When I woke up, I was already outside the Tower of Eternal Life.

Sitting on the ground, leaning on the wooden body of the Immortal Tower, I raised my eyes to see the bright moon hanging in the sky.

"The moonlight is so beautiful tonight."

Senior brother sat beside me and said lightly.

I hummed and watched as quietly as he did.

Then I heard him ask, "Is this the solution?" ”

Turning his head to look at him, he saw that the senior brother took out something from the side and handed it to me: "I'm sorry, I don't know if I should take it out or not, but I always feel that Princess Hanji shouldn't stay in that place." ”

When I looked down, I saw that what the senior brother was holding in his hand was a dress, dark purple color, embroidered with intricate and gorgeous patterns, and it seemed to be wrapped in something.

I stared at it for a moment before reaching out and taking it, "Thank you." ”

"It's strange that after you unravel those curses, the princess's bones turned to powder in an instant, but you and I both know that she has only been dead for fifty years."

The senior brother smiled faintly and bitterly, looking a little gloomy.

I knew what he was thinking, and when he found out something like that, my brother's state of mind at this time must not be very comfortable.

The king, who has always been devoted to allegiance, has always adhered to what he firmly believes, and the truth will be like this.

Fifty years ago, someone killed his own sister, deceived the world, sealed her body at the bottom of the tower, and cursed her soul to fall into the abyss, ten lives and ten lifetimes, and never see the light of day.

This kind of thing, for the senior brother, is very difficult to accept for a while.

"Scarlet, you actually ...... these things"

The senior brother paused, as if he was afraid that his next words would offend me, so he hesitated: "You already knew, right?" ”

I froze for a moment, and I could only admit it, but I heard him say: "I mean, before you came to Shengjing and Fahua Temple, you already knew about the king and the princess." ”

I looked at him, and for a moment, I didn't know what to say.

Senior brother smiled faintly and bitterly: "I always feel that all these things are a little strange, as if I have been led by you all along." ”

Hearing this, I was silent for a moment before replying in a low voice, "Yes." ”

The senior brother looked into my eyes, as if waiting for my explanation, I avoided his gaze and said, "Before leaving, Master told me these things, and he asked me to come here to settle the enmity between the king and the princess. ”

"Master told you?"

The senior brother frowned slightly, as if he didn't quite believe it.

I hummed, with a sincere face, not revealing any flaws, and continued: "At that time, the master also served in the court, and it is not strange to know such a thing, all these years, he has been deeply disturbed, but he is afraid of revealing this matter and disappointing the king's favor, so he has been hesitating until now, and not long ago he made up his mind to inform me of this matter, and asked me to rescue the bones of Princess Hanji from the tower. ”

A serious remark, even I was almost deceived, and my brother has no reason not to believe it.

"Why has Master never told me anything like this?"

Senior Brother was slightly bitter, and said, "Is it just because I am an ordinary person, and you are a cultivator like Master?" ”

Seeing that he thought about it a lot, I couldn't help but sigh and said: "Master is also afraid that it will affect you in this arrangement, you know, it is taboo for all warlocks to involve ordinary people in the ghosts and ghosts, yin and yang affairs." ”

Senior brother didn't speak, and said after a long time: "On that day, I received a letter from you, saying that the master went on a long trip, and you also returned from training, and I felt bored in the master's gate, and I privately wondered if I could find something to do, so I invited you to come here. ”

I knew that my senior brother was blaming me for deliberately calculating him, so I could only say: "Senior brother, you also know that this matter involves the secrets of the royal family, and the king has always been more suspicious of warlocks than reuse. Through you, with the help of the power of the Fu family, entering the Hongwen Pavilion is a last resort for me. ”

As I spoke, I stood up, looked back at him, and said, "Just like I said just now, it is a wrongful and taboo for a warlock to involve ordinary people in the charm and evil spirits, yin and yang strange things, this time, if I wasn't sure that one person would unlock the Lin family's fierce curse, I wouldn't let you know about it, let alone bring you here." ”

"Scarlet, you still don't understand what I'm talking about."

Senior Brother sighed, raised his eyes, and said, "Do you think that when I say this, I am accusing Master of being biased and jealous of you?" ”

"Charm and spirit, yin and yang strange things, in my opinion, it doesn't matter if there is, it doesn't matter if there is nothing, I want to know this, but I want to know more about you, I want to know what you are thinking in your heart."

I was stunned, and then I heard my senior brother say softly: "Since I was a child, although you and I have been together, I always feel far away from you, I know that I am not good enough, such as cultivation techniques, I also don't know anything, I can't make you believe me completely...... However, even ordinary people have people he cares about, and for these people, he can do everything that seems impossible. ”

"You are my junior brother, and even more so my brother who intersects with life and death, you don't want me to have an accident, and the same is true for me."

