In the quiet and beautiful garden of Xuehuatang, Sima Xue, dressed in blue clothes on a white background, sat alone by the lake, looking at the waning moon in the lake, and even the people behind him did not notice it.

Sima Shenyi stood behind Sima Xue, looked at her back, and suddenly remembered that when everyone was still a teenager, it was also such a beautiful day.

"Snow Girl. ”

Sima Shenyi's call made Sima Xue look back at him, Sima Xue's expression was a little indifferent, and he asked: "Tomorrow is the decisive battle with Sima Lie, the sect master is not good at recuperating his energy, what is the important matter of coming to the Snow Hall late at night?"

"It's not a big deal, just one thing I've always wanted to ask you. ”

"Sect Master, excuse me. ”

"Back then, my wife had a difficult birth, and she was in danger of losing two lives, and a fortune teller passed by and kindly gave me a piece of motherwort, so that I was able to save the lives of my wife and children. ”

"It's true, I've heard about it, but fortunately, the sect master's wife was blessed by heaven and gave birth to Xu'er smoothly, and the mother and son were safe. ”

"What I want to ask is, where did you go when you didn't hear from my wife in the two months when she gave birth?"

"It's just a tour of the mountains and rivers, is this what the sect master wants to ask?"

"Sightseeing?"

Sima Shenyi sat down next to Sima Xue, took off the cloak on his body and put it on Sima Xue: "The mother grass is extremely precious, it has always been priceless and marketable, even the Shenzhou Celestial Empire may not be able to have it, how could my wife have a difficult birth, so someone happened to send this priceless mother grass?"

Sima Xue wrapped her cloak and didn't speak.

"The mother grass only grows in the outer periphery of the spiritual void, although it is the periphery, but it is also a place where strange beasts haunt, which is very dangerous, and this is why the mother grass is so cherished..."

Sima Shenyi looked at Sima Xue, and there were some indescribable feelings in his eyes: "Although you tried your best to cover it up when you came back from playing in the mountains and rivers, your internal strength was almost sloppy, and you even walked a little vainly, obviously recovering from a serious injury." After half a year, you claimed to stay in the snow hall and did not come out, do you really think I would believe that the grass was given by an old fortune teller who I didn't know?"

"Does it matter how the grass came about, the important thing is that the mother and son of the sect master's wife were safe back then. ”

"Chenfang left early, she went when Xu'er was eight years old, and then you helped teach Xu'er, and Xu'er also likes you very much, obviously you are a cousin, but you have to call you aunt..."

"What does the Sect Master mean by mentioning these pasts?"

Sima Shenyi grabbed Sima Xue's hand, a little embarrassed: "I also know that you and I are hundreds of years old, although the appearance is not very old, but now it is still a bit disrespectful to say this, but I hope to make up for you a little, are you willing... Be Xu'er's stepmother. ”

Sima Xueleng was able to laugh for a moment, and laughed a little sarcastically: "The sect master is very confident in tomorrow's battle, is he underestimating Sima Lie too much?"

Pulling his hand out of Sima Shenyi's hand with a smile, Sima Xue asked Sima Shenyi rhetorically: "If you lose tomorrow's battle, what you said today is all empty talk, if you win, how can I marry someone who killed my eldest brother with his own hands?"

"You don't have to worry about this, Sima Lie... It's dead. ”

"Dead?"

When she heard the news of Sima Lie's death, Sima Xue was very surprised, tomorrow is the day of the decisive battle, how could Sima Lie die? With Sima Lie's character, even if he was defeated by Sima Shenyi, he would not sit still and wait for death, let alone commit suicide in fear of sin.

"Could it be you, Sect Master..."

Sima Xue looked at Sima Shenyi, although it was unlikely, but at the moment, if it was said that Sima Lie was assassinated, only Sima Shenyi, as the sect master, had this ability and motive.

"You're mistaken, it's not me. ”

Sima Shenyi shook his head and said: "Today, the people from the Agni Fire Hall came to report that Sima Lie died in the main hall of the Agni Hall yesterday, I went to check the body, and the fatal wound was stabbed into the heart from the back, this is the murder weapon." ”

"This is..."

