But......

Closing his eyes and raising his head slightly, his appearance was as calm and plain as when he was alive, even if he was scarred, he couldn't hide it.

Huo Zhaohua didn't rush him, just waited silently, she believed that without saying more, she would make a choice, as before.

Always being able to make the right choice in a difficult situation is not as simple as wisdom, but more like a talent.

"Ahh

A soft sigh overflowed from his throat, and the depression in Yun Yeyao's heart slowly dissipated. He finally couldn't resist his lingering thoughts, and opened his eyes to look at the fire flower spirit again.

He opened his mouth, not knowing what to say, in fact, he was afraid that he would be lonely again in the end, so he didn't dare to speak.

Realizing that he was flinching, he folded between his eyebrows, and his eyes were slightly darkened.

From his reaction, Huo Zhaohua Ling's heart was already clear, but she didn't act immediately, but continued to wait for herself to speak.

"I ...... Want to see ......."

Half of his body turned to the side and lifted his face obliquely, and with the uninjured cheek facing the fiery red flower wall that covered the fire and flowers, he climbed into his calm eyes with anticipation and sadness.

The expression was just like the mind that he couldn't control at the beginning, but the difference was that there was no expectation in his eyes at that time.

"You're no longer a physical entity, and although you can still feel the grief and pain, it's just an illusion that the fire has brought you."

As the fire shines as the flower spirit speaks, a huge red fire flower gradually separates from the flowers and floats in front of it.

"Eat its flower roots, and you can have a mortal soul for a day."

Suspiciously, he pinched the fragile flower with his hand and looked at the silky roots underneath it.

"Remember, eat all the roots, don't leave a little, and then, the rest of the branches and flowers you have to hide in your arms, you can't damage them, it will have unexpected effects."

The fire shines and admonishes with a smile.

Nodding, he brought the flower root to his mouth, and immediately, a rich fragrance rushed into his nose, endured the discomfort caused by the fragrance, swallowed all the flower roots in his mouth in one go, and swallowed it raw without chewing.

"Then, come with me......"

After the last sentence of Huo Zhao Flower Spirit, he floated towards the void on the reverse side of the Santu River, and behind him, the transparent heroic soul that gradually appeared also floated......

Sun

Still sitting in front of the vanity mirror with a daze, her hands were slender and soft, and she was unconsciously resting on a pear blossom wood comb at the moment.

I didn't notice Chen Shen, who gently pushed the door in, and the sadness in his eyes seemed to overflow, but not a single tear fell.

Knowing her pain, when a person is in extreme pain, he can't shed tears, because tears have already flooded his heart.

has changed, but why has it changed, he doesn't dare or want to think about it, he is afraid of losing, and he is even more afraid of loneliness.

Without the thought of interrupting, he walked up behind her lightly and looked at the woman in the mirror.

This woman he has been interested in so far is now so beautiful and mature, and she is no longer the ignorant little girl in the Whampoa Military Academy.

In the memory, in the memory of the little bit good to her;

She is regretting, regretting why she didn't keep it;

She hated, hated her cowardice, hated her stupidity;

She was also looking forward to it, expecting the almost impossible miracle.

Until the end, he didn't really confess his heart to her, but himself, thinking, in her scarred heart:

If... If I did, would I not hesitate to say yes?

The answer is yes, and now I realize that I have already fallen in love with the man who has always guarded her and her companions wholeheartedly.

"Bicheng ......"

Chen Shen's hoarse voice came from behind him.

"Mountains and seas, he went..."

In an instant, he shuddered as if he had been hit hard, and tears that had been hidden for a long time burst out of his eyes, like pearls with broken threads.

Suddenly squatting down, he grabbed Xie Yunmeng's hands tightly, no longer hiding his burning thoughts:

"Bi, let me take care of you, I will definitely make you happy, this is also Shanhai's last wish."

He didn't know why he said that last sentence, but he suddenly felt that if he didn't say it again, he would never have a chance.

Mu Ran looked at the man in front of her, did not speak, his face could not stir up ripples in her eyes, he had been replaced by another chic and calm face.

Always treat her as before, that's undeniable.

But...... I've changed, no, I've changed a long time ago, but I didn't notice it for a long time.

In the merciless baptism of tears, Xie Yunmeng thought of meeting Yun Ye Yao for the last time.

There are heart-wrenching scars on his face, but he doesn't care, he can't tell the heart, and he can't forget the eyes that look at him deeply in his life.

A bright red Jiu Gui came from his hand, how much he hoped that he could hear Jiu Gui's heart at that time, but Yun Yeyao didn't say it, just said that she wanted her to be well.

"What a good thing!" Suddenly there was a resentment, "Without you, how can you let me be good?!" You're not responsible anymore, what are you going to do with me?! ”

The tone of her voice unconsciously raised, the pain in her heart almost drowned Xie Yunmeng, tears flowed in her eyes, and she shouted at Chen Shen: "I love you!" How can you die?! How can you leave me alone......"

