108. Three thousand weak water
Bai Zi painted on a stone on the table that looked like jade but not jade, and wrote some scriptures with a vermilion pen that he didn't know at all. Youruo was absentmindedly grinding cinnabar on the side, while mixing in the blood of Xuanniao as instructed, looking like he wanted to speak and stopped.
Bai Zihua didn't raise his head: "If you have anything to say, just say it." ”
She had peeked at him all morning with that strange look, as if she had never known him.
Youruo grinned: "Your Excellency, why don't you ask me what I gave birth to yesterday?"
Bai Zihua paused. He asked if it was useful, this girl came to Changliushan for Xiao Gu from the beginning, and it was obvious that after the two met yesterday, they reached a consensus and colluded. Xiao Gu wanted to remember nothing, how could he let Youruo say it, could he still beat her into a trick?
Seeing that Bai Zihua was silent, different from last night, and he usually looked inviolable, a trace of urgency flashed in his eyes, and he deliberately lowered his head and twisted his face red: "Really, I really didn't expect that Your Excellency would have such an enthusiastic and unrestrained side......"
Bai Zihua drank the tea in his mouth, almost didn't squirt out, choked twice, and forced himself to calm down and calm his emotions. He only knew that his true body was not lost, and he was not so big as to do something to Xiao Gu, but he didn't quite know how far he had gone wrong. When Youruo, who was an apprentice, said this, he couldn't help but be more suspicious, more depressed, and more embarrassed.
He has always been extremely confident in himself, but after the last poisoning gaffe, he still has to rely on Xiao Gu to cover up his ugliness with dementorship, and this time he will inevitably feel even more uneasy about what he has forgotten that is completely out of his control.
Even if he fell into the devil at that time, lost his mind and was uncontrollable, it was not his true intention, but in the end, it was wrong, it was wrong.
Seeing that his eyes were gloomy for a while, and with a sense of guilt and self-reproach, Youruo asked tentatively: "When will Master be able to return to the Love Palace?"
Although he didn't say it, he was obviously more concerned about the master than anyone else, and hoped that the master would come back. But why do you have to be so ruthless? She couldn't figure it out.
Bai Zihua looked at her seriously: "Do you know what your master's current identity is?"
Youruo lowered his head: "Demon God ......"
"Then do you think she still has the possibility of returning to Changliu Mountain?"
"But you-"
"Do you think I didn't expel her from the school so that one day she could come back and leave a way back?"
Youruo looked at him eagerly and nodded repeatedly: "And Venerable, haven't you been trying to find a way to separate the power seal of the demon god without hurting the master for so long?"
Bai Zihua put down the red pen and looked indifferent.
"First of all, I didn't drive her out, not because I was thinking of any master-apprentice feelings, but to leave a little hope in her heart, a way back, and a lamp, so that she will at least have some consideration in the future, and she will take care of the long-term stay and the common people. If you remember, even if you are a kind and docile person in the world, you can't withstand too many grievances and pains. There must be a degree of punishment for everything, and killing them all will turn those who could have been reformed into cruel and insane. The extremes of things will be burned against jade. Despair is a terrible thing, and once your master feels that she has been abandoned by the world, it will only further push her to embark on the path of demon gods. So don't feel like I'm merciful, I'm just looking out for the big picture.
Secondly, even for the sake of the overall situation, before your master really became a demon god, she didn't even give up on herself, but we want to give up on her, and it's not right to kill her. True righteousness cannot be premised on sacrificing the ego. But if your master makes a big mistake, he must also take responsibility, so it can be said that it is not a pity to die. So when everything is irreparable, I will not hesitate to kill her with my own hands. ”
Youruo was shocked, and her forehead was covered with cold sweat. She used to just think that His Excellency was too far away to be close, but for the first time, his thoughts and deeds contained too many deep meanings, which was really terrifying.
Knowing that with Master's character, as long as she knew that she still had a little hope to return to Changliu and return to Venerable, she would work hard. will not fall, will not admit defeat, will not give up, and will not be easily swayed by the power of the demon god. Did Venerable have long seen through how deep Master's love for him is, so he has been using this to guide her and tie her up?
After last night, she just guessed that maybe the Venerable also likes the master a little, not just the master-apprentice relationship, but now it is completely bottomless.
