Everything will pass, and life will go on.

After Han left the house, Dugu Zhishui and Ziqian spent half a year of peaceful life together. Half a year later, the Pure Land was finally close to the edge of the 100,000 Mountains again.

In the quiet night sky, the stars were shining, and Dugu Zhishui and Ziqian were lying on the grass by the Crescent Lake, looking up at the endless starry sky, everything was so peaceful and peaceful.

"Brother Zhishui, now that the Pure Land has reached the edge of the 100,000 Great Mountain, what are your plans in the future?" I don't know how long it has been, Zi Qian suddenly said in a loud voice.

"I want to go to the outside world to see, do you want to go with me?" Dugu Zhishui turned his head to look at Ziqian beside him, with some hope in his eyes.

"I ...... I can't go, Brother Zhishui, I'm going home......"

"Yes. A flash of disappointment flashed in Dugu Zhishui's eyes, and he forced a smile: "You really should go back, after all, you have been out for four years, and your family is probably dying." ”

"Hmm. Ziqian stopped making a sound, in fact, her heart hurt so much when she saw the loss in Dugu Zhishui's eyes, and at that moment she really wanted to say, "I'll go with you." But she can't, even if it's for Dugu Zhishui, she can't be with him, at least...... Not right now.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but think of the conversation that Han Liyan had with her before leaving.

Time goes back to half a year ago.

"Master, is there something wrong?" Zi Qian asked as she looked at the young man standing in front of her.

"Hmm. Han Liyan turned around and smiled slightly, "It's really a blessing for the water-stopping kid to meet you." ”

"Master, what are you talking about......" Ziqian could naturally understand the meaning of Han Li's words, and two red clouds floated on her pretty face at the moment.

Han Liyan looked at Ziqian, who rarely showed the posture of a little daughter, and sighed with emotion in her heart, I'm afraid that her people have never seen her like this.

"Girl, it seems that you also like the water stop boy. In that case, is it okay for Master to ask you to do something for Him?"

"What's the matter?"

"Leave him for now. ”

Hearing this, Zi Qian was slightly stunned, and then her face instantly turned pale as paper, and her voice trembled slightly: "Why? Doesn't Master approve of me being with Brother Zhishui!" At the end of the words, Zi Qian almost roared.

"Alas......" Han Liyan sighed, and then said: "Master is very much in favor of the two of you being together, and Master also blesses you, but now you are too weak, can you resist external pressure? You should know the rules of your clan, in order to ensure the purity of the bloodline, descendants are never allowed to intermarry with foreign clans. If you insist on being with the water stop boy, you can imagine what will happen to him. If Master is not by your side, there will be no one to protect you in the future, so you have to be careful in everything, understand?"

Ziqian was silent, and it seemed that her eyes were already misty.

"You have to work hard to cultivate after you go back, so that you can improve your status in the clan, so that you can have more say in the clan, so that you can control your own destiny, and when one day the two of you are strong enough, then no one will be able to stop you from being together. ”

"I know, I'll leave Brother Zhishui. Tears were already flowing from the corners of Ziqian's eyes, but she was stubborn and silent. Han Liyan took her into his arms with pity, and comforted her softly as if she were his own daughter......

Time comes back to the present.

Unconsciously, tears had blurred Ziqian's eyes, and Dugu Zhishui on the side noticed her abnormality, and asked nervously, "Qianqian, what's wrong with you?"

"It's fine. Ziqian wiped away her tears and said with a forced smile: "Brother Zhishui...... You...... Would you like to hug me?"

"Are you really okay?" Dugu Zhishui's eyes widened, staring at Ziqian in disbelief, always feeling that something was wrong.

"It's really okay, hurry up and hug me......" Ziqian shouted a little coquettishly.

Dugu Zhishui didn't delve into anything, because he knew that Ziqian wouldn't tell him anything. In that case, why bother yourself. He gently hugged Ziqian, like hugging the whole world. I don't know when, the two of them fell asleep like this.

The next day, Dugu Zhishui was awakened by the soft light of the newborn sun. He rubbed his sleepy eyes, then stretched comfortably. Suddenly, he was stunned. What about Ziqian?

At this moment, a huge sense of fear came inexplicably, and Dugu Zhishui nervously searched for Ziqian's figure. However, he was disappointed.

In the place where Zi Qian had been lying, he found a memory crystal, gently injected a little spiritual power, and a picture appeared in front of him.

The person in the picture is Ziqian, but she smiled while bursting into tears and said, "Bao Dan, I'm leaving, don't go to me." We're only temporarily apart, and I'm sure we'll see each other again. Cultivate hard, and come to me one day when you are strong enough, and then I will ...... Marry You......" At this point, the engram shattered and turned into powder.

