Chapter 440 Millennium

Yuzhu's floor-to-ceiling skirt dragged over the messy bamboo leaves all over the ground, slightly squeezing, her face was slightly pale, and there seemed to be a trace of melancholy in the center of her eyebrows.

She walked silently all the way to the study, gently leaned against the tree and stared for a long time, the candles in the far room were full of candles, Bai Shanglu sat in front of the table under the window, hanging his head and holding a pen as if he was writing something, and he didn't know anything about the situation outside the window.

Through the window lattice, Yuzhu looked at it for a long time, lingered for a long time, raised her hand several times, and finally did not have the courage to knock on the door.

The moment Yuzhu turned to leave, Bai Shanglu suddenly got up, looked out the window for a long time, and finally brushed the tissue paper that had been written overnight to the ground, but the thin paper written on the tissue paper was only blank all night, it turned out that he had always known, all of them knew, but they all missed each other's thoughts in waiting, and the already elusive thoughts, if you don't say anything, I'm afraid that it will be more clear.

I really don't know if Bai Shanglu didn't have the life to be a general, or he was born with a broom star, he was still defeated in this battle, and was carried back by Shi Cianming, and the general of the defeated army would not have been greeted by anyone, but Bai Shanglu raised his eyes and saw that there was a jade bamboo under the city gate shrouded in blood and remnants, and his face was indifferent as if nothing had happened, leading a thin horse to greet him. His expression moved slightly, but it only dissipated in an instant, and he said with difficulty: "Come and see my embarrassment." ”

Yuzhu glanced at him, but his eyes fell on Shi Cianming's body, raised his hand to brush the broken hair in front of his forehead, and chuckled: "It's not the first time you've returned defeated, what's there to see, I'm just here to see the old man." ”

Bai Shanglu closed his eyes in pain, and took a closer look, as if there were some tears hanging in the corners of his eyes, he was seriously injured and lightly injured, and the defeat had damaged his reputation, and Yuzhu's cold words shattered his only remaining self-esteem, how could he not be in pain, so as soon as he entered the door, he fell into a coma, and only muttered something all night, and listened carefully, it was Yuzhu's name, Yuzhu who was guarding him was stunned, and said to Shi Cianming: "He can't die." ”

Shi Cianming was stunned and shook his head: "Do you know what injuries he suffered." ”

Yuzhu pursed the corners of his lips and smiled, like a spring flower blooming: "I know, with you and me, I can't hurt him with any injuries." ”

Shi Cianming's hand paused, the beads on his fingertips spread out, the night wind struck through the window lattice, and the fine powder fluttered one after another, like a light veil, enveloping his expression not so clearly, but his voice was very resolute: "His death is your relief, I can't ask for it, how can I help you." ”

Yuzhu looked at each other steadily, his sad eyes were as bright as the morning star, shining with a strange brilliance, and he was extraordinarily calm: "You will." ”

Shi Cianming grabbed her hand and shook his head again and again with grief: "I won't, Yuzhu, I tell you, I won't help you." ”

Yuzhu resolutely pulled out his hand, took out a dagger, shook it in front of his eyes, and muttered: "You will, you know, if he dies, I won't be able to live." ”

After that, she glanced at Shi Cassia Ming heavily, his eyes dimmed, he trembled and came over with a lamp, heated the dagger, and scratched the blood marks on Bai Shanglu's chest and Yuzhu's palm, Yuzhu smiled coldly, and raised his hand to press Bai Shanglu's wound.

I don't know how long it took, Yuzhu slowly withdrew his palm, his face was pale, like a slightly white sky, without a trace of blood, tossed all night, the sky revealed a glimmer of light, that is the vitality of the world, but also the vitality of Bai Shanglu.

Shi Cianming raised his hand to caress her face, but finally stopped at the side of her cheek, and after a long time, he sighed, stood under the window with his hand, and his eyes wandered away: "In the future, what are you going to do." The voice was faint and distant, just like the fragile situation of Yuzhu now.

"I don't have any plans, just one day at a time. Yuzhu sat on the edge of the bed, looking at Bai Shanglu without blinking for a moment, as if he would never see it again in the next moment, so he had to see all his life at this moment.

"You're not happy here, just come with me. Cassia finally mustered up his courage, walked up to her, and took her hand.

