Chapter 170: Hope
The two of them deliberately went to the phantom room to take a look, and there was indeed a flower pot that didn't grow anything.
Lin Qiyi was overjoyed in his heart, and took Fan Xiaotan and went straight to the East Pole.
The eastern pole is still the same, a red land is lifeless, the sun seems to be so close that even the land is dry.
The only thing that has changed is that a tall tree has grown from the crack that has been sealed by the long extinction, the crown of which is just as big as a century-old banyan tree, but the leaves are like a sycamore.
"It can grow here, and it's only the sacred tree. Fan Xiaotan was surprised: "It's okay, it can be regarded as adding a little bit of vitality here." β
There seemed to be a bird's chirping among the trees, and no one paid much attention to it except for making people laugh.
Lin Qiyi walked over to Chang Jue and stood still, "Are you really not going to leave this place?"
Seeing that Chang Jue still didn't react, Lin Qiyi said again, "You will only make people worry like this, do you think about it, if the illusion is there, is he willing to see you like this?"
Changjue's eyes were closed, so he couldn't move.
"Forget it, I've said enough of these words, in fact, I just want to tell you what Phantom Wu explained to me. β
Listening to Lin Qiyi's words, Chang Jue's eyelids moved slightly.
Lin Qiyi saw that he had a reaction, and hurriedly said: "She specially explained to me before leaving, so that you can take good care of the flower seeds in her room and wait for it to take root and sprout...... I wondered how she could have given you such a thing, and you said she had left some message for you, or ......"
Lin Qiyi didn't say anything, and the red figure that was sitting well suddenly stood up, jumped up towards the sky, and soon flew away without a shadow.
"Eh, where is he going?!" Fan Xiaotan said urgently.
Lin Qiyi clasped his hands around his chest proudly: "Where else can I go, when people are going to dream of the valley, I'll just say that this trick is useful, right?"
Fan Xiaotan glanced at him: "What else do you say, I think you forgot, you didn't remember it earlier!"
Changjue returned to the Valley of Dreams, although he still looked serious and indifferent, and no one cared about him, but at least he could stand and walk, and he looked like a normal person.
As if he had expected it, he left a note next to the pot with instructions on how to take care of the pot, but in fact there were only two - it needed to be watered once a day, and it should not be moved.
Although I don't know what kind of precious flower species this is so fragile, at least it gives Chang Jue something to do every day.
Chang Jue guarded the pot of flowers every day, wishing that his eyes were growing in the pot, but day by day, the pot soil still did not move.
Fan Xiaotan also often came to stay in the phantom room, he didn't feel it when he was there before, but now that he is gone, he understands that some people have become important imperceptibly.
"When will this potting soil sprout?" Fan Xiaotan lay on the table, looking at the flower pot by the window in a daze.
Lin Qiyi replied, "Alas...... I don't think the potting soil will sprout. β
"What are you talking about!" Fan Xiaotan glanced at him, but he didn't say anything to refute it, in fact, by now, they all understood that this was just a well-intentioned "lie" left by Shang Huanwu to Changjue.
Maybe at first there was a little hope that a flower would really bloom in this pot, or that there would be a little phantom remnant soul on it...... But now there is little hope.
Even Hui Ming didn't show a little joy when he saw this pot of soil, and he deliberately went to the underworld to look for it, hoping to find a little phantom remnant soul like he did when he looked for Luo Zhao's remnant soul, but the result was also in vain.
Fan Xiaotan buried his head in the crook of his arm, and the two fell into silence.
"How can there be a pot of soil here?" a hand reached out of the window, grabbed the edge of the pot, and carried the small pot straight out of the window.
Lin Qiyi and Fan Xiaotan in the room were startled by this sudden sound, and they jumped out only to find that Lin Qiyi's aunt was holding a flower pot and looking at it.
"Auntie!" Lin Qiyi was really shocked at this moment: "Why are you here? No, no, it doesn't matter, Auntie, put down the flower pot." β
Although Fan Xiaotan has never seen Lin Qiyi, the senior aunt, she has heard different people talk about her a long time ago, this is the wife of the Ghost Emperor, she looks so young.
Yu Youqing hugged the flower pot and sneered: "Flower pots, you are all popular now...... She suddenly put her hand into the soil and began to dig up the soil.
