At dusk, the wind is blowing in the mountains, and a heavy rain is coming.

The flickering flames in the brazier were like naughty children, jumping and jumping constantly, reflecting on Tang Xueluo's cheeks, and the skin looked even more pale without blood.

Ji Chengche knelt beside him, silently threw the paper money in his hand into the brazier, and watched it turn red and quickly turn to ashes.

Wang Rou had just fallen asleep under the escort of Mei Zhongxue, and there was silence outside the mourning hall, and even the guards on patrol walked on tiptoe carefully.

Ji Cheng's mood was extremely contradictory, and a thousand words were blocked in his throat, and he really didn't know how to speak.

As soon as Granny Shang left, Tang Xueluo was the most uncomfortable and needed her comfort and companionship. However, he had an entanglement with Wang Rou by mistake, and tomorrow morning, he would go to the Beihai Ice Falls, and he didn't know when he would return.

This is what he owes Wang Rou and wants to pay it back, but how can he explain his deep affection for Xueluo, is he sorry?

Before the accident, although he had vaguely felt that Wang Rou was far more affectionate to him than his master and servant or friend, he didn't really take it to heart, and just wanted to grow old with Tang Xueluo.

It wasn't until this time that he was surprised to find out that Wang Rou was so affectionate to him. It's a pity that the beauty is kind, how should I bear it?

He could die for Wang Rou and do everything, but he couldn't give his heart to her.

Presumably Wang Rou already understood this, but she still did it without hesitation, without asking for anything in return or for results.

Maybe in her mind, exchanging her death for the life of her sweetheart is the most beautiful result in this life.

"Fool!" Ji Cheng's nose was sour, and his thoughts were as chaotic as a ball of twine.

"Don't blame yourself too much. Tang Xueluo used tongs to stir the embers in the brazier, her eyes were hazy as if covered with a layer of rain and mist, and said softly: "If you have been deeply guilty and can't extricate yourself, you will inevitably live up to Miss Wang's intention to sacrifice her life to save her." ”

Ji Chengche didn't expect Tang Xueluo to take the initiative to comfort herself, she had mixed feelings in her chest, and blurted out: "I'm sorry." ”

Tang Xueluo smiled reluctantly when she heard this: "Brother Chengqing, this is not like what you said." In my mind, you will always stand up to the sky and dare to act. Don't be stupid, let's take Miss Wang and set off early tomorrow morning. I'll take care of myself and wait for you...... Come back. ”

"Snow falls!" Ji Chengche was stunned, staring at Tang Xueluo's pretty face in amazement, I don't know if it is sweet or bitter, happy or sad?

Tang Xueluo slowly held his hand and said tightly: "You must come back, I will wait for you every day and every night, from sunrise to moonset!"

"I swear, I will definitely come back!" Ji Cheng's heart suddenly gave birth to infinite pride, and he made a heavy promise.

In the firelight, the two of them held hands like this and stopped talking, and there was no need to speak again.

The last flame in the brazier was extinguished, and only the dim light of the candle remained in the mourning hall.

Ji Chengche looked at Tang Xue's delicate and thin figure, thinking of Granny Shang's words and instructions before she died, and the deep affection in her eyes turned into a gradual infatuation.

I don't know how long it was, but it was already dark outside, and a bonfire was lit up in the camp, twinkling and shining like the stars in the sky.

"Ji Chengqing, get out. ”

Suddenly, Xiang Lin's voice sounded outside the mourning hall, breaking through the silence and poignancy of the night.

Ji Chengche didn't know why Xiang Lin went and returned, and said to Tang Xueluo: "I'll go and see, what moths he put in him." ”

Tang Xueluo admonished: "Don't fight." ”

Ji Chengqing smiled faintly and said, "Now he wants to fight, but I'm afraid he can't beat me." ”

As he walked out of the mourning hall, the wind in the mountains was blowing more and more fiercely, and it rumbled through the trees like the tide crashing against the rocks.

Tang Xue watched Ji Cheng's figure gradually disappear into the night, and her eyes dimmed unconsciously.

She sat alone in the night, feeling the cold she had never felt before.

Mo Dao does not kill the soul, the curtain is swept by the west wind, and people are thinner than yellow flowers.

In the eyes of tens of millions of witch cult believers, she is an otherworldly and elegant priest, who cannot be weak or cry.

Even in front of Ji Chengqing, she has to be strong and calm.

But when he left, she could feel the shape and temperature of her tears.

The mother-in-law is gone, and Ji Chengche will soon leave to do a difficult and uncertain thing, she doesn't know if she can hold on, how long can she last?

She couldn't let Ji Chengche see her crying and poignant and weak appearance, so he would be worried that he would be upset.

She had to be strong and let him walk with confidence.

If you love him, you should fulfill him.

It's just that no matter how hard she tries, she can't forget the fact that Ji Chengche and Wang Rou have a skin-to-skin relationship, and she knows better that with his temperament, she may not be able to leave Wang Rou ruthlessly.

If that is the case, he will no longer be his clear brother.

Thinking about it, she felt a burst of weakness and weakness, fell on the coffin of Granny Shang, and said softly: "Mother-in-law, what should my granddaughter do, you teach me." ”

Granny Shang was sleeping in the coffin, unable to answer her.

At this moment, Ji Chengche and Xiang Lin had already walked out of the camp and stood still beside the winding mountain stream.

The mountains and forests are lonely and strange, and occasionally there are night guards who pass by with torches in their hands.