Sima Xue looked at the dagger in Sima Shenyi's hand, the shape was gorgeous, and at first glance it was a valuable thing, and this thing was the coming-of-age gift she gave to Sima Ye back then.

Sima Xue looked at Sima Shenyi, saw Sima Shenyi nodded, and thought that his guess should be correct: "He actually killed his father with his own hands?"

Sima Shenyi sighed and said: "You and I are well aware of the matter of Liu Ruyan and their father and son, and after I learned about it, I searched the Agni Hall, but only Sima Ye and Liu Ruyan did not know where to go, and they had already absconded in fear of crime." ”

Sima Xue was silent for a while, and said, "It can be regarded as deserved." ”

Although when Sima Lie married Liu Ruyan, Liu Ruyan claimed that she was voluntary, but as a woman, who would want to marry an old man?

"I have sent Sima Yang to arrest Sima Ye and Liu Ruyan. ”

"Why bother?"

Sima Xue, who has never liked willows like smoke, rarely interceded for Sima Ye and the others: "If it weren't for Sima Lie's love in front of him, how could there be the fruit of Sima Ye's killing of his father, if both of them are sincere, why not let them live?"

Sima Shenyi nodded, in fact, he was quite sympathetic to Sima Ye's nephew, although Sima Ye's murder of his father was a heinous crime, but Sima Ye's temperament, how could Sima Shenyi not know?

can let Sima Ye, who has always been calm, commit such an evil act as killing his father, how Sima Lie treats him on weekdays, can be imagined.

After a short silence, Sima Shenyi spoke again: "Now that the big thing is decided, can you give me an answer to my question just now?"

Sima Xue looked at the waning moon in the lake for a long time, and Sima Shenyi saw that Sima Xue didn't say anything, so he asked a little suspiciously: "Could it be you..." Actually, you've always had a crush on someone?"

Sima Shenyi's words surprised Sima Xue, she didn't expect Sima Shenyi to think so, although so many years have passed, but Sima Xue only has Sima Shenyi in his heart, this Sima Xue thinks Sima Shenyi should be clear, but why does he think so?

If the sunset is like glass, the old man goes with the wind...

The poem that the fortune teller old man Mr. Mi read before leaving suddenly appeared in Sima Xue's mind, Sima Xue's face immediately changed slightly, and he read in his mouth: "The world has fallen into the dust, and the life is floating... A play..."

It turns out that this is what it is...

A line of clear water flowed out of Sima Xue's eyes, Sima Shenyi was very surprised, and said with concern: "What's wrong?"

"It's nothing, it's just a feeling. ”

Wiping away the tears on her face, Sima Xue finally shook her head and rejected Sima Shenyi: "Time has passed, things are people, even if the love is still there, people are different." You are no longer the cousin of Shenyi in the past, and I am no longer the crazy Sima Xue I used to be. ”

Sima Xue stood up and returned the cloak to Sima Shenyi: "It's late at night, the sect master should rest early, Xuehuatang is a female disciple, and it is inconvenient, so I won't leave the sect master." ”

Sima Shenyi looked at the cold figure in the distance, and the guilt and feelings in his heart finally turned into a regretful sigh.

Some people and some things, if they miss it, they can never be chased back, even if they are close at hand, they will always be as far away as the end of the world.

After Sima Shenyi left, two figures appeared in mid-air, one in white and silver, and the other in white hair and black.

Heng Cangyu looked at Sima Yunfeng's look of watching the play with relish, and said suspiciously: "You arrested me in the middle of the night, just to peek at your descendants?"

"Yes, the old man thinks that this play should be watched by you. ”

Contrary to the indifferent attitude of the past few days, Sima Yunfeng's old face was full of triumph: "I can't imagine that my niece used to be very childlike, and she died and lived for some children's private feelings, but now she is the one who sees the love between men and women most thoroughly, not bad." ”

"Old fox, say whatever you want!"

"The old man has nothing to say. ”

Pretending to hammer his shoulder, Sima Yunfeng yawned: "I'm tired from running out to watch the play in the middle of the night, so I went back to sleep." ”

...... You old and disrespectful old fox, what the hell are you singing?

After Sima Yunfeng left, Heng Cangyu looked through the window at Sima Xue, who locked himself in the room and cried silently.

I obviously can't let go, so why do you force yourself to let go like this?
