Chapter 35: Zhong's Death
In the end, he still couldn't hear his answer, and just like that, with that carefully cherished feeling, his soul returned to the netherworld.
Warm tears rolled down from Zhong Xuanjue's eyes and splashed on Zhong Yili's face, but he couldn't startle a trace of temperature, too much of the past was replayed in his mind, and it was everything he remembered about him.
"Brother, why doesn't Yili look like my brother at all?"
"My brother's arms must be the warmest in the world!"
"As long as Yili has his brother by his side, he will never be afraid."
"Brother, behold, Yili slew them all, so that my brother would not die."
"Brother, don't you want to escape?"
"Brother, run away, flee to the ends of the earth, but no matter where you flee, I will definitely find you."
"Brother, do you know why this snow lotus is red? It represents the one who loves with his own life, watered with blood, and the loved one will never wither until he dies......"
"Brother, why did you leave me?"
"Brother, don't be afraid, Yili is here to save you."
"Nope! Brother, you can't die! ”
"Let's go! Don't look back! ”
"Brother, hurry, go!"
"Brother!"
"Brother......
Scene by scene.
Knife by knife.
"Yili ......" hugged the increasingly cold person in his arms tightly, Zhong Xuanjue's heart hurt as if it had been torn apart, "Ah——! He raised his head and shouted bitterly to the sky, and there was not a single echo from the empty mountaintop, lonely, empty, and with his heart, empty.
The whiteness of the snow under his feet spread between Zhong Xuanjue's hair, and he restored his black hair under the secret method, and in the blink of an eye, it turned white again, white crystalline, and white transparent, like glass, it looked so fragile.
Shatter at the touch of a button.
Aoi Fen'er walked over and stood behind him, "Sorry, I'm still late...... This red snow lotus may still be effective for you, so you can take it. She handed over the red snow lotus in her hand, and couldn't bear to look at the lifeless boy in his arms.
Zhong Xuanjue didn't make a move, he looked at the boundless sky, Le Zheng Ancestor died, the poisonous array of the South Styx Mountain disappeared, and the dense fog quickly dispersed.
"Your Excellency the Magic Doctor, Zhong Xuanjue, the orphan of the Zhong family, thank you for your help in the past few days, I am very grateful." Zhong Xuanjue hugged Zhong Yili's body and stood up hard, "From now on, the Zhong family has no descendants, and Your Excellency's kindness is destined to be unrepaid, so you will no longer be able to receive your favor." ”
He swayed and took Zhong Yili and walked to the edge of the cliff step by step.
"Zhong Xuanjue!" Kwai had a bad premonition, "What are you going to do?!" ”
Zhong Xuanjue stood at the very edge of the cliff, his already weak body, swaying in the wind on the top of the mountain, "Your Excellency doesn't have to save me anymore, I am also a doctor, I know my current condition." ”
"Your Excellency Kwai Fan'er, the misfortune of the Zhong family does not need to continue, let's end it from our generation." Zhong Xuanjue chuckled at Kwai Fan'er, the snow-white green silk was scattered in the wind, and he fell into the abyss behind him with that relieved smile.
"Zhong Xuanjue!"
The cold wind blew by, Zhong Xuanjue quietly looked at the white clouds and blue sky in front of him, and watched his snow-like hair flying.
He hugged the man in his arms and closed his eyes gently.
Chung's tragedy is over.
A few years ago, in the Zhong Mansion, a family of medicine in Yunqiguo, Zhong Xuanjue, who was still young, studied medicine seriously under the guidance of his father Zhong Lingshi.
Unlike ordinary people, the father and son have green hair that is snow-colored, and the snow-white one does not have a trace of variegation.
"Father, your medical skills are so high, why can't you cure our gray hair?" Zhong Xuanjue looked up at his father.
Zhong Lingshi's face turned pale, he put down the scroll in his hand, looked at Zhong Xuanjue and chuckled softly, "Healers don't heal themselves, our Zhong family, since our ancestors created and killed many years ago, we have been suffering from this disease for generations, this is our debt to be repaid, and we ourselves will never be able to cure this disease." ”
"Why should the sins created by the ancestors be repaid by the hereafter?" Zhong Xuanjue looked at the hair hanging down on his chest, "Jue'er doesn't like this white hair, and my classmates in the academy say I'm a monster." ”
"......" Zhong Lingshi lowered his eyes a little sadly when he heard this, he reached out and rubbed Zhong Xuanjue's head, "I'm sorry, Jue'er." ”
Zhong Xuanjue didn't understand it even more, "Why does my father apologize to Jue'er?" ”
"Trick." A woman led another young man and walked in from outside the door, "How is the medical study today?" ”
"Mother, escape, you're back." Zhong Xuanjue put down the ink pen in his hand and greeted the two of them.
"Brother~" The young Zhong Yili smiled innocently.
is different from Zhong Lingshi and Zhong Xuanjue, Liu Xiangyue and Zhong Yili are three thousand green silks, which are exactly the appearance of ordinary people.