Finally roared out his heart, collapsed and collapsed in an instant, and fell to the ground in his arms.

At this moment, in her eyes, this embrace has changed into another person's chest.

Curled himself up in it, desperately soaking in warmth and solace, crying loudly.

Her cry pierced Chen Shen's heart like a sharp thorn, and this ending also made Chen Shen feel painful, because he still lost it after all.

The two of them hugged each other like this for a long time, until Xie Yunmeng came to his senses a little.

Pushing Chen Shen away, Xie Yunmeng muttered: "You go, I want to be alone and quiet." ”

"......" wanted to try again, and he finally asked, "Give me a chance, okay?" It doesn't matter if you are a stand-in for him. ”

“…… No way," he shook his head, "because he gave me a truly vigorous love!" ”

Chapter 3: The Law of Redemption

Saw almost all of Xie Yunmeng's sadness and heard all her words of love. At this moment, if the transparent mortal soul standing in the corner of the room with the fire flower spirit had not been without tears, I am afraid that it would have been as tearful as the living people.

Looking at the sad but unhappy side face, Huo Zhaohualing asked, "What are you going to do?" ”

“…… Is there anything else I can do? Rhetorical question.

"Yes, it's just that the cost will be significant."

"Is it just me going to have to pay the price?"

Turning his face, he looked into the eyes of the flower spirit who was blinded by the flower branches, and did not ask what the price was, but asked a different question.

Huo Zhao Hua Ling knew his temperament, so he nodded.

In fact, if you change your fate, Yun Yeyao and Xie Yunmeng will come together, and Xie Yunmeng will have to pay no less than Yun Yeyao.

But this, Huo Zhaohua Ling will not tell Yun Ye Yao, because Yun Ye Yao never wants Xie Yunmeng to pay the price.

From a selfish point of view, Yun Yeyao's sacrifice Xie Yunmeng has to bear a lot of responsibility, so Huo Zhaohualing thought: It is also time for her to pay a little price.

Anything, too easy to get, will never be cherished, just like Yun Yeyao's care for Xie Yunmeng, until it is lost, it is too late to understand the importance.

"I'm going back!" Four simple words summarize Yun Yeyao's determination at this moment.

Huo Zhao Hualing didn't say anything, just gently took his hand and left the room.

Back to the Santu River, Huo Zhaohualing spoke again:

"You have to keep the mortal soul for a while, so that you can follow Bicheng every day, but remember, you have to come back every night to eat a fire flower root."

"I can't guarantee how long this period will be, the key is to see if Xie Yunmeng will save you once."

"How?" Yun Yeyao didn't understand.

"You have saved her too many times when you were in the mortal world, and if you want to live, you can only rely on the discovery and redemption of your lover."

"Xie Yunmeng's love for you now is enough, but she must have practical actions to redeem you."

"Is it dangerous to do this?"

"Then it depends on how you do it, remember, you can do it in any way, just let Xie Yunmeng feel that you are by her side and save you wholeheartedly. There is only one chance, and if you deliberately get her attention, you will only be separated forever. ”

"Okay, I see, but what about the price?"

"Once this life is over, you will serve the underworld forever and eternally, become the exorcist spirit of the underworld, and never return to the world."

Pursing his lips, Yun Yeyao's eyes were firm, and he didn't need to answer, his mind was already clear.

Huo Zhaohua smiled sadly and said, "How nice it would be if I were as lucky as you......

"Today, before twelve o'clock in the middle of the night, you can accompany your lover in the posture of a mortal soul, and you must remember that you must turn around on time at twelve o'clock in the middle of the night every day, otherwise, evil spirits will replace your body and mind, and you will lose your mind and kill innocents indiscriminately."

"I made a note of it."

After speaking, Yun Yeyao was anxious to leave.

"Wait......" The Fire Flower Spirit stopped him and continued, "Three months at most, mortal souls can last for up to three months, and within three months you must complete your task, otherwise, you will also become an exorcist spirit in the underworld." ”

Nodding, Yun Yeyao returned a grateful smile to the fire flower spirit, and floated away from the bank of the Santu River.

Leaving only the lonely fire flower spirit to taste loneliness alone......

Chapter 4: The love of yin and yang

Floating through the long road of fire, Yun Yeyao can be described as anxious, Xie Yunmeng's painful appearance and words just now have been hovering in his ears, lingering.

Yun Yeyao never thought that Xie Yunmeng would be able to fall in love with herself, before, she only had Chen Shen in her eyes, and Yun Yeyao thought that she could only be Chen Shen's shadow in this life.

Unexpectedly, in the end, it was Chen Shen who became his shadow.

