"When you meet you, why do you have to know each other?"

——— crane. Michiko

First Plane, Earthly Realm, Winston Campus.

Rebirth. Emily Dale is taking a casual walk around the botanical gardens.

The wind passes by the tall camphor trees on both sides of the road, playing the music of "rustling", ushering in a quiet fragrance. It's five o'clock in the afternoon, but it's already night, but those summer cicadas lying on the camphor tree don't care, in this summer, whether it's day or night, you can always hear the rhythmic cicada chirping.

Emily Dale was one of the top three students in her grade, and of course, this had to do with her hard work. It stands to reason that she should stay in her dorm room now and brush up on the questions instead of wasting time here——— speaking of which, this is the first time she has come to the Botanical Garden——— in the morning the school radio announced that she will hold a gala in the opera house in the east side of the campus tonight, and the whole school will come. Because it is an emergency, so the class teacher can only pick some students in the class who think they are talented, but unfortunately, her class will not do anything except study, games, playing basketball, and playing football. That will be a joke for the whole school!

But fortunately, there can only be one performance in a class, and the number of people is not limited, so Emily Dyle, who is a student, died honorably under the strong recommendation of other students. In the words of Kreacher Pearson, it is "sacrifice you alone, and the whole class will be happy"; In the words of Naib Sabeda, "no one dies, all must die."

Emily Dyer: (◦'~ ́◦)

“Hello！” Emily Dale looked at it and saw that it was a gentleman under the moon. Joseph.

"Hey!" Emily Dale raised her right palm slightly, which was considered a return salute.

"What's wrong? A sad face. Seeing her helplessness, Joseph quipped.

Joseph is one level above Emily Dale and is her senior. Because it was facing graduation season, the school did not notify the West District, and naturally it did not know.

Emily Dale turned and sat down on the stone bench under the tree, and after saying "sit", she began to vomit. Joseph was smiling and listening.

"I'm okay with my studies, but ...... No, no. Emily Dale said with her head bowed slightly, shaking her head slightly.

Joseph chuckled twice and said, "Silly girl, if you don't, you won't go, and the teacher won't force you." ”

"Oops! You don't understand! ”

“…… Aren't Fiona going to play "The Princess and the Demon King"? You can just play a random character, such as a big tree in the background, an enemy given by white, ......"

"It's full."

"Uh-huh......" Joseph was closing his eyes and thinking about it, when he suddenly "poofed" a smile.

"What are you laughing at?"

"How about Tortoise and Hare Race? William plays the rabbit, you play the tortoise? ”

Emily Delle was speechless, snorted, and got up to leave.

Joseph glanced at her, smiled slantedly, but did not chase after her, but got up and walked towards the long-abandoned East and West districts.

God's Domain, the castle of the Divine Realm.

DONG Yao. Xie Bi stood quietly on the rooftop, looking at the drizzle outside with an expressionless face, letting the breeze pass over his handsome but pale face, blowing three or two strands of black hair. Stretching out his right palm and reaching forward, the rain was very cold, no different from when he first came here, a thousand years ago, and a thousand years later.

"Brother Xie," a black light flashed, and the east wind was far away. Fan Wujiao appeared in Dongfeng Yao. Next to Xie Bi'an, "Apollo asked to see him, and he said that he was in a hurry." ”

"Enter."

When the words fell, a golden light flashed, and a sun-shaped golden "plate" was in the east wind. A space-time rift was drawn on Xie Bi'an's left. Apollo. Joseph walked out of it with the Sun Prism Sword in his left hand, and said with a smile as he walked: "I haven't seen you in a hundred years, I miss it very much!" ”

Xie Bi'an let out a flat "heh", turned his head to look at him expressionlessly, and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

"Do me a favor"

……

"Thanks, farewell!" Apollo. Holding the vial in his right hand, Joseph turned to leave.

"The past is the past, why is that?" DONG Yao. Xie Bi'an looked at the lonely mountains in the distance that were faintly visible due to the white mist, and asked. The depths of his pure white eyes seemed to be filled with an invisible white mist.

Apollo. As he walked, Joseph swung forward with his left hand to split a rift in time and space, and said, "This life is long and endless, so why not have anyone to follow you?" Sighing with a smile...... "Before he finished speaking, he walked into the space-time rift and left.

DONG Yao. Xie Bi'an was silent.

After a moment, he turned his head to look at the turquoise jade hairpin on the mahogany vanity, and couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

Winston Campus, Opera House, 7:30 p.m.

Emily Dale stood behind the red curtain on the stage, lifted the corner of the curtain with her left hand, looked at the full audience, and swallowed a mouthful of saliva at the thought that she would perform on stage next.

Originally, she was dressed in white trousers, black flat cloth shoes, holding a red tasseled black gun in her right hand, plus a purple and black hair, it was just one word, perfect! But Joseph was jealous of her beauty, so he painted her a black and white makeup and put on a rose-gold mask——— people who didn't know saw her dressed like this, and thought she was singing!

Emily Dale looked down at the red pill in her left hand and recalled what Joseph said to her before she went on stage: "Eat it before you go on the court, keep you first!" ”

Belch...... Does it really work? Emily Dyer thought to herself. She has not been very good since she was a child, and she is tired to death after running a thousand meters, and now she is allowed to dance on stage......

"Next, let's use warm applause to welcome Emily Dale from Class X of Grade X to bring us "Chopping Immortals"!" (Moderator)

Never mind! Dead horses as live horse doctors!

