Ying Tianchang walked alone in the boundary of Lingzhou, and the Mozhou Demon King Xiao Lei Gong Light Lei Zi, who had a mountain, was not on his side.

They didn't part ways, they just made an appointment. Three days later, Qing Leizi came to Yue Fengshan again, collected the body for him Ying Tianchang, or continued to walk this trip I don't know what to see to the northwest road,

Ying Tianchang still doesn't know what he can see in the northwest, he can see the yellow sand, the west wind, and the occasional red between heaven and earth. But what else could he see, the suffering of the Northwest people, the misfortune of the monsters, or the will to resist? Ying Tian didn't know clearly, and what he saw was really only a blank. And in this west wind and yellow sand, Ying Tianchang can't see anything else.

I can't even say anything like pretty or magnificent.

The bun lay on top of his head, roaring at the west wind.

Ying Tianchang looked at Yue Fengshan who was getting closer and closer in front of him, and there was some hesitation in his heart. Even he didn't know why he didn't want to go with Qingleizi after asking for the way, he just wanted to come here alone to face the culprit of the fire in Huangyun City.

He didn't even know if he would fight the culprit.

He wished it was the girl he saw in the jade pot, nor did he want it to be her.

The distance that seemed to be far away had passed in the blink of an eye, and Ying Tianchang stopped at the foot of Yue Feng Mountain for a while, and then went up the mountain.

Although he didn't know where to go, he knew that the other party must know that he was coming. Huang Yuncheng did not hide his whereabouts after the fire, and even appeared directly in Yue Fengshan in Lingzhou, where Qin Guan was located, which was telling Ying Tianchang and forcing Ying Tianchang to come here to find him.

Looking up at the untimely green leaves, Ying Tianchang shook the nearest tree, and not a single leaf fell. Ying Tianchang stepped on the breeze to pluck a leaf, and the moment the leaf left the branch, it turned from green to yellow, and then turned into fly ash and disappeared with the wind.

Ying Tianchang rubbed his fingers, returned to the ground, and stepped forward.

Ying Tianchang had forgotten how long he had been in the northwest after leaving the academy, and in short, the weather was getting colder and colder. He clenched the cuffs of his robe on his chest, but Ying Tianchang didn't feel cold. Now that he knew the secret of the cheongsam, he wouldn't feel any cold even in the snowfields of the Northland with just a few pieces of clothing.

He was just wondering when it would snow back in the northwest.

It should be soon.

He wanted to see the wind and snow in the northwest, and he didn't want to see it. It's the same mood as now.

Ying Tianchang walked as he pleased, instead of following the mountain road that was stepped out by someone at some point, but went into the jungle, headless flies like a flying around.

Eventually, he came to a lake.

He didn't know why there was always a lake in the mountains and forests, and it was the same last time he left Chang'an with Chen Lin'an.

There are familiar lakes and acquaintances I met at the beginning.

The girl and the white cat lay on their sides by the lake, breathing slowly and quietly.

Ying Tianchang sighed, sure enough, it was her. But he felt a sense of relief.

Looking at the girl's delicate face from afar, Ying Tianchang wanted to sit beside her and wait for her to wake up with the best patience in the world. Even if it takes a few lifetimes, the teenager is willing.

Come to think of it, Ying Tianchang didn't do that after all. He just came to the lake, did something at the girl's distance, and poured water in both hands on his face.

As he leaned over, he saw the sun reflected on the surface of the lake, and the golden sunlight dappled on the water.

Ying Tianchang has fantasized about seeing her countless times, and he has also imagined his indifference and anger in front of her, or as plain as a nodding friend. This kind of fantasy was most frequent, especially after the Black King Qin Guan learned that the culprit of the fire in Huangyun City was one of the four murderers. But what he didn't expect was that he who really saw her at this moment had no anger or doubt, and his mood was as calm as this lake, without a trace of ripples.

As pure as a crystal.

The crystal glows with a beautiful color.

