Chapter 20 Sympathy is seeking death
Yue Qingru was stunned for a moment, then took advantage of Huachi Yu's distraction, struggled away with tears in her eyes, went straight to He Qing and knelt down at her legs.
"Master...fortunately, you are fine, Master..."
The other heads also came to their senses one after another, with surprise in their eyes——
There was a trace of blood on the corner of He Qing's lips, and there were blood stains on the moon-white single clothes. His face was pale, but his breath was calm, his spiritual energy was abundant and light as if nothing existed. If his cultivation had not increased significantly, it would have looked like he had successfully overcome the tribulation. .
Xuan Qingzi breathed a long sigh of relief and said, "This catastrophe is so powerful, I'm so lucky to be able to survive it safely."
He Qing felt drowsy and nodded his head sadly.
After experiencing the crisis of almost being offline early, He Qing was completely depressed——
This time she was "tortured" because she accidentally carried the thunder, but what about next time?
God, this doesn't look like a good thing.
Everyone noticed that He Qing seemed a little confused, and mistakenly thought that she was worried because she failed to overcome the tribulation.
Dao Yi waved his long sleeve: "He Qing, you are still young. There are so many people who practice Taoism in this world, but there are only a handful of them who can survive the tribulation at your age. You are already a role model for our generation. Don't be too disappointed. , being too focused on gains and losses is not conducive to cultivation.”
He Qing took a deep breath dizzily and said weakly: "I'm not disappointed." After saying that, he removed the barrier covering Gu Changnian, but did not look at him.
At this moment, He Qing didn't want to see him.
She was almost, just a little bit close, she was almost able to pull out Gu Changnian's soul and replace it with her own body, so that she could force Gu Changnian to bear all possible consequences on her behalf.
I don't know if it was because he borrowed Tiandao's sword or because he had a rare halo, but the process was incredibly smooth, as if someone was helping He Qing achieve his wish.
But she never thought that the moment when He Qing and Gu Changnian's souls merged, she could actually read Gu Changnian's heart——
When Gu Changnian entered the school, he felt like a master and a sister to the original master. He respected and admired the original master as much as Yue Qingru now treats He Qing.
After discovering that his master's relationship with him had changed and that he gradually began to be harassed, Gu Changnian went from blaming, doubting, and blaming himself at the beginning... until the original master embraced him for the first time by teaching swordsmanship. The faith in Chang Nian's heart suddenly collapsed.
In the psychological torture day after day, Gu Changnian began to hate himself, and even had the outrageous idea that "it was all his fault."
If it weren't for the support of Hua Chi Yu, it would be hard to say whether the Gu Changnian he saw when He Qing came through was still a normal person.
Even though He Qing had already read these things in the book, when she and Gu Changnian's soul merged and exchanged, Gu Changnian's experience was no longer just a background story written in the book.
Rather, it is the unbearable pain that I feel with my own body.
He Qing's heart softened for such a short moment. When she came to her senses, her body had already spontaneously protected Gu Changnian.
Opportunities are fleeting.
So He Qing's mood is very complicated now, and he feels aggrieved that he is going to kill himself.
She sighed groggily and said feebly: "Maybe I need to rest for a while..." Before she could finish her words, He Qing fell straight back.
"Master!"
"He Qing!"
Fortunately, Gu Changnian and Yue Qingru, who were closest to He Qing, held her firmly and prevented her from falling to the ground.
Seeing Chong Ying quickly step forward to check He Qing's pulse, Yue Qing said anxiously: "Master Immortal, how is my master?" Chong Ying hesitated and said: "It's okay, it's just that she was exhausted mentally and physically from going through the tribulation, so she can have a good rest. alright."
Yue Qingru was relieved and hurriedly squatted on the ground: "Thank you Immortal Master, please help my master up. I will carry him back."
Gu Changnian, on the other hand, had quick eyesight and quick hands. He directly supported He Qing and picked her up horizontally. He nodded to the heads and said, "Immortal masters, please send the master back first."
Guanyue nodded: "Okay, you can go on your own."
"Thank you, Master Immortal." After saying that, he hugged He Qing and left the peak without looking back.
When Yue Qing saw this, she had to get up quickly and chased behind her, cursing: "Master doesn't like you touching her! Just let me do it!"
Looking at the direction in which the three masters and disciples were leaving, Hua Chiyu hesitated to speak in confusion, vaguely feeling that something was strange.
Xuan Qingzi looked at Chongying for a long time, stroking his beard and asked, "You just didn't seem to understand what you said."
Chong Ying was silent for a moment and said slightly hesitantly: "Just now I checked He Qing's veins and found that her cultivation has not improved, but the spiritual energy in her body is like thick ink, filling every meridian, which feels a bit strange. "
Xuan Qingzi thought about it, and couldn't help but look at the clouds that had dispersed to only a small piece, and said, "The beam of light that comes from nowhere is really concerning. We need to investigate it clearly."
"There is also demonic energy." Chong Ying immediately reminded: "Although the demonic energy is weak, it can break through the natural barrier of Lingshan, so it cannot be an ordinary demonic cultivator. We must find it."
※
He Qing lay on the bed and fell asleep. Although he was breathing evenly, his eyebrows were still furrowed, as if even after falling asleep, his consciousness was still undergoing catastrophe.
The blood on her lips had dried. Gu Changnian held the handkerchief and stood by the bed for a long time, motionless.
Ever since he became a new disciple, Gu Changnian has never served He Qing personally. Thinking about it carefully, it was actually not that long ago.
Taking care of his master should have been something he was familiar with, but now, he was a little at a loss.
While in the Tianmu Cave, He Qing apparently realized his true intention: to take advantage of the catastrophe to destroy her Taoism.
At that moment, Gu Changnian had many expectations in his mind.
You might see shock or disappointment in He Qing's eyes. Even worse, it should be the despair of giving your feelings to someone wrong.
Among so many guesses, the only thing he didn't expect was that He Qing immediately burst out with strong murderous intent.
That was not a look that wanted to die with him, but a determination to step on his corpse and walk out of the Tianmu Cave alive.
At that moment, Gu Changnian realized very clearly that He Qing really wanted to kill him and had been holding back for a long time.
For this reason, she even risked the death of her body and soul, summoning her soul at a critical moment like the calamity, and wanted to drag out his soul to resist the natural disaster for herself.
Obviously, she was almost successful, but she never took the last step.
At the moment when the souls merged, Gu Changnian seemed to read He Qing's heart——
I want to live a good life, but he wants to get rid of the nightmare, is it wrong? No matter how much revenge he uses to make up for the hurt he has experienced, it will not be enough...
The candles burning in the room made a crackling sound, which brought Gu Changnian back from his thoughts.
He couldn't help but think deeply: The "him" He Qing was thinking of was referring to himself, right?
So, did He Qing really let go of his obsession and want to make it up to him?
