Chapter Twenty-Three: Renunciation, and Another Kind of Sacrifice......
"...... Emperor?"
Chu Lie's body trembled slightly, the title of Sun Wukong made him have an extremely ominous premonition in his heart, Sun Wukong glanced at him with a little apology, but the Ruyi golden hoop stick in his hand was not put down at all, he couldn't bear it in his heart, but he still restrained his eyebrows, and said:
"The Emperor of the Southern Heavenly Realm, Xi Ya, once beheaded the body of the Southern Vermilion Bird, and was in charge of the sea of blood."
"Xi Ya...... No, I said, Wukong, is there something wrong? ”
"You put your weapon down first......"
Chu Lie's face turned pale, his head buzzed as if he had been hit hard, even he didn't know how flustered he was now, he stepped directly between the girl and Sun Wukong, raised his hand and pressed it on the Ruyi golden hoop stick, and his gentle smile became a little pale:
"Goku...... Put it down......"
“…… Chu Lie. ”
Sun Wukong looked at his friend in front of him, and felt a little unbearable, but the calm girl in front of him was enough to make him ignite all his anger, the golden hoop stick in his hand seemed to have taken root, and he couldn't put it down at all, and at this time, Chu Lie seemed to understand Sun Wukong's thoughts, the palm holding the golden hoop stick stabilized, his eyebrows lowered, he put Tang Xuanzang down gently, and slowly walked in the direction of Xi Ya, his right hand trembled, and slowly raised the Dawn Holy Sword with the scabbard attached.
He remembered what happened to him on his first hunting tour when he was young, and he remembered his problem......
What if one day Alicia is a foreign race and an enemy?
There was a hint of surprise in Sun Wukong's eyes, and the black-haired girl was calm when she watched Sun Wukong grow her majesty before, but her hanging palms clenched unconsciously.
Click-
The right hand raised the Dawn Holy Sword and placed it directly on the girl's shoulder, the latter's body trembled slightly, and the light in her eyes dimmed, but at this moment, a soft force pushed her back a step, and a figure stopped directly in front of her, her temples were white, and she was dressed in a long robe, Chu Lie blocked in front of her old friend, and her warm eyes were like a sharp sword out of the sheath, full of Sen Rui.
With one hand raised, he held the wishful golden hoop stick in front of him.
"Chu Lie, what are you going to do?!"
Sun Wukong's eyes widened, and he couldn't help but scold, but Chu Lie chuckled lowly, recalled the idea he made back then, and said in a complicated way:
"Repentance......"
"If you're going to kill her, you're going to have to do it with me first, Wukong."
In a calm and smiling voice, Chu Lie's right hand fingers lightly pressed on the sword grid of the Dawn Holy Sword, and the sharp cold light appeared on the holy sword that had been sealed for seven years, causing Sun Wukong's palm holding the Ruyi Golden Hoop Stick to clench suddenly, and a look of disbelief appeared in his eyes.
Chu Lie smiled at Sun Wukong again and said, "Now that you have resumed your cultivation, my life will be over, and the war will have nothing to do with me in the future." ”
The long sword in his palm was withdrawn, Chu Lie turned around and directly exposed his back in front of Sun Wukong's iron rod, took the initiative to take Xi Ya's palm, walked towards the rear, borrowed the girl's power and directly turned into a ray of light and rose to the sky without knowing where to go, leaving Sun Wukong standing alone in place, his face full of anger and helplessness, the long stick in his hand slammed the ground, and the ground collapsed heavily when he landed.
"Idiot!"
……………………………………………………………………
Chu Lie ...... We, where to ......"
Xi Ya and Chu Lie set up a retreat, looked at the tight face, and asked with a little hesitation, Chu Lie's expression remained unchanged, but he paused in the void, turned around in the void, held the soft palm of the girl's fair-skinned man and shook it hard, and said:
"Come with me...... Xi Ya. ”
"What kind of war between heaven and earth, what kind of battle of the avenue, don't care about it all, come with me...... Let's get out of those guys and go somewhere no one else can find and come with me...... Leave all the past behind! ”
The girl was stunned, her clear eyes were a little red, but there was a hint of hesitation, and then she nodded emphatically and said, "I will accompany you, always with you!" ”
Chu Lie's heart throbbed violently, looking at the girl in front of him who didn't know whether she was sobbing or smiling, her heart didn't know why it was aching, and she was a little powerless.