Such a peaceful feeling has never been felt by Ying Tianchang.

Ying Tianchang exhaled, but he didn't dare to make a sound, so as not to wake up the girl in the distance. But I was amused by this thought.

It was still quiet, no sound.

Baozi began to pull the corners of Ying Tianchang's clothes with his mouth, and Ying Tianchang reached out and wrapped it in his arms.

Ying Tianchang knew what the bun meant, shook his head at the bun first, and then stretched out a finger to his mouth, signaling it not to make a sound.

The bun showed an expression of hatred for iron and steel, which has two meanings. But the little black dog was also really cooperative, and Ying Tianchang didn't make any sound.

Ying Tianchang turned around, and the girl and the white cat, who was originally poor, were still asleep. But Ying Tianchang quickly turned around, not daring to linger too much on her face.

He felt that there was something funny about his actions, and he felt that he was a waste.

They are enemies, and they should be enemies.

But he was by her side, but there was no resentment and anger in his heart.

Ying Tianchang wiped the water droplets on her face with her sleeve, let go of all the worries in her heart, and waited for everything that might happen in the future with a peace of mind that she had never had, waiting for her to wake up.

His gaze remained on the golden sunlight of the lake, watching the wisps of golden light move slowly little by little.

Now he is very much like Chen Lin'an in the small courtyard of Chang'an Zuiyunfang.

I don't know how long it took, as long as Ying Tianchang waited for snow, Ying Tianchang heard a word.

"I knew it when you first arrived. ”

"I know. Ying Tianchang said.

He changed his sitting position and faced the girl. The girl woke up from her sleep, and her face was still sleepy and lazy that had not yet dissipated.

Inexplicably, Ying Tianchang felt that he actually had nothing to say between himself and the girl.

But it seemed like a good thing to be able to look at her like that.

Ying Tianchang said: "You didn't tell me your name the last time we met. ”

"My name is Shumei. The girl lifted her chin and shook her head, letting her long hair stretch. She took the sleeping white cat into her arms and said, "You know, it's Qiqi." ”

The two sat facing each other, separated by the sun and air, one holding a black dog in his arms and the other caressing a white cat.

"Good name. Ying Tianchang said meaningless words. He knows, but he can't stop himself.

"That's not what it means. The girl said, but she didn't continue.

Ying Tianchang remembered what was written in a poem.

In the early morning, the curtain rolls up with light cream, and you can try plum makeup. All have their own hatred, so the painting is far away. Think about the past, cherish the flow. Prone to injury. The mimetic song is the first to converge, and the desire to laugh is the most heartbreaking.

Imitation of singing first, wanting to laugh and repay, the most heartbreaking people? Is she unwilling to break people's intestines?

Is that what it means? Ying Tianchang guessed in his heart, but he didn't say it. If you say it, you will look like a fool. Although Ying Tianchang felt like a fool in front of her.

What Ying Tianchang probably didn't know was that in these few words on both sides, in the long flow and unconsciously, Shumei's frown, smile, joy and anger could already affect his every move.

"Did you come to Yue Fengshan just to ask my name?" Shu Mei asked.

Ying Tianchang smiled lightly, the purest smile without any other emotions. He didn't speak.

Shu Mei looked at the sky and said, "While I am sleeping, I am also thinking about when and how you will wake me up." ”

As if she hadn't asked that question just now.

Ying Tianchang also said as if he only heard this sentence: "I didn't plan to wake you up, I'll just wait on the side." You shouldn't sleep all the time for three days and three nights. ”

"I'm sure you know I'm going to do it. Ying Tianchang added.

Shu Mei nodded slightly.

He's a little cautious about even speaking now. Ying Tianchang felt that this should not be a big problem.

"The culprits who instigated the demon rebellion in the Red Valley Country and the demon rebellion in the northwest of the Tang Dynasty are our people. "But it has nothing to do with me, I shouldn't have been here, but when you come, I'm here to wait for you." ”

Ying Tianchang didn't want to ask why, whether it was the previous sentence or the later sentence "But you came, I came here to wait for you", he didn't want to ask, and he didn't want to know the answer.

