Chapter 357: Finale (2)
Gu Baiying went to the Wudanlin Desert.
The desert is barren and uninhabited, and the bustling oasis of the city has long since turned into a mirage and disappeared into the traveler's dream.
The sun is setting from the end of the desert, and the night breeze is blowing in the distance.
The city of Wufan, which existed in the illusion, had been shattered, and the desert was quiet and vast. The stars in the sky are like shrunken bonfires, hiding the gorgeous skirts that are invisible. The drums are exciting, the singing is enthusiastic, and the girl's skirt is painted red and embroidered green, as if it is a gorgeous long painting slowly spreading.
A handkerchief flew out of nowhere and landed in the sand, half of which was crumpled by the wind, like a silk flower that had been folded up.
He was also here, and received silk flowers one after another.
At that time, the hairpin star sat beside him, looking at the silk flower in front of him, teaching him not to be rude. At that time, under the misguidance of Mendong, he misunderstood the expression on her face, thinking that she was disappointed because she didn't receive the flower, so he went to the dance party angrily and forced people to dance with the hairpin.
In fact, now that I think about it, he should have given her a flower at that time.
Gu Baiying put his hands behind his head and lay down with his head leaning on the sand dunes behind him.
The Milky Way was facing him, twinkling silently in the vast night sky.
Whether it's real or mirage, the starry sky is always as lively.
Xu Douniang also had a dream in such a desert like him. They once thought that the little girl was naΓ―ve, so she would easily fall into the mirage's dream. Otherwise, ordinary people will wonder how their father, who has been missing for many years, suddenly appeared in front of their eyes.
However, Gu Baiying now understands that when the hope that has been waiting for many years appears in front of his eyes, no matter how sober a person is, it is difficult for him to have the courage to choose the cruelty of the truth.
It's better to sink in a sweet dream.
On Gufeng Mountain, by the Changchun Pond, Pu Zhu of the Xiangling Sect asked him: "She is no longer there, do you still have to wait?" β
Gu Baiying replied: "I'm not afraid to wait. β
He didn't lie, when he was on Gufeng Mountain, he guarded the winged flower tree left by the Qinghua Fairy, and he waited for more than ten years, and he was never in a hurry.
He's patient, he's good at waiting.
He was just afraid, this waiting is the end.
......
Gu Baiying also went to the treasure place.
In the snow valley of the treasure field, the snow is still as deep as ever. Heavy snow fell one after another, and new snow covered the old snow, and the snowfields were as vast as jade, as far as the eye could see.
The two names written side by side in the snow have long been blown away by the wind. Even if he pinched the trick to avoid the wind and carefully guarded the two names, he would eventually be annihilated by the heavy snow.
As it once was, a city in the snowfield.
He spent the night here, and the next day, he wrote his two names again and turned away.
......
After that, Gu Baiying went to Yuyu Mountain.
Yu Hungry Mountain is now much greener and denser than before.
As the aura gradually became abundant, the vegetation on the mountain was also enriched. A few years ago, the demon clan's Xiaoshuang led his subordinates, carrying several large boxes of seeds, to fulfill the promise of the year - to plant flowers for the rest of the hungry mountain.
At the beginning, the hairpin star led the demon clan into the mountain, and as soon as he entered the mountain, he encountered the demon army, and the two parties fought and destroyed the flower forest of the Yuyu Mountain, which made the two patriarchs of the Si Nu clan and the Si Shi clan feel distressed for a long time. In order to get Si Youguo's help, Xiaoshuang apologized and promised to help them restore the destroyed flower forest in the future. After the flood, everything was normal in Black Rock City, and Xiaoshuang got Bujiang's permission, so he came to keep his promise and come to plant flowers.
After a few years, the flowers and trees planted began to flourish, and the whole mountain forest was bustling lively. Mountain orchid, peony, hibiscus, begonia, different shades, incisive.
Those Buddha statues were damaged a lot, when the flood was the most fierce, the flood overflowed, many Buddha statues were washed away and floated away, and later people recovered, not the same as before, so they simply gave up.
Next to the large and small pools, signs made of wood were erected. This sign is more conspicuous than it was back then, and the picture on it is no longer a pattern that no one else can guess. Instead, it is written succinctly in two words: danger.
However, at the beginning, the flood took away most of the essence of water and wood, and now, there are few unlucky ghosts who come to Yuyu Mountain who are dragged into the water as coldly as back then. There are still as many birds, beasts and leopards as ever, hovering around the mountains and forests, beware of uninvited guests who destroy flowers and trees.