Heaven is really too kind to him, don't say that he can't be reincarnated in life and life, even if he wants to enter purgatory, Tang Xiang just repeats it mechanically.

The chest was no longer bitter, and the scarred skin was no longer painful, dragging his legs as soft as cotton wool, reaching out and nervously tearing his clothes.

He felt an inexplicable heat suddenly begin to surround his body, rushing straight to his throat. The tip of the nose also smelled a strong foreign fragrance, lingering.

He didn't like the scent because it seemed to wake up the pain, to wake up something bad......

So reflexively repulsing, tearing clothes and shaking heads, but it is useless, and the fragrance is getting stronger and stronger.

Suddenly, stalling, he stood still, the nervousness and disorder in his face and eyes fading away. His eyes began to brighten, began to take on a sense of sorrow, and began to glow slightly.

The back gradually rose, and the crooked head slowly returned to its previous upright posture and lifted up, Yun Yeyao wanted to look around, but as soon as he moved, the broken bones on the side of his head and neck made an ugly protest sound, so he had to give up.

He remembered, remembered who Bicheng was, remembered how he died, and even remembered the reason for his death

He doesn't regret it, and it can be said that he never regrets it, even if he has become this ghost now.

"Huh...... Hell... Come to report ......" Wu Zi chuckled and greeted the empty space.

"We don't accept ghosts with names here."

Startled by an unexpected reply, he looked ahead despite the rattling skull and saw a long-haired woman smiling at him in the otherwise uninhabited space.

The girl stood far away, but her voice sounded like it was close at hand.

He tried to observe with his blurred vision, but he still couldn't see the woman's specific appearance, and from a distance, he felt that she should be beautiful.

Adhering to the practice of being alive, straighten up and let yourself pose as gentlemanly as possible.

Seeing him like this, the woman covered her mouth and smiled, and said: "A gentleman like a pine and cypress, a guardian who loves and hates clearly, and a warrior who fights for the dream of his family and country, is worthy of admiration." ”

"......" didn't quite understand what the woman meant, so he continued to be silent, but his eyes gradually narrowed.

The woman continued as if talking to herself: "Is it worth it now that you think about it? Do you do this for your growth and happiness? It's like I'm going to be happy to be fulfilled. Is it really worth it? The voice gradually deepened, and the long-haired woman lowered her head, which she couldn't see clearly, and muttered, "They don't love us, so why should we love them?" Now that I think about it,"

“？！ You are......? Interrupting the woman's words with a sudden question, he walked quickly towards the woman, as if anxious to confirm the woman's identity. However, as soon as he took a few steps, he was stopped by a fiery red in front of him.

The flowers on the other side of the road, which bloomed on both sides of the road, grew as quickly as if consciously, and stopped in front of him, preventing him from approaching the woman.

"Don't come here, you can't see my eyes clearly, otherwise you won't be able to go back, the Santu River is not the place you should come to."

"......, is that you?" There was no shock in his eyes, and although he had a lot of questions, in the end, he just asked calmly.

"It doesn't exist anymore, I am the spirit of the fire, a long, long time ago, I volunteered to bloom on the side of the Yellow Spring Road, leading the way for the ghosts who came and went, and later, the demons took pity on me, and allowed me to be reincarnated in the world, I thought it would bring back a wonderful and sweet return, but I never wanted to bring back only a place of pain and sorrow...... You see, the petals of the fire have also become frustrated by my grief, and they are no longer the same......"

"We just did what we had to do, in troubled times, no one can be alone, Chen Shen and Bicheng are the same, in the future, the battles and tribulations they will have to go through will be more severe and even cruel, so I feel that I am lucky." In this way, there are no ups and downs, not even a strong sense of sadness.

"Is there really no regret?" Huo Zhaohua Ling asked.

"Nope!" What I got was a firm answer.

Out of sight, the fire flower spirit smiled again, this time without sadness, but with a sweet smile, as if she had heard the most beautiful music in the world. The fiery red petals of the fire are also more fragrant and fragrant because of this smile, which is refreshing.

"You're a gentleman! In this way, I will not love you in vain. ”

"What did you say?!" His plain eyes were dyed with surprise.

"I said, you don't deserve to die, you should listen to Chen Shen's words, because you will impulsively take revenge because of this, you have always known her nature, haven't you?"

"No, you're wrong, no, there's a more important person in her eyes" When he said the second half of the sentence, he could clearly hear his heartbreak, but he forcibly ignored it. To continue:

"No one will take revenge, I am just a gravel in troubled times, and it is not a pity to die......"

"And do you want to see what happens after you die?" The fire flower spirit was still hiding behind the petals, and her voice still sounded so clear, as if she was alive.

There was no answer, hesitating, thinking, and a kind of vague expectation slowly rose in his heart, like a lit candle. But I don't want it to ignite and I don't want it to ignite.