The world is unpredictable, although it is impossible to give birth, everything is expected by the Venerable. However, the master was completely respected, and he was thoroughly insightful, and no matter how he turned it, he couldn't turn over his Five Finger Mountain. But once this kind of control is about to be lost, the Supreme will mercilessly clench his fists and pinch the master to death, like pinching an ant to death.
It's as cool as a piece on my back. I don't understand, since Your Excellency understands people's hearts and human nature so well, why is he always so ruthless to her, even if he says that he will kill him completely, he will only force the master who wants to return to the original to the end?
"Master's sanity is still alive and he hasn't been controlled by demonic power, and if he wants to come back, can't he make up for his mistakes and be lenient?"
Bai Zihua shook his head: "If you don't know that your master, Nan Wuyue Immortal Realm will definitely be removed, your master was in the ruins and caves, and he obviously had the opportunity to make up for his mistakes, but he never succeeded, but he became more and more affectionate with him." Do you think that with her current ability, she is still willing to restrain her hands and obediently return to Changliu to be punished, and watch Nan Wuyue die?"
Youruo looked at Bai Zihua and suddenly shuddered, and looked at him with wide eyes in horror: "It turns out that you have already decided...... Your Excellency"
Bai Zihua can't speak, since Xiao Gu has the power of the demon god, there can only be three in the end, either separate the power of the demon god, or be imprisoned, or die. Since ancient times, the competition for the power of several demon gods can only rely on the demon god entity to kill it when it has not yet taken shape, and then change hands after snatching, through the art of yin and yang. So if you want to say anything, it is impossible to separate the demon power at all, and he is not allowed to change from one demon god to another, which is also a symptom but not a cure. Driving her to the wilderness is equivalent to imprisoning her, at least she still has a way to live, and from the moment she returns to the Six Realms, she is doomed to only one way to die.
Back in Maoshan Dongfang, Yuqing drank some secret decoction to Hua Qiangu, plus the power of the demon god, many bone wounds on the body began to heal, but as usual, even if it was good, no matter how fast it was, the scars and pain would not be less. Listening to the creaking of the bones in the body is like a broken machine. Accustomed to such an out-of-the-ordinary person to endure the limit of pain, Hua Qiangu's face was pale, and he bit his lower lip without making a sound, and his head was full of cold sweat.
After all, it's not steel and iron bones, repeatedly fainting and waking up in pain, just like a broken clay doll, the body is pinched and reshaped, and after an afternoon, it finally heals. I fell asleep on the bed in a daze, and I don't know how many hours later, I heard Dongfang Yuqing leaning over and whispering in her ear: "Qingshui, Luo Eleven, and Xuanyuan Lang are here." ”
My mind cleared up in an instant, and I struggled to sit up with my eyes open. Dongfang Yuqing hurriedly helped her: "Don't worry, I said that you are asleep, they are still outside the door." ”
Hua Qiangu looked around in a hurry, and was a little nervous in his heart. Dongfang Yuqing knew her concerns and took the mask as thin as a cicada's wings from the side: "Do you want to wear it?"
Hua Qiangu thought for a moment, Xuanyuan Lang also came, and shook his head gently: "It's better not to use it, that's all." ”
Dongfang Yuqing opened the door and let Qingshui and them in. Luo Eleven couldn't wait to step into the door, and within a few steps, a green soft thing was pasted on his face. He took Sugar Treasure down and smiled softly and dotingly. Walking to Hua Qiangu's bedside, he was full of joy for this hard-won reunion, but when he looked up, he saw Hua Qiangu's face that had already been unrecognizable, and the whole person was stunned, and his smile froze instantly.
And Xuanyuan Lang and Qingshui, who entered with it, staggered back and almost stood unsteadily.
Luo Shiyi understood at a glance that it was the water of the Desperate Pool, when Hua Qiangu had just gone to Changliu Mountain, or the Sansheng Pool that he took her to. But he never thought that Hua Qiangu, who was greedless, desireless and ruthless at that time, would now suffer the punishment of ruthless pool water and carrion and bones, and end up like this.
I turned my face away in pain, and thought back to the scene when I first met, when she looked up and talked to herself with an innocent face, and I was almost unable to breathe.