"Anyway, why is it nerve-wracking. Ji Chengche asked impatiently: "If it's a fight, forget it." ”

"Are you afraid of losing to me?" Xiang Lin mocked.

Ji Chengche said hesitantly: "Your Excellency is now half a cripple, I will beat you, and I will not win." ”

Xiang Lin sneered and sneered: "Don't you think this is the only chance to win against me? If you miss this village, you won't have that shop." ”

"If you have to be sent to the door to beg for a beating, I will satisfy you. ”

Xiang Lin looked up to the sky and said: "It's you who is cheap, and you actually whimsically want to break into the Beihai Ice Falls." Do you think you are Mr. Big? If you want to die, I am happy to watch, but I don't have to drag Wang Rou to the funeral. ”

Ji Chengche said angrily: "Nonsense, do you have any other ways besides?"

Xiang Lin chuckled a few times, shook his head and said, "Idiot, didn't anyone teach you a saying called 'To untie the bell, you need to tie the bell'?"

Ji Chengche was stunned for a moment, and then heard Xiang Lin continue: "Since the Awakening Dragon Fang was passed down by my master, why don't you ask him to try it? At least it is more reliable than you going to the Beihai Ice Waterfall to find a needle in a haystack to find Mr. Big." ”

Ji Chengche's heart moved slightly, but he didn't speak, just stared at Xiang Lin, wondering what kind of medicine he was selling in his gourd.

Xiang Lin understood that Ji Cheng couldn't trust himself, and said to himself: "Wang Rou can't last many days, you have to find my master as quickly as possible." The place where he lives is extremely secret, and few people know about it except for our brothers and sisters and my father. It's a pity that my injuries are too serious, and Wang Rou needs you to renew your blood from time to time, so I have to cheapen you. ”

Ji Cheng's eyes lit up, and he already believed that Xiang Lin was not joking.

"I don't know where the ghost master lives in seclusion?"

Xiang Lin said in a low voice: "Yunshen doesn't know where to go. ”

"Yunzhong Mountain?" Ji Cheng said in surprise, he didn't expect that the place where the ghost master lived in seclusion was near the left side of the Holy Capital City, and it was only a stone's throw away from the Lingshan where the Holy Land of the Witch Sect was located.

"The place where the master lives is called 'Molu', and there is a Qimen Dunjia array around it. I'm going to tell you the formation trick now, as long as you're not too stupid, you should be fine in the past. ”

Xiang Lin bent down, picked up a branch and made a map into a map with a few simple strokes on the mud floor, and said, "You swear first that you will never tell the second person where Molu is." If you break your oath, the sky will thunder and thunder, and you and the person you love will be widowed and lonely for life. ”

Ji Chengche gritted his teeth and finally responded, raising his left hand and swearing to the sky.

Xiang Lin drew the map, and taught Ji Chengqing the formation trick.

Ji Chengche has a high attainment in the art of Qimen Dunjia, so he can understand it at a glance, and he quickly memorizes the formation trick.

Xiang Lin wiped the map with the sole of his boot and said, "If the master can't save the junior sister, you'd better pray that you won't be met by me again in the future." In case, if you are lucky enough to be rescued by Senior Sister, what are you going to do with her in the future?"

Ji Chengche was stunned, he really didn't know how to answer this question.

Seeing this, Xiang Lin sneered, and said sharply: "Sure enough, eat and wipe clean and turn around and leave." If my sister comes back to life, I will take care of her and protect her, and you, how far and as far as you want, if you dare to mess with her again, I swear I will let you die without a place to be buried!"

Ji Chengche listened to his scolding so badly, the fire hit upward, narrowed his eyes slightly, and said slowly: "Wang Rou doesn't worry about whether she is dead or alive, I will treat her well." You like to jump up and down, but you'd better keep your mouth in check, or I won't mind sewing it for you!"

"Will you treat him well?" Xiang Lin sneered and said, "What do you do to her? Marry her? Senior sister is a fool, knowing that you will be sorry for her, and she is willing to die for you!"

"I don't have time to listen to your nonsense! Thank you for telling me where Lingshi lives in seclusion. ”

Ji Chengche couldn't bear to tear up with Xiang Lin, and was even more afraid that he would not be able to help but be angry with him, so he turned his head and walked towards the camp.

Xiang Lin couldn't help but be annoyed when he saw Ji Chengche leave him and return to the camp, staring at his back and saying fiercely: "You bastard, when I save my junior sister, I will kill you quickly!"

Ji Chengche didn't have the heart to care about Xiang Lin's depression at this time. If he didn't understand why the other party had a strong murderous intent and hostility towards him at first, where this grudge came from, now he finally understood a little bit.

If anyone is regarded as an imaginary rival by someone like Xiang Lin who acts unscrupulously and has strong cultivation and is outstanding, he should not sleep well at night. But Ji Chengche doesn't care anymore - he even provoked this turtle son's Lao Tzu, will he be afraid of him?

He returned to the camp and glanced at the tent where Tang Xueluo was from a distance, it was silent and dark, thinking that he had already slept. Hesitantly came to Wang Rou's tent, opened the door curtain, and saw Wang Rou sleeping soundly.

The faint candle flame flickered with a golden glow, and she smiled carefree in her sleep, like a baby.

Ji Chengche quietly walked to Wang Rou's side and sat down cross-legged, gently brushing a strand of messy hair from her sideburns.

Then settle down and refine the blood, and wait for the dawn.