"Auntie!" Lin Qiyi almost fainted, although this pot of flowers is a disguise, but it can also make Changjue live with peace of mind, if this "window paper" is pierced, isn't it going to be a long life?
Fan Xiaotan really felt the ability of Lin Qiyi's aunt to make people's hearts go up and down this time, she was not as afraid of this aunt as Lin Qiyi, and rushed up to grab the pot with one arrow step.
"Oops!" Yu Youqing deftly dodged away, not forgetting to wink at her; "You are Lin Qiyi's little daughter-in-law?"
Fan Xiaotan's face turned red, but the action still didn't stop: "Senior aunt, you better return the things to me!"
"Don't give it, you have the ability to grab it!" Yu Youqing's head-scratching personality is really exactly the same as that of the people of Ji Xi Dao, and he really deserves to be a senior brother and sister.
Yu Youqing's attention was on the two people opposite, and Leng Buding jumped out of the side to grab the pot, she couldn't dodge, and threw the flower pot directly at Fan Xiaotan, but fortunately, Fan Xiaotan reacted quickly and hugged the pot.
"Auntie, don't make a fuss, okay?!" Lin Qiyi patted the little heart that almost popped out of his throat, regardless of the etiquette of the junior, and directly pulled Yu Youqing to his side.
In fact, he was afraid that Chang Jue would suddenly appear, so he would ignite her aunt in anger......
The person who jumped out just now was Changjue, although he was not in the phantom room, but there was a little movement and he immediately rushed over.
He also knew Yu Youqing, otherwise her action just now was enough to make Chang Jue do it.
Chang Jue's emotionless gaze swept over several people and looked at the flower pot in Fan Xiaotan's arms.
Fan Xiaotan understood and returned the flower pot to him: "I have quick eyes and quick hands, and I don't have anything to do." β
Chang Jue took the flower pot and left without saying a word.
Yu Youqing looked puzzled: "I said that you are all right, are you okay?"
As soon as she said this, everyone froze, they were not unaware of this illusion, and no one had ever faced this fragile hope like a bubble.
Now the bubble was punctured by life, and this feeling still made everyone feel like a lightning strike.
Lin Qiyi pulled Yu Youqing over: "Senior aunt, don't you say it?"
"Hey, isn't this a word to say? Originally, there was no anger in this pot of soil, and I opened it to see, but it was a stone, or a stone made of spiritual power, which could absorb a little water, but it would definitely not sprout and grow. Yu Youqing looked innocent, but he said the most cruel truth.
Everyone stopped talking, and saw Chang Jue put his hand into the basin and took out a bead with a faint blue light from it, and anyone with a discerning eye could see that it was indeed a stone that had been blessed with spiritual power.
Chang Jue suddenly laughed, he seemed to be able to imagine the smug appearance of the illusion, she would definitely smile and say, "How is it?
"Long ......" Fan Xiaotan wanted to say something comforting, but he couldn't say anything when the words came to his mouth.
The stone was pulled out, and the spiritual power attached to it dissipated little by little, like a wisp of light smoke into the wind, and it could no longer be seen.
"No!" the pot fell to the ground, shattering the last hope.
Chang Jue hurriedly stretched out his hand to hold the wisp of light smoke, but only held a hand of nothingness, he withdrew his hand, and watched the faint blue* mark in his palm gradually annihilate with the dissipation of the last bit of spiritual power left by the phantom in the world.
He stared at the butterfly disappearing in his palm, as if the illusion of the day had dissipated in front of his eyes, and suddenly his heart ached, and he fell to his knees and shook his head.
"No, no......"
The reason why I still believe that there is hope is precisely because of the mark of the palm. At the beginning, he had a seal with the phantom, and this seal would not disappear unless a person diedβ"At that time, you will no longer be my servant, and you will be free." β
Freedom? Is that freedom? He doesn't want it, he doesn't want it at all!
He stood up, and as soon as his body moved, he flew into the air.
Seeing his crazy appearance, his heart moved and immediately shouted at him: "Banyan tree!
Chang Jue stopped and turned to look at her with an inquiring look in his eyes. Fan Xiaotan saw that he was moved, and then said: "Phantom Wu is used to putting the things she cherishes in the hollow of the banyan tree, there may be something there!"
Hearing this, Chang Jue turned around and flew towards the back mountain.
Lin Qiyi looked at Fan Xiaotan with a worried face: "We don't need to look at him......"
"Go! I have something to tell him!"
