At the end of March, it rained several times in quick succession. The rain was not heavy, not even a trickle, just like a light mist, shrouded between the sky and the earth, accompanied by a warm spring breeze, falling on the mountains, on the grass, and on the faces of pedestrians.

People are not afraid of the rain, and they don't even have to wear clothes when they travel. The children laughed and jumped, like ponies untied from the reins, exuding cheerful vitality, and most of the adults would not stop them, but just smiled and indulged their wild play, or even some old people said with satisfaction: "It's good to be wild, wild children are strong, easy to feed, and easy to grow up"

"Is this any holiday? I feel that there are a lot of pedestrians on the road, and they all seem to be going in the same direction. Yin Shuang was holding Wu Xie's hand, strolling slowly like an ordinary couple in the world, she enjoyed this warm and quiet atmosphere very much, so she didn't even bother to use her divine thoughts to investigate.

Wu Xie smiled and pointed at himself.

"What do you mean?"

"They're celebrating the Wuhou Festival." Wu Xie smiled and said, "It's my birthday in a few days." ”

Yin Shuang's eyes widened, and he looked at Wu Xie in surprise, and after a while, he couldn't help but laugh.

When she finished laughing, she couldn't help but ask, "Your birthday is not today, why are they celebrating today?" ”

"The so-called Wuhou Festival does not have a fixed date, which is roughly the end of March and the beginning of April. As long as the weather is good, you can celebrate. Wu Xie smiled and said, "Similar to tomb sweeping during the Qingming Festival, in fact, there are only a few people who really drag it out until the Qingming Festival to sweep the tomb." ”

Yin Shuang nodded slightly, she also knew this custom.

"Since my father edited the "Tsing Yi Sutra", most people in the world have added a statue of my father in Yaowang Temple. In our Eastern Chu Kingdom, the additional statues are not one, but three. Wu Xie explained in a low voice, "Generally speaking, it is the father who wears a cyan medical robe in the middle, the brother on the left is wearing an official uniform, and the right is me wearing a Taoist robe." ”

"Our father and son are commonly known as Old Wu Hou, Big Wu Hou, and Little Wu Hou by the people, but when they celebrate Wu Hou Festival, they usually choose my birthday - because in that year, with the tacit consent of the court of the Great Chu State, my birth shrine was built in many places, and my birthday was enshrined in the birth hall, and sacrifices were held on my birthday every year."

"That'...... Who is this Wuhou Festival commemorating? Yin Shuang asked curiously.

Wu Xie smiled and looked up at the sky: "General Du enshrined in General Du's temple is the eldest brother Du who has not been on the battlefield a few times?" Or his son? Or his grandson or great-grandson...... Who knows? Therefore, it doesn't matter whether Wuhou Festival commemorates my father, brother or me. ”

"This kind of thing is related to the belonging of the faith in the world, so it can't be indifferent."

"My father and brother have probably been reincarnated a long time ago, I am a person outside the world, and I don't need human faith." Wu Xie said lightly, "The people respect us, set up festivals for us, and recite and celebrate them from generation to generation." I'm happy and grateful to them, but I don't really need any faith...... This is like the ancestor Yuan who spent his whole life improving rice seeds, his old man is now revered as the god of agriculture, but he has already ascended to the upper realm, and the belief in the world is meaningless to him. ”

"But...... This is an affirmation of your efforts."

"The people of Nanping County live a peaceful and happy life, and "The Story of Tsing Yi" can be published all over the world...... These are the affirmations of our efforts. As for anything else, it's just a minutiae. Wu Xie said with a smile, "If Patriarch Yuan can know the situation in the world, he must only plant something to the common people?" How's the harvest going? Are you doing well? …… This kind of question is interesting, and as for whether the world worships him, he will not go to his heart. ”

Yin Shuang was silent for a moment and sighed deeply.

"I'm feeling more and more ...... We don't have a common language......"

"How so? In this world, we are the only ones who understand each other. I once tried to imagine the world without you—it was a terrible imagination, I was living in the world in a daze, chasing the path of immortality, but I didn't even know whether my past life was true or false......"