Dugu Zhishui looked at his middle finger, and a purple ring was flashing with a faint light......

After Ziqian left, Dugu Zhishui suddenly felt empty in his heart, and he lived alone in the hut in the heart of the Crescent Lake for seven days. During these seven days, he finally made a major decision: to leave the Pure Land. Now that his cultivation realm has improved as fast as before, he knows that the further he cultivates, the more difficult it becomes, and if he wants to improve his strength faster, he must go to the outside world to train.

"Qianqian, wait for me to ......," Dugu Zhishui thought in his heart.

But what fate awaits him......

Today's funeral village is exceptionally quiet, for some reason, Dugu Zhishui always feels that there is something abnormal in the village, it seems to be a little ...... Dead.

"How can this be?" Dugu Zhishui was very puzzled in his heart.

Unconsciously, I have walked to the head of the village, a few magnolia trees are gently swaying in the breeze, and from time to time there are pieces of white petals gently falling, as if telling the sadness of the past......

At this time, under the magnolia tree, there was an old man with a rickety figure and a face full of vicissitudes.

"Grandpa, why are you here?" Dugu Zhishui said in surprise.

"I'm waiting for you. ”

"Wait for me?"

"You've decided to go?" the old man's gaze shone with wisdom.

"You...... You know it all, grandpa...... I ......" Dugu Zhishui lowered his head.

"Let's go, I know there will be a day like this. The old man said kindly with a calm gaze.

"Grandpa, no, I don't want to leave you, I just want to go to the outside world to see ......" Dugu Zhishui said urgently.

"Hehe, I know. The old man smiled and handed him a meniscus pendant. The pendant shimmered with a faint blue sheen, and at first glance it was not ordinary. "This is a pendant that you were carrying when I picked you up, it must have something to do with your background, take it, maybe you can find your biological parents in the future. ”

Dugu Zhishui took the crescent-shaped pendant, and there was a complicated look in his eyes. "They left me in this primeval forest back then, if it weren't for my grandfather, I would have been eaten by fierce beasts a long time ago, why should I look for them now, it's enough to have a grandfather. ”

"Silly boy, how do you know that your parents deliberately abandoned you? Maybe there is something hidden in it, and when you find them, the truth will come out, and then you will have to make a decision. ”

Dugu Zhishui hesitated, but still put the pendant around his neck. "I see, Grandpa. I'll try to find them. ”

"Haha...... Okay, good, good!" the old man suddenly looked up to the sky and laughed, "Child, the fate of the ancestors and grandchildren is over, and the dream should be awakened......"

"Grandpa, what are you talking about?" Dugu Zhishui finally noticed the abnormality and shouted anxiously. He instinctively ran forward, reaching out to grab Lao Dugubo. However, to his horror, he actually passed through the body of old Dugu Bo.

"Child, the past is like smoke, but Nanke is a dream. I am a dead person, but I can be reborn in the illusion, and now is the time, the illusion should be shattered. In the future, you will cherish yourself......"

The old man's figure faded away, and finally disappeared. At this moment, Dugu Zhishui felt a whirlwind of the world, and when he came to his senses, the scene in front of him made him momentarily stunned.

Rows of small mounds are quietly prostrate on the ground, two rows of magnolias are gently swaying on the side, and the tombstones made of black stone have long been stained with traces of time, many tombstones are mutilated, and the handwriting on them has long been illegible.

At this moment, Dugu Zhishui's breathing stagnated, and he looked at the other inscriptions like crazy, and the familiar names were like a steel knife inserted into his chest, crushing his heart little by little.

He looked at the back of the cemetery, a small village that had been deserted for an unknown number of years, with only a few ruins left, and a faint hint of familiarity could be felt.

"Ah......" Dugu Zhishui shouted to the sky, "It's not true, it's not true, this must be a dream...... "He fled like crazy.

Gradually, he was horrified to find that the face of the master in his memory was fading, and in the end only a vague back was left. And his power is gone, and he has become a mortal!

"How can this be, how can this be......" Dugu Zhishui kept running, hoping to escape from all this.

He didn't find Ziqian and Master's tombstones, but he wasn't sure if those broken tombstones would have their names on them, the rings on his fingers were still there, the pendants between his necks were still there, and the things he had learned were still there, but he wasn't sure if Master and Ziqian had ever existed.

"Why......?

Dugu Zhishui screamed, roaring unwillingly, he kept running, running blankly, not knowing where to go. The originally happy life turned into a bubble in a quarter of an hour, and those precious memories, those important people and things, instantly turned into a dream. The distance from heaven to hell is so close.

He didn't dare to think about it anymore, he didn't want to think about it anymore, what was true and what was false, true and false, false and true, he really couldn't tell the difference. His original belief in life collapsed in an instant, and he became a wanderer......