Yuzhu shook his head, quickly withdrew his hand, and chuckled: "I just ask you for one thing, don't tell him about it." ”

The morning light was like blood, leaning into the room, under the deep and shallow golden traces of the blue bricks, Bai Shanglu woke up slowly, his eyes were as indifferent as before, and even a little hateful, he grabbed Yuzhu's wrist and said coldly: "You hate me so much, you can't wait to kill me." ”

Yuzhu was stunned for a moment, stopped Shi Cianming, who wanted to explain, and still smiled lightly: "After staying for so many years, the effort has been wasted, and the blade has gone away, but I still haven't been able to kill you." ”

Before she finished speaking, she was pushed down by Bai Shanglu and fell heavily to the ground, and the light dust raised blindfolded her eyes and covered her lifeless face.

After that, it was Banfeng Lotus who served on the side until Bai Shang Lu recovered, and Yuzhu was a real lingering sickbed, and he couldn't afford to be sick. Bai Shanglu never asked about her illness, as if she had never fallen ill, or that she had never appeared.

On the contrary, it was Shi Cassia Ming, who sent people to send all kinds of medicinal materials and supplements every day, and came to see Yuzhu in person every once in a while, and did not shy away from Bai Shanglu's resentful and hateful gaze.

After dragging on like this for more than half a year, Yuzhu's body has improved, and she can barely get up and get out of bed, but she is a little haggard and weak compared to when her body was in its prime, she thought, maybe this is the meaning of returning to the light.

On this day, Bai Shanglu stopped Yuzhu, who was walking idly in the courtyard, and there was a chill between his eyebrows: "I will do a happy event in a few days." ”

"Happy events are joyful, but I'm afraid that your body won't survive the big day. Yuzhu raised his eyes, his indifferent words were like a white blade, he just wanted to take his life with one sword, and he didn't want him to live for a moment. She has such a ability, she can ride into the battlefield alone, and her kung fu is naturally not bad, but in the past, his life was saved by her, which was the past she didn't want to remember, and it was also the past when he gave up with a sword, or in other words, no matter how much she wanted him to die, she didn't want him to really die.

"I'm going to disappoint you, I've long been cured, and I'm going to take half of Fenghe as a concubine. ”

"She deserves it, too. There was a chuckle in the slanting sun, revealing a lot of loneliness, no matter how prosperous it was, the flowers were in full swing, and it was finally coming to an end.

"If she is unworthy, you are even less worthy ....."

"Why, you want to divorce me and marry her. Yuzhu raised his head, his eyes fell into the depths of the bamboo forest, and a lonely smile slowly appeared in the corners of his eyes.

"Then why not, she followed me like a jade, and it was a great grievance to be a concubine. ”

As soon as these words came out, what else Yuzhu didn't understand, what matters is not who he marries, not whether he can marry that person or not, what matters is Ruyu's body. It turned out that he didn't care about her past, but if he ate the mute of Coptis chinensis, he would have to hide his emotions very well.

Yuzhu's face turned from white to blue, and finally gray like a shadow in the slanting sun, without a trace of brilliance: "If she wants to enter the door, unless I die." ”

"Not necessarily. He took something out of his sleeve and threw it in front of her: "I have written a letter of resignation, you don't have to seek death, you can go down to the court and ask for it to fulfill me." ”

Yuzhu Tengteng took a few steps back, stared at the paper on the ground, squatted down, rubbed it in his palm very quickly, and the mist gathered in his eye sockets, but he forced it back before getting up, making it impossible to notice that she had been weak, and chuckled and dropped the cold two words: "Thank you." She finally waited for this day, pretending to be cold and useless on the surface, smiling to hide it, but in fact, her heart hurt more than anything else.

Bai Shanglu was stunned for a while, he understood that she was fighting indifference with indifference, her efforts in the past were all wrong in Bai Shanglu's eyes, everything she did was wrong, everything she said was wrong, a moment of flowers blooming, a glance of flowers falling, alienation and estrangement have been planted, taking root in the bottom of her heart.

She followed Shi Cassia Ming, this is the biggest failure in her life, she can't wash it and can't cut it off, it's just her fault after all, she and Bai Shanglu can only miss it, and the promises made have become blank. Maybe at the beginning, she was hanged by the neck when she was in Shifu, and it was better than being humiliated and living in desolation now, so that she could still have the reputation of a chaste martyr.

