Chapter 12: The Past

Qi Chu believed in Shi Ziyu for the time being, he looked at Lan Ting who was still unconscious in his arms, and felt a little anxious. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info Thinking that Sheling was originally a person from Nanzhao, the illusion used was by no means ordinary, and he was even more worried when he thought about it.

Shi Ziyu asked, "How is he?"

Qi Chu said: "This illusion is very powerful, I have given him true qi, but there is no sign of waking up." ”

Shi Ziyu said: "Then what should we do now? Staying here is waiting for death." ”

Qi Chu said: "We are already in the Great Array of Sealing Mountains, and everything we see now is an illusion, and we can't get out unless we find a living door." ”

Shi Ziyu said: "Where will Shengmen be?"

She saw that Qi Chu only cared about giving Lan Ting her true anger, and she didn't hear what she said at all. didn't bother to deal with Qi Chu, so he sat down and thought about it.

Qi Chu found that Lan Ting's pulse was disordered, and no matter how he treated it, he couldn't let Lan Ting's Qi Jing Eight Veins return to their places. Looking at Lan Ting's painful face, his heart ached. This kid has suffered a lot since he was a child, and he wanted to follow him to teach him some martial arts, and wait for a few years to make a difference. But following Qi Chu also means that he often brushes shoulders with danger, and Qi Chu feels guilty in his heart.

At this time, Shi Ziyu stood up and walked towards the cliff, her bright eyes rolling, obviously she had an idea in her heart. Came to the edge of the cliff, picked up the stone and threw it down, "Huh", squatted down and stretched out his hand to the bottom of the cliff, and suddenly turned around and shouted to Qi Chu: "This is a real cliff!"

"What are you talking about!" Qi Chu looked up suddenly

Shi Ziyu ran over and said, "You said that everything we saw in the formation was fake, but the cliff was real, if you hadn't saved me just now, I would definitely have fallen." So the cliff is the door of life!" she couldn't hide the joy in her eyes, and she realized how she could talk to this nasty ghost, and immediately turned away.

Qi Chu said: "You're right, when Sheling set up the formation, he must not have imagined that we would go to the cliff, he deliberately set the door of life on the cliff, it turned out to be born to death." Let's go. ”

"Where are you going?" Shi Ziyu didn't reply

"Down the mountain. ”

"I don't know what is under this cliff, and besides, do you know how dangerous it is to climb down this night?"

"It's even more dangerous to stay here, not to mention that Lan Ting is unconscious, we can't wait any longer. ”

Shi Ziyu didn't refute, Qi Chu was right. Instead of staying here and waiting for danger to come, it is better to fight for luck and climb down.

"Let's go!" Shi Ziyu's tone softened.

Qi Chu untied his belt and tied Lan Ting to his back, and looked at Shi Ziyu's waist again.

"You, what do you want to do?" Shi Ziyuqiao's face flushed, and she was worried in her heart. In such a situation, a lonely man and a widow, Qi Chu's martial arts are so high, she can't take a single move. If Qi Chu has any bad intentions, where can he resist.

"Unbuckle your belt. Qi Chu said

"You ......" Shi Ziyu took a step back and looked at Qi Chu vigilantly, "Don't mess around!"

Qi Chu said: "Untie your belt and tie it with me, so that if you encounter any danger when you climb down, I can save your life." ”

"Oh" Shi Ziyu breathed a sigh of relief, and listened to Qi Chu say again: "A child like you who hasn't grown up yet, I won't have any ideas." ”

Originally, she was embarrassed, but when she heard Qi Chu say it again, she suddenly blushed and became hot, so she had to obediently do what Qi Chu said.

Qi Chu carried Lan Ting on his back and pulled Shi Ziyu from the cliff to climb down the mountain.

The night was extremely dark, and the cliffs were unusually steep. The two of them only climbed half the distance, and Shi Ziyu felt weak. She listened to Qi Chu's breathing was still steady, and thought to herself that this person's martial arts were really high, and he was carrying a person on his back, and he didn't even breathe faster after climbing such a long distance. At this time, he felt a warm current behind him, and knew that it was Qi Chu who had transmitted true qi to him. This true qi is like the water of a clear stream, soft and cool, and Shi Ziyu suddenly has strength.

She wanted to thank Qi Chu, but she couldn't say anything when she thought of the things on the top of the mountain, but now she always felt bad if she didn't say anything, so she said, "What did you think of in the illusion just now?"

Qi Chu said: "I didn't think of anything. ”

Shi Ziyu said in his heart: Yes, he became famous as a young man, and he must have experienced a lot so far, which has created his firm mind, and naturally he will not be fascinated by illusions. I heard Qi Chu ask again, "What did you think of?"

"I thought of my mother. ”

"It's the first time you've been away from home for so long. ”

Shi Ziyu said: "I'm not homesick, I just miss my mother, she died when I was six years old." ”

"Anyone dares to beat the idea of the lady of the owner of the Passing Water Villa?" Qi Chu asked

"She hanged herself, and my dad was out drinking that year. My mother couldn't stand the blow and hanged herself. You know, I watched her die, and I was terrified. Since then, my father has never hugged me, and my brother is the only one in the family who treats me best, and now he doesn't know whether he is alive or dead, and I feel uncomfortable. ”

Qi Chu softened his heart and said, "Don't be sad, I promise you that you will save your brother." ”

Shi Ziyu said: "Are all men like this? Once you become famous, you forget your original vow." Qi Chu, are you too?" she thought that Qi Chu would not answer, because in the eyes of the famous Streamer Child, I was just a little girl, even if I was the eldest lady of the Shi family, even if I had the appearance of a captivating city?