Listening to Wu Jie's words, Yin Shuang clenched his hand: "I also know the Tao of the Truth, before I met you, I doubted more than once that those memories of the earth were hallucinations?" Maybe it's all just a dream of a little girl from the sky? Maybe the reason why she is out of place with others is just because of her lack of heart? ”

Wu Xie turned around, grabbed her right hand with his left hand, and held her slightly cool hands in the palm of his palm.

So, don't say anything that lacks a common language. We have the same memories, the same hearts; It's just that the different experiences in this world have given us different temperaments—there are all kinds of differences between people. We are different people, but we care about each other, trust each other, and truly love each other...... That's enough."

Yin Shuang was silent for a long time, and said in a low voice: "In this world, the most unreliable thing is probably the 'heart'."

Wu Xie smiled and pressed her hand to her chest, so that she could clearly feel her heartbeat: "If one day, you feel that this guy has betrayed you, then dig it out"

"Don't say such things" Yin Shuang's face changed greatly, and he hurriedly pulled out his hand and covered his mouth, "How can you talk nonsense, there are some things that can't be said"

There is a well-known taboo among the monks not to talk about the future. Especially for those who have cultivated to the highest level, their strength has gradually touched on fate and cause and effect, and often unintentional casual words will become a reality many years later.

At first glance, this situation may seem like nothing. But according to statistics, most, if not the vast majority of cases, it is a good and not a bad spirit, just like a crow's mouth.

So when she heard Wu Xie make such a promise, Yin Shuang was shocked - what Wu Xie said, even if it was only possible, was enough to ⊥ her frightened

Wu Xie didn't care, and hugged her with a smile.

He could feel that the body in his arms was trembling slightly.

Yin Shuang is a very strong and even fierce person, she can gain a firm foothold in the dangerous Demon Gate, step by step to the current height, which can prove that she is not a good man and a woman.

But no matter how fierce a person is, there will inevitably be softness in his heart. The softness in Yin Shuang's heart is Wu Jie. When it comes to Wu Jie, she will lose her coolness, she will no longer be fierce, and she will be afraid

Wu Xie gently patted her on the back, signaling not to be nervous.

"Don't be afraid," he whispered in her ear, "we can break through the barriers of the worldly realm and meet each other, we can break through the order of the two sides of the Dao and the demon and come together, what else can stop us?" ”

Yin Shuang's trembling gradually stopped, and she sighed deeply.

"I always felt ...... Life now is like a dream...... I don't know when this dream will wake up, I am still alone in the Blood Sect, and I am still a junior disciple who is not worth mentioning......"

"It's not a dream, I'm by your side and we'll always be together"

Yin Shuang raised his head, his bright red eyes as blood-like as carefully staring at him, as if he wanted to carve his face into his heart.

Wu Xie smiled softly and responded to her gaze, but his gaze slipped naturally and landed on her slightly bloodless lips.

Probably a little cold, right? But it's definitely soft and smells good......

Yin Shuang noticed his gaze, and immediately blushed, and fled from his arms in a panic, just like a little rabbit being chased by a big bad wolf.

Wu Xie Ha Lu Ha laughed, chased after her and held her hand.

"Come with me, I'll take you somewhere."

"It can't be a motel, right?"

“…… Where did you come from a motel in this world, you think too much" Wu Xie couldn't cry or laugh, shook his head, took her hand, and followed the endless stream of pedestrians, all the way forward on the flat country road.

After walking for about half an hour, after turning a pine and cypress, the front suddenly opened up, but it was a solemn cemetery.

At the entrance to the cemetery, there is a group of soldiers guarding it. They were young and old, but they all seemed to be in good spirits, all with their heads held high, full of pride and pride.

Yin Shuang's gaze swept over those people, and he was suddenly stunned for a moment, took a closer look at the middle-aged man at the head, and then looked back at Wu Xie again.

She felt ...... The person's appearance was quite similar to Wu Jie......