Zhong Xuanjue learned from his father, reached out and rubbed Zhong Yili's head, "Yili has grown taller again today." ”
Zhong Yili happily threw himself into Zhong Xuanjue's arms, "Yili is as tall as his brother~"
"Ah Yue," Zhong Lingshi stood up and shook from weakness, "you come with me." ”
Liu Xiangyue helped Zhong Lingshi to leave here, and Zhong Xuanjue and Zhong Yili also ran out of the room and went to play in the courtyard together.
While playing, Zhong Yili inadvertently hid outside the window of Zhong Lingshi's room and heard what he had always thought of as "parents".
"Lingshi, everything you need is almost ready." It was Liu Xiangyue's voice.
A cough sounded in the house, and Zhong Lingshi's health seemed to be getting worse and worse, "In another three years, when Yili can stand alone, although he is not our child, he can still inherit the mantle of the Zhong family, and when that time comes, let's do it again......"
“…… Is this really the only way? Liu Xiangyue seemed to be unbearable.
"Neither they nor we can afford to bear the sin of the destruction of the world, but the sacrifice of Jue'er can save tens of millions of Li people, this is the only way......"
Zhong Yili was stunned, he understood their conversation, and his young heart was shattered and distorted at that moment.
He is not their child, they are not his real parents, and they are going to send his favorite brother to Yellow Springs with their own hands.
No, he won't allow it, he can do without his parents, but he must not lose his brother!
Zhong Yili knew that he didn't have enough ability to protect Zhong Xuanjue at this time, so in the next three years, he studied medical skills seriously, and secretly learned the art of poison Gu, planting Gu for the people in Zhong's mansion.
He figured out the cause and effect of the matter, and also knew the so-called righteousness of those people, they clearly wanted to let his brother bear all the white-haired curses, and then kill him, so that the curse of the Zhong family's gray-haired and early death from generation to generation would no longer be there, and they would be able to live for the rest of their lives in the future!
On that day, when the Zhong family and his wife were about to take Zhong Xuanjue to the Yunqi Kingdom Palace, he urged those poisonous Gu that had been parasitic for many years, killing more than 20 people in the entire Zhong Mansion.
Only Zhong Xuanjue and him survived.
The blood of sin woke Zhong Yili up, and he completely collapsed at that moment, and the only thing that supported his sanity was Zhong Xuanjue.
"Brother, behold, Yili has slain them all, so that my brother will not die!" Zhong Yili laughed wildly, "They're all dead, no one will hurt you anymore, let's go, get out of here." ”
Zhong Xuanjue knelt in a pool of blood in horror, he looked at Zhong Yili, as if it was not his younger brother, but a devil, a bloodthirsty and ruthless devil.
"Brother, let's go together." Zhong Yili walked over and wanted to take his hand, but he was frightened and avoided him, he was afraid of him and resisted him, but why, he obviously protected him!
"They want to kill you! They are obviously your brother and your parents, but they want to kill you, they must die, I can only protect you by killing them! Zhong Yili was furious, he frantically pushed, overturned, and smashed everything around him, and vented frantically.
"How could my father and mother want to hurt me, they are also your parents......" Zhong Xuanjue looked at him in disbelief.
"They aren't!" Zhong Yili roared angrily, "They are not, brother, you are their child, I am not, I am just a tool picked up by them." ”
He suddenly burst into tears, knelt in front of Zhong Xuanjue and hugged him, "Brother...... I can't lose you, no matter what, no one will hurt you......"
"......" Zhong Xuanjue looked at the corpses all over the place with dead eyes, he took out the silver needle and put it against Zhong Yili somewhere behind his neck, warm tears dripped in his neck socket, his hand trembled, and when the silver needle pierced, it was still half an inch off after all.
He fled, fleeing alone, with his blood stained in his clothes, with lingering fear and despair.
When Zhong Yili woke up, Zhong Xuanjue was gone, and the needle made him fall into a coma, and when he was unconscious, the person he was thinking about had already fled from his side.
"Brother!!" Zhong Yili shed tears and shouted sadly, but he didn't get any response, "Brother, don't you want to escape......
He finally decided to go to his brother, no matter how big the world was.
Before leaving, Zhong Yili set fire and personally burned the Zhong Mansion, along with the corpses in the courtyard, all of which were reduced to ashes behind him.
Since then, the government announced that the Zhong family was destroyed, but after the Yunqi Emperor sent someone to investigate, he learned that the Zhong family still had two juniors missing, so he ordered to search for the two brothers throughout the country, but to no avail, and then the matter was closed.
No one knows where the last bloodline of the Zhong family went, and no one knows why the Zhong family was tragically destroyed, and who did it.
The reason why the puzzle is called a puzzle is because no one can solve it, and the reason why no one can solve it is because no one knows why.
Just like Zhong Lingshi was cursed by that terminal illness, he would have died soon, and Zhong's descendants will be like this for generations, and Zhong Xuanjue will not live to be forty years old.
Zhong Lingshi and Liu Xiangyue wanted to put an end to Zhong's tragedy, so they chose to sacrifice Zhong Xuanjue, make him suffer all the curses of gray hair, and use him as a sacrifice to be permanently frozen in the Yin Yang Tomb.
And Zhong Xuanjue didn't know about this plan, as a parent, it must be cruel and selfish to send his parents and children into the eternal ice that is no different from death.