Bai Shanglu was the most unbearable in her heart, she originally thought that he was the same for her, but it wasn't until the moment he completely let go of her that she realized that what she had lost was not only the sincerity of the wrong payment, but also the moment the country broke, she should have martyred the blood-stained rivers and mountains, and she had survived to this day for him, but now the only reason to live has been lost, her eyes are eclipsed, gray and lifeless.

After that, she has nothing to do with Yuzhu, with the paper resignation letter, she is no longer Bai Shanglu's wife, she is just a princess of the dead country, Bai Shanglu can allow her to live in Baifu, and she is already thinking about the old feelings.

On the day when Bai Shanglu married Ban Fenghe, the front hall was lively and noisy, and Bai Shanglu was wearing a big red auspicious suit, and the corners of his eyes and eyebrows were difficult to hide his joy, he had never had such joy when he married Yuzhu, in fact, it was clear when he thought about it, at that time he only had a sense of shame that could not be minded, how could he be overflowing with joy.

In the remote room where no one had been seen for several years, Yuzhu wore a red dress, painted exquisite makeup, covered her gray face, and lay calmly on the couch, the dagger at the mouth of her heart flashed with dazzling golden light, and the bright red blood stains overflowed, as if the bone red and water plums that bloomed that year.

A waterfall of green silk scattered to her ankles, the night wind blew through the white clothes and black hair, like her bleak ending, she finally died, died in this cool rainy autumn night, this is the ending she expected, it is the end that has been doomed since the day she followed Shi Cassia Ming.

Yuzhu's death alarmed Shi Cassia Ming, he rushed desperately, threw himself on Yuzhu's coffin and cried bitterly: "Yuzhu, Yuzhu, this is the person you have to wait for, this is the person you said is worth waiting for, is he worth it, Yuzhu, why are you so stupid." ”

He turned around and grabbed Bai Shanglu by the collar, and forced him into a corner step by step: "I handed her over to you completely, why did you destroy her, why did you abandon her, why did you force her to death." ”

"Completely, you, the initiator, are not qualified to reprimand me at all. Bai Shanglu looked at the red face from a distance, and his face was indifferent to the expression he had when he looked at Yuzhu in the past, and he did not make any waves because of her death.

Between her and him, the depth of love is unfathomable, it is not equal, her love is as deep as a glance for ten thousand years, and his love is as shallow as a glimpse, there is no affection, how can it be sad and difficult to hide.

Shi Cianming raised Yuzhu's pale wrist, and there was a blood-red dot on the inside of the crook of her arm, which was a clear proof of her innocence: "She is just my nominal concubine, I have never touched her, on the wedding night she told me that she is the only one in her heart, if you want to force her to obey me, she can only die, I respect her and love her, I don't want to persecute her, and those rumors are just my intention to release it to test you, to see if you are sincere to her, ridiculous, ridiculous, those rumors, have become an excuse for you to force her to death." ”

"No, you're lying to me, you're lying to me with her. Bai Shanglu's face turned pale, Shi Cianming stared at him, opened Bai Shanglu's collar, revealing a scar on his chest, and then turned over Yuzhu's hand: "Look at it, take a good look, who else in this world will love you with their lives, love you without distractions like her, if she hadn't exchanged blood for blood for you, you thought you could survive the Gu poison, and you would have the life to marry some newcomer, Yuzhu She will die sooner or later, you are so impatient, you can't wait for a moment, you want to force her to death early." ”

Shi Cianming retreated a few times, holding Yuzhu's two long swords, and stabbed them with hatred, not giving Bai Shanglu any room to dodge at all, leaving a deep blood mark on his neck: "This sword is to repay her affection for saving you for the first time." ”

The sword body was withdrawn, and the speckled blood beads were sprinkled on the white wall, and it stabbed fiercely to the other side: "This sword is to repay her affection for saving you for the second time." ”

These two swords stabbed just right, even if they did not cause him to lose too much blood and kill him on the spot, but they also left hideous traces that he would carry for a lifetime, which was particularly dazzling.