Finally, he smiled faintly: "See you again this time, you told me some things that I would never mention before, and now that I think about it, although it may be ulterior motives, I am still very happy, those things, about warlocks, about other worlds, I have never been in contact with, and may never understand, but even so, I still want to see, the world I see in your eyes......"

Senior brother's words made me embarrassed, I didn't dare to look into his eyes, lowered my head, and said in a low voice: "I'm sorry......"

The senior brother smiled again, as if he was relieved: "This time it's over, you have to remember in the future, no matter what happens, don't treat me as an outsider." ”

I hummed, and then he asked, "Then, can you tell me that the baby in the king's palace was deliberately arranged by you?" ”

Although I really want to answer in order to dispel my brother's doubts, my body has reached the limit of patience.

The things hidden deep in the body have been affected by some fluctuations due to the influence of the evil curse, and they are now in a state of frenzy, and if I hadn't tried my best to suppress them, they would have escaped long ago.

I don't want to see me in my brother's eyes, it's like this, it's not about whether I want to share the risk with him, it's just that I don't want to look like a monster.

can only perfunctory: "Senior brother, I will tell you about this matter in the future, now that it is almost dawn, let's leave quickly, so as not to be discovered by the monks in the temple." ”

The senior brother didn't force it anymore, and we climbed over the courtyard wall one after the other, left the Fahua Temple, and found the woods where the horses were hidden.

I picked up the things in my hand, handed them to my senior brother and said, "Senior brother, there is something I want to entrust to you......"

But I thought that what I was holding in my hand at this time was the bones of Princess Hanji, and this kind of thing, if it was placed in the homes of ordinary people, would be too unlucky, so I fell silent again.

The senior brother saw what I meant, reached out and took the dress wrapped in the bones, and said, "I'll keep this for you first, and then tell me when you need it." ”

I lowered my head, thanked me, and said, "I still have some things to deal with, so you can leave first." ”

Senior Brother showed a displeased expression, thinking that I was going to do something again, trying to leave him behind, I smiled helplessly, and explained: "Although the evil curse of the Tenth Demon Tower has been solved, there are still some subtleties that need to be added, and this matter is completely over, you can rest assured, it is just a few small things, there will be no danger, I am safer by myself, and it is not easy to be discovered." ”

Senior brother looked at me for a while, and then said, "Okay, then you be careful, I'll go to the Hongwen Pavilion tomorrow to see you." ”

I hummed and said, "Princess Hanji's bones...... I'll leave it to you for the time being, and when you come tomorrow, I'll bring it with you. ”

The senior brother said hello, led the horse, and walked out of the woods, and I stood in the woods, looking at his back, and walked farther and farther.

When he was completely out of sight, he turned around, untied the reins from the tree, and was about to lead the horse, but the animal was more sensitive than a man, and I pulled it a few times, but it refused to follow me.

He kept shaking his head, trampling on the horse's hooves and standing in place, making a clattering sound, looking uneasy and afraid.

"Do you think I'm a monster?"

I couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Let's go, I don't want to hurt you." ”

Let go of the reins, turn away, and leave the horse alone in the woods, where will it go? I heard that the old horse knows the way, and he should return to the Fu family soon.

Heaven and earth are so big, under the sky, there are thousands of thousands of homes, and even a horse has its own home, but I don't know where I should go......

When I went down the hill, the streets were still empty.

Under the bright moon, I saw my own shadow.

It was as if a strange-shaped monster stretched out more than a dozen terrifying tentacles from its body, and they hovered in mid-air, as if beckoning to someone.

"Tan'er, Tan'er......"

They kept calling my name, like a mother waiting for her son to return, finally waiting for her son, confirming her joy over and over again.

"Please don't ...... like that"

I turned my head away from looking at the shadow on the ground and said, "I never thought of forcibly expelling you. ”

"Besides......" I smiled bitterly, "no matter what, even if I wanted to, I couldn't do it, wouldn't I?" ”

Still, those things called out to me, and from time to time they let out strange wild laughter, as if they were celebrating something mocking.

I walked into a deep alley, which looked abandoned for a long time, and was full of discarded debris.

I found a hidden place to hide, but when I looked up, I found that on the opposite wall, there was a silvery moonlight, in the darkness, it looked holy and clean, although it was faint and cold, but it gave people a bright hope.

I stared at it for a while before I pulled my lips and smiled, it seems that my brother is right, the moonlight tonight is beautiful.

I leaned against the wall, and my eyes skimmed over the high wall, and all I could see was a dark night sky and a few twinkling stars.

muttered: "The moonlight tonight is indeed beautiful......"
