Volume 2: Forgetting Worries (Finale)
forty-six
"Since both of them let each other accept 'forget worries', why haven't they forgotten the past, but have fallen into the current situation?!" The old man in the linen robe got up and pounced on Ruoxuan, grabbed Ruoxuan's shirt and roared angrily, his eyes were split. His bloodshot eyes were full of incomprehension and resentment, and his body was full of demons.
Seeing this, Lian Xi was worried that he would make a move that would be unfavorable to Ruoxuan, so she waved her sleeves to create a verdant brilliance, and was about to make a move to repel the old man, but was stopped by Ruoxuan with a wave of her hand.
"Huh...... Both of them are self-reliant, trying to decide for each other whether to leave or leave their memories. However, everyone has the right and responsibility to make their own choices, and they also have to bear the corresponding consequences, which is karma. ”
"No matter what the hardships are, you have no right to make decisions for others, otherwise you will only mess up cause and effect. Therefore, what I gave to the two of them was just ordinary wine dew, not really 'forgetting worries'. Ruoxuan sighed, and there was a trace of helplessness and compassion in his eyes, and he opened his mouth to respond to the old man's doubts.
"On the day Your Excellency came to me, I asked you to promise me two conditions. One is to ask the two of them to come to me in person to ask for 'forget their worries' instead of directly handing it over to you, and the second is to ask you to leave for the time being after entrusting the two of them to the dream. This move is also to let the two of them think clearly and make a choice to see me again later, and also to prevent you from forcibly intervening in this matter and letting them take the 'forget worries' without authorization. ”
"However, what I didn't expect was that the two of them did not come to ask for spiritual wine in order to forget their love and hate, but to let each other take 'forget their worries'. So I changed my mind and gave the two of them a regular wine dew. ”
Indeed, Ruoxuan would only give everyone who came to seek the Great Dao Spirit Wine a chance to choose, but he would never interfere with the choice of the seeker, nor would he change the corresponding consequences. Treating Xue Yi like this, and it has been like this for thousands of years, this is Ruoxuan's principle and bottom line.
"But as I said, the three of you have misguessed each other's intentions."
After hearing this, the old man loosened Ruoxuan's clothes, calmed down, and the surging demonic qi around him also hibernated.
"We ...... Are you all wrong? What do you mean......
......

"We've all guessed each other's intentions wrong?" The old man in the linen robe looked at Ruoxuan in a daze.
"Exactly." Ruoxuan looked at the two people in front of the martyrdom and the stake, his eyes showing compassion.
"What do you mean by that?"
The resentment in Xiao Yuan's heart has long dissipated, and only the guilt and self-blame for Zhi'er remain. But she mistakenly thought that Zhi'er practiced every day and carved a knife mark on the stake because she couldn't let go of the revenge of killing her father, and she still held a grudge. originally planned to die under Zhi'er's sword after the expiration of one year, so that Zhi'er could take revenge. ”
"After getting the 'forget worries', Xiao Yuan made a temporary decision to let Zhi'er forget her love and hatred for herself, so as to avoid the pain of guilt and hatred for the rest of her life, and kill herself in front of the stake to make up for the guilt of Zhi'er."
Zhi'er had already let go of her grudges, but she mistakenly thought that Xiao Yuan was ruined by her father, and she must still hold a grudge, but she suppressed the ruthlessness in her heart with love, and forced her to smile and barely survive. originally planned to leave alone after the one-year period expired to relieve Xiao Yuan's burden.