Qingshui was already in tears, and he took a few steps forward and hugged Hua Qiangu and cried silently.
Xuanyuan Lang didn't know what the ruthless pond water of Changliu Mountain was, only that Hua Qiangu's appearance was destroyed. Standing in place, a thousand words choked up in his throat and unable to say a word.
Hua Qiangu raised the corners of her mouth hard, afraid that everyone would not be able to see that she was laughing. patted the back of the light water and whispered to reassure you, even if you are a cultivator, why bother with this flesh and skin. The light water couldn't stop crying, and the tears wet her clothes, and her hands stopped in the air, but she didn't dare to touch her face.
"Don't cry, you want to flood the Wanfu Palace, right?
Hua Qiangu helplessly hugged Qingshui Luoyi and stroked her head distressedly, and didn't know what to say for a while.
Hua Qiangu looked at Xuanyuan Lang, who was still stunned and didn't move, and couldn't help but laugh: "What's the matter, Brother Lang, didn't you once say that no matter whether Qiangu is a man or a woman, he looks like a human or looks like a pig's head, and he won't dislike me?"
Xuanyuan Lang's heart was sour, and tears almost fell. Thinking of the suffering she has endured over the past year, guilt and self-blame are overwhelming. I promised to protect her, but I couldn't do anything after all......
His body was as heavy as mercury, and he walked up to her step by step, holding her hand tightly. Hua Qiangu felt that he was trembling, obviously he couldn't bear to look at it, but he stared at his face deadly, as if he wanted to brand something in his heart.
Several people talked about the situation of the year, and Hua Qiangu also told them in detail about the things that were born in the year of the wilderness. After dinner, it was dark, and it was time for the three of them to leave.
"Brother Lang, I have a few words I want to tell you. Hua Qiangu said suddenly.
Everyone went out first, leaving them both in their rooms.
Xuanyuan Lang wanted to hold her as usual, but suddenly felt that he was not qualified. has always been arrogant and conceited, but he has never done anything for her, and he can't even accompany her. This powerlessness is more self-defeating than any failure.
Although Hua Qiangu couldn't understand the pain and anger in his heart at the moment, he also vaguely felt his self-blame. Patted him on the shoulder and smiled comfortingly.
"Brother Lang, karma for everything, this is the punishment I deserve, there is nothing to be sad about. Although I escaped from the wilderness, I have been restless all the time, and I always have a sense of foreboding. Xiaoyue was brought up by me, just like my child, he has never done anything wrong, even if it costs my life, I must find a way to save him. Therefore, from now on, it is inevitable that I will be the enemy of the Six Realms, and I am a guilty body, and it doesn't matter whether I live or die, but there are still too many worries to let go. In the future, Xiaoyue Dongfang can help me take care of it, and Sugar Bao is also in Qingshui, so I can only entrust it to you. She's in love with you so much......"
Xuanyuan Lang interrupted her and frowned, "Are you confessing your last words through the ages?" Or do you want to apologize for your sins with death after saving Xiaoyue?"
"No one, once they have too many thoughts and ties, they will become greedy for life and afraid of death, just like I know that I am a scourge and should obediently stay in the wilderness, but I still can't help but want to come back and see you. However, the future is dangerous and uncertain, to save Satsuki and the entire Six Realms as enemies, I have no confidence that I can retreat with my whole body. If something happens, I can only ask you to take care of it, and I don't have to worry about it anymore. ”
Xuanyuan Lang looked at Hua Qiangu steadily: "I will do my best to take care of her and protect her, but through the ages, you have to remember that the person I like has always been you." ”
Hua Qiangu shook his head lightly: "Brother Lang, the person you like is not me, we haven't spent much time together for so many years, and we don't know each other." The momentary heartbeat is not to love you, but to be so confused by the feeling of youth that you can't see anything else. We are both obsessive people, and you have always been competitive and used to persistence. For you, I am not so much a beloved as a belief and a symbol. Instead of ignoring the happiness and true love that is within reach around him and continuing to stubbornly cling to the illusion and fantasy of a young man, Brother Lang should calm down and think about what he has always wanted. ”
Xuanyuan Lang was stunned, and his avatar was slammed with a stick. But he still stubbornly took two steps back: "You are not me for eternity, you will not understand my feelings." I've never done anything for you, and I don't expect anything in return, as long as you know what I want. It doesn't matter if you don't believe it now, one day you'll understand. Take care ......"