Qiongniang and You Lang are still the same, but in Si Youguo, there are more vacant houses. The two patriarchs are still faintly misanthropic between the eyebrows, and in the past few years, the people of Si Youguo have passed away again. One day, this group will disappear from the land of the capital.
Qiong Niang said: "It rained heavily last night, and the newly opened peony broke another branch. β
The vicissitudes of life, the changes in the world, birth, old age, sickness and death are not the normal state of life, for them, it is not as important as a flower blooming and falling.
Liuquan Temple is still the same, in front of the five-wheel tower, there are many kinds of honeysuckle.
Large swaths of honeysuckle flowers resemble small wheels, reflecting the golden sunset at the top of the pagoda.
After the destruction of the Buddha Wheel of Two Lives, the "balance" of Yu Hungry Mountain was broken. You don't need to be balanced to get into the mountains. But now, no monk would come here to try it out of his way - trials without rewards have never been worth it.
The picture of the two hated ethnic groups back then being forced to work together to enter the mountains in pairs is impossible to see in the future.
Gu Baiying actually couldn't remember what she said at that time, but she could clearly remember the warmth of her palm when she held her hand.
Just like he remembered that later, at the instigation of everyone, he went to deliver medicine to the hairpin. The hairpin looked at him with a lukewarm expression.
He is used to not being very delicate about his feelings, and he doesn't understand the sudden alienation of the hairpin, and after a long time, someone said that on the night of Si Youguo, he saw the hairpin star and Pu Zhu talking a few words in the forest.
Mendong suddenly realized: "When the rival in love meets, her eyes are very red, uncle, she is jealous!" β
It turned out that she was jealous.
Gu Baiying raised her eyes and couldn't help laughing.
When he was with her, most of the time, he was tossing and turning. On the contrary, after she left, in various ways, from the mouths of all kinds of people, I got a glimpse of her secret intentions.
The sunset is like a spinning wheel, dazzling.
is as persistent as a ghost, and in the end, he failed to leave a figure of the past. Time flows away, moving forward with the torrent, leaving only memories for the rest.
The Buddha Wheel of Two Lives has become a legend, and there is no way to resurrect the dead, even if there is, it will not work.
In order to save his beloved, he can kill all the beings in the Three Realms to be buried with him. And he can't, his beloved person was originally sacrificed to protect the common people. In fact, if he could, he would rather be a pawn of that heavenly dao.
She is ruthless to him, but gentle to the world.
The young man stood in front of the pagoda for a long time until the setting sun fell from the spire and sank into the entire mountain. The moon rises in the distance, and the night of the hungry mountain is still and the water is cold.
He stepped on the mountain and left without looking back.
"Brother Shen!"
"Hmm!"
Shen Changqing walked on the road, and when he met someone he knew well, he would say hello to each other or nod his head.
But it doesn't matter who it is.
There was no superfluous expression on everyone's face, as if they were very indifferent to everything.
on this.
Shen Changqing is used to it.
Because this is the Demon Suppression Division, it is an institution that maintains the stability of Great Qin, and its main responsibility is to kill demons and monsters, and of course there are some other side jobs.
Arguably.
In the Demon Suppression Division, everyone has a lot of blood on their hands.
When a person is accustomed to seeing life and death, then he will become indifferent to many things.
When he first came to this world, Shen Changqing was a little uncomfortable, but over time he got used to it.
The Demon Suppression Division is huge.
The people who can stay in the Demon Suppression Division are all powerful masters, or people who have the potential to become masters.
Shen Changqing belongs to the latter.
Among them, the Demon Suppression Division is divided into two professions, one is the town guard and the other is the demon exterminator.
Anyone who enters the Demon Suppression Division starts with the lowest level of demon slayer.
Then step by step, he is expected to become a town guard.
Shen Changqing's predecessor was a trainee demon slayer in the Demon Suppression Division, and he was also the lowest level of the demon slayer envoys.
Have memories of the predecessor.
He is also very familiar with the environment of the Demon Suppression Division.
It didn't take long for Shen Changqing to stop in front of an attic.
Unlike other places full of slaughter, the attic here seems to stand out from the crowd, and in the bloody Demon Suppression Division, it presents a different tranquility.
At this time, the attic door is open, and there are occasional people entering and exiting.
Shen Changqing only hesitated for a moment, and then stepped in.
Access to the attic.
The environment has changed in vain.
A burst of ink fragrance mixed with the faint smell of blood came to his face, making his brow furrow instinctively, but quickly stretched.
The smell of blood on everyone's body in the Demon Suppression Division is almost impossible to clean.