With Yuzhu's death, the matter is really over, all the entanglements are mixed with blood, and all the love and hate have erected a high wall of life and death, from then on, she and him, nothing to love, no hate, Shi Cianming didn't want to look at him again, turned around and said: "So far, your grievances and grievances are clear, and there is no more to do." He leaned over and picked up Yuzhu, that gentle look, as if she was still alive, could hear everything that saw him, he said softly: "Let's go." ”

It wasn't until this moment that Bai Shanglu came back to his senses and understood that death was the most complete loss, and no one in the world would treat him like her, and would love her with his life, he grabbed Yuzhu's skirt, his nails were white, and he was as pale as his words: "No, you can't take her, she is my wife." ”

"Your madam, hmph, I would like to thank you for your letter of resignation, which has fulfilled us. Shi Cassia shook the thin paper, the light ink color separated half a lifetime of love, he waved his hand, and rushed over dozens of accompanying guards, pulling Bai Shanglu away with all hands and feet, Shi Cassia turned his back to him, and said coldly: "You have to live well, you must always remember that what you have in your body is the blood of Yuzhu." ”

Bai Shanglu sat down on the ground dejectedly, his eyes were dim, and his gray face was like the twilight after the sun fell, lifeless. Looking sideways, a green bamboo is placed in the coffin, like the delicate years of the jade bamboo, the thousands of years of time behind her are like water, and there is only a complete scene left in the legend.

The time of thousands of years ago was annihilated with the death of Yuzhu, and in just an instant, everyone returned to the courtyard in Qingzhou.

Qu Lian's soul has returned to its place, waking up from the old things of a thousand years ago, raising her eyes to look at Luo Kui's trembling appearance, she couldn't help laughing, laughing so happily and comfortably:" I didn't expect that I inadvertently dripped into the blood of the Luodian Mirror, which actually helped me solve the big trouble in my heart, Luokui, I really expected it well, turned out this old incident thousands of years ago, you will be in pain, in this way, Jingmo will be completely dead to you, I don't have to worry about you every day will break the thread, so that it is not in vain that I use my life to sacrifice the Luodian Mirror for seven days, Luokui, thousands of years ago, you harmed my flesh and bones, thousands of years later, you killed my father's life, now looking at you in pain, my heart is really happy. ”

Luo Kui curled up in Su Zi's arms, like a frightened little beast, trembling all over, her face was pale without a trace of emotion, and there was not a trace of tears, as if the tears had finished with the old things of a thousand years ago, her eyes had dried up, her eyes were blank, and her throat had fallen: "You are the original half-maple lotus." ”

Jingmo slowly moved to her, raised his hand to caress her face, but was heavily opened by Su Zi, who had always been calm, and he opened his mouth, but finally failed to say a word.

Luo Kui looked at him coldly, his eyes reflected his own appearance, just like the lifeless pale back then, all this was her own willingness, but also their own self-inflicted, she hated them, and would not forgive them, she raised her eyes to look at Jingmo, and then looked at Qu Lian, and said coldly: "In this life, in this life, forever, I will never see you in death and life." ”

Su Zi helped Luo Kui to lie down, sneered and approached Qu Lian step by step, raised his hand and pinched her weak wrist, as if smiling: "Qu Lian, your cultivation has risen greatly, it is really impressive for three days." As he spoke, he squeezed his wrist tighter and tighter.

Qu Lian was startled, and struggled again and again with shame and anger, but she couldn't struggle, she only looked at the blue and purple finger marks printed on her wrist in a daze, and then the blood surged, winding along the arm, churning in the wrist, as if there were countless insects hidden in the depths of the blood, constantly trying to break through the skin and break out of the confinement.

Luo Kui has been groggy and asleep and awake, when sleeping, it is an endless nightmare, startled out of a body of cold sweat soaked through the clothes; when she wakes up, she is unconsciously swallowing everything that is sent to her lips, no smile, no tears and no words, whoever calls her, is only slightly moving her eyelids, and then there is no movement next to her, people lose weight and go down to the void, you can still lean on the porch and stand for a while, watch the fallen leaves fly, the clouds are rolling, and then you can only sit on the couch for a while, watch the sunrise and sunset, time flies, and then you can only lie on the bed, watch the red candle tears, light yarn swaying。 The imperial doctor came again and again, all shaking their heads and sighing, mourning is greater than the death of the heart, and the doctor is sick, but he can't cure the heart.