"After Zhi'er got the 'Forget Worries', she also temporarily changed her mind, and asked Xiao Yuan to take the 'Forget Worries', forget the past grudges, carry all the secrets by herself, accompany him to start over with him, and stay together for a lifetime. And the knife mark engraved on the stake is to calculate the time of his departure and remember the death date of his father Cheng Cheng. ”
"And Your Excellency mistakenly thinks that the period of the year is approaching, and the two of them will face each other with swords, and one must die before the grudge can be settled. So he came to me to ask for spiritual wine to 'forget his worries', trying to make the two forget their grudges and prevent them from killing each other. never thought that it would eventually lead to the death of both of them. ”
"As the saying goes, if you care, you will be chaotic. You don't want the two of them to kill each other, so you came to me and wanted to change the outcome on your own. Xiao Yuan and Zhi'er should have revealed their hearts to each other a long time ago, but they were worried that mentioning the past would cause oppression and harm to each other, and it was difficult to talk about it, and the enmity between the two Cheng Liao families became an insurmountable estrangement between the two, so that the misunderstanding has not been resolved. ”
"As I said, everyone has the right and responsibility to make their own choices, and no matter what their intentions are, they should not forcibly interfere with the choices of others. If there is no spirit wine to 'forget worries', at the end of the year, Zhi'er will leave alone, and Xiao Yuan will not die under Zhi'er's sword, although the two will each spend the rest of their lives with remorse, but at least they will not die here. It was Your Excellency's forcible intervention in the affairs of the two of them, confusing the cause and effect, that caused the tragedy of the two. ”
"But if you give them the real 'forget of worries', the two of them will let each other obey, and they won't die!" The old man in the hemp robe was still puzzled, and the resentment against Ruoxuan in his heart was accumulating more and more.
"If they seek 'forget their worries' for themselves and choose to forget love and hate, then the grievances between the Cheng Liao family will bear fruit, and I will naturally give them the real 'forget worries'. But they are trying to make each other obey, if they take the real 'forget worries', then the two are forced to forget, and the enmity between the two families only has cause and effect, and I disrupted this cause and effect, which is too wide. ”
Select ...... Causally...... Hahahaha...... Woo woo woo ......" The old man in the linen robe muttered to himself in distraction, and finally had an epiphany of the meaning of Ruoxuan's words, knelt on the ground, suddenly went crazy, and suddenly cried.

"Venerable Shengqing, the evil consequences now are indeed caused by me, so did the two of them save my life at the beginning, but have they also become fruitless?" The old man in the hemp robe calmed down and asked Ruoxuan gloomily.
"That's true." Ruo Xuan frowned and returned, not knowing what his intentions were.
"That little demon, I beg the Heavenly Venerable to give me the true 'forgetting of worries'. Rest assured, now that the little demon has had an epiphany, he will no longer do stupid things and disrupt cause and effect. The little demon just wants to correct the cause and effect, make up for the mistakes, and give the two of them another chance to choose, so as to repay the two for saving their lives. ”
"Your Excellency wants to ......"
"Exactly." The old man in the linen robe got up slowly, and took the jade bottle containing 'forget worries' from Ruoxuan's hand with both hands.
I saw him walking next to the bodies of Cheng Xiao and the others, making them lie on their backs on the ground, and then tidy up a little.
When everything was in order, he raised his hand and put it over his eyes, his face full of determination.
I saw that the old man in the linen robe suddenly had bruises on his face, and the intense pain made his whole body tremble slightly. Thousands of golden rays of light spilled from his fingers. With both hands wiped, two balls of golden brilliance peeled off from their eyes, floated towards Xiao Yuan and Zhi'er on the ground, and slowly merged into their bodies from their chests.
Suddenly, the corpses of the two were full of gold, and the pool of scarlet blood flowing on the ground quickly shrank, flowing back into the bodies of the two, and the knife on the neck healed as before in the blink of an eye, leaving no traces.
The vitality of the two people on the ground quickly recovered, and they slowly breathed.
The old man in Mai, whose body is the ornament on the chariot of Emperor Xuanyuan, is cast by the divine iron descended from the sky, and is blessed by the cultivation of the five emperors, and the majestic divine power is all gathered in the eyes, although in the accident of the 'platform of the emperors' ten years ago, most of it was seized by the mysterious red-clothed figure, but the remaining divine power is still enough to bring Xiao Yuan and Cheng Zhi'er back to life.
