First there was white everywhere, then boundless black, and then red that caught the eye and penetrated deep into the soul.
When Hai Dongqing felt that he was about to lose consciousness, he grabbed her with one hand, pulled her out of the mud, and dragged her to the shore.
"She's not dead, is she? I think her face is pale."
Hai Dongqing vaguely heard Liu Banxian's worried inquiry.
Then came Ren Qi's cold response.
"Don't worry, she just suffered internal injuries and was soaked in the water for too long. She won't die yet. And I've been in Da Nei for so many years. If I don't tell a person to die, he won't die no matter what. Dare to die.”
[Are you so interested? 】
As soon as Hai Dongqing had such a question in her mind, she felt a sudden heavy blow to her chest. The pain made her almost bend like a shrimp, and she spat out a mouthful of mud mixed with saliva from her mouth.
"How about it, I said, unless I kill, others will not die even if they want to."
Ren Qi ignored Hai Dongqing who was coughing, but coldly picked up the rag on the side and wiped the stains on his hands.
Hai Dongqing's facial features were almost squeezed together because of this heavy punch. She covered her heart and cursed: "Son of a bitch, do you want to save me or kill me?"
"You can't say that, little brother Hai Dongqing."
Liu Banxian wanted to be the peacemaker and comfort Hai Dongqing with a few words, but when he thought about the current situation, he couldn't muster the energy and could only sigh and sit back.
His body was also covered with mud at this time, and he looked miserable.
"What happened?"
Hai Dongqing finally came to his senses and looked at the strange scene in front of him, confused for a moment.
"Nothing."
Liu Banxian took out a cigarette from his pocket, but the cigarette box had been filled with mud, which had softened the cigarette.
He took out one, put it in his mouth and bit it, and the red mud was squeezed out of the cigarette holder.
Even so, Liu Banxian still did not intend to throw away the cigarette, as it seemed that it was the only one that could give him comfort at this time.
"It's nothing... but everyone is dead..." Liu Banxian said.
"What does it mean that everyone..."
As soon as Hai Dongqing finished speaking, she found that the place was empty. Only she, Liu Banxian, and Ren Qi were left. As for the others...
She glanced at the side and saw the corpses of the victims floating above. The original fresh and passionate life had all disappeared, leaving only pale bodies stained by mud.
The white clothes that represented the White Lotus Sect had turned into blood.
Hai Dongqing could not be said to know these people, and could even be said to be enemies to a certain extent. However, seeing these people who were still alive before die now, she couldn't help but feel a real sadness.
After hesitating for a long time, Hai Dongqing still timidly asked: "Where are Yin Xiu and Ma Xiaoyu?"
Liu Banxian did not answer her, but took out the paper figures representing Ma Xiaoyu and Yin Xiu from his pocket. The two paper figures were now stained with a faint layer of blood.
"What does this mean?"
Even though he already felt something was wrong, Hai Dongqing still had the courage to ask him.
"It means that your life is hanging by a thread."
Liu Banxian sighed, "Brother Yin and Miss Ma are probably in danger. Not to mention the danger, they are already a candle in the wind."
"Then what should we do? Let's think of a solution!"
Hai Dongqing became anxious, "We have a great swordsman in the synaesthesia realm here and a Feng Shui master who is famous in Kyushu. Are we just here to watch the two of them die? Think of a way!"
< br>
"Stop arguing!"
Ren Qiyi cut off a stone pillar in front of him with his sword, and watched as the thick pillar fell into the blood.
However, his sword was not so much to stop Hai Dongqing from continuing to speak, but rather to vent the anger in his heart due to his powerlessness.
Hai Dongqing looked at the cold-faced Ren Qi, then at the depressed Liu Banxian, and finally understood that there was nothing more they could do.
"I'm sorry."
Liu Banxian said dejectedly: "I have no choice. Even if I use all the Feng Shui Kanyu techniques passed down by the Liu family, I will never be able to fight against the immortal."
At this time, he threw away the Feng Shui atlas and Bagua compass, looking like a frustrated little old man instead of a Feng Shui master.
"We have nothing to rely on anymore, brother Hai Dongqing." Liu Banxian murmured.
Haidong Qingling was there, and I suddenly felt like I was back to that snowy night many years ago.
Her father, Hai Shu, a well-known hunter from all over the country, died on that extremely cold snowy night.
