Chapter 22: Redemption

The red moon hung high in the sky, the morning sun dyed half of the sky red, the air was humid and about to wring out the water, Murong Yi looked at the strange scene in front of her, and shouted loudly to her companions, but in front of her was the deserted Gobi Desert.

According to Xue Yan, these were all things that Murong Yi told her later, and what they saw at that time was that Murong Yi disappeared for more than a minute after touching the bronze mirror emitting red light on the stone platform, and when she reappeared, the whole person was dusty, as if she had experienced a great calamity......

Although Murong Yi wondered why she suddenly moved here, she immediately calmed down, she speculated in her heart that the stone platform and the surrounding stone formations, coupled with the red moon in the dome, might cause the space to distort and fold, so she ran to this place all of a sudden.

"Anyone!" Murong Yi shouted, and all that responded to her was a sultry wind whistling, mixed with rocks. The dark clouds on the edge of the sky slowly moved in this direction, and a storm was coming. Murong Yi ran fast on the Gobi Desert, hoping to find the red light that went back.

Where am I? Murong Yi finally stood up after running for a while, panting at the watch and mobile phone, turning on the positioning function always failed, and even the hour hand of the watch stopped beating, as if it was stationary. Murong Yi picked up the Buddha statue she was wearing around her neck, folded her hands and prayed sincerely to resolve her predicament, this Buddha statue necklace was given to her by Xi Yan on her birthday, holding it in her hand at this moment, she felt some comfort in her heart, as if she had injected a new strength into herself.

Murong Yi walked forward aimlessly, where she was going, she didn't know, once a person leaves the group, all the ** and purpose are only two words, alive, it can be seen that people are revenge animals, human nature is like a mirror, what you do to it, it will do to you.

"Whew......" Murong Yi suddenly heard a wolf howl, and reflexively reached out to take the pistol he was wearing at his waist, but only touched a saber. Where did Murong Yi think his pistol went? She didn't remember it at all, but she immediately held the saber in her hand, and now she had to take one step at a time.

After a while, the wolf's howl sounded again, and Murong Yi noticed that a wolf came to his right, and there seemed to be a person behind it, and the shadow was too dark to see. Murong Yi turned to face them and clenched the knife in his hand.

"Who are you?" When that person followed a wolf to the front of him, it turned out to be a young man with a handsome face, Murong Yi first thought that he was dazzled, and then muttered, Xiyan!

"I'm not your word." The young man said unhurriedly, smiling unusually good, "Please answer my question, who are you?" What are you doing here? Murong Yi looked at the young man in front of him in confusion, his appearance was exactly the same as Xi Yan's, even his glasses were so similar, if he was really not Xi Yan, then who would it be?

"What is this place?" Murong Yi asked.

"Here...... Hehe......" The young man looked at the red moon in the sky and the newborn morning sun and smiled, "This is the place of the end, and it is also the place of the beginning, whether it is the end or the beginning, it is up to you." ”

"What do you mean?" Murong Yi looked at the strange young man in front of him, and faintly had a bad premonition, this seems to be an illusion, so the person in front of him may also be an illusion.

"What are you thinking?" The young man's magnetic voice made Murong Yi come back to his senses all of a sudden, "This is the place of origin, no one has ever come in, how did you come here?" ”

"Red light." Murong Yi said, "Red moonlight ......"

"What do you mean?" The boy asked.

"The strange stone formation, and that bronze mirror, somehow I came here......" Murong Yi recounted the events in the cave in detail.

"Oh?" The boy seemed to understand something, "I see. ”

"Know what?" Murong Yi asked.

"Tell me what you see here?" The boy didn't answer her question, but asked.

"Barren ......," Murong Yi said.

"That means death." The boy said, "You're going to die." ”

"What?" Murong Yi was inexplicably surprised by what he said.

"What you see me is not my true appearance, what you see is only the appearance of the person you love in your heart, in the same way, this place is not real, but it goes straight to your heart, and it is also reality, separating you from them." The boy smiled very gently, "When people have hallucinations that are uncontrollable, they see love instead of hatred, which proves that people's hearts are still good, but they are eroded by too many **." ”

The young man whistled and continued to follow the old wolf forward, Murong Yi stood in place as if he didn't understand, and then followed the young man as well, silently following him, because she felt that he would not lie to her.

"What's your **?" The boy said softly, "What do you want most?" ”

"I ......" Murong Yi also asked what she wanted most in her heart, but she couldn't answer it, because she wanted too many things and too many things she wanted.

