Chapter 1 If you don't bury others, you will bury yourself
(PS: The new volume is expanding, and the outline needs to be refined, so there are fewer updates today, I hope you will forgive me.) )
Qingluan has been running for a long time.
From the faint light of the sky, it is almost dusk.
In order to avoid all possible pursuits, she tried to choose to run in the jungle and mountains with a narrow field of vision.
This made Qingluan, who was already injured and had to be distracted to take care of Su Changan, in an even more difficult situation.
Five hours ago, Su Changan's soul should have returned to the sea of stars.
But Qingluan didn't play her requiem, she dragged it again and again, and the cracks on her jade flute became more and more as time went by.
Finally, they passed through a dense forest, and Qingluan's body almost fell to the ground.
Fortunately, she quickly grabbed a tree trunk beside her to stabilize her figure.
She lifted her breath, suppressed all the injuries that were rolling in her body, and then looked into the distance.
Then her eyes lit up, and there was a Taoist temple standing on a narrow road in the countryside not far away. It looks quite dilapidated, and it seems that it has not been inhabited for a long time. However, this is also the meaning of Qingluan, which can not only avoid contact with outsiders, but also rest well.
The injuries in her body are too serious, and if she doesn't take care of her life anymore, I'm afraid it will kill her. And Su Changan's condition is even more not optimistic, his injuries are serious, and his life star is shattered, if it weren't for the requiem song for a long time, I'm afraid he would have been scattered long ago, and his soul would have returned.
Luo Yuer and Hua Fei said yesterday that they went to Xiliang to find Beitongxuan to save Su Chang'an.
Qingluan didn't think it was right.
The two of them are mortal with the naked eye, and one Su Changan was just devoured by the blood of the gods, but in fact, his time has come, and heaven and earth cannot tolerate him.
Regardless of whether Bei Tongxuan can save him or not, there is one point, how far away is Chang'an to Xiliang? With Qingluan's current situation, how can it be possible to take Su Changan to such a far place without a month or two? At that time, Mo said Su Changan, I am afraid that Qingluan himself may die under the backlash of this Xingchen Pavilion.
The so-called far water can't save the near fire, this is the reason.
Thinking of this, Qingluan helped Su Changan to finally approach the Taoist temple.
As she expected, the dilapidated Taoist temples had long been empty, and even the statues of the gods that poured into the temples were dilapidated. Severed fingers and severed heads, with unknown plants growing out of the cracks in the stones.
Such a thing is not surprising.
Although the Great Wei looks strong on the surface, it is actually strong on the outside, and it has been fighting in the south and the north for many years, and it has already hollowed out the body of this behemoth. Although the people in the hinterland of the Central Plains did not have to endure the chaos of war on the border, they had to survive in the increasingly harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes imposed by the imperial court.
As a result, there will always be people who will not be able to live their lives.
But no one will just wait for death, so even in a place only a few hundred miles away from Chang'an, bandits are still rampant.
And since there is a banditry, both the Taoist temple and the people have to think of a way to leave such a place of right and wrong.
Therefore, there is also a deserted village and abandoned city in this dilapidated Taoist temple.
Of course, these are not the things that Qingluan cares about.
She found some unclean, but somewhat dry curtains, and some hay. She spread the hay on the ground and covered it with a curtain, and then put Su Changan on it carefully.
This was actually not a difficult thing to do, but Qingluan had been doing it for a long time - her injuries were already so severe that she felt as if she was going to faint at any moment.
At this moment, Su Changan, who had been unconscious, let out a violent cough, but his pale face slowly opened his eyes.
Maybe because of the return to light, his brain, which had been drowsy, was also a little more sober at the moment, and he looked at Qingluan with a happy face in front of him, and was slightly stunned.
Such a look, in the past few months together, Su Changan had never seen it on Qingluan's face.
"Where are we?" asked Su Changan. His memory is still stuck in the time when Xu Rang screamed.
Qingluan shook her head, she didn't explain too much, she knew Su Changan's current situation too well, and knowing too much would increase her annoyance.
"About two hundred miles west of Chang'an. Qingluan replied.
"West of Chang'an?" Su Changan was a little puzzled, and he was about to ask something more, but his chest hurt, and he let out a violent cough, and blood also spilled down the corners of his mouth at this time.
Qingluan panicked when she saw this, and hurriedly gave birth to her sleeves and wiped the blood from the corners of Su Changan's mouth.
"I'm going to take you to Xiliang to find Beitongxuan. Qingluan said.
"Looking for Beitongxuan?" Su Changan, who came to breathe a sigh of relief, was stunned again, he didn't quite understand why he wanted to find Beitongxuan, but compared to these, he was more worried about Luo Yu'er and Hua Fei's situation yesterday, and how Qingluan escaped from Chang'an with him.
Although he was weak, he could still see at a glance that Qingluan's condition did not seem to be optimistic.