Emily Dale covered her mouth with her left hand and swallowed the red pill in one gulp, closed her eyes and took a deep breath while holding the barrel of the gun with her right hand, lifted the curtain and walked quickly to the center of the stage. The moment she opened her eyes and saw the audience, she regretted it. Although I knew how many people would sit in the auditorium of the Joy Opera House, I was still panicked when I stood on the stage and faced the crowd.

Gentleman under the moon sitting in the front row. Joseph smiled and waved his left hand at her, and said something as if he were saying "Good luck."

Make your heart come to mind! Emily Dale looked at Joseph and thought to herself as the corners of her mouth twitched.

The music prelude sounded, and as soon as she listened, oh my! It's really singing!

Emily Dale glanced at the audience from right to left, then clasped her hands into fists and saluted.

Sitting in the first row, Dian Bai is closing his eyes and recuperating. Hasta suddenly opened his blood-red eyes and stared straight at her; Joseph on the side smiled and said, "You're here." ”

Emily Dale held the red tassel black gun, and as the accompaniment officially began, she sang a tune she had never heard before:

"Days, one for September; I want to become a demon and kill immortals.

Drunk years, flowers bloom and fall, who reads Benjun crying?

In life and death, how many years ——— the storm and storm?

I want to go back by the wind, but I am afraid of Qionglou Yuyu, drunk and laughing in the world, only I am awake! I see you as you did back then, better than peach blossoms and willow spring, now marvel, your face, woohoo!

……”

What's the situation!?

Emily Dale was stunned. She can't control her body now, she can only watch, and she can't even speak.

The first time and space, the human realm, a certain latitude of time.

In a courtyard, two black and white afterimages flashed, and Dongfeng Yao and the two appeared in front of the almost "bald" peach blossom tree. DONG Yao. Xie Bi'an turned his head to look at the courtyard, the wooden house stream peach blossom trees, faintly smelling the piano, forming a beautiful scenery; The autumn breeze passed, the petals fell, and the ripples appeared, and I felt very sad.

DONG Yao. Fan Wuyi approached the house and was about to speak, but was far away by the east wind. Xie Bi'an shook his head to stop.

"No blame, play for me!" DONG Yao. Xie Bi'an took three steps forward, and as soon as he held his right hand, the soul-calming white umbrella appeared in his hand.

Fan Wuyi nodded, took out a jade flute in his left hand, and then blew it.

DONG Yao. Xie Bi'an closed his eyes and opened them again, and what he saw was no longer a wooden house, a stream, and a peach blossom tree, but an auditorium full of people. He glanced at the audience from right to left. The first row of the Dian Bai. Hasta stared at him intently, and Joseph, who was next to him, said with a smile on his face, "You're here." ”

That's right, it was all arranged by Joseph. He first exchanged the hourglass of time for Xie Bi'an's dance, and then asked Emily Dale to take the red pill to facilitate his movements and expressions to be consistent with Xie Bi'an.

DONG Yao. Xie Bi'an looked down at the red tasseled black spear in his white and tender right hand, and listened to Dongfeng Yao. Fan Wuyi blew out the tune and the sound of the piano came from the house, waving and singing:

"Days, one for September; I want to become a demon and kill immortals.

Drunk years, flowers bloom and fall, who reads Benjun crying?

In life and death, how many years ——— the storm and storm?

I want to go back by the wind, but I am afraid of Qionglou Yuyu, drunk and laughing in the world, only I am awake! I see you as you did back then, better than peach blossoms and willow spring, now marvel, your face, woohoo!

The remnant snow falls like a fairy for thousands of years, the willow is drunk and admires the full moon alone, I look up at the falling snow, recalling the past, when can the person in the dream pour a cup?

days, one for September; I want to become a demon and kill immortals.

Drunk years, flowers bloom and fall, who reads Benjun crying?

In life and death, how many years ——— the storm and storm?

I want to go back by the wind, but I am afraid of Qionglou Yuyu, drunk and laughing in the world, only I am awake! I see you as you did back then, better than peach blossoms and willow spring, now marvel, your face, woohoo!

A flash in the pan is more than the favor of the sky, Xiao Feng is full of moon, the long night is wet and has no intention of sleeping, lying on the seat and looking at the moon Si Jiaxian, when can the person in the dream pour a cup?

The love of orchids is like water, startled Hongtan for all eternity, the nine doors of the long night do not return for a long time, the beginning of the red Chu is still returning, who does you remember? The best of years! ”

The door of the house was pushed open, and the crane. Michiko stood at the threshold, with both hands holding fans in front of her abdomen, looking at Dongfeng Yao and the others expressionlessly, looking thoughtful.

＊

There was a round of applause in the opera house. Emily Dale looked blankly at the smiling Joseph sitting in the front row, then turned and walked behind the curtain.

＊

DONG Yao. Xie Bi'an opened his eyes and looked at the crane. Michiko, a smile squeezed out of her pale face. He asked softly, "Do you remember?" ”

The crane pondered for a moment and shook his head.

The atmosphere became silent.

The two looked at each other silently. After a while, the east wind is far away. Xie Bi'an sighed lightly, and then said, "Let's go!" With that, he turned and walked away.

DONG Yao. Fan Wuyi glanced at the crane and turned to follow.

The crane looked at the two backs that flickered and disappeared, and silently shed a tear for some reason.

As soon as Emily Dale went behind the scenes, she closed her eyes and collapsed before the other classmates could gather around her.

Everyone was in a hurry.

Joseph came to her side and crouched down and carried her princess to the couch. I felt that my hands were sticky, and when I looked down, it was a red and white unknown liquid——— it should be that the makeup on her face was washed down by tears.

Joseph was stunned for a moment, and then sighed softly.

She doesn't cry easily, presumably he is crying.
