Chapter Twenty-Six: The Confusion of Broken Dreams
It's been five years, and you're alone in that strange place, do you miss me?
I heard that there is no light over there, so naturally there is no favorite sun, will you be a little disappointed?
However, in fact, without your Huayang, it seems that everything has become dimmed.
Of course, maybe it's just me thinking like this, after all, the smiles on the faces of those new disciples are still the same as you before, warm and bright.
After all, I promised you and Master, the remnants of the Demon Sect have been sealed by us in Southern Xinjiang, and I have not let go of the work of reviving the sect for a single day.
I remember that you always like to say that I am smart, yes, how can I not do these little things you explained?
But why don't I hear you praise me?
I know that you have a bold and considerate personality, even if you go to the unfamiliar side of life, you must be accompanied by your friends, but you promised me that you will give me a poem every day and play a song for me every night, have you forgotten?
I promised you, no matter how uncomfortable or unwilling I was, I persevered, but why can't you do it?
Don't you know that I can't smell your ink, I feel uneasy, and I can't hear your zither, and I can't sleep.
Weiyang, I hate you, I really, really hate you!
You said, but the willow tree we planted together next to the Yujian Ming Terrace has pulled branches, so they took me to build a grass hut under the shade of this tree and settle down, and then don't ask the master about the complicated things in the sect, but now I have built the grass house alone, and the willow branches also cover the roof, but you, when will you go home?
Everyone says that time can erase everything, and time can forget everything.
But why, I just can't forget you.
I remember your Queqiao Immortal, I remember the phoenix between your fingers, I remember you said that you will hold my hand all the time in this life, even if the sky collapses and the sea is dry and the stones are rotten, it will not change!
But why is it that there is no trace related to your Weiyang on the top of this big Yuanchen, except for the stone tablet whose handwriting has begun to blur.
You tell me that this Biqiong Rejuvenation Ring can heal wounds, but why do I wear it for five years, and every time I think of your chest, it still hurts like a pinprick in your chest; you tell me that this Biqiong Rejuvenation Ring can prolong life, but without you by my side, what is the point of me living for a thousand years or 10,000 years?
Weiyang, do you know that in the past five years, I have been really tired and uncomfortable.
Do you know that when you hold the manuscript of the poem you left behind, read it, and your eyes are full of tears.
Do you know that holding the "dragon soul" of your refining and chemical integration, stroking and caressing, you will cry all over your clothes.
Do you know that holding the jade ring that you sacrificed your life to recapture, looking at it, blood flowed from your eyes.
Do you know, I don't want to be a leader, I just want to have you by my side, even if the mana is lost, even if it is unknown, even if it is a village woman holding a broom and dust, and living around firewood, rice, oil and salt all her life, so what's the matter.
Do you know that without you, I really can't find the reason and hope to live anymore.
Please forgive me, for the last waywardness, please forgive me, want to be with you.
"Don't!" Chu Yunyi shouted nervously and urgently, and opened his eyes suddenly, only to find that there was nothing unusual in the not very spacious bedroom in front of him, except for the flashing green light and Qin Bingyan's deafening snoring, the purple figure that was lying on the desk in his mind before and the incomparably familiar Qingli words had disappeared.
picked up the pillow towel on the side and wiped the sweat on his head, looked at his wrist, but found that Biqiong's rejuvenation ring, which was still radiant a moment ago, suddenly dimmed.
"What's wrong, Yunyi?" Fang Rulan's gentle voice suddenly appeared at the door, pulling Chu Yunyi, who was immersed in chaotic thoughts, back to reality: "What's wrong, have a nightmare?"
"Hmm!" Chu Yunyi nodded, stretched out his hand and pointed at Qin Bingyan, who was still asleep, and then turned to point out of the door, signaling Senior Brother not to wake up Qin Bingyan and go outside to talk in detail.
Fang Rulan took a step back to make way of space, and then walked side by side with Chu Yunyi to the outside of the corridor behind the house, and slowly sat down along the cold bluestone steps. The cold moonlight slowly sprinkled down and fell on Chu Yunyi's pale and tired face, Fang Rulan looked at her junior brother quietly, trimming her eyebrows and frowning slightly, but she didn't take the lead in speaking.
The faint chirping of insects was particularly noisy in the silence of the night, just like Chu Yunyi's mood, which fluctuated unsteadily.
"Senior brother," after all, it was Chu Yunyi who spoke slowly: "Do you say that in another world, there is also a self with the same appearance and demeanor, but the life experience and fate are completely different?"
"Another world, a completely different self?" Fang Rulan repeated what she heard, and asked after a moment's reflection, "You mean that you dreamed of a different self just now?"
