Chapter Ninety-Six: The Dead
When I woke up again, it was pitch black all around, and my last memory stayed at the moment when I missed Yue Qianling, I don't know what this place is, I only saw a faint light in front of me, I instinctively walked towards the light, more and more dazzling, and I subconsciously used my hands to cover it.
Then I heard the familiar sound of the piano, ethereal and vigorous, and when the blinding light disappeared, I looked up at the palace opposite, I had been here, unusually familiar, but I didn't think why I was here.
Qin Shi was naturalized in the bright moon, and the remote guard was Junyue.
Standing under the Xiantai Palace, I looked up and heard the slightest sound of the piano coming from the piano platform, like a kind of summoning and a kind of traction, and I was a little dazed and surprised to ascend the Xiantai Palace.
The woman sat cross-legged on the side of the piano platform, the guqin was crossed on her knees, her fingertips moved lightly, and the wisps of piano slowly sounded in the room, melodious, a kind of rhyme but reverberatory.
In fact, I really wanted to see Mu Xixue again, but I didn't expect it to be such a time and scene, seeing me coming, Mu Xixue smiled at Yanran, she was dressed in red, red and gorgeous, and miserable, it was Yingzheng's wedding dress that was dyed red with blood for her, and now it is worn on her, making Mu Xixue look even more beautiful and moving.
In my memory, she was a woman who lived in love and waiting, but now I can't see melancholy and sadness in her eyes, at least her smile is satisfied and gratified.
"It's been a long time since Xiantai Palace was gone, and now it's better to see you again."
Don't come unharmed......
I carefully recalled Mu Xixue's words, I suddenly found that I didn't feel the pain of the wound in my body, the sword broke my heart, just like when I broke Mu Xixue, how could it be okay, I seemed to think of something, opened my shirt and body intact, there was no sword wound at all, and then looked up at Mu Xixue opposite, with a wry smile in understanding.
"You are the one who died in my hands, although at that time Xixue you were bent on death, but Yan Hui didn't understand you at the time with a bitter smile, and it was hard to escape the blame for the injury, I saw with my own eyes that your soul returned to Huangquan, and I also buried you in the peach forest, you are a dead person, I can come here, explain ...... I'm dead too! ”
Mu Xi's snow-white and slender fingers covered the Junyue qin, and the incense burner next to her was the familiar agarwood incense, and she smiled and motioned for me to sit down.
I was going to go to the underworld after dealing with the Dragon and Tiger Mountain, if Mu Xixue and I are both deceased, then this should be the underworld, but it is a little different from what I thought, since the soul returns to Huangquan, what is there to be nostalgic for, I sat opposite Mu Xixue with a light smile.
A cup of fragrant tea is still the taste in the piano room that day, not strong or lacking in the aftertaste of tea, Mu Xixue poured me tea.
I wanted to ask her why I was here, or why she was still here, but after thinking about it, these secular words might pollute the peace and tranquility of this place, so I didn't speak, and savored the tea sent by Mu Xixue.
Remorse? Mu Xixue asked with a smile.
I hesitated for a moment, the teacup stopped at my mouth, and then smiled back, took a sip and shook my head lightly, I don't regret it, I don't regret it, I don't have too much nostalgia for the past, maybe it's the bowl of water in the void that enlightened me, and what I can't afford from beginning to end may not be Yingzheng's resentment, it happens to be my own obsession, I think too much and estimate too much, from the time I left Qin Yishou, I unconsciously fell into this endless ordeal.
When I was sitting opposite Mu Xixue now, tasting tea and listening to the piano, I suddenly realized that I had not had this long-lost tranquility for a long time.
"You've been in this place all along?"
Mu Xixue shook her head, her expression made me a little incomprehensible, and when she poured me a second cup of tea, I heard Mu Xixue's ethereal and indifferent voice.
"You are too tired to return to the wild goose, take a good rest here, you still have a long way to go, when you are well rested, I will send you back."
"Go back?" I looked at her with a furrowed brow and some surprise. "Where are you going?"
"Where you should go." Mu Xixue replied calmly.
I thought thoughtfully about Mu Xixue's words, she and I are both deceased, and where else can I go back to but the Netherlands, but now I don't think about these things anymore, and I said very calmly.
"If I could, I wouldn't want to go anywhere, so it's good to stay here."
"This is not the place for you." Mu Xixue's Junyue Qin was next to the token that Yingzheng gave her to recognize, and her hand slowly stroked the golden Crouching Tiger Talisman, and said meaningfully. "We'll see each other someday, but not now, you have a lot to do, you have a lot to know, and I just want to thank you for coming to me today."