She was willing to accompany him.
But he is already dying, and after he dies, will he make the girl turn her back on her past, give up everything and even pursue to accompany his grave? Or is this kind of thinking, in fact, the subconscious is just reducing an enemy for Goku and them.
But despite this, after his death, in the face of a girl who has no power, will Goku let her go?
Chu Lie's face became a little pale and weak, he seemed to see the dirt hidden under his so-called feelings at this moment, the girl clenched his palm at this time, her cheeks were weeping, but her eyes were full of joy looking at him, making his heart throb again, he looked away, he didn't dare to look at her again, and reluctantly smiled:
"Let's go home......"
"Hmm." The girl smiled at him and said softly, "Go home." ”
The light rose again, and it only took a moment to return to the East China Sea Ling Mountain, the house was still the same, but there were three people when they left, but there were only two people left when they came back, for some reason they were a little silent and depressed, and the two of them still cooked and ate as usual, but at night, after the girl fell asleep, Chu Lie still sat alone in the courtyard, looking at the starry tranquility in the sky, and there was an inexplicable desire to drink in his heart.
"You know what you're doing."
At this moment, a complex voice sounded in his ears, surrounded by a powerful force, three figures appeared around him, Sun Wukong stretched out the magic cover, walked in front of Chu Lie in a few steps, sat on another stool skillfully, took out a pot of wine with his backhand, poured himself a glass, drank it all with his neck up, looked straight at Chu Lie with his eyes, and said:
"You're killing her."
Chu Lie's body trembled slightly, his eyes raised slightly, looking at Sun Wukong in front of him, and Tang Xuanzang and Guanyin, who had been awakened for some reason, and said hoarsely:
"Give me wine."
"You can't drink."
"I want to be drunk."
Sun Wukong was slightly silent, and then waved his hand to send the wine jug to Chu Lie, who directly held the wine jug and swallowed it in a big gulp, Guanyin sighed and said, "You know what will happen after that, Taibai...... No, Chu Lie ......"
"She has a deep affection for you, even if you fall, she will never abandon you, after the war is over, no matter which side wins, to us, she is the emperor of the south, we can't spare her life, and in the southern heavenly realm, she is a traitor, if you can't tolerate her."
Chu Lie didn't answer, just drank by himself, his eyes were red, tears oozed out, but he drank more and more fiercely, Guanyin looked at this young man with a hidden crazy appearance, and sighed:
"Now, there's only one way to spare yourself."
Rumble!
Chu Lie held the wine jug in his right hand and slammed it on the stone table, the silver bottle shattered and cut blood marks on his arm, and a pair of reddened eyes stared at Guanyin, who had peaceful eyebrows and eyes, and said hoarsely:
"Say!"
"Amitabha Buddha ......"
Guanyin couldn't bear it, and sighed: "Everything ...... The only way to do this is to let go. ”
"With the heavenly realm forgetfulness water, let her let go of you, you let go of her, the entanglement of the world, so far gone, she will turn back to the original proud and indifferent southern emperor, above the heavens and look down on all beings, and for us, the forgetfulness water will make her forget her feelings and all her experiences with you, and turn to self-consistency...... Therefore, Wukong's escape from the predicament, and the killing of the poor monk's heart demon will also be forgotten for the time being. ”
"Poor monks, Wukong, and Xuanzang, they all owe you affection, in order not to let you take the last road, and also for ...... If you don't let you die, the White Emperor core will be asked for by the Southern Heavenly Realm Ministry, so that the lives will be ruined, if you can say it calmly, the White Emperor core that can completely kill the immortals, we can't let it fall into the hands of the other party...... That's one of the reasons to come to you. ”
"Put, put down......"
Chu Lie's eyes were blank, muttering these two words, but in his mind, it was just a girl's smile like a flower, Guanyin on the side got up and sighed: "I'm waiting here, just to talk about this matter, the poor monk swears to all beings in heaven and earth, after she loses, she will definitely be able to reincarnate instead of disappearing, and this thing just makes her forget you and the experience of this time." ”
"Forgetfulness is here, as for how to do it, it's all up to you."
After saying that, the long sleeves brushed over the stone table, leaving a jade bottle on the table, which contained a handful of clear liquid, Sun Wukong looked at Chu Lie and wanted to say something, but in the end he could only sigh slightly, set up Xiangyun and left with the two seriously injured monks, leaving Chu Lie alone looking at the jade bottle in a daze.