"No, Senior Brother, that's too real, it's not a dream!" Chu Yunyi shook his head and frowned: "And although that person looks the same as me, he has another name and another identity, I don't seem to be dreaming, but like walking into another person's memory." ”
"Another person's memory?" Fang Rulan shook her head and replied, "Enter other people's memories out of thin air, this ..... I don't think I've heard of it, and it's probably unlikely that the person is still the same as you. ”
"Could it be reincarnation?" Chu Yunyi raised his head and looked at the crooked waning moon in the sky: "I mean, the person I entered was my own past life!"
"Past life? no, no, no...... When a person enters the reincarnation of the underworld, his memory will be erased, and it is impossible to remember what happened in his previous life after reincarnation. Fang Rulan replied with great certainty.
"Also, even if I can remember my past life, I can't remember what happened after I died in my previous life!" Chu Yunyi muttered to himself in a low voice, while his hand kept fiddling with the jade ring with a glowing green light.
"Is there anything wrong with this Biqiong Rejuvenation Ring?" Fang Rulan asked with a little vigilance, pondering for a moment: "Did you find out that the head of the sect had done something on this?"
"This shouldn't be," Chu Yunyi shook his head: "Yao Tianyun probably just thinks that it is not helpful for cultivating immortal arts, so he sent it to me as waste, those dreams, I have already started to have them before." ”
"Yunyi, can you tell Senior Brother what kind of dream it is, and when did these dreams start?" Fang Rulan looked at Chu Yunyi with concern and asked.
"These dreams...... In fact...... In fact, when I was very young, there were some fragmentary fragments, probably the time when you took the warm yang jade and asked my father to treat me with yang qi, my body began to appear after I couldn't bear the coma, and then after a long time and I was still young, I almost forgot about it, but when the Falling Star Sword recognized the master, I was almost devoured, these memories slowly began to emerge, a few days ago when Bingyan used the red yang bead to dispel the cold poison for me, I fell into a coma due to pain, and since then those fragments have become more real, until now after wearing this Biqiong rejuvenation ring, I feel ....... It felt as if all the memories were starting to sprout. As for the content...... Chu Yunyi said while recalling: "I only remember that it was about ......"
"Nangong Li?" only heard a "squeak", and the window by the cloister was suddenly propped up, and a drunken face appeared.
"Why are you awake?" Chu Yunyi had already turned around and asked quickly.
"Nonsense, woke up a long time ago?" With a quick jump, Qin Bingyan rushed out of the window that was not too narrow: "I don't want to think about being stared at by countless people every day for more than ten years, if a few people next to the bed can't find out every day, I don't know how many times I've died!"
Qin Bingyan's jokes were more or less self-deprecating and helpless, but the sunny smile at the moment still infected the friends beside him.
"In the future, no. He put it on Qin Bingyan's shoulder and said with a smile: "I'll help you guard it and ensure the safety of your 'back'." ”
"That's not it, this is what you owe me as a little brother!" Qin Bingyan gently bumped Chu Yunyi who was leaning on him with his shoulder, then stretched out his hand and slapped Chu Yunyi's free hand lightly.
"Bingyan, how do you think it's Nangong Li?" Looking at the two of them, Fang Rulan couldn't suppress the relief and joy in her heart, and after a while, she asked.
"He told us before dinner!" Qin Bingyan's dark eyes turned, and he said with a smile: "Senior brother, you forgot, as soon as he brought Biqiong Rejuvenation Ring with him, he began to ask where Nangong Li was, this is not ......"
"Okay, no one will treat you as a dumb person if you don't speak. Chu Yunyi turned around violently and covered Qin Bingyan's mouth, and said viciously.
"Haha, Yunyi, it seems that you have really grown up!" Fang Rulan only felt that Chu Yunyi was shy, but instead laughed: "I heard that Nangong Master and Master have long had the intention of marrying......
"No, no, no, brother, you're wrong. Chu Yunyi hurriedly interrupted: "I'm looking for her definitely not what you think, it's just ...... It's just that I have some doubts and want to ask her......"
However, no matter how Chu Yunyi explained, the two people next to him were smiling and silent, looking like "don't explain, I understand".
"You guys!" Chu Yunyi couldn't help but feel angry, stood up suddenly, and said as if he had a clear position: "Hmph, as soon as it dawns tomorrow morning, I will go to Nangong Li to ask for clarification." ”
As soon as Chu Yunyi finished speaking, he ran back to the bedroom as if he was running away, leaving Qin Bingyan and Fang Rulan behind, looking at each other with a smile.
It's just that the two people who are outside naturally don't know that Chu Yunyi, who was stuffed on the bed, suddenly sat up, looked at the Biqiong Rejuvenation Ring in his hand, and countless complex and strange thoughts continued to flow through his mind full of dreams and smiles.
