bitterly, "What does it matter if you are hurt or not." No one will care. Not like your aunt, you ......" she shook her head and asked, "Auntie, do you know what it is like to wait for a thousand years?"

Seeing that Ziyu was silent, Xia Wanren sneered, like self-deprecation and ridicule.

"How do you know? I'm so stupid. You have so many people who love you, Immortal Venerable, Master, Senior Brother, how can you Ji Ziyu understand?"

"Elder Xia, you're drunk. ”

"Drunk? Wanren played with the wine cup in his hand and asked, "Auntie, I will call you aunt again." Tell me, do you love him?"

Ziyu was a little stunned, "Stop?"

As if he hadn't heard, he said to himself, "If it's love, be with him." Don't worry too much, the order of the young and the old, and the words of the people, I will help you deal with it. Her voice was low, with too many complex emotions, some earnest, some sad, some unwilling, and more helpless.

Wanren is interested in Zhige, she has known it for a long time. What kind of feelings should she be able to give up her beloved.

Ziyu was shocked, "You...... Don't you love him?"

"yes, I love him. Even, I selfishly wanted to keep him by my side forever. The imaginary happiness made the corners of her mouth unconsciously curve upward. But three thousand years have passed, he is in charge of Kunlun, and everything has settled, but it is just a water moon mirror flower.

"Remember the day he came to pick you up from the Pure Pool? He stood next to you, and it was the first time in years that I had seen him smile so heartily. He smiled at me, too, but always with reason and detachment. Since then, I have made my choice. I want him to be happy more than to keep him by my side. Because I love him. ”

Ziyu sighed silently, it turns out that there is such a deep love in the world, so much so that he can't extricate himself, and he loves so much that he gives it up.

Ziyu poured wine for her, "You also said just now, I am your aunt, and naturally I am also his elder." Whether it was in the past or now, I have always regarded him as a younger brother and a close friend, regardless of the love between men and women. These will never change. ”

"Then leave. Stay away from him, never appear. Okay?"

Xia Wanren looked at Ziyu eagerly, with ardent hope in his eyes. But for a moment, she felt that it was too impractical. With a smile, he slowly poured the wine for Ziyu, and said word by word, "After all, you are the stain of Immortal Venerable's life, which cannot be erased or washed." If it weren't for you, how could Immortal Venerable be struggling in Heavenly Court? You have ruined a Kunlun sect now, but if you still have the heart, please let it go. ”

Is it a stain? She really became a sharp weapon for others to attack him.

"I... Brother, is he okay now?"

"Although the Emperor of Heaven values the Immortal Venerable, there is a stream of villains in the Heavenly Court, represented by Ziyin Zhenren. The rumors are terrifying, and his situation can be imagined. Wanren smiled disdainfully, "What? Now that you think of your concern, when you fell into the Demon Dao, you should simply jump off Zhu Xiantai and cut off your relationship with him." Your current skewed questioning is hypocritical. ”

Xia Wanren got up and stared at Ziyu's eyes, "Ji Ziyu, it's fake to say that I don't hate you." But everyone is defending you, and I think you must be as good as I can't see. If you still think of the love between Xianzun and your brother and sister, and stop treating you with affection, you should leave and not let anyone find you. Don't reappear again for the rest of your life. That's the only thing you can do for them. With that, Xia Wanren brushed his sleeves and left.

Silence, or silence.

Ziyu sat alone, and the guilt hit like a tide. Yes, she hurt her brother, how can she hurt her brother again.

On the second day, the people of Suchen Pavilion went to the empty building.

The only thing left for Zhi Ge was a jade crown on the Yu Nan wood table and a note of letter paper. Only eight characters——

The ends of the earth, each cherished.

Yes, Ziyu left. I don't know where I went with my little apprentice.

Ziyu thought, maybe it was really as Xia Wanren said, leaving was the only thing she could do.

Yun Qiang jumped up and down behind Ziyu, "Master, Master, where are we going?"

Ziyu looked up at the vast sky and clouds, and replied, "The sky and the earth are big, and you travel all over the world, and the four seas are your home." ”

"Okay, good!" Yun Qiang cheered, "Master, there are many fun things in the world. Blowing candy people, playing drum flowers, and lantern festivals will ......" Yun Qiang counted them one by one with his fingers.

No matter how long it has passed, the little apprentice is always like a child. She is delicate and cute, and she is childish like a ray of sunshine shining into her heart, sweeping away the haze.

Ziyu was very glad that she saved her casually.

But Ziyu doesn't understand the most beautiful things in this world, and it hurts people the most. Years later, she didn't know that it was this beautiful smile that pushed her into hell, and she never recovered.

The world is not as beautiful as Kunlun Wonderland, but it is practical to walk on the road.

In fact, when she came to this world, she had selfish intentions. She wanted to see what the land he loved and guarded was like.

