Chapter 199: The Covenant of a Life
(a)
The gibbous moon is gradually rising, and the full moon is just around the corner.
Ten days later, Bai Hua carried two pots of sake and slowly approached the Santu boundary.
As soon as she appeared, tens of thousands of souls swarmed out. Soon, the spirits split into two columns in the air to greet them.
Looking in the direction of the soul discharge, Bai Hua faintly saw a huge pit shrouded in evil fog and filled with demonic aura.
Nether, are you really there?!
Bai Hua'e frowned, and her expression darkened. She glanced lightly at the soul that had opened the way, and said, "You don't have to lead the way here, I'll wait for him at the top of the mountain." ”
With a wave of her wide sleeves, she instantly turned into a cloud of green smoke and dissipated.
The top of the mountain is barren, and the four fields are depressed.
Bai Hua sat on the hanging stone, looked at the blood moon that was about to reach the middle of the sky, and said shallowly: "The obsession is too shallow, there is no desire and no desire, the obsession is too deep, and the pain is unspeakable." ”
In the wind, there was a faint aroma of wine. She lifted the flask with a smile, raised her head and poured it violently, but she didn't know that the sweet taste mixed with the salty taste of tears was an indescribable bitterness.
The mountain wind blew unscrupulously, and a cold chill quietly spread to the whole body along the agitated sleeves. Bai Hua shook the wine jug and asked again: "Is this thought ruining people or hearts?"
As soon as the words fell, a low and familiar voice suddenly sounded in my ears, "Didn't you say that you won't drink alcohol again?"
Bai Hua looked stunned, and the hand holding the wine jug froze in mid-air. After a long pause, she stood up stunned.
Before coming, Bai Hua kept telling himself in his heart to stay rational and not to panic. However, when she turned around and saw the white-haired Nether, dressed in the white robe she had made herself, tears finally poured out.
The Netherworld shifted his steps, little by little, towards her. Only three steps away, he suddenly stopped again. The fingers hidden in the sleeves curled up, stretched and curled, back and forth several times, but never dared to stretch out easily.
"Xiaobai, is it really you?"
The scene of such a reunion has been experienced countless times, but every time he stretched out his hand, he could only touch the cold air. These short three steps away are like a bottomless moat. He was afraid that if he took one step further, he would fall into the bottomless abyss again.
Bai Hua paced slowly, raised a faint smile, and easily stepped over the moat and stood in front of the netherworld.
"Nether, it's me~"
Netherworld's pupils shrank suddenly, and the water flickered faintly in his eyes. He tentatively stretched out his right hand and carefully stroked her cheek, "You're finally back." ”
Bai Hua's eyes were red, he nodded slightly, and said, "Hmm... I'm back..."
She tried her best to control the emotions on her face, but her outstretched fingers were already trembling. The moment the fingertips touched the white hair, the tears that were not angry came out of his eyes again.
Crazy tears blurred his vision, Bai Hua fumbled and grabbed his hand, choked up and asked, "Why don't you wait for me to come back?"
"I've been waiting..."Netherworld wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, like a child who had been wronged, and said with a sad expression, "I stood on the edge of the cliff and waited for a long, long time. Wait until the snow falls, wait until the sky and the earth change color, wait until everyone tells me that you have..."
Bai Hua's nose was sour, and he threw himself directly into his arms, sobbing: "It's okay, everything is over." ”
It's all gone?!Netherworld shook his head slightly, the curvature of his mouth was full of bitterness, "Now I have become a demon, a demon that the world fears!"
Saying that, he gently pushed Bai Hua away, walked to the edge of the hanging stone, and said lightly: "Xiaobai, everything can't go back..."
Bai Hua turned around, stared at his back, and raised his voice: "The blood moon is full, and the sky is full of catastrophe." Netherworld, as long as you are willing to disperse all souls and let heaven and earth see the light of day again, the world will not linger on this for the rest of your life!"
"See the light of day again..."Netherworld lowered his eyes and looked at the three-way realm where the souls gathered under his feet, and muttered: "I don't die, my soul is immortal..."
(b)
I'm not dead... Soul, immortal?!
Netherworld's words really disrupted Bai Hua's plan. She froze in place, unable to return to her senses for a long time.
If you want to stop everything, wouldn't you want to...
"Xiaobai, kill me..."
At this moment, Netherworld spoke what was in her heart. Immediately after, he conjured up the Wufu Sword and handed it into Bai Hua's hands.
He was dressed in white, and I was armed with a sword. This situation is so similar to the dream.
Bai Hua raised his eyes to look at the Netherworld, frowned and chuckled. Then, she lowered her eyes again, looked at the innocence in her hand, and pulled her lips and chuckled.
She asked herself: Bai Hua, Bai Hua, so far, do you dare to bet or don't you dare to bet?!
The wind is howling, and the yellow sand is all over the sky.
With a bang, the sword was already inserted into the hard hanging stone.
Bai Hua stood against the wind and said in a loud voice: "What about the catastrophe from the sky? What about you as an evil demon?"