The old man in the linen robe withdrew his supernatural powers, and his golden body was restrained. I saw that his breathing was heavy, and his eyes had turned into two dark hollows. Sensing that Cheng Xiao and the others gradually regained their vitality, the old man's face was full of relief.
"At the cost of your eyes, you used the remaining divine power around you to resurrect Cheng Xiao and the others. Without the divine resistance, from now on, your body will be continuously eroded by the Demon Qi, and you may face endless pursuit and crusade from the Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals. Ruoxuan couldn't bear it in his heart, and reminded him, but he was helpless. Jin Luanmu has been integrated into the flesh and blood of the two of them, and they can no longer be retrieved.
"It's okay, as long as you can save the lives of the two of them, the little demon will not hesitate. The little demon really couldn't bear it, and saw the two of them die with a misunderstanding. From now on, I will leave them and stop disturbing their lives. As for the fate of the two of them in the future, as His Holiness said, it is up to the two of them to decide. The old man in the linen robe tore off a cloth belt from his own robe and blindfolded his empty eyes, and his figure slowly dissipated into the air, leaving only a long sigh.
"Lian Xi, let's go back, the future of the three of them is not something we should interfere with." Ruo Xuan looked at the place where the old man's figure dissipated, and spontaneously felt respect in his heart, and he shook the air slightly, and then walked away against the wind.
In the courtyard of the thatched hut, there are Cheng Xiao and the others who have returned to silence, leaving only the golden mangs on the ground gradually converging.
Cheng Xiao and the others lay calmly in the courtyard, their breath gradually stabilized from faint, and their pulses began to beat out, as if they were just lying on the ground and sleeping.
Next to the two of them, there is a transparent jade bottle, on which is engraved the words: "forget worries"......
......

"Master, what do you say, what choice will Xiao Yuan and Cheng Zhi'er make after they wake up?" As soon as she returned to Lu Yao Pavilion, Lian Xi couldn't help but ask Ruoxuan a question.
"It's not something I can care about, and with the wisdom of the two of them, it's not hard to figure out the reason for the incident when you wake up. At the very least, they will untie each other's knots because of this experience. As for the future, whether to let go of the guilt and stay together for the rest of his life, or forget each other's destiny, it is up to the two of them to choose. Ruoxuan looked at the gossip and good things in Lianxi's eyes, held back a smile, gently stroked Lianxi's head, and walked to the inner hall with his hand.
"Hey, it's really a trick. I hope the two of them can be together well, after all, it is not easy to fall in love with each other. ”
Lian Xi's eyes quietly looked at Ruoxuan's departing back, and she felt a little lost.
Just as Lian Xi was secretly thinking to herself, Ruo Xuan suddenly turned around, waved his sleeves and sent out a wave of light purple qi, pushing Lian Xi back two steps.
A black shadow fell from the sky and fell to the place where Lian Xi had originally stood.
Ruoxuan looked up at the sky, his eyebrows furrowed as if he was facing a great enemy, but the strong demonic qi that had suddenly appeared and permeated the clouds quickly dissipated, and there was no trace of it.
Looking down at the things that fell down, it turned out to be the old man in the linen robe who was supposed to leave.
Ruo Xuan stepped forward to take a look, only to see that the old man in the linen robe was exhausted all over his body, and all the qi and blood around his body were extracted out of thin air.
"Back then...... The one who destroyed the Demon Sealing Array...... Again...... appeared...... This person is no small ...... His Holiness should remember...... Be careful with ......"
The old man in the linen robe tried his best to spit out the last warning, and then he lost his life and no longer breathed. Jin Luan, who endured tens of millions of years of loneliness and guarded the "platform of the emperors", in exchange for the hidden demons and the peace of the world. Now he died unexpectedly, and ended up in such a desolate end.
Ruoxuan put down the old man's hand and got up to look up at the sky, with a little suppressed anger in his eyes.
"'Demon Lord', are you demonstrating and provoking my Holy Pure Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable?!"
