Chapter VII: Suicide Notes
The mountain wind is gusting, the forest leaves are swaying, and the sword forest is cold and gloomy.
Yu Qiong's face was indifferent, he sat silently on the edge of the cliff, and his deep eyes quietly stared at Yancheng under him who was shrouded in a layer of mist, looking looming.
Behind him stood a man dressed in black, the man in black stood with his hands in his hands, and also looked down at the rich and vast Yancheng under the cliff, the breeze sometimes swept the black veil hanging from his hat, I don't know what the expression was, and only after a while did he say leisurely: "Although I hate you, I also envy you." When Mo Rao was alive, he just wanted me to be like you now, putting the people in peace, but I never got my wish......" The man in black seemed to be unsatisfied, but he didn't say any more.
Yu Qiong turned his back to him and said lightly, "Have you ever done what she said?"
The man in black sighed slightly, and said, "How can I turn a deaf ear to her words?" It's just that there are too many people in the world who are suffering, and which side doesn't need to eliminate disasters and solve problems? I have walked the rivers and lakes for several years, but I always feel that I have no skills, in those years, I helped the poor and asked about the news of my master Mo'er, who knew that after less than three years, it was rumored that she had left unexpectedly......" The man in black said that his voice became choked and turned his head.
Yu Qiong's body trembled faintly, slowly retracted his gaze, and said faintly: "Do you know why I want to kill her?"
The man in black calmed down after a while, and said lightly: "Everyone in the world says that you are jealous of your talents, and I am afraid that Mo'er will one day surpass you in merit and prestige." But I don't agree, I think you will have something unspeakable, just treat me silently, no matter what reason you have, I will not ignore it. ”
Yu Qiong turned his head to look at him, his black veil covered his face, Yu Qiong couldn't see his appearance, and then withdrew his gaze, and looked at Yancheng below him silently. The man in black didn't speak, and the air gradually became silent.
"Wow-wow-"
A crow's cry broke the silence between the two. The man in black looked up at the crows passing by in the sky and sighed, "Bad omen......"
Yu Qiong seemed to be awakened by his words, slowly stood up, and turned his back to the black-clothed man: "You have asked me eight times before and after, and I will tell you today! Go to Beishan Wolong Pond in the evening, and you will understand everything by then." After Yu Qiong said this, he jumped off the cliff, and his figure floated towards Yancheng like the wind.
The man in black stared at Yu Qiong's back and did not withdraw his gaze until he disappeared into the morning mist. He stood in place for a long time, slowly raised his head, and said faintly: "This is all providence." At last, he got up and got on his horse and walked slowly down the mountain.
Yancheng is still a prosperous and lively scene, and Yu Qiongfei fell down at the city gate, changing the chivalrous style of being a suitable person, and becoming the low-key and kind Yu Jianghe in the eyes of the people. He glanced at the name of Yancheng above the city gate, showed a slight smile, lowered his head, and walked towards the city, the people of the city were very appreciative of the character of the river, if it were not for him, they would be very difficult to live such a comfortable life now.
There were not as many people on the street as there were when Yu Shuang and the two of them went out, but there were still many more than before. Yu Qiong knew what day it was, but he didn't walk in the air, so he slowly walked towards Yu Mansion in the crowd. From time to time, uncles and aunts who sell vegetables, or people who come and go in a hurry greet him with a smile, he has smiled in return, but he doesn't say much, the people of Yancheng have long known Yu Jianghe's temperament, that is, he is silent, but his behavior is worthy of everyone's affirmation.
After half an hour, he finally returned to the mansion.
He saw a figure sitting on the threshold of the mansion gate from a distance, and he recognized it at a glance as his second son, Yu Shuang. Facing his gaze, Yu Shuang also saw him, smiled instantly, and hurriedly ran towards him. He gasped a few times, looked at him carefully, and said with great joy: "Great! Dad, you're okay!"
Yu Jianghe patted Yu Shuang's head and said with a smile: "What's so urgent?
Yu Shuang smiled and said, "It's okay! My mother is waiting for my father here, saying that you will go to the study after you come back, and you will tell you in an emergency! I also have something urgent to tell my father." ”
Yu Jianghe took Yu Shuang's hand and walked into the mansion, and on the way to the study, Yu Shuang told Yu Jianghe what happened to him and Ouyang Ziyi in the morning, from the two of them going out in the morning, to meeting the man in black in the temple, and then to the two of them being rescued by the city......
Yu Jianghe's face was solemn, and he didn't speak along the way. It wasn't until he got to the door of the study that he said to Shuang: "Your father already knows about it, and it won't happen again in the future." Now that my father and mother have something to talk about, you can go to the back garden to find Ying'er. ”
Yu Shuang answered and walked to the back garden.
The door of the study was closed, "squeak-" There was a soft sound, Yu Jianghe pushed the door open, he looked up, hundreds of books were neatly arranged on the shelves, there was no one on the bed on the left, he looked to the right, and saw his wife Liu Mo lying in front of the table, holding a brush, as if repairing a book.