The two followed to the back mountain, and saw Chang Jue standing under the banyan tree, holding a clay puppet in his hand.
Lin Qiyi saw that it was not the birthday gift that Chang Jue gave to Phantom Wu at the beginning, and it seemed that she was hiding in the hollow of the tree.
This clay figure is not good enough, but it also took him a long time to do, and at that time he still said to Phantom Wu that this clay figure is himself.
Chang Jue curled the corners of his lips, and his smile was bleak, he hesitated, and lightly tapped his finger on the clay man's forehead - "Phantom Wu, how are you?"
This is what he did with the spirit of speech...... "I'm fine, what about you?"
This is the voice of the phantom, and she also sealed the spirit technique on the villain, so she ......
Changjue's fingertips trembled a little, and he nodded to the villain's hand againβ"Aren't you happy? β
"Ah Jue, you don't know, you are by my side, in fact, I have a good time every day. β
"Ah Wu, do you miss me? β
"I miss you too, you still have to remember to miss me in the future, even if you don't have me by your side, you'll have a good life, right? Forgive me for my little jokes, remember to laugh more......"
Lin Qiyi and Fan Xiaotan stood not far away, and they watched Chang Jue poke the villain again and again, and the phantom words came out one after another, but they only made people feel sad when they heard it.
She had expected it a long time ago, she was afraid that she would not be able to come back alive, but she always hid everything in her heart, and the only thing she didn't hide was her attachment to Changjue.
Fan Xiaotan: "Changjue, when Phantom Wu drove you away before blocking the catastrophe for you, I came here to question her. That's when she asked me to help and hung a wish-making sign on the tree. I promised her that I would keep it a secret for her, but now that I'm going to break my promise, I still want you to know what she wanted, and I think that's what she wants to say to you. β
Chang Jue Tu glanced at her, and flew up to the banyan tree in a flash, looking for the wooden sign in Fan Xiaotan's mouth among the branches.
Wooden ...... In the town of Acacia, there is also a wishing tree, where Phantom Wu took a wishing card. The old man under the tree also said that the higher the wishing card is hung, the easier it will be to realize the wish.
Chang Jue went straight to the highest place, and sure enough, he saw a small wooden sign on the branch of the tallest banyan tree, and he was right, it was the one he got in Huhuai Town.
At that time, she did not make a wish, she always believed that only those who could not ask for it would place their wishes on the gods, and her wish would still be fulfilled by herself.
Chang Jue took a deep breath and flipped the wooden sign over - "I want to know you and live a long life." β
It turned out that this was Phantom's wish, because she knew that she would not be able to be with him for a long time in the end, so she pinned her most desired but unfulfilled wish on this wooden card.
Maybe from the moment she played the wooden card, she had already decided her own ending.
She has been living towards death, and she has never been afraid and has never stopped, but she still left a place in her heart for her own Changjue.
She wants to live well for a long time - not to die for love, to live for love.
His long fingertips tracing the wooden sign lightly, his eyes were gentle and bright, as if he was looking at the face through the sign.
"Ah Wu, don't be afraid, I'm coming to you. β
Lin Qiyi and Fan Xiaotan stood under the tree and waited, and suddenly saw the figure of Chang Jue rising into the air and flying to the sky in an instant.
Fan Xiaotan stomped his feet: "Where is he going?"
"Where else can I go? The big deal is to go back to the place where the East Pole disillusionment has dissipated and wait stupidly. Lin Qiyi's face was helpless.
The two of them were right, and Changjue returned to the East Pole.
Luo Zhao and Yinyi heard that he was going back again, and they were afraid that their own son would not be able to think about it for a while, so they also rushed over.
The god of war looked at his son in a daze at a small wooden sign, and pushed his husband next to him: "You go and persuade it!"
Yin Yi shook his head, "This can't be persuaded, you can only go through it if you figure it out." β
"Will he figure it out then?"
Yin Yi continued to shake her head.
Luo Zhao wanted to be angry, but when he saw Yinyi's face and tone, he unconsciously softened: "My son has the same virtue as you, and if you are stubborn, I don't think he will figure it out." God is too ruthless to my son, right, to become a god is to have nothing...... I don't want to watch him die alone. β
Yin Yi rubbed his wife's forehead hair and hugged her tighter.
Fan Xiaotan saw this pair of big-hearted parents, and decided to go up and persuade herself: "Changjue, don't be like this, you will be sad if you are like this again......"