At that time, Hai Dongqing was just hiding in the straw pile, watching Hai Shu being beaten to death by the village landlord and his men, while the security chief was smoking leaf cigarettes, squinting his eyes slightly, as if looking at people. It's like killing a wild dog.
Hai Dongqing didn't make a sound. He dug his teeth into the back of his hand, taking everything in his eyes and remembering it in his heart.
After his father died completely, Hai Dongqing secretly climbed out of the window and hid in the forest before the people burned down the house.
Two years passed after this incident. She survived in the mountains and made herself strong, alert and calm. Finally, she returned to the village to take revenge. On the same cold snowy night, she used an arrow to Crucify those enemies one by one in the snow.
However, even though the great revenge has been avenged, Hai Dongqing still often thinks of that night. At that time, she was as powerless as Liu Banxian at this time.
Thinking of this, Hai Dongqing's hot tears welled up from his eyes, sliding down his delicate face to his chin, and finally dripped to the ground.
She grabbed Liu Banxian's hands and sobbed: "You are me, Liu Banxian! You are myself when I was a child!"
Liu Banxian, who was sitting on the ground, looked up. A hot tear from Hai Dongqing fell on his sunglasses, causing Liu Banxian's vision to blur.
"Hai, Haidongqing..." Liu Banxian's voice was full of trembling.
"Why don't we take a gamble!"
Hai Dongqing looked determined. These tears did not mean that she was weak or frustrated, but revealed another kind of determination, the edge hidden under the softness.
"What to bet on?"
Liu Banxian was stunned for a moment, although he had no idea what Hai Dongqing wanted to do or say.
But looking at Hai Dongqing's expression at this time, Liu Banxian couldn't help but feel confident, just because in countless desperate situations before, Liu Banxian came back to life by creating miracles in the impossible again and again.
Hai Dongqing smiled, his expression looked a little naughty, and his red eyes were full of light.
"Since both earth souls and human souls can become immortals, it makes no sense. As the heavenly soul among the three souls of heaven, earth and man, I will be just a mortal, right? And am I not the famous Taibai Shenjun? The authority of Changbai Mountain, the Eight Peaks Master, I should be able to do the same thing as them, right?”
"Yes, but..."
Liu Banxian's face was full of hesitation, "But you are Hai Dongqing, and you only think that you are Hai Dongqing and want to be an Orion and not be a Taibai Shenjun, right? This is your persistence and wish all along. Do you want to Be a mortal, not a god.”
"That's what I've always thought."
Hai Dongqing sighed, but there was not much frustration or disappointment on his face. "But things in the world are not what I want. I hope that I am a boy who can take over my father's hunting bow and conquer the mountains and forests. But I am a girl, and my birth killed my mother.
I hope my father can live well, but he was still beaten to death in front of me.
I hope I can save and help some people, but often I can't save myself. ”
"It's not your fault." Ren Qi said suddenly.
Hai Dongqing glanced at him gratefully, with some surprise, as if he had never thought that this cold swordsman would one day speak for him.
"Of course I know it's not my fault, but if a person doesn't make a mistake, won't he suffer any hardships and punishments?
A farmer just works hard in the fields, immersing himself in the fields for nine months of the year, and doing odd jobs for the remaining three months. He has never had a full meal since he was born, so he has become used to it later. Hungry and not knowing what food and clothing are.
But for such a person, a simple and honest person who does not dare to ask for anything extravagant, bandits will rob him, soldiers will kill him, natural disasters, famine, everything will destroy him, take away everything from him, and call him Displaced and displaced, half of life is painful.
What mistake did he make? He made no mistake at all, so wasn't he still punished? ”
"This is destiny."
Liu Banxian gritted his teeth: "This is a damn fate. The fate of an individual, the rise and fall of the family, and the fate of the country. When combined together, it is the fate of one person or the fate of a group of people.
Destiny, the prison in this world, is so strong and narrow that we can’t breathe! ”
Hai Dongqing held Liu Banxian's palm tightly with both hands and said softly: "You, what you and Yin Xiu are doing, aren't they trying to reverse and change this fate? To completely crush everyone's painful and sad fate. ?
Now, let me help you and make some contributions, or in other words, be a stepping stone for Yin Xiu and a pioneer to open the way for you. ”
Hai Dongqing let go of one hand and took off the broken animal skin hat on his head, letting his waterfall-like black hair hang down to his shoulders.
"Liu Banxian, if it were you, you would have something to do, right? Ask me to become Lord Taibai again."