'Chu Lie, I saved you, don't you go......
When I first saw him, the girl hugged him and sobbed.
Put it down......
'Chu Lie Chu Lie, this is a piece of cloth that I went to the town to pull for you, you see, dark blue thick lines, very noble~ I learned to make you a set of clothes, you wear it for me, okay? ’
A girl in coarse cloth clothes was holding a piece of cloth, the texture was very rough but she smiled brightly.
Put it down!
"Chu Lie Chu Lie, this dress is so suitable, change out of your black clothes, the peach blossoms in the mountain will bloom in a few days, and the appearance of the flowers falling down matches this dress very well, let's go to see the flowers together then?"
"Chu Lie Chu Lie, I have picked fruits, why don't you make sauce, then there will be a very fresh soup to drink in autumn......"
"Chu Lie Chu Lie, this is the schisandra given to me by Sister-in-law Zhao, come, I'll dye your hair black~ Really, I have grown gray hair again, alas, how can I grow so ......"
Faces appeared before his eyes, either coquettish or chuckling, eyebrows and eyes fluttering, it was ten out of ten familiar and nostalgic, and finally these faces merged into a bright face, the cheeks were red, and the eyes were bright and smiled at him in the candlelight.
"Na, Chu Lie, marry me, okay......"
Put it down!
Chu Lie's palm on his lap clenched tightly, and in his dull eyes, wisps of water vapor seemed to be uncontrollable, constantly flowing down, the man had tears and did not flick lightly, no matter how tragic the scene was, no matter how powerful the enemy was, even if his father-in-law died tragically, he did not feel so powerless.
Want to put it down?
With so many memories, how do you let go?
Don't you put it down?
Then let Xiya guard before his own spirit, defeated and killed?
Want to put it down?
Let Wukong and Xiya fight each other when they don't know......
Don't you put it down?
Without his own Xiya, the core of the White Emperor who was asked to leave, the heavens and all the worlds that were devastated......
Squeak –
I don't know when, the sky has been bright, Chu Lie actually sat outside all night, the wooden house was slowly pushed away, and a girl dressed in red clothes walked out slowly, Chu Lie slowly raised his eyes, looked at the girl with the same red eyes, showed a smile on his face, and said with difficulty:
"Xi Ya...... When we got married, we didn't drink alcohol, why don't we make up for it? ”
The girl's body trembled slightly, looking at the two cups of clear liquid that had been poured in front of Chu Lie, a bitter smile mixed with prayer and reluctance appeared on her face, and said astringently:
“…… I'm afraid of spicy ......."
"When you drink, listen to me, and it won't be bad."
Chu Lie chuckled, and handed a glass of wine to Xi Ya with a trembling hand, who took a breath and looked at Chu Lie with a pair of bright eyes: "Have you decided......
"I can't let the lives be ruined, and I can't let you be bound by my soul."
"I don't care."
"But I care!"
Chu Lie watched the girl raise her glass, and said in a trembling voice in Xiya's ear:
"I love you...... Sorry......"
A trace of tears crossed Xi Ya's face, his eyes were closed, and he poured the wine directly into his throat with his neck up, but at this time, Chu Lie's palm suddenly lifted, and lightly tapped at the girl's throat with the highest speed in his life, a sword intent emerged, the girl's pupils widened, and the forgetful water blocked by mana was directly broken, pouring into her throat, her eyes were red, and big tears slipped down her face.
Chu Lie ...... Why, why ......"
"I'm willing to die with you, why should you be cowardly? I hate you...... I hate you! ”
Chu Lie trembled and withdrew his palm, spilling the wine glass in his hand to the ground, obviously laughing, but leaving tears.
"I'm sorry...... I love you...... Always ...... I like you so much......"
"I hate you...... Chu Lie, I hate you! ”
The sadness in the girl's eyes gradually became dazed, Chu Lie's palms clenched in the sleeve robe became tighter and tighter, and the indescribable pain almost swallowed his whole person, and at this time, Xi Ya's eyes slowly regained their vigor, but they were cold and domineering, as if they were kings above the sky, looking at the young man in front of him like a stranger, frowning slightly:
"Where is this place? Who are you? ”
The gray-eyed young man looked at her familiar face and chuckled:
“…… It's just a passerby. ”