After a pause, she picked up the two pots of sake on the ground again, and said with a resolute face: "In this life, I will accompany you Baihua!"
A warm current surged into my heart, and my long-frozen heart had a temperature at this moment. Netherworld was deeply moved, but at the same time a little incredulous.
"Xiaobai, are you really willing to stay in this dark three-way realm?"
When the four eyes met, Bai Hua's expression paused imperceptibly. She glanced thoughtfully at the wine jug in her hand, and then said with a smile: "The covenant of a lifetime, with wine as proof!"
............
'I'm not going to drink anymore, really!'
'If you drink again...'
'If I dip one more drop of Bai Hua, then the Netherworld Gods will never pay attention to me again in the future. ’
The words she had spoken, the vows she had made, seemed to have happened yesterday. Looking at the wine jug she handed out, Netherworld hesitated for a while before reaching out to take it and echoing in a low voice: "Okay, we swear by wine and accompany each other for a lifetime!"
Nether, your life is long...
Bai Hua suddenly came back to his senses, held the wine jug high, and added: "The covenant of this life, the wine is sworn toast!"
With that, she closed her eyes and looked up, and drank the sake from the pot. The wine poured into her throat, the bitterness was unbearable, and she drank too quickly, choking her tears.
"I don't drink alcohol on weekdays, how can I drink so much..."Netherworld stepped forward worriedly, wanting to help her pat her back and smooth out.
"I'm fine!" Bai Hua waved his hand to stop it, and hurriedly raised his sleeve to wipe the tears from the corners of his eyes, and said with a smile: "I have heard people say that drinking alcohol does not make you drunk... In this way, it seems that it has been deceived. ”
As she spoke, the smile on her face gradually faded back, replaced by an indescribable emotion.
"That's it, drink this pot, and you won't drink it again in your life!"
Silent, he raised his hand and brought the spout to his lips. It's just that before the wine has been eaten, Bai Hua suddenly grabbed his arm.
The ghostly figure paused, lowered his eyes and looked at the hand holding his arm, and said in confusion, "What's wrong with you?"
"I..." Bai Hua stared at him for a moment with a complicated expression, and said, "Before you swear, you still need to fulfill my wish!"
Nether didn't think much of it and asked, "What do you want?"
Bai Hua walked to the hanging stone again and whispered: "This life is from the past life, the next life is from this life, if the past has an end, the future has a beginning." ”
His eyes sank into deep thought. After a long silence, he asked again: "What do you want to say?"
"Neither gods nor demons will last forever. Bai Hua raised his finger lightly, stroked the wrinkles between his eyebrows, and continued: "If you take the first step in this life, I will definitely live well, even if I wait for the third life, I will wait to meet you again." Therefore, if I go first, you also need to live well. ”
Hearing this, Nether's eyebrows tightened even deeper, "What if I shouldn't?"
Bai Hua turned sideways slightly, staggering his intersecting gaze. After struggling for a while, she still ruthlessly cut off all his back roads.
"Say goodbye in this life, never see you again!"
"Okay, I'll answer you..."The Shadow smiled dejectedly, and immediately tilted his head and drank all the sake, leaving not a drop left.
Bai Hua pursed his lips with tears, turned around and hugged him tightly, and confirmed: "Since you should go, you can't go back!"
The Nether Arm bent and tightened her arms, hugging her tighter, and said word by word: "The oath has been made, and I will never go back." ”
The tears that fell soaked a piece of his clothes. And the right hand holding the white spirit bead trembled even more. Bai Hua slowly moved his hand to the back of the Netherworld, and choked up, "Nether, I'm sorry!"
Nether's heart palpitated, and he hurriedly distanced the two, "Xiaobai, you... Hmm..."
I felt a sharp pain in my heart, and a scorching force suddenly invaded my limbs. At the same time, the Netherworld was shocked to realize that the turbid yin qi surging in his body seemed to be being suppressed by this force.
Clutching his chest, he staggered back to the edge of the hanging stone. But before he could recover from the shock, Bai Hua knocked him off the cliff with another palm.
Netherworld looked up at Bai Hua, who jumped down and rushed towards him, and asked silently, "Xiaobai, why is this..."
Bai Hua, who was full of tears, leaned down at the same time, reached out with his right hand and shouted: "No vain!"
The sword roared for a long time, and Wu Yu instantly turned into a white light and flew into Bai Hua's hand. Immediately after, she pointed her sword at the heart of the Netherworld and stabbed it down without hesitation.
A slight muffled sound sounded. Nether stared blankly at her, letting the sword sink into his body.
Bai Hua tearfully withdrew his long sword, and with a sharp turn of his wrist, he condensed an enchantment in mid-air, trapping the Netherworld in it.
The Nether's eyes were hollow, hanging weakly in the enchantment, and he asked, "If you want to kill me, why do you want to make a lifelong covenant?"
Bai Hua burst into tears, knelt in the air without strength, and read: "In the past life and this life, I have no regrets when I meet you, and I beg to meet you again in the next life." ”