"That way you will disappear completely, Hai Dongqing."
Liu Banxian's hands were cold and stiff. Even though Hai Dongqing was trying to warm him with her body temperature, Liu Banxian still felt cold in his hands and breathless in his chest, as if all the blood in his body had solidified.
"The heavenly soul is different from the human soul and the earthly soul. After death, the heavenly soul returns to heaven. It is the only one among the three souls that does not have self-awareness.
If you give up your identity as Hai Dongqing and become Lord Taibai, all your memories, things about us, and even your existence as Hai Dongqing will disappear.
You will be completely replaced by Lord Taibai. There will be no one like you in the world. You will not even have the chance to be reincarnated. You will disappear completely without a trace. ”
"No, I won't disappear."
Hai Dongqing smiled, looked at Liu Banxian, and then at Ren Qi.
"I remember it was said in a martial arts novel that a person's complete death is when everyone forgets him.
You won't forget me, right? Because you are not such a heartless person, and I am not a mediocre person who is too indifferent to leave any traces, right?
As long as you remember me, I will not disappear, but will continue to exist. ”
"I will, of course I will remember it, I'm not really as heartless as I say."
Liu Banxian's eyes were filled with tears and runny nose. At such an old age, this was the first time he had been so emotional. Even when his ancestral home was taken away by his creditors, he never shed a single tear.
Ren Qi said nothing, still with a cold face. He just held his hand on the hilt of the sword and squeezed the sword in his hand to make a sound.
"Isn't this enough?"
Hai Dongqing smiled.
"This can be regarded as my acceptance of my fate. I gave up the fight in exchange for the opportunity for you, Yin Xiu and Ma Xiaoyu to fight. Isn't it also very good?
Speaking of which, this is probably my cause and effect. There is nothing to regret, because I was born to grow white incense, right?
It was only then that I realized what incense meant. It was the spark, the point of fire that revived the ashes and reborn the flame.
The sun has set in the west, but the bonfire has not been lit.
The Changbai Mountains have been silent in the darkness for too long, like a pile of soaked firewood piled in a dark room. It is time to rekindle it and let it illuminate this night of ignorance. ”
"The sun has set in the west, but the bonfire has not been lit."
Liu Banxian repeated this sentence and understood Hai Dongqing's determination from what he just said.
He knew that what he should do at this time was to help Hai Dongqing realize this wish. This was the last way to save Yin Xiu and Ma Xiaoyu, save themselves, and even save the world and Hai Dongqing.
"Taiding and Kui Qingshan, they are evil spirits who bring destruction, and Hai Dongqing, you are the messenger who brings new life to all things and opens up a new path."
Liu Banxian got up from the ground and patted his butt. However, the mud on his pants only changed positions and did not fall.
He turned his head and glanced at Ren Qi.
Ren Qi's face was as calm as ice, but there was a blazing fire in his eyes, ready to go, like a tiger that had been lurking in the forest for a long time, hungry for a long time, waiting for its prey to appear.
"Brother Gao Shou, can I borrow your blood?" Liu Banxian asked.
"Even if you want my life, I won't even blink an eye."
Ren Qi pushed the sword out, and the red sword was covered with cold light.
"That's not a big deal. Keep your life for now. There are other uses for it."
After a pause, Liu Banxian said solemnly: "Hai Dongqing has to leave first, and we have to survive and help her finish the remaining things and finish the unfinished road."
Hai Dongqing smiled: "You guys work harder than me."
"It's all the same."
Liu Banxian nodded to her, "Goodbye."
"Goodbye."
"The Supreme Lord is as urgent as the law, return to your position!"
Ren Qili sword was unsheathed, and a trace of blood spurted out from his wrist.
Liu Banxian tapped his finger on Hai Dongqing's forehead.
On the ice field, in an extremely familiar dream, Hai Dongqing once again fell into the cold pool of ten thousand years. The woman in white whose face could not be seen clearly opened her hands towards her.
This time, Hai Dongqing did not resist, and she opened her arms towards the woman.
In the sparkling light, Hai Dongqing finally saw the woman's face clearly this time.
It turned out that the woman had exactly the same face, eyes, nose, and lips as hers.
Hai Dongqing often heard her father say that Hai Dongqing's face was no different from her mother's.
When he thought of this, Hai Dongqing's face was filled with a smile, and a joyful, joyful and peaceful feeling of seeing each other again after a long separation rippled in the ice lake.
I am coming. (End of chapter)