The warm sunlight from the window adds warmth to the room. His wife Liu Mo's face was slightly pale, and when she heard this, she raised her head, put down the brush in her hand, stood up and smiled, "You're back." ”
Yu Jianghe smiled and nodded, walked over to her, and said, "I haven't seen you writing for a long time, but it's ...... to pick up a pen today."
Yu Jianghe's originally smiling face sank, and he saw these two eye-catching big characters listed on the page on the desk - suicide note.
"Why is this?" Yu Jianghe said with suspicion on his face.
Liu Mo's face remained unchanged, still with a hint of a smile, looked at him, and said quietly: "You asked Feng'er to go to Wolong Pond to set up the 'Divine Dragon Array' today?"
Yu Jianghe's face returned to normal when he heard this, looked at Liu Mo's smiling face for a long time, and said lightly: "I didn't expect that I still can't hide it from you!"
The smile on Liu Mo's face flashed away, and he said coldly: "Today is the night of the full moon, do you want to fight to the death with the four great demonic beasts?"
Yu Jianghe showed a trace of unbearability on his face, hugged Liu Mo in his arms, and said softly: "Now that you and I have been out of shadow for fifty years, this peaceful birthday can be regarded as enjoyable, do you know that the people in the world are still in dire straits, do you know what the situation is outside Yancheng? Now my strength has been roughly recovered." It's time to stand up and make a decision, whether it's life or death...... Leave it to fate!"
Liu Mo wanted to persuade when he heard this, but he knew his husband's temperament, persuasion was useless, and he didn't know what to say for a while, Yu Jianghe's hand caressed his wife's back, he believed that his wife would understand him, because if it was fifty years ago, his wife would be the same.
Although he felt his wife's tears drenching his shoulders, he understood that she was only saddened by the end of the life he had dreamed about fifty years ago. Both of them knew in their hearts that they were not born to survive for themselves. For many years, we have understood each other, perceived each other, and then developed into each other. Although I yearn for an ordinary life, it is impossible after all.
Yu Jianghe gently pushed Liu Mo away, looked at the tears rippling in her eyes, felt a pain in her heart, turned her head and said softly: "He...... Came to me again today for revenge, I ...... and spared him. ”
Liu Mo's expression changed when she heard this, as if she knew who "he" her husband was, and asked, "What?"
Yu Jianghe sighed, closed his eyes slightly, and paused: "Demon cultivation has reached the 'Nine Realms'"
"Huh?" Liu Mo exclaimed, and said hurriedly: "Then why don't you kill him?"
Yu Jianghe's face flashed with a trace of bitterness, looked at Liu Mo, and said, "He is still here for you, how can I ?......do it?"
It turned out that the original Dao Immortal Mo Rao was the current Liu Mo. Everyone knows that Mo Rao died at the hands of Yu Qiong fifty years ago, but this is not the case, in that decisive battle, Yu Qiong relied on his own strength to defeat the Dao Immortal Mo Rao, who "went mad into the devil", and did not take his life, but used the forbidden technique developed by himself - Sealing Demon Seal.
If you want to perform this method, you must burn your own yang life, and abolish your own foundation for fifty years, summon and seal the divine dragon, and beat the divine dragon into the body of the person being cast, and the divine dragon will completely absorb all the true elements in his body, so as to become a mortal. But it makes sense that this method was banned by the developer Yu Qiong.
The "Demon Seal" was developed by Yu Qiong since Mo Rao's demon cultivation. Since it is a forbidden technique, it will do more harm than good, and his great thing is that no matter how high your Dao method is, if the spell caster puts the "Demon Seal" Divine Dragon into the body of the person being spelled, he will be no different from ordinary people in a short period of time.
However, why do you say "in a short period of time"? This is where this technique comes in, if the caster does not want to be sealed, it can be lifted by itself, as long as the true element is forced, the "Sealing Demon Seal" dragon will dissipate by itself, and merge into the body of the caster, and the caster will go further.
However, the caster found nothing, not to mention the loss of Yangshou, and had to abandon the Tao for many years.
In that battle, Mo Rao performed his cultivation through the heavens, summoning the spirit pets "Fire God" and "Divine Bird", the fire god is the spirit pet that Mo Rao condenses the aura of heaven and earth with the primordial god, and then refines it with his own cultivation, which can burn all living beings and all living things by touching, and it is rumored that even mountains and air can ignite.
And the divine bird is even more terrifying, the divine bird is wrapped in ice crystals, the world's coldest divine beast, its magic power can condense the sea into ice, and what is more terrifying is that it itself is a kind of sealing beast, which can seal everything in the world, even the martial arts of the year in the sky, the Furious Dragon Sword, was also sealed in the body of the divine bird.
It is rumored that 800 years ago, the Divine Bird was a cultivator and a cultivator, the divine beast spirit pet of the Northern "Dao God" Daoqing.
In that battle, Yu Qiong summoned his own spirit pet, Mo Yun. When Mo Yun created the "Yilong Dao Method" by Yu Qiong, he refined it with the combination of Yuan Shen and cultivation, and it is rumored that it can be compared with the "Wu" of the sword.
