With a "boom", the Jin Hongjian successfully split the robe in half, and it dispersed like a light veil. Qi Lu's eyes suddenly shone brightly, and through the layers of light, he saw that Fahai and Bai Suzhen were fighting, but Bai Suzhen had become a disadvantage.

The rain kept falling, as if it was about to melt everything in heaven and earth into the rain.

Suddenly, a bolt of lightning pierced through the thick clouds, and the thunder of the earth-shattering thunder exploded, and the strong aftermath echoed in the open land for a long time.

The rain also changed from sparse to dense, like a rain of flowers, and the huge rain curtain spread magnificently, falling above the entire West Lake. The dripping rain hit his cheeks, cold and bitter, and slowly slid down the contours of his face like teardrops.

"Stop, do you really have to wait for someone to die?" Qi Lu yelled and ran towards the two without hesitation.

But someone was faster than him, and he was already in front of Fahai and Bai Suzhen before Qi Lu.

"Xu Jingqiao?" Qi Lu's pupils shrank suddenly, everything happened so suddenly and unexpectedly, if he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he couldn't believe that Xu Jingqiao, who had become a coward and turned around and fled, would turn back and return.

At this time, Xu Jingqiao was drenched, and he had just come out of the water, and he was no different from a water dog. But there was a calmness in his eyes that he had never felt before, and he still had an umbrella in his hand, a worn-out oil-paper umbrella.

This umbrella Qi Lu has already seen, the oil-paper umbrella that once floated on the surface of the West Lake, ordinary people can't see it, but Xu Jingqiao can see the umbrella.

Until many years later, Qi Lu still couldn't understand that Ming Fahai's protective robe blocked his contact with the outside world, Xu Jingqiao was just a mortal body, how did he break through this barrier and successfully come to Bai Suzhen's side, and how did he find this umbrella from the bottom of the lake?

But none of this is important, the key is that he is back, there is no cowardly expression on his face, and in the blow of Fahai's volley to his wife, he opened the umbrella without hesitation and blocked Bai Suzhen.

A dazzling and bright color flashed in front of Qi Lu's eyes, it was Xu Jingqiao's blood, flying like flowers in the sky, he was just a mortal after all, and his body had been struck by Fahai's spell.

In an instant, the wind suddenly disappeared, the crackling raindrops stopped, and the undulating surface of the lake suddenly became as calm as a mirror. But beyond the lake, the wind was still howling, the rain was still falling, and the curtain of rain had not yet been closed......

In a trance, scenes of distant scenes that made people confused shook in Xu Jingqiao's eyes, like scenes of marquees repeatedly appearing in front of his eyes, and finally froze in a picture.

It was a drizzly day, and the sky and the earth were vast. I was so embarrassed by the heavy rain that I was thinking about finding a place to hide from the rain, when a slender hand reached over to block the falling raindrops, and also blocked all the cold and loneliness.

A line of crystal tears dripped from Xu Jingqiao's eyes, and slowly dripped into the blood-stained lake water, shattered.

The heart-wrenching feeling began to spread from the bottom of his heart, like a seed breaking out of the ground, Xu Jingqiao felt that his body could no longer support it, and fell straight back.

He fell into a warm embrace, and his face was filled with tears.

"Xianggong, why are you so stupid!" Bai Suzhen hugged him and cried silently.

Fahai stood there stunned, as if he had not woken up from the scene just now. Qi Lu lost his mind and put away his sword wordlessly.

"Brother-in-law......" Xiaoqing flew over and knelt down in front of Xu Jingqiao.

Everyone was looking at him silently, and the man in front of him had been in a thousand ways before, but at this moment, he washed away all his cowardice with his actions.

The air seemed to be still in an instant, and Xu Jingqiao struggled to cast his eyes on Fahai.

"Master, apprentice...... I've let you down......" The throat instantly heated, and a mouthful of blood gushed out.

"Wronged, wronged!" Fahai's eyes became misty.

Bai Suzhen's face became more and more ugly, her black hair was messy, and she gently wiped the blood from Xu Jingqiao's lips.

"Anyway, things ...... Rise because of me and end because of me. Xu Jingqiao smiled sadly, "You just let them go, Lingshan...... I'll never go back......"

"Xu Xian!" Fahai interrupted him, frantically trying to spit out all the stuffy breath in his chest, but he didn't say anything after all.

"Please, Master!" Xu Jingqiao's face was gray and colorless, but there was endless sadness in his eyes, which made people unbearable to pay attention to.

Fahai turned his head sadly, "Okay, I promise you for the teacher." ”

Xu Jingqiao seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, biting his white lips, which had no blood at this time, raised his hand stained red by the blood gushing out of his chest, and trembled to hold his wife's hand.

"I'm a ...... That's all a useless man can do......"

"No......" Bai Suzhen opened her mouth, and as soon as the words came out, big tears rolled down first. Don't ......" and then open your mouth, still can't say the full sentence, "You're not ......"

"Don't cry for me, just let me see you one last time." Xu Jingqiao looked at his wife crying in his arms in a daze, and a look of remembrance appeared in his eyes that had lost his brilliance.