"It's my eldest brother's descendant, and he looks a bit like me, so it's not surprising." Wu Xie smiled, "It's all the Wu family - in fact, my eldest brother's second grandson is similar to me, it's just carved out of a mold, it's a lot taller than me......"

"It's nice to have family"

Wu Xie smiled and clenched her hand.

"What a fool's errand, aren't we just family?"

Yin Shuang was silent for a moment and nodded slightly.

Because of the trick, the soldiers guarding the entrance of the cemetery did not find out Wu Jie's identity, so they easily followed the crowd of worshippers into the depths of the cemetery.

There is not only one tomb in the cemetery, but many graves are arranged in a staggered manner. Not only the Marquis of Wu in the past dynasties are buried here, but also some loyal people from Zhaoyang County, because the family is broken and there is no suitable cemetery, they are also buried here.

For example, not long after they left, they saw the tomb of Yao Xiang, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites. This Lord Yao was originally a member of the Yao family of the famous family of Great Chu, but when the Great Chu Kingdom fell, he despised the ugly performance of the clansmen, went to the ancestral hall to wipe his name in the genealogy, and then came to the gate of Changning City, shouting "Great Chu can fall, Yao Xiang does not fall", jumped down and fell to his death at the city gate.

As a "traitor" who disobeyed the Han Dynasty, the Yao family, who was busy surrendering to the new dynasty and continuing to stabilize the family and gain benefits, naturally could not let Yao Xiang be buried in the Yao family's cemetery. Yao Xiang had no children, and his nephew Yao Tong, who was as close as father and son, cried loudly, cremated his uncle's body, and slept on the street with the ashes altar, like a beggar.

A few months later, Yao Tong took his uncle's ashes, climbed the fire cloud, and came to Nanping County.

After he settled down, he found the Wu family and asked the Wu family to let his uncle be buried in the Wu Hou Cemetery because of his affection for the envoy who had been with Ji Shihou.

The Wu family naturally would not refuse loyal people, so there was an outsider's tomb in the cemetery.

Wu Jieshen's eyes were like torches, and he saw the words on the epitaph clearly with just one sweep, sighed lightly, and walked towards the tombstone

Back then, he once felt that the characters of the Eastern Chu Kingdom were really unbearable and could not support the country at all. But now it seems that he is just too demanding.

A person like Yao Xiang, even though his ability is mediocre, is definitely not unbearable. With this loyalty alone, he is qualified to be respected by Wu Jie

After walking for a while, they saw many tombs one after another, and many of them were familiar to him.

The tomb of Shen Yi, the head of the Nanhua Sword Sect of the Great Chu State, is very close to Yao Xiang's tomb, and the master who transported grain to Nanping County with Wu Xie has been training warriors for the Great Chu State for decades, and he is a thorn in the side of the Han army. When Changning City fell, they asked several Sword Immortals of the White Emperor Pavilion to surround them from afar, so that Shen Yi could not break through and escape. Then six or seven innate masters swarmed up.

Even though Shen Yi is strong in martial arts, he can't beat so many people. He fought hard for four hours with the Nanhua Sword Sect Zhibao Broken Water Sword, which Wu Xie helped to recapture from the traitor Wei Shu, and finally the sword was broken and died, and the blood stained the loess.

The Han army had the intention of hanging his body for public display, but was dissuaded by the monks of the White Emperor Pavilion. Just burn his body to ashes and scatter it into the river. Later, when the people in the center of Changning City followed Xiong Jiong to Nanping County, Shen Yi's grandson carried the spiritual seats of the seventy-six martyrs of the Nanhua Sword Sect on his back, held the broken water sword in two, and followed the crowd to the fire cloud.

After arriving in Nanping County, someone who had studied martial arts under Nanhua found the Wu family and suggested that the Wu family also place Shen Yi's tomb in the cemetery. After all, Shen Yi and the Wu family have been friends for generations, and they are really not outsiders.

Of course, it was impossible for the Wu family to refuse, so there was another tomb in the mausoleum, and there were no corpses in the tomb, only a half-truncated sword.

