Chapter 11: The Heart Knot

As soon as the Gu family's affairs came to an end, Situ Yan settled "Ling Huayin" in the inn, and removed the barrier outside the town, so that the dark clouds that shrouded the town were completely dispersed, and the long-lost moonlight finally shone on this land.

Back at the inn, "Ling Huayin" was still asleep, and Situ Yan injected some new spiritual power into her, which made her wake up.

"Where's Eluo?" Ling Huayin quickly returned to her distracted body, because she had just temporarily cut off contact with them, and she saw that there was no Eluo in the room, so she asked.

"Eluo didn't worry about those demons, so he went to Xianze Palace to take a look. ”

Ling Huayin understood, "After all, those demons are not yet adults, and they have been raised by humans, so this incident is not all their fault. Situ Yan, do you think that except for Gu Nian, the Gu family is innocent?"

"I don't know about the others, but Gu Nian's mother should be an insider. Situ Yan carefully stroked the body of the instrument, his fingers slender and clean.

"Then why don't you tell the people of Xianze Palace?" Ling Huayin tilted her head and looked at him with some puzzlement.

Situ Yan smiled at her gently, "She just feels sorry for her son, at least she hasn't directly harmed anyone, and if she loses her son, she can be regarded as punished." Immortals make mistakes, let alone people. ”

"Immortals also make mistakes...... Ling Huayin murmured in a low voice as if she was touched, and then turned to Situ Yan: "You are also an immortal, what about you? Have you made mistakes in your life?"

Situ Yan thought for a while and said, "I've lived for a long time, and it's hard to remember the things before, but I think I'm not a perfect person, and I should have made mistakes." ”

Ling Huayin walked to the window, her back was a little lonely outlined by the night, and she only heard her say: "It's good that I can't remember the mistakes I made." It's a pity that there are still many people in this world who are burdened with sins for the mistakes they have made, and they don't even have a chance to mend their ways......"

Situ Yan put down the piano in his hand, his face was solemn, and he sighed helplessly: "Linghua, it's not a good thing to be too attached to the past. How can a man be a saint or a sage?"

Ling Huayin turned around, bowed her head and was silent for a while, and then said, "If you had been trapped in the same situation as me because you made a mistake, you probably wouldn't have said that. I think you've been to Xianze Palace, and you've probably heard some rumors about how I became this sword elder. ”

"What other people say doesn't really matter to me. Linghua can not care about the identity of the girl Oro to protect her, which shows that Linghua is a person who attaches great importance to love and righteousness, how could he trap his master in injustice for the position of an elder. As for the past, let it dissipate over time. I don't think Hengwei wants Linghua to be stuck in the past all the time, as a friend, I also hope that Linghua can let go of the past. ”

Hearing Situ Yan's sincere persuasion, Ling Huayin smiled helplessly.

"Thank you for your reassurance, but I don't really care what other people think of me. But it wasn't what you thought it would be. ”

"Could it be that Hengwei's death has another hidden meaning?"

"Decades ago, the demon army invaded Zhonghuang Mountain, and the leader stole the Great Wilderness Map, and only my master and I went to pursue it with a few disciples. ”

Situ Yan straightened his body and asked tentatively: "Isn't it true that the Demon Emperor Jiuxiao is making a comeback as rumored by the outside world?"

"No, it's just that the demon army at that time was huge, and everyone thought that Jiuxiao was back. Only I saw his face when I was fighting, he was my former senior brother in Dongling Mountain, when he lost his mind, he knocked me down from the air, and my master was injured by him in order to save me. Originally, I could have subdued him with the strength of my master and me, but I hesitated for a while, so he broke through the formation that my master and I had set together, and the master also tried to protect me from being eaten by the magic circle, and never woke up. The Great Wilderness Map has been lost, those disciples are dead, I voluntarily went back to Xianze Palace to ask for guilt, and thought about it in the Great Wilderness Mountain, and I can no longer step out of the barrier of Zhonghuang Mountain in this life. Ling Huayin said slowly, and then told Situ Yan, "Back then, the elders thought that I was careless and wrong, but they didn't know the truth, and my senior brother was deliberately let go. At that time, I was the first to catch up with him, and he said that there was a very important person in the Great Wilderness Map, and he must rescue her. ”

Ling Huayin slowly recalled the scene at that time, and fell into confusion and confusion, "Is it important enough to be able to risk your life regardless of the righteousness?" I asked him at the time. I was angry and confused, I didn't understand how a person could become so fast. Once upon a time, we were the most important people to each other, but then I found out that he was in love with my sister, and then we fought against each other. And he told me that I would understand later, as long as I let him go. ”

"Wait, who did your senior brother save?"