"Xianggong, you'll be fine, I'll take you back to the Void Realm and let you sleep in an ice coffin. One day, I will find a panacea for you. ”

"Don't be stupid, don't you think...... Is this the best ending? Xu Jingqiao exhaled hard, "Forget me, I'm a person who doesn't deserve your love...... of people. ”

Bai Suzhen was grief-stricken, and she wanted to speak again, but Xu Jingqiao had already covered her mouth with a trembling hand.

"Let me look at you again and remember your face...... Fortunately, in the reincarnation of future lives, remember to avoid you......"

When these last words came out of Xu Jingqiao's mouth, his eyes completely lost their brilliance, closed like a child, and fell asleep forever.

Bai Suzhen howled uncontrollably and burst into tears. In Xu Jingqiao's arms, he cried so darkly that he wet his cold coat.

The wind suddenly rose, and the tearing sound of the air flow spinning and breaking the wind was like a huge mournful roar, reverberating over the ancient city of Hangzhou, and it would not disperse for a long time.

When the rain passed, Bai Suzhen had already left with Xu Jingqiao's corpse, and Xiaoqing also followed her, no one knew where they went, maybe they were going back to the empty realm, maybe they were going to a place that no one knew.

But what happened just now haunted Qi Lu's mind like a nightmare, lingering.

Looking back, Fahai stood in place like a statue, Qi Lu couldn't help but sigh lightly and said, "Master, can't you let go?" ”

"Why, why is this happening?" Fahai's figure swayed in the wind. "Everyone in the world has lost their nature in the rolling red dust, why don't they follow the Buddha's instructions?"

"Master, if it is really as you wish, all living beings become Buddhas, such a world, do you really think it is good?"

"What's wrong?" Fahai shouted: "Transcending life and death, never falling into reincarnation, breaking through confusion and enlightenment, and being free from suffering and happiness, isn't this the ultimate pursuit of life?" ”

"Maybe, I don't know." Qi Lu lowered his eyes slightly, and his eyes showed a touch of sadness. "But I know that if the master wants to become a Buddha, he is afraid that he will have to look at the creation in the next life."

"You ......" Fahai's angry tone contained a faint hint of anger, after all, he did not have a seizure, but his expression was tight, and he clasped his palms and said, "Why did the donor say this?" ”

"All colors are empty, does the master know?"

Fahai was stunned for a moment, but then replied: "The poor monk has been empty since he was a child, can't he still understand this Buddhist principle?" ”

"Yes, I remember that the master was never close to women. Xu Xian was trapped in the gentle countryside and could not be freed. Qi Lu smiled slightly, "Is the master still obsessed with this, if there is no infatuation, where can he be enlightened?" If you are not close to all colors like a master, how can you know that color is empty? ”

It was like a slap in the face, and Fahai suddenly became enlightened in his heart.

"Good, good. The Buddha is at ease in the hearts of the people, how can it ever be far away from the world! Fahai departed laughing.

"Well, I'm just talking about it, but you really believe it." Qi Lu stared at Fahai's departing back with meaningful eyes.

When he finally withdrew his gaze, he saw a floating lamp made of paper floating in the clear water, an inch-high red candle, spitting bright flames in the stretched lotus petals.

The lamp floated in the water, gradually dimming, just like the sorrow of the West Lake, after all, it was extinguished in the hustle and bustle of the world.

A few days later, in Kunlun affairs, Ding Xiaolan suddenly remembered the past again. "I really didn't expect Xu Jingqiao to be such a person......"

She can't forget this incident yet, and she is endlessly falling into sighs and sighs.

Qi Lu grinned and replied, "Then what kind of person do you think he should be?" ”

"Timid and cowardly, a dick who doesn't take responsibility. Obviously he has already hugged his head and scurried, why did he become dead again? ”

"yes, don't say it's you, I didn't think of it." Qi Lu quickly regained his calm expression and replied lightly.

Lao Wu also replied with drunken eyes: "I didn't even expect it, no matter how complicated the world is, it can't withstand the complexity of people's hearts." ”

"Cut, I said Lao Wu." Ding Xiaolan looked at him with a smile and said, "If it were you, I'm afraid I would have run to a corner and get drunk and rest, right?" ”

Hearing this, Qi Lu couldn't help laughing anymore, and Ding Xiaolan also laughed, and the whole room was filled with joyful laughter.

But they didn't realize that across the street, there was a person looking coldly at the Kunlun office.

"Alas!" He let out a sudden sigh, his face covered with gloom.

"Your Highness, why should you worry, he has just been in the world for a long time, and he will inevitably be contaminated with some bad habits of human beings." Another person suddenly appeared behind this burly man, and he was Meng Huai, the deity of the Ming Mountain.

Lone feared that he had forgotten who he was. Time is running out for us, and it's time for him to get back to his roots. ”

"How is it possible, with the noble blood of our god clan flowing in his body, he will eventually wake up and complete his mission."

"I hope so."

"Your Highness, don't worry, he will."

With that, the figures of the two disappeared from the noisy crowd.

A beautiful animal curled up obediently on the roof, its eyelids gently closed, its shaggy white fur glinting golden in the sunlight.