"Do you want him the most?" The boy pointed to himself, "Your name is Xiyan's person." ”

"Yes......" Murong Yi's pupils contracted, and she replied in a low voice, she had never dared to reveal the slightest thought of herself for so many years, what she was afraid of was that some things would be lost as soon as she opened her mouth, it was better to be confused forever, so that she would never have it or lose it.

"He likes you too." The boy smiled and said, "It's good to like someone." ”

"Alright." The boy stopped, looked at the scene in front of him, and said, "It's so beautiful......

"What......" Murong Yi said in a low voice, but the next moment her pupils reflected a scene that made her incredible, a turquoise lake appeared in front of her, the lake was surrounded by flowers and weeds, and bees and butterflies flew happily in it, in stark contrast to the gray world behind her.

"Do you see the fish?" The boy pointed to the small fish swimming back and forth in the lake.

"Hmm......" Murong Yi nodded.

"Those who die because of sadness, when people die, they become fish, and they forget themselves once in a while, and for them, it is a new beginning." The young man muttered, "I also want to be a fish once, but I don't want to be sad anymore, because I have to break my heart once, and it's about to die......" The young man lowered his head, and the sad tone made Murong Yi a little pitiful, and when she looked at the young man's chest, she saw that the place where her heart was shining light......

"What do you think is the meaning of life?" The boy raised his head again, a forced smile. Murong Yi shook her head and looked at the strange young man in front of her, she didn't know what to say.

"It's an annoyance." The boy said, "Everyone has troubles, and people live for them." If you lose your troubles, then your life will also lose its meaning. ”

"Do you have any troubles?" The young man looked at Murong Yi.

"You want to get out, don't you?" Seeing that Murong Yi didn't answer for a long time, the young man had no choice but to ask. Murong Yi nodded.

"Stab me in the chest with the knife in your hand, and you're good to go." The boy still smiled softly.

"No......" Murong Yi immediately put the knife behind his back, "I can't do it." ”

"You have to do it, or you won't get what you want." The boy said, "You should learn to take it and put it down before you fall in love with someone, otherwise you will give your heart to others like I did, and then be crushed." ”

No! Murong Yi shook his head vigorously, I won't do it. The boy continued: "I'm just fake, the real one is still waiting for you outside, don't you want to go out?" Raise the knife in your hand, then aim it and stab it hard. The boy pointed to his chest.

"Does it really have to be like this?" Murong Yi trembled and raised her right hand holding the knife, she knew that she couldn't stab this knife no matter what.

"Don't overthink it." The young man smiled softly and said, "Just as I am your enemy, the one you hate the most." ”

"I'm ......" Murong Yi thought that she was going to kill Xiyan in front of her, and her emotions surged up all of a sudden, she would rather die herself than hurt him, even if he was fake, but he was obviously exactly the same as him, how could she do it?

"I can't do it...... Murong Yi's tears flowed out at once, "I'm sorry, I can't do it...... I'd love to stay here......"

"Really?" The boy pointed to the lake and said, "Would you like to be a fish in the water?" ”

"What do you mean?" Murong Yi wiped away her tears and asked.

"The fish in the water has no trouble because it forgets the past, but it never remembers that it has been in this world, do you think it is lucky or sad?" The boy said, "You should live for yourself, because you can't do it now, and you may not be able to do it later, because you haven't gotten him yet, so you think of him too perfectly, and what if he betrays you or abandons you in the future?" Will you still love him the way you did? ”

"I don't know......" Murong Yi's heart trembled, because of her own heart, she didn't know what the answer was.

"You'll find out soon......," the boy said, pointing to his chest again, "let go of what you care about the most, be the most serious you, people are too tired after all, aren't they?" ”

Murong Yi looked at the handsome young man in front of her, with a familiar face and a gentle smile, everything was so warm and nostalgic, but she had to make a choice after all. Murong Yi closed her glasses and told herself over and over again in her heart that it was fake, fake, it was all fake...... Then he was ruthless and stabbed down......

The next moment, Murong Yi slowly opened his eyes, looked at the young man who was still smiling softly in front of him, threw away the knife in his hand, and then hugged him tightly...... She didn't stab it, not because she didn't have the courage, but because she felt that she shouldn't hurt this feeling for herself, she knew it was a test, but she couldn't do it even if it was fake. If there really is such a day, she will definitely choose to let herself bear the pain, because love is irreplaceable.

"Close your eyes." The boy's voice was magnetic. Murong Yi closed her eyes obediently, and then she heard as if someone was calling out to her.

"Murong Yi! Murong Yi! Xiyan shouted loudly next to her, gently pushing her.

Murong Yi opened his eyes, he was still standing in front of the stone platform, the Huayang mirror on the stone platform was quietly placed there, the red light had disappeared, and Xi Yan in front of him was looking at him with a concerned face.