The master and apprentice walked for many days, and everywhere they went was desolate, overgrown with weeds and decaying trees, and there were no people in sight.

The little apprentice had already lost his previous interest, and gradually became silent day by day. I often don't know what to say in my mouth.

Ziyu felt that it was time to care about the little apprentice, and stepped forward to pat her on the shoulder, "What's wrong?"

"Master. For the first time, the smiling face was covered with a faint sadness, "This is my country." ”

Ziyu suddenly understood that I am afraid that time passes, and things change. In the past, the lanterns were like day, prosperous like the city, and now they are desolate and defeated, and the little apprentice is difficult to accept for a while.

"Everything in the world is changing all the time, this is the principle of nature. It is eternal, not to mention that there are too many things in the world in the past three thousand years. Yunqiang, you have to get used to it. ”

The little apprentice was stunned, "I watched my father grow old and die. My royal brother, who was the same age as me, grew old and died. It's like Ling Chi. Everyone is a good immortal, but Master, Yun Qiang doesn't think it at all. ”

"The difference between life and death is like the difference between waking up from a dream. Death is the beginning of life, and life is the end of death. If you are destined for your father and brother, you will also meet in the vast sea of people. ”

The little apprentice nodded, pulling Ziyu's sleeves, "Master, you know so much." ”

Ziyu smiled and said nothing, everything she had, from cognition to spells, was given by him.

The little apprentice was relieved and became even more happy.

"Master, it's time to be in Beth City. Yun Qiang pointed to the city tower in front of him, "I'll explore the way first." ”

After the little apprentice left, it was a lot deserted, and Ziyu unconsciously sped up his steps. As soon as he walked outside the city, he faintly heard a commotion inside, Ziyu had doubts in his heart, and was shocked by the scene in front of him after he walked in.

The doors of every house are closed, and there are no street vendors to be seen, and there is no life. The whole city was almost filled with beggars. Unkempt and ragged, someone was lying on the side of the road, with their eyes closed, as if dead.

"Master!" the little apprentice ran over.

"Beth City should be prosperous. Ziyu muttered.

It is rich in silk and its cloth is famous far and wide. In the four seas, there are many people who come here. What kind of change would cause a city to perish?

"Girl, save my child. A woman knelt at Ziyu's feet, holding a boy of four or five years old in her arms. The woman and the child were thin, with almost no skeleton left.

"Master......" The little apprentice snorted, apparently moved by compassion.

Ziyu squatted down to check the child's pulse, but after a moment she stood up again, frowning slightly, "He's dead." ”

"What nonsense are you talking about!" the woman rebuked, and then gently patted the child's back, "Sleep, sleep." Mother......" She smiled, but she had already burst into tears.

The woman suddenly screamed and disappeared into the street with the child in her arms.

"Eh!" the little apprentice was about to catch up, but was stopped by a person.

"Are you two strangers?" stopped the little apprentice from an old woman. And then he looked around cautiously. He whispered, "Let's make a monster here, let's go in and talk about it." ”

After entering the house, the old woman was obviously relieved, and even spoke louder, "In the past few years, there has been a great drought every year, not to mention that there is no harvest, and even the silkworms have died." A while ago, there was another epidemic, and many people died. Now there is a monster again, the dead die, and the fleeing. It's very dangerous outside, you two little girls, but don't run around at will. ”

"Now here, the most thing is not silk, but corpses. The old woman poured them tea from the teapot.

Yun Qiang drank it and felt sweet, "This is not water." ”

"Alas, now the wells are dry. This is sweet potato juice. The old woman smiled helplessly.

"But what should I do if my mother-in-law's sweet potatoes are gone?"

"I'm an old woman, and I'm going to go when it's time to go. There are often bandits here, and the two girls will rest at my place for one night, and they will leave early tomorrow morning. Don't get into trouble. ”

"We are doctors, so naturally we can't die without help. Tomorrow, a medical center will be set up in the city to provide free consultations. Can my mother-in-law tell us about the symptoms of the epidemic?" Ziyu asked.

"Really?"

Yun Qiang was busy answering, "Mother-in-law, my master is full of words, you can rest assured." ”

"This disease is very strange, once it is infected, it is as if the blood has been drained, and the face is pale. Then he gradually lost his sense of taste and smell, like a madman, and his six relatives did not recognize him. When he died, his eyes were deep-set and his bones were as thin as wood, and he was terrifying. ”

Ziyu frowned, and the more he listened to it, the more incredible he felt. It's not like you're sick, it's like some kind of magic.

"How does my mother-in-law know about monsters? But someone has seen it with her own eyes?"

The old woman was visibly stunned and replied, "Not really, but just rumors." But this kind of thing, it's better just in case. ”

Ziyu looked at the old man, she was kind and kind, and she looked like a good person.