I thought that the chief would never respond, but I didn't expect him to speak: "You don't have to worry, I'm fine, I just want to wait for her here." β
He touched the wooden sign and smiled: "If she can't see me at first sight, she will be disappointed." β
"Do you really think she'll come back?"
Chang Jue nodded, his gaze left the wooden card, looked at Fan Xiaotan and said, "She said that she would go first and wait for me in front...... But I've already arrived, why hasn't she come yet? She said okay to wait for me, but she asked me to wait for her, she really didn't make people feel at ease......
As he spoke, tears welled up in his clear eyes, and a drop hit the wooden card with a light sound.
For so long, Chang Jue has not shed tears, not when he was injured and bleeding, even at the moment when the illusion was scattered, but at this time he cried.
Fan Xiaotan's nose was sour, and her eyes were red, and she forced a smile: "She, she's so stupid and squeamish. can't endure a little hardship, and if you take two steps, you will say that you are tired......" Tears couldn't help rolling down, Fan Xiaotan raised her hand and pressed her eyes: "A person like her, she will have to rest after walking for a while, she must be slower than you, maybe where are you sleeping now...... Wait, you know, she's trying to get to you......"
Lin Qiyi, who had not spoken, had red eyes, and couldn't help but turn her head and sniff.
There was a "click", and something hit him on the head. Lin Qiyi was already uncomfortable, and he was even more depressed at this time, he looked up and saw that a white-haired and red-billed bird was hovering above his head.
"It's you......" Lin Qiyi recognized, this seemed to be the pearl bird that followed him back from the realm of the dead, why was he here?
He rubbed his head and looked dissatisfied: "When is it, you still throw things at me...... What is it?"
Lin Qiyi looked down, and a small round pearl-like bead popped out of his head, and then rolled to the ground, and the bones rolled to Changjue's side.
Two slender fingers picked up the beads and put them in front of him to look closely, Chang Jue frowned, as if he was thinking about something.
Lin Qiyi patted his head: "Isn't this my aunt's young pearl, no, why is this bead here?"
"I remembered!" Luo Zhao suddenly said: "I felt uncomfortable on my body after the big battle that day, and then a bead rolled out, this is it, is there anything special about this bead?"
Lin Qiyi became excited: "This is the young Qing pearl of Yunmengzhou! Phantom Wu said that Ji Ming wants to use this bead to replenish the remnant soul of the God of War, and it must be put into the painting silk by Ji Ming." Lord War's soul is complete, and this bead doesn't work, that's why it appears on the adult!"
"Wait!" Fan Xiaotan wiped the tears from his face, and stared directly at the beads on Changjue's hand, the young pearls were covered with a faint blue light, like blue silk threads swimming in it, reflecting a little blue light on his long and white fingertips.
"You said that this bead can absorb remnant souls, and it has always been on the God of War, except for Chang Jue when the illusion is scattered, isn't the closest one to the God of War?" Fan Xiaotan suppressed the joy on his face, afraid that he was wrong, so he asked Lin Qiyi vigorously, but his words stumbled: "You say, will there be a remnant soul of the phantom can be sucked by the young Qingzhu......
Before she could finish her question, the long figure disappeared.
Fan Xiaotan looked at the red shadow flying away: "What is he going to do again?"
Lin Qiyi patted her head in fear: "He, he must be a daughter-in-law planting in the phantom demon grass field in the dream valley in a hurry, ah no, he has planted flowers!"
Fan Xiaotan was still a little hesitant: "Now, it should be true, right?"
Lin Qiyi nodded: "It should be, the last time the Phantom Wu Gang Leader blocked the catastrophe, he sighed - 'Now the two of them, whether they are alive or dead, are destined to spend together.'" "Now I understand that the life and death tribulation of Changjue is also the life and death calamity of Phantom Wu, and Changjue has been reborn because of love, isn't Phantom Wu also survived this calamity with death?"
"Then let's not leave quickly!" Fan Xiaotan pulled Lin Qiyi over: "I must take a good look at how the phantom wuwu grows out of the ground, hahahaha......"
Luo Zhao and Yinyi watched the juniors leave one by one, and the white pearl bird let out a crisp cry and flew into the sky.
The clouds on the horizon were dyed a faint purple and pink, and rays of sunlight spilled through the clouds.
"You see, there's still hope. β