"Luo Yu'er, they said that Beitongxuan has a way to save you, and I think it should be able to restrain the backlash of the divine blood in your body. But "Qingluan said this, and he stopped talking.
But Su Changan's most fundamental problem now is not the backlash of divine blood at all, but the shattering of his life star and the return of his soul. This is what Qingluan didn't say, she really can't bear to tell Su Changan such a fact.
"But it's too late, right?" Su Changan smiled miserably and took what Qingluan didn't say.
Qingluan's heart was shocked, and he was about to say something, but he saw Su Changan slowly stretch out his left hand.
Perhaps because of the excessive blood loss, the hand was a little pale, and there were large and small scars on it, although the bleeding had stopped and scabbed, it still looked shocking.
But these were not enough to make Qingluan feel horrified, what really made the mourner's heart tremble was that from Su Changan's fingertips, there was a little bit of starlight like broken glass, constantly dispersing in all directions.
That was Su Changan's body returning to the earth.
Qingluan subconsciously looked up at the sky, and at some point the sky had completely darkened, and the light of the blood-red star was getting weaker and weaker, like a candle flame that would be extinguished at any time.
When the star dies, the body returns to the earth, and the soul returns to the sea of stars.
This truth has remained unchanged through the ages.
Su Chang'an's time has already arrived, because Qingluan, who is a mourner, has been delayed again and again, so his physical body has not been dispersed, but now it is on the verge of collapse.
Even if she suppressed the backlash of the Star Pavilion and didn't play a requiem, she still couldn't change the fact that Su Changan was about to die.
The stars are calling to his soul, and the earth is devouring his flesh.
This is the coercion of this heaven and earth, how can she, a mourner, change it?
"Looks like I'm going to die. Su Changan said with a smile. But his face was so pale, so pale that Qingluan's heart ached faintly.
He looked at Qingluan, who looked sad and seemed to be about to cry.
He thought about it seriously.
After the divine blood receded, his realm fell, but he had his own destiny star. In this case, he should be considered a star death.
And fortunately, as one of the fierce stars, he is in a sense the same as the seven stars of Tianlan, and every one of his stars is qualified to go to the sea of stars.
He could see Mo Tingyu, Yu Heng, and Chu Xifeng there.
Thinking about it this way, he should barely be called a swordsman like them, right?
And Qingluan was crying for him, and perhaps Gu Xianjun, who was far away in the Northland, shed a few tears for him after hearing the news of his death.
This is good.
It's the same as the heroes he wrote about in the books he read.
When they die, there will always be some beautiful girls crying for them.
Su Changan didn't want them to cry so much, but it was not bad to cry for a while, at least it proved that in this world, there were still a handful of people who really cared about themselves.
As he thought so, his eyelids grew heavier.
Actually, he still didn't want to die.
He felt that he still had a lot to do, a lot of scenery to see.
But his mind also began to get foggy, and even thinking seemed to become extremely difficult.
"Requiem. He said. Qingluan has been suppressing the requiem for a long time, although he doesn't know what the consequences of doing this will be, but looking at Qingluan's current state, it won't be too easy to think about.
If death is inevitable, then why procrastinate?
What's more, if she could send him to Xinghai, he was very relieved and relieved.
But Qingluan, who had been keeping his head down, raised his head suddenly when he heard Su Changan's words.
She looked directly at Su Changan with her beautiful big eyes, staring at his eyes that had gradually lost consciousness. Then he said in a very serious, very serious tone: "No, I don't want you to die, and I won't allow you to die." ”
When Su Changan, who was dying, heard this, he shook his head with difficulty, used his last strength, and said, "Don't embarrass yourself anymore." Send me away, you promised me that you would send me when my soul returns to the sea of stars. ”
"It's good now, it's time for you to keep your promises. ”
Qingluan seemed to be deaf to Su Changan's words, and she continued to herself: "When I was in Tianlan Courtyard, I asked Ruyue what it means to like someone. ”
"She told me that when a girl falls in love with a boy, she will be unreasonable, unreasonable, and uncommitted for him. ”
"I've always been puzzled, because I think the truth must be told and the promise must be kept. Then I probably wouldn't like someone. ”
"But now I know that I like you. So, I'm sorry, I can't keep our agreement, I can't send you, I don't want you to die. ”
Qingluan didn't know if the current Su Changan could still hear her words, but she didn't care, she kissed him lightly on the lips as if she had exhausted all the courage in her life.
Then, she resolutely stood up, faced the starry sky, and took off the cracked jade flute.
Then a requiem sounded.
It's a very special requiem.
Don't send, don't bury. It's Ann.
This is a requiem that can only be played once by every mourner, the Requiem.
"If you don't bury anyone, you bury yourself. ”
This is the rule of the Star Pavilion. Rules that every mourner must follow.