Similar tombs also include the tomb of the sword concubine who guarded the forbidden palace of the Great Chu State. Jian Ji did not leave a corpse after her death, and her adopted daughter could only replace the corpse with her adoptive mother's clothes before her death, and built a clothed mound, which was opposite Shen Yi's tomb, across the bluestone paved road, facing each other from a distance. It's like when they were alive, one guarded the palace and the other guarded the palace, guarding Changning City together.

Wu Xie and Yin Shuang walked between the graves, introducing her to the owners of these tombs as they went. In his memory, these people are all vivid images, and their voices and smiles are still vivid, as if it has only been a few days since the last goodbye.

But in reality, many years have passed, and these people are no longer there.

Yin Shuang listened to Wu Jie's introduction, and her mood gradually became heavy.

The Yin family outside the sky has long been wiped out, and the Blood Sect has become history. But Yin Shuang neither hung on the Yin family, nor did he miss the Blood Sect - the Demon Sect does not advocate nostalgia for the dead, because in their opinion, death is useless, and useless people are not worth remembering

In fact...... The Demon Gate will even use the corpses of many deceased people as refining materials, and all kinds of methods are really outrageous

Yin Shuang didn't like the practices of the Demon Gate, but she had been exposed to it all year round, and it was impossible for her not to be affected. Now watching Wu Xie slowly talk about the things of those friends in their lifetimes, his smile is both kind and sad, and he can't help but feel a little stunned.

Wu Jie's world is completely different from her world world

Can people from two different worlds really come together in peace? Can you really stay together for a long time and never be separated?

Yin Shuang was very upset, but she didn't say it.

If it is said out, probably Wu Xie will laugh again. He will definitely say, "I have heard that some people in this world suffer from premarital depression, and the closer they get to marriage, the more depressed and melancholy they feel." Constantly wondering, 'Am I not supposed to get married?' Can a person like me really be happy?' It's stupid and mentally retarded. Some people really do ridiculous things because of such stupid ideas...... But you're different, you're an immortal, so let's show a little bit of the backbone of an immortal."

Well...... He would have said that and would have hugged her, smiling as he held her hard

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but think of the situation just now.

At that time, Wu Jie's face was almost on hers, and she could clearly feel his breathing, warm breathing, full of manly breath.

His lips were not thick, but they were powerful, if he had kissed them at that time......

"Why is your face red again? Uncomfortable? Still upset? Wu Xie asked a little puzzled, "Oh...... It seems that you gods do not have the habit of remembering the dead...... If you don't like these things, I won't talk about them. ”

Yin Shuang came back to her senses and hurriedly shook her head in denial.

"I love it, you go on"

Her voice was a little loud, revealing panic that could not be concealed.

Wu Xie frowned, not understanding what she meant, but continued to speak.

As they spoke, they gradually came to the deepest part of the cemetery.

Wu Jie's parents and brother and sister-in-law are buried here, and next to the tomb of the old Wuhou couple and the big Wuhou couple, there is a small thatched house, which was built when he guarded the tomb of his parents.

This time, Wu Xie was not busy introducing the thatched house to Yin Shuang, but took her hand and came to her parents' tombstone.

"Father, mother, you have been worried about my lifelong events before your death, the child is not filial, so that the second elder has not been able to get his wish until the end...... Today, I brought my daughter-in-law, and although I know that you have been reincarnated, you must be living well in this life, but I still ......"

Wu Jie's voice gradually became so low that even Yin Shuang couldn't hear what he was saying.

But she had already heard the previous words clearly, and she had already understood the real purpose of Wu Xie bringing her here.

Wu Xie brought her here, not only to explain his past life to her in detail, but also to introduce her to those relatives and friends. The most important thing is that he brought her here to introduce her to his parents and introduce this daughter-in-law who made the second elder unable to wait until she died

Before she knew it, tears flowed from her eyes, blurring her vision.

After Wu Xie finished speaking, he turned around and clenched her hand: "As for me, I can't say anything nice...... Can you marry me? ”

Yin Shuang didn't speak, and nodded heavily.

In the next moment, the two figures hugged each other tightly, their lips touching.