"My master mentioned to me before that there is a demon spirit locked up in the Great Wilderness Map, called Lin Ge, it is said that this demon spirit wantonly killed and tortured in the world, mutilating many people from the immortal family, and Zhonghuang Mountain poured the power of the three major immortal families to seal her in the Great Wilderness Map. However, after my senior brother took away the Great Wilderness Map, he has never seen Lin Ge haunt the world. ”

Situ Yan frowned and asked, "You actually locked up such an important person, and you also let him go?"

Ling Huayin nodded, "Yes, maybe for so many years, I have been trying to figure out what Senior Brother is thinking in his heart, although I have grown up with him since I was a child and have had a friendship with him for so many years, but I found that since he liked Senior Sister, I can no longer see through him." Maybe I was unwilling, maybe I wanted to find an answer, I didn't want him to be caught, so I pretended to be invincible when the master arrived, so that he could escape. Even if the master was plotted by him, I was still helping him escape. But I didn't expect my senior brother to take advantage of my momentary soft-heartedness and kill my master. I have always regretted it for so many years, and if I could do it again, I would never let myself make such a mistake again. Although Ling Huayin's tone was very flat, there was deep remorse in her eyes.

Situ Yan sighed and said with relief: "Although I don't understand the past between you and your senior brother, but if it were me, I might hesitate when I see the old man on the opposite side of me." Many things are inevitable, Linghua, you didn't expect the consequences of things at the time, and the result was not what you wanted, and in the end, it was not entirely your fault. Saying that, he let out a long "um", touched his chin, raised his head very seriously to look at Ling Huayin, and asked, "Haven't you thought of avenging this murderer with your own hands?

"Ah, vent your anger?" Ling Huayin looked at Situ Yan in surprise.

Situ Yan smiled and asked rhetorically, "Even if your senior brother does something that hurts heaven and reason, doesn't Linghua want to kill him?"

Ling Huayin was silent for a while, and said: "After I was punished and went to the Great Wilderness Mountain to think about it, I also sent someone to find my senior brother, but the disciple of Dongling Mountain said that my senior brother defected from the sect a few years ago and took my senior sister away. The people of Xianze Palace have never found his whereabouts. ”

"Huh...... It seems that your senior brother is not a good person, so you left Dongling Mountain because of him?"

"......" Ling Huayin did not speak.

"Forget it, since Linghua doesn't want to say it, then I won't ask. By the way, what's your senior brother's name? If I meet him one day, I will definitely take this breath for Linghua, and it can be regarded as revenge for Hengwei, and then take back the great wilderness map of your Xianze Palace. Situ Yan said with a smile.

Ling Huayin didn't take Situ Yan's words too seriously, so she replied casually: "Su Yan." ”

Situ Yan bowed his head and said, "Okay, I wrote it down." After that, he touched the piano, "Don't think about these unhappy pasts, it's better to be like me, carefree and enjoy the moonlight breeze now." I saw his fingertips gently plucking on the strings, and the melodious sound of the piano suddenly sounded, like a flowing spring that can purify people's hearts.

Ling Huayin turned to look out the window, and saw that the moon seemed to be brighter than just now, and the whole town was sprinkled with a holy white veil by the clear moonlight, which looked very peaceful and peaceful. If it weren't for the Nightmare, this village would have been very lively before.

After the song, Situ Yan called out to Ling Huayin, who was standing by the windowsill: "Linghua?"

However, no one responded, Situ Yan thought that Ling Huayin had already gone back, so he relieved himself and got up and left the room.

Leaving the inn, Situ Yan walked to a remote place where no one was around, looked around for a while and stopped, only to see a golden bird flying in front of him, holding a soul-gathering grass in its mouth.

Situ Yan took the Soul Gathering Grass from the bird's beak, gently held it in the palm of his hand, and said with a smile: "Thank you, this is not a place for you to stay for a long time, go back." ”

The bird seemed to understand human speech, flapped its wings, and flew away.

Situ Yan watched the little bird leave, stared down at the Soul Gathering Grass in his hand for a long time, and then put it on his chest, and after a while, the Soul Gathering Grass was collected by him into his body.