That battle is destined to be recorded in history, Feng Xiang Longzhuo, Mo Rao stood at the tip of the divine bird, under his body has been burned into a sea of fire by the god of fire, the two of them are inseparable from the direct battle, Mo Rao has the upper hand in the first battle, Yu Qiong's body is also slightly injured, Yu Qiong was forced to sacrifice the ancient divine soldier that needs to lose a huge amount of true yuan to be able to urge - "Fury Yi Dragon Sword" After a few fights, Mo Rao finally showed a decline, but she used all her strength to seal the divine soldier "Fury Yilong Sword" in the firmament, in that blink of an eye, if Yu Qiong did not retreat but advanced, deceitful and upward, although he was inevitably hit hard, but he was very sure to take Mo Rao's life, but he hesitated after all, but chose to seal her demonic power.
After Mo Rao was hit, she raised her head to the sky and roared, as if she was struck by lightning, green smoke rose from her body, black liquid flowed out of her seven holes, and her hair stood up straight like a needle. The divine bird suddenly roared proudly, and the fire god on the ground also let out a heart-rending roar, and for a time the mountains shook and shook, like the mighty power of the ancient gods, wanting to destroy everything in the world......
Not long after, Yu Qiong fell from the sky, fell heavily to the ground, blood had already spurted out of his mouth, sword wounds, burns, internal injuries, and the erosion he received when casting the "Demon Seal", he couldn't stand up at this moment, who would have thought that the man who was called "God" by the world back then would be so depressed at this moment.
After Mo Rao woke up, she found that there was still a comatose man beside her, and his injuries were much more serious than hers. Mo Rao was surprised to find that although he was seriously injured, his mind was already sober, not like when he first practiced magic spells, he couldn't control himself, but became a slave of the "inner demon".
She didn't know what she had done when she woke up, and she didn't know, and she never believed that the man she wanted would hurt so badly. Fang today, who has such a way can hit the two of them together. She thought so, but she didn't have time to think about it, she just wanted to wake up the man next to her quickly. She got up and looked around, which was already in a state of ruins burned by fire.
After taking a sip of water, Yu Qiong slowly opened his eyes and found himself lying in the woman's arms, he smiled slightly, he knew that he had succeeded......
After that, Yu Qiong and Mo Rao lived in seclusion in Yancheng together, and the two of them who had cultivated the truth and enlightenment all their lives longed to live the life of ordinary people, and now their dreams have finally come true. The two got married, raised three children, and as the years passed, Yu Qiong's cultivation gradually recovered. He laid out a "Yilong Enchantment" outside Yancheng, and anyone who went out from it could see it and come and go freely. If not, it would be like an illusion, or mountains, lakes, or swamps and deep forests, except for the "masters" who have achieved cultivation, such as the man in black.
A breeze blew in from the window, Yu Qiong silently bowed his head, Liu Mo, that is, the "Dao Immortal" Mo Rao, she wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, and said softly: "You are good at everything, but your heart is too soft, if that person does not repent, but slaughters the righteous path, won't you become a sinner?"
Yu Qiong suddenly raised his head, looked at her jade face that could be broken, suddenly smiled, and said, "Isn't he also infatuated with you? There is such a person in the world who loves him, he is a demon cultivator, and I don't believe that he will do anything that hurts heaven and reason." ”
Liu Mo also looked at her husband and smiled slightly when she heard this, but her eyebrows quickly wrinkled, and said, "He actually did it to the two children today, can you be sure that he has not been corrupted by demonic nature?"
Yu Qiong said: "He just wanted to force out my whereabouts, and he didn't hurt the innocent." I asked him to go to Wolong Pond tonight, and when the time comes, let's act at the opportunity. ”
When Liu Mo heard "Wolong Pond", Liu Mei frowned even tighter, hesitated for a moment, but still said: "Do you want to think about it? Why can't we both be here for fifty years?"
Yu Qiong's face turned cold when he heard this, his back turned to Liu Mo, and he said solemnly: "Mo said that fifty years have passed, that is, five hundred years have passed, and I will not forget the original intention of cultivating the Tao in my life." The people of the world are in dire straits, the devil's path is rampant, and the demon beasts are rampant, if we and other cultivators don't come forward, let me ask, what is the use of practicing the path of enlightenment hard?"
Liu Mo knew that Yu Qiong would definitely react in this way. She didn't get angry, hugged him from behind, smiled on her face, closed her eyes, and said, "What you said is that I am used to living this kind of peaceful and comfortable life, isn't this also the original thing I said to you when I first entered the 'light'? I will lift the seal tonight, let me go with you......"
Yu Qiong's body was shocked, he turned around violently, and said hurriedly: "No! It's too dangerous, you will take the children to Yulin City today, find my apprentice Pan Xincheng, and take the dagger I gave you some time ago." If he sees a dagger, he will recognize you. You don't have to worry about tonight's battle, I'll succeed!"
Liu Mo knew what he meant by "will succeed". But he didn't say much, looked at him and smiled slightly, caressing her husband's calm but confident face.
