Goodbye Shen Yu

Previous Chapter

When he saw me like this, Ben had been tense and serious, and finally a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

The rain outside had stopped, Xuanwu raised his hand and waved upward, the blue light dissipated, and the dark sky was immediately dotted with stars.

I stood up and looked up, the endless sea, the starlight scattered in the sky, my heart was not as panicked as when I first came, but open-minded.

Then, as the boat passed through a patch of aquatic grass, small green dots of light began to rise from the grass.

In an instant, countless fireflies swirled around us, forming rose-like shapes, from the bottom to the top, and then spreading into petals, sprinkling down.

The cycle began several times, and the beauty was incomparable, and a little farther away, a bright moon slowly appeared from the horizon......

It's so beautiful, I feel it, and then look at Xuanwu on the side, he stands quietly and looks at me, but suddenly shows a fleeting surprise.

But the surprise quickly dissipated like an illusion, and when I saw him, he smiled softly and walked up to me and raised my hand, and the green fireflies began to stay on my fingertips, and suddenly flew into the sky.

Looking at the sky, the green fluorescence and starlight glow are magically emitted.

"That's the pre-dawn light," Xuanwu whispered in my ear.

I nodded, "Such a beautiful night, I'm afraid it will be unforgettable in my life"

"Qi Lu, promise me, no matter how much pain in your heart, don't give up"

I heard that I turned my head to look at him, "Good and decent, why do you say this?"

"Your obsession is too heavy" Xuanwu stared into my eyes, "As an ordinary person, you shouldn't have so many obsessions, let alone be so harsh on people and things, you should learn to give up some harshness and try to accept it"

I looked at him with some confusion, and he smiled "You'll understand later"

"But you must promise me that you will never give up," he repeated again, but with all seriousness.

"Okay, I promise you" I didn't understand, but I promised.

——

The ship continued to move forward quickly, and after about an hour, the moon and stars disappeared, and the darkness dissipated into daylight.

The water of the sea was black, and when I reached the horizon, I saw a canyon to the south, and I saw that the cliffs of the canyon were full of purple flowers.

"That's?"

"Passing through the canyon, there is Luoshui, Luoshui and Minghai are connected, but they always flow separately, Minghai is a stagnant water, and eventually it is often restored, and Luoshui goes south to the South China Sea, straight to the Xuanjie"

"Luoshui?"

Xuanwu then looked down at me, his eyes were as secretive as deep, "Next to Luoshui, the purple bird has been there for tens of thousands of years"

I nodded, and turned my head to look at him again.

......

After traveling for more than half a day, crossing the horizon, I faintly saw the small islands that stretched together, and the boat sailed away like an arrow in the water like a bow and a string in the thick white fog.

On the edge of the island, a slender figure was standing on the shore, and he smiled gently when he saw us coming.

Xuanwu docked the boat, and just as I wanted to go ashore, he grabbed me.

I turned my head a little puzzled, and the next second he hugged me and said softly in a voice that only the two of us could hear, "Don't forget, you just promised me"

I knew what he was referring to and whispered "I remember"

He then let me go, and I went ashore, but he did not stop for a moment, and as soon as the boat turned around, it sailed again into the thick mist......

We just met again and then separated again, rushed by, and the next time we met, I don't know where it would be.

I looked at the boat that had disappeared in the white fog, and I felt sad again.

——

"Qi Lu" Long Qianrui called me softly.

I came back to my senses, the island is surrounded by mountains and waters, this place is somewhat familiar, it is the world in the mirror that Mu Fan brought me to at the beginning, and there was a real Mu Fan in this place.

"Qingling Mountain is in another time and space in the human world, and this is also equivalent to the gathering point of various enchantments," Long Qianrui said as he walked forward, and I followed behind him.

"There's one thing I've never figured out," I said, observing the scenery on both sides as I walked.

"What," Long Qianrui asked, turning his head.

"Why were you here when I was reincarnated? You shouldn't have anything to do with me?"

He stopped, I stopped, and we stood face to face.

Long Qianrui smiled faintly, "If you are really still Duan Ripple back then, I can't hide anything from you, and I can't escape your eyes."

I also smiled and looked into his eyes "I never miss the feeling in my heart, my eyes will deceive me, but the heart will never"

"Actually, I don't know why I met you in the reincarnation of the world, maybe there is some opportunity to make Qingluan come back."

I still had a trace of sorrow in my heart, and I glanced at his hand and sighed softly, "Whether it is that world or this life, we can't help it"

Long Qianrui looked at me and didn't answer, there was silence around him, and he suddenly said, "Even if you can't help it, you have to live well."

I was puzzled and asked, "What did you mean by talking to me when you disappeared?"

He shook his head slightly and smiled, "What's the point, I'm just telling you to be careful."

"Tell me?" I asked.

Long Qianrui changed the topic and moved forward, "Let's go up, when the king comes back, I can work with him to take out the soul of the purple pigle."

I didn't ask any more, and looked around again, "Is he there?"

Long Qianrui seemed to know who I was talking about, raised his eyes and nodded, "Shen Yu is on it."

Not far away, stone steps appeared, and in front of us was also changing rapidly, a large sea of roses, as if there was no end in sight, and pink petals flying in the sky swirled around us.

This was the place where I saw the purple gulp.

We walked up the stone steps, which led to the top of the mountain, which was not high but the top was covered with mist.

At the top of the hill, in the middle is a huge flower garden, and on the periphery is a carpet-like meadow, which is full of colorful flowers and dances.

The top of the mountain is surrounded by a curtain of water, like a pure and transparent bead curtain, ethereal and crisp, and there is a huge stone gate in the middle.

Heading towards the stone gate, there are many very strange patterns carved on the door, with some green branches hanging down, and in the distance is a rolling sea of clouds.

The stone door opens slowly and automatically.

Coming here again, without the extreme disgust, anger and stubbornness of the first time, when I regained the memory of the third life, my state of mind seemed to change dramatically.

Long Qianrui pulled me up and flew over the wide stream to a house.

He knocked on the door, it opened, and a familiar face appeared in front of me, and the person in front of me looked at me in amazement.

The face is still exquisite, as dazzling as usual.

He looked at me in a trance, and I didn't dodge but only responded flatly.

At this moment, I understood what Long Qianyi said, and decided to let go of my heart completely, he didn't belong to me, and he never belonged to me for a moment.

It's just that now we are far away and far away, and we have become almost strangers, and we no longer have the amazement when we first met, the heartbeat when we first met, and the expectation when we first met......

Shen Yu finally shifted his gaze and said lightly to us, "Come in"

"Forget it, we won't go in, when Mu Fan comes back from the Xuan Realm, with the strength of the three of us, we should be able to bring the soul of the purple bird back to the body"

Long Qianrui looked at me, then turned around and pulled me away.

"He went back to the Xuan Realm?" asked Shen Yu behind him. Long Qianrui and I didn't answer and walked away.
