Chapter 514: Seeing Off
Qi Chu walked out, closed the door, found a room that no one lived in, and walked in.
The room was quite tidy, and after lighting the oil lamp, Qi Chu's forehead was covered with beads of sweat in the dim light. He hurriedly sat down on the bed, closed his eyes, and steadied his breathing. But despite this, my heart was pounding, blood was pounding and pounding, blood was pounding against the meridians, and my ears were buzzing.
He wasn't seriously injured today, but he was moved by the fight with Kun. The demon that had been suppressed by him came out again at this time, and countless bloody pictures flashed in his mind, making him miserable.
This is also the reason why he quickly left Xu Jinyu's room just now.
The light shook, Qi Chu's body trembled, and he felt dizzy, and the demons in his heart were devouring his heart. Try to stay awake and fight against the demons tenaciously.
After two hours, the violently beating heart slowly stabilized, the breathing began to become smoother, and the beads of sweat on his forehead subsided.
Qi Chu suppressed the inner demon, but he felt that this time it took a lot longer than the last time. It seems that every time the demon appears, it is more serious than the last time, but Linglang Pavilion's peerless practice is to have a demon in the end.
If this continues, sooner or later he will be controlled by demons.
Qi Chu was in a heavy mood, got out of bed and walked to the door, pushed the door out, and walked aimlessly. I didn't know how to walk in front of the Divine Court Hall, maybe because this place was the most familiar.
The main hall was brightly lit, and Venerable Shanhua called the disciples who were keeping vigil to go back to rest, and he was guarding Yuyan's body alone.
There was no coffin, no paper money, and the peaceful Yuyan Venerable lay on a wooden plank, as if he was asleep.
Venerable Shanhua was talking to his junior disciples, recalling the events that had happened over the years, some happy and some tricky. He kept babbling, how much he hoped that his junior brother could give him some response.
"Senior, are you okay?" Qi Chu quietly walked in and stood beside Shanhua. He wanted to put incense on Yuyan, but there was no incense burner.
Being disturbed, Venerable Shanhua was not surprised. Seeing that it was Qi Chu, he bowed his head slightly, "It's okay."
"Don't be too sad seniors, everyone has this day, sooner or later. Qi Chu wanted to comfort Venerable Shanhua for a few words. After all, they had fought together, although the elders of the Divine Court wanted to kill Lan Ting before. But that's in the past.
"I know, but it was too sudden. Venerable Shanhua was squatting just now, but now he stood up and motioned for Qi Chu to go outside and say. He didn't want to disturb Yuyan's purity.
The two of them walked out of the Divine Court Hall, and the night was dark, but it was the most peaceful time.
The current Venerable Shanhua is already the head of the Divine Court, but how he wishes he wasn't.
"I'm going to send him off tomorrow. "The Venerable Benevolence.
"Don't you need a coffin?" Qi Chu wondered
"The rules of the Divine Court are not quite the same, people will not be buried after death. Tomorrow we will use cremation, because we believe that the fire will burn all the mistakes and sins that a person has committed in life, so that they can go on the road cleanly. Venerable Shanhua explained
Qi Chu looked back at Yu Yan, "At least Yu Yan's seniors are satisfied, and that's enough." ”
In the end, this life is nothing more than death. But many people don't look at death, and many people only realize that they have so many regrets at the end of their lives, if they can really die as satisfied as Yuyan, it can be regarded as a happy ending.
Venerable Shanhua sighed and said, "In order to make me the head of the sect cleanly, the senior brother stopped all the faults on himself and endured these pains alone. I'm so ashamed of him. ”
Qi Chu said: "So the seniors should take good care of the Divine Court, and when they meet Yuyan's seniors under the Nine Springs one day, you can tell him without shame, I did it." ”
"I did it?" Venerable Shanhua repeated Qi Chu's words, of course he knew that he too would die one day. Even just now, I thought about simply accompanying Senior Brother Yuyan so that he would not be lonely on the Huangquan Road.
But now that he is the head of the Divine Court, he can't be so willful and presumptuous. In order to protect him, Yuyan bears all the faults alone, and even has to bear infamy after death, which is incomprehensible. This made him feel very guilty, but he heard what Qi Chu said. Venerable Shanhua somewhat understood.
The death of his junior brother is irreparable, and the things he did during his lifetime are not only for the divine court, but also for himself. I can't live up to the trust of my junior brother, Venerable Shanhua thought to himself.
As Qi Chu said, a person's life will always end, and death is inevitable. If I can protect the Divine Court, when I really step into the ghost gate with both feet, I will have the face to say to my junior brother, I did it.
That's enough.
Venerable Shanhua looked up at the starry sky, and when the night was about to end, the stars were almost transparent, "Which star in the sky do you say will be Yuyan?"
Qi Chu also raised his head, "No matter which one it is, he will guide you." ”
......
After dawn, the disciples carried the body of Venerable Yuyan to the woods. The head of the Divine Court, the Venerable Shanhua, was in front, and the elders were behind, bowing and bowing. Originally, there was no need to kneel down as a send-off gift, but if there was no Yuyan, the divine court would fall into the hands of Shiye, and the severity could be imagined. They are thankful.
Qi Chu and they also participated in the send-off, watching the fire ignite, and the body of Venerable Yuyan gradually turned into ashes, they also blessed Yuyan under the Nine Springs to rest in peace.
As the fire burned, the wind blew away the ashes and drifted across the woods. From now on, Yuyan belongs to this land, and this land is his best home.
After sending off Venerable Yuyan, Qi Chu and them bid farewell to the people of the Divine Court, it was time to leave.
This time, it was still the halberd that rowed a small boat to take them out.
By the sea, the sea submerges over the beach and then recedes. Tianyin God counted it as a practice for them, looking at Qi Chu, revealing a kind gaze.
"I know that you and Kang Hui are good friends, if you see him in the future, give him a message for me. ”
"Although the seniors said, I will definitely do such a small thing. Qi Chu didn't tell Tianyin Shensuan about Shi Ziyu, so he naturally concealed the cause of Cui Lingmiao's death.
Tianyin sighed, "It's not a small matter, at least it's a big thing for me. Back then, I forced Lingmiao to marry into the Shi family, broke her up with Kang Hui, and finally committed suicide. I felt very guilty all these years. ”
Qi Chu was shocked, it was Tianyin Shenxuan who forced Cui Lingmiao to marry the Shi family, no wonder his predecessors had stayed in Yangzhou for so many years. It turned out to be because of guilt.
Tianyin Shen calculated: "Since Ling Miao's death, as a master, I no longer dare to see Kang Hui. Although I feel guilty, I can't apologize. My mentor, Venerable Cunxin, has returned to heaven, and I don't plan to enter the rivers and lakes again in the future, but I will live on this land. But those who owe Kang Hui cannot escape. You take me to tell him, I'm sorry, Master was wrong. ”