At least I don't want to know the answer from her mouth.

So, the boy sighed.

Shu Mei stopped talking, and the gap between her fingers was filled with the soft fur of the white cat. Very comfortable.

After a long time, Ying Tianchang spoke: "You know that I came to Yue Fengshan because of the fire in Huangyun City. ”

Ying Tianchang's words paused here. Shu Mei didn't speak, her eyes looked at the lake water that Ying Tianchang was looking at when she woke up, she was as bright as golden water, and as gentle as water. Ying Tianchang said, "Why did you do that?"

"Actually, you know, why we met outside Chang'an, and why I let Qi Qi rain that fire in Huangyun City is a reason. The answer she gave made Ying Tianchang unable to refute, "Because I want you to come to our side." ”

"You guys?"

"We are the same people, the same people as you. Shu Mei said, "Unlike the group of self-proclaimed weird people in the Demon Gate, we are a group of fools, crazy, and people who live in this world for some reason, so when this world is lonely, the world is our hell." We are always looking for our purpose in life, like flying insects wandering in the night sky, always hoping for a light to guide us in the direction of progress. But there is no light in this world, so we create that light ourselves. ”

"You are the same as we are, and it is useless to stay in a heart that everyone wears a mask that suppresses their own nature, and the word camouflage. She said, "You're still not you, even though that's you." ”

Her words were complicated, and she seemed to have said a lot of great and amazing things, and Ying Tianchang didn't react. His expression was exactly the same as Shu Mei at the moment.

He said, "That light is like a demon here. It's not a questioning tone.

Shu Mei said just now that the main envoy of the Northwest Demon Tomb is the person in the same camp as her. But Ying Tianchang, who was sent to the northwest by Xu Lu to solve the demon trouble, didn't want to think or ask about it.

Shu Mei nodded.

Ying Tianchang said, "You didn't consider those innocent people in Huangyun City?"

In fact, what Shu Mei just said is an answer to Tianchang, but it is not.

Shu Mei shook his head, and just said: "Whether it is the Red Valley Country or the four northwestern states of the Tang Dynasty, or the entire Tang Dynasty and the entire world, there will be this kind of demon chaos born, and there will be that blood circle black flag standing, there will be ten thousand demon cities in the world looking down on the heavenly court, and everyone is not innocent." Don't talk about these big things, in the fire in Huangyun City, only you are innocent. ”

In the last sentence, Shumei's tone has pity and sympathy, corresponding to Tianchang's pity and sympathy.

"What's more, even if you release them from the cage in Huangyun City, you really think you've liberated them? Shu Mei rubbed the white cat's forehead.

"I know. Ying Tianchang said, "They can't get out." ”

"Once something wrong and bad happens, the whole world becomes bad, this world becomes bad, and it will not change because of anything good or right, and it will not be remedied. What happens is what happens, suffering is suffering, it will not fade, it will not improve, no amount of kindness and compensation can make it better. Shu Mei said, speaking of Ying Tianchang's heart.

Ying Tianchang looked at Shu Mei, suddenly smiled, and said: "Actually, I wanted to say that this mistake was caused by your companion, but it is not, I know that the cause is not him, but the root of the world." Both humans and demons are at fault, so that's how it should be, right?"

Shu Mei shook his head and said, "I don't count what I said." ”

Ying Tianchang's smile was more casual, and his heart became more and more like the lake around him, calm and cold.

"Do whatever you want?" asked Ying Tianchang.

Shu Mei said: "It should be done with your heart." ”

She also added: "At least you can't be like you now, just be at ease." ”

"But how can we be sure that our go-to behavior is right or wrong?"

Ying Tianchang looked at Shu Mei's eyes, her eyes seemed to contain everything he Ying Tianchang wanted to see in the world.

He asked.