"Brother Lang!"
Hua Qiangu stretched out his hand but didn't grab his gorgeous satin sleeves, and Xuanyuan Lang walked out without looking back. Under the plum tree not far away, Qingshui stood quietly waiting for him.
"Is Thousand Bones alright?"
"It's fine. ”
"I really admire her for being so optimistic and strong in everything. If my face ......," Qingshui reached out and touched his face with palpitations, and couldn't help but shiver. Now the ruthless pool water is also poison for himself.
"She may have something in mind, but she didn't say anything, she just wanted me to take good care of you. ”
Qingshui was stunned.
Xuanyuan Lang looked up at her eyes, ignoring the pain in his heart, and said in a low voice: "But I like that the eternal will always guard her." Now that her appearance has been ruined, she has the power of the demon god, and she is in danger and difficult, and I can't abandon her and ignore her. Light Water hopes you understand. ”
Qingshui looked at the fact that after a whole year of getting along, he finally loosened up, and his more and more gentle eyes were full of firmness and no regrets at this moment, knowing that his mind had been decided, he couldn't help but smile helplessly and shook his head.
"Do you know why the appearance of a thousand bones is ruined? It is the ruthless pool of Changliu Mountain, the thicker the water, the worse the injury. Thousand bones can be injured like that, which shows how deeply she loves. Even if she likes someone else, don't you care at all?"
A burst of surprise and pain flashed in Xuanyuan Lang's eyes, but he still shook his head slowly: "I know that the person she likes is Baizi Painting." I had already vaguely guessed it on Taibai Mountain. I just want her to be happy, and I don't care about the rest. ”
Qingshui sighed, and his eyes became more and more sad: "Okay, she doesn't care, you don't care, and I don't care." Let's wait together, and one day any of us will really come to our senses. ”
Dongfang Yuqing pushed the door in, looked at Hua Qiangu, frowned, and sat on the bed without knowing what to do.
"Dongfang, did I say the wrong thing just now?"
Dongfang Yuqing smiled incomprehensibly: "That's right, you have seen a lot more about feelings than before, but you still owe some time to deal with it." Do you think that if you disfigured Xuanyuan Lang, he would retreat? You wake him up, he will be able to face it if he knows his true intentions? If you really entrust him, he will be willing to be with Qingshui? How can emotional matters be so easy. With Xuanyuan Lang's character, it may backfire. ”
"Huh, what should I do then?" Hua Qiangu suddenly lost his master.
Dongfang Yuqing touched her head: "You can't take care of it yourself, don't worry about light water anymore." She is much more mature and stable than you, knows what she wants, and knows how to fight for it. It's not like you're stupid. Thought he had sacrificed his all and called it off?"
Hua Qiangu lowered his head: "This is the only thing I can do." Where is Dongfang Xiaoyue, when are we going to save him?"
"You're not healed yet, wait until your injury heals. ”
Hua Qiangu rolled up his sleeves: "You see it's almost healed." Let's get ready, the sooner we get him out, the better. There is not much time left, I am always frightened these days, I dream of Xiaoyue crying every night, and I don't know how much he has suffered this year. ”
Dongfang Yuqing sighed: "No matter how anxious you are, you have to wait for tomorrow, you can sleep well first." ”
"The two of us going secretly?"
"Of course, I know it's a trap, do you want to pull two more people to die together?"
"Trap?!"
"I and Kill Qianmo have tried to save him many times, plus so many people want to compete for the power of the demon god, how can there be no traps. Besides, Moyan already knew that you were back, so naturally he had set up a net and was waiting for you to save people. But even a trap is better than going around in a head-to-head battle with a few outnumbered enemies. So this time I have to break in anyway. ”
"Then you tell me where I am, I'll go alone, I have the power of the demon god, and I can run faster. ”
"Fool, how could I let you be alone in danger, not to mention that those trap formations can't be broken through with strength alone. You're so stupid and don't have me to guide you. I can handle Mo Yan and the rest of the fairy world, I'm afraid I'm afraid that Bai Zihua will do it himself......"