"Thank me?" I drank my cup of tea and asked with a smile. "What do you have to thank me?"
"On that day, the wild goose returned to bury me in the peach forest of the Xiantai Palace, Qin Shi was naturalized in the bright moon, and the remote guard of the Xiantai was Junyue, this is Xixue's last wish, and the wild goose returned to fulfill, and Xixue's wish was enough."
"Xixue, your thousand-year-old perseverance without complaint and regret is convincing, and if you can do this for you, Yanhui is willing." I answer sincerely.
The door outside was opened, I looked back and saw the person who came in gentle and elegant, I am still no stranger to him, Yan Xiyue has not changed much from before, at least when he sees me, he still habitually bows his head, it stands to reason that I should not like this person, at least he forced me to get bloody, which caused the demons to be unsettled, but in the end I understood that his friendship with Mu Xixue seemed to be equally earth-shattering, and I have never hated this person since then, just like Wu Zetian told me that sentence, right and wrong are not so easy to distinguish, The angle of standing is different, and the understanding of right and wrong is different.
Yan Xiyue actually thanked me for the first sentence when she saw me, I didn't ask much and guessed that it was because I buried him next to Mu Xixue, this is his long-cherished wish for thousands of years, although it was not realized during his lifetime, but I fulfilled him after his death.
"It's almost time when you come, it's time to go back after resting." Yan Xiyue's voice was still very humble in front of me.
There was no tea in my cup, and Mu Xixue didn't give me any more meaning, she and Yan Xiyue both said the same thing, and I didn't understand where they wanted me to go for a while.
I saw Mu Xixue get up, and I also stood up, Yan Xiyue suddenly said calmly beside her.
"The road ahead is rugged, I hope you promise that you are kind to me, I have no teeth and unforgettable, but each is his master, and you and I will live and die next time we meet."
"Next time? Good bye? "I became more and more unable to understand what he was saying.
But Xiyue said all this, and there was no intention to say any more, I suddenly reacted to something, and asked with some doubts.
"On that day, you decided to be on this piano platform, you and I are dead people, this time you have been to Lechuan into reincarnation, you have fought to the death in the previous life, do you still refuse to give up in the next life?"
"Yan Hui, you haven't finished this life, what can you say about the next life."
"......" I turned around abruptly and looked at Mu Xixue in amazement, and asked in surprise. This life is not over? No way! Like you, I have broken my heart and have no power to return to heaven. ”
I was waiting for Mu Xixue and Yan Xiyue to explain, but it was clear that no one was going to tell me why, Mu Xixue just stepped out of the way and pointed out of the closed door.
"Yan Hui, someone is waiting for you!"
I couldn't understand the expressions on Mu Xixue and Yan Xiyue's faces, and I was even more curious about who else would be waiting for me here, as Mu Xixue's hand pointed over, I hesitated for a moment to open the door, and it was a dazzling white light, my whole person was completely lost in it, I subconsciously reached out to block it, and the light passed through my fingers so that I couldn't open my eyes.
I vaguely heard the cries of shaking the heavens and the sound of drums and trumpets resounding through the sky, and when I opened my eyes again, I was already in another place, the same high hall but far more majestic than the Xiantai Palace, the golden palace seemed to have been seen somewhere, but I could not remember anything.
The palace was empty, the golden gate on the opposite side opened, the sound came from outside, I thoughtfully walked towards the golden gate, the shouts and drums in my ears were deafening, and the moment I stepped out of the golden gate, I saw a man with both hands behind his back, with a straight waist, wearing a black crown, and a beaded curtain in front and back, because of the vertical, the black clothes and clothes were black and red, and they were yellow and red, I couldn't see the man's face, but even if I was so far away from him, I could feel the majesty and domineering that he exuded.
His whole person was like a sword, a sword that could destroy the world and make everything subjugate, and the cold and murderous aura overflowed, this feeling made me feel familiar, and I slowly walked towards him.
He should be the person Mu Xixue said to wait for me, and when I was less than five steps away from him, the man slowly turned around, and his gestures were full of majesty that people dared not look up to, and when I saw his face, I was stunned in place, I thought about all kinds of possibilities, but I would never have thought that the person waiting for me would be him.
No one should be more familiar with this face than me, and I suddenly realized that the supreme majesty and domineering might only be possessed by this person.
Ying Zheng's cold arrogance and invincibility, I have seen it face to face, most of the time it is my body that carries this suffocating chill, at this moment I am standing in front of him, for a while I am in a trance, I can't tell whether I see Ying Zheng or myself!
"Do you know what it means to be a joke?" Ying Zheng looked at me indifferently.