But I heard Qi Chu smile bitterly: "If I can be so kind, I don't have to be so painful now." ”

Shi Ziyu was so kind of Lan Xin, hearing the meaning of the words, he couldn't help asking, "Do you also have something sad?"

Qi Chu somehow felt great pity in his heart in the face of this child, perhaps because she was also a hard-working person.

"I didn't know who my parents were since I could remember, but Master said that I was an abandoned baby and that he had picked them up in the mountains and forests. I studied art with my master since I was a child, went down the mountain at the age of sixteen, and became famous at the age of seventeen, that is, there were too many changes in that year. He stopped at this point, and the old truth was painful. If it weren't for his revenge over the years, I'm afraid he would have sunk into this painful past. Now I said that I wanted to make her feel better, but Shi Ziyu felt a pain in her heart for no reason, and the two stopped talking until they climbed down the mountain.

Qi Chu took her forward for a while, and then broke the branch and started a fire.

In the dark night, the branches of the trees crackled, and the Shi Ziyu reflected in the firelight was beautiful and moving.

"Do you have a sweetheart?" Shi Ziyu looked at Qi Chu, his heart was pounding, although he had experienced vicissitudes, his demeanor was still the same, there must have been many people who pursued him back then. She thought again: A perfect person like him should be very demanding, and he won't like others easily. At this time, there was some contradiction in his heart, and he only looked at Qi Chu.

"Yes" Qi Chu settled Lan Ting and sat down.

was a little disappointed, she didn't know what was wrong with her, she hated this person just now, how could she care about him now. Maybe it's because he's more pitiful than himself.

"Who is it?" she asked weakly, for fear that Qi Chu would not answer.

Qi Chu felt a pain in his heart, did not answer, and said after a long time: "The most sorry person in my life is my little junior sister, I grew up with her since childhood, and I am also a childhood sweetheart." ”

Shi Ziyu felt that when Qi Chu said the three words of little junior sister, his voice trembled.

"And then you got married?"

"No, I killed her with my own hands. ”

"Ah" Shi Ziyu looked at him in surprise and asked tentatively, "She betrayed you?"

"No, she's always been nice to me. It's just that I was young and rash and provoked too many enemies, and in the end I affected her. Fourteen years ago, she was poisoned by the Ghost Lotus Gu of the Gu King of Miao Jiang, and ten thousand flesh worms were born in her body, if I didn't kill her. She will be eaten to death by meat worms, and in the end there will be no bones left, and she doesn't want to die so unbearably herself. She said that she wanted to leave the world quietly and beautifully, so that I could remember her most beautiful appearance. ”

The moonlight was blurred, the cold stars were quiet, and the howling wind was also stunned.

Shi Ziyu's heart was like a knife, and fourteen years later, she heard Qi Chu mention the past again, although he understated it. But she clearly felt Qi Chu's heart bleeding, because this man was extremely calm at all times, and now when he said this, his fists were clenched, his bones were white, and even his teeth were gritted to death. Killing his childhood sweetheart with his own hands, what kind of pain will it be? How did he live so many years?

"Did you avenge her later?"

"Later, I entered the hinterland of Miao Jiang alone, and the Thirteen Ghost Gu Gates joined forces to stop me. I killed alone for seven days and seven nights, sleeplessly, and finally killed people as blood men and horses as blood horses. Even my gold-painted purple cloud robe was dyed red, but in the end, I let the Gu King escape. ”

When Shi Ziyu was young, she had heard her father talk about the destruction of the Thirteen Sects of Miao Jiang's Ghost Gu, but she didn't know until today that it was Qi Chu alone. At that time, he must have hated it to death. Even if there are thousands of troops in front of him, he must take revenge regardless of his life!

Qi Chu leaned against the tree and closed his eyes, Shi Ziyu didn't know what he was thinking. I saw that his chest was rising and falling, and I was afraid that he had already turned over the river and the sea.

A person who did not hesitate to destroy the Thirteen Sects of Ghost Gu in order to take revenge, he must have had a hard time in the past fourteen years. Even if he is a streamer? He is also a human being, as long as he is a human being, he has pain that he can't forget or erase, and life is like a lonely night, and he will only ache faintly when he is alone.

Shi Ziyu looked at Qi Chu and felt distressed.

Suddenly, I heard Qi Chu say: "There is the official road ahead, and we will set off at dawn." ”

"Where are you going?"

"To Yangzhou"

But I don't want to go back, without my mother and brother, can that home still be considered home? She finally asked, "Will you go with me?"

"Yes, I'll go to Yangzhou to find an old man to treat Lan Ting's injuries. ”

The stone in Shi Ziyu's heart was finally put down, and with him by his side all the way, maybe it wouldn't be so lonely. Look at Qi Chu again, maybe if I accompany him, he won't be so painful.

Shi Ziyu fell asleep tiredly, and in her dream she returned to her childhood, shouting behind her mother's back: "Mother, can you hug me." ”

How carefree was she then?

But who can not grow up?
