She never thought that people would miss her so much during this trip to the library at Kamigawa Peak.
The abandonment she thought she had felt no longer seemed to exist at this moment.
The upcoming future that she feared no longer seemed so scary at this moment.
Her eyes gradually became clear.
The soul line linking her and Zhou Guan once again had a tendency to become blurred and broken.
Zhou Guan frowned, the scene before him was obviously not what he wanted to see.
His divinity is still being released, and the Tianxuan City disciples who were bewitched by the divinity are also walking towards those light pillars step by step.
His redemption is about to be completed.
But he knew that as soon as the soul line between him and Yue Jian was severed, Chu Qingxiao and others would immediately attack him.
He is not afraid of death, he just finds it difficult to accept that those who he thinks need to be saved are once again trapped in the quagmire.
No matter what, he doesn't allow this to happen.
He turned to look at Tsukimi.
"Are you really ready?"
"Even if he is not your father, there are still traces of your father on his body."
"Look at him. He has my soul mark on his body. With that soul mark on his body, against my will, he needs to suffer the heart-gnawing pain of thousands of ants!"
"But just now! He saved you!"
"Can you bear to let him, who just returned to you, die in front of you like this?"
Zhou Guan had an insight into Yue Jian's thoughts and struck a direct blow to Yue Jian's vital point with one word.
Yue Jian's expression changed, and she turned her head to look at Song Guicheng beside her.
Song Guicheng, who had been transformed into a living soul, was half-kneeling on the ground with a face full of pain, as if he was suffering some great pain.
Although I already understand the origin of the other party.
But looking at that face, it looked just like what he remembered.
Thinking about everything she had spent with him these days, if he hadn't reached out to stop her just now, Yue Jian would have stepped into the pillar of light.
All kinds of thoughts came to mind, and Yue Jian's face suddenly showed hesitation.
The faces of Chu Qingxiao and others beside them also changed. If it had been a quarter of an hour ago, they could have persuaded Yue Jian without any worries. The guy in front of them was just a fake, just a devil wearing Song Guicheng's skin. They could have ignored it.
His life and death.
But now.
After witnessing the other party's act of risking his life to save Yue Jian, no one could say this, and they had no position to ask Yue Jian to personally kill a being who was so similar to his father and even had some connection with him.
The scene fell silent for a while.
The soul line connecting Yue Jian and Zhou Guan, which was about to break, also stopped breaking at this time. Instead, it had a faint tendency to become stronger again because of Yue Jian's hesitation.
Tsukimi lowered his head.
Her body was shaking a little.
She knows what decisions are right.
But the right thing is sometimes not what she wants.
She will make that decision, but she needs some time to accept the reality.
It has nothing to do with being smart or not.
Just for people.
Losing what you have again.
What is needed is great courage.
Chu Qingxiao and others looked at her. They did not rush her. They knew Yue Jian would make a decision before that terrible thing happened.
They just wanted to face it with her, but they didn't know how to help her.
Zhou Guan also looked at Yue Jian, his face was ferocious and his eyes were burning.
But deep in his pupils, there was a flash of strange color at this moment.
But at this moment, a hand suddenly placed on Yue Jian's shoulder.
Yue Jian turned around and looked at the owner of that hand.
It's Song Guicheng.
It was Song Guicheng who was not Song Guicheng.
He looked at her with a smile.
Just like every time when she was a child, she was wronged and squatted alone in the corner and cried like a cat.
He always reached out and patted her on the shoulder, putting on his rough face a gentle smile that was not pretty, but he tried his best.
"It's okay." The man said.
Just like every time when I was a kid.
"I'm sorry." Then, an apologetic look appeared on his face: "I'm not him."
"I..." His tone was bitter.
"I thought I was..."
"I thought I fulfilled my promise, I thought I came back alive and found you."
"But I'm sorry, I'm not him..."
He spoke very slowly, and it was extremely difficult to pronounce every word.
Not only because the soul mark planted in his body was constantly tormenting him, but also because he was not him, a fact that he had never thought about.
But he still tried hard to accept something that is difficult for ordinary people to accept.
He has to save her.
Even if he is just a spirit body born from the breath left by that person.
But even if there are only remaining memories and fragments, those things that make up him, every inch of memory, every breath, tell him how much he loves her.
Even if he is not him.
But the love that was engraved into his soul still moved him.
It still makes him willing to be him for a short time at this moment.
Yue Jian looked at the man in front of her in disbelief, her eyes widened, her eyes red, and tears welling up in her eyes.
"Daddy." she called.
At this moment, she felt that he was him.
And this title made the man's body tremble.
When he learned the truth, he tried hard to calm down.
Deep down in his heart, he kept asking himself, what on earth is he who has the memory of Song Guicheng but is not Song Guicheng?
A tool?
A driven puppet?
Or maybe it's just an object.
But now, with Yue Jian’s call.
Men feel that everything doesn't seem so important anymore.
At least at this moment, he had her approval.
At least for this moment, he could be him for a short time.
so.
He has to fulfill his self-responsibility.
He looked at Yue Jian and said.
"I don't know why he didn't come back, and I don't know what he went through in the twelve years he left you."
"But I can feel it."
"He loves you very much."
"I can guarantee this."
"Even if there is only a slight chance, he will return to you across thousands of mountains and rivers."
"He loves you so much."
"Use all your strength."
"His love will always be around you."
"It will not be eliminated by life and death, nor will it fade with time."
"Even today, twelve years later, I can still feel the love that spans time and life and death through the traces he left."
"You are never alone."
"Not now, not ever."
"so……"
Song Guicheng laughed at this moment, and that smile was so gentle that it seemed like it could melt all the ice in the world.
"Live well."
"Okay?"
At that moment, whether it was Chu Qingxiao or Yue Jian, it seemed as if he really saw the Song Commander in the Xizhou Sword Armor walking through the wind and snow to reach this sword.
Through the mouth of this living soul, the words that have never been spoken to Yue Jian are spoken one by one.
The tears in Yue Jian's eyes could no longer be contained at that time.
The tears fell down her cheeks as if they were broken.
With tears in her eyes, she wanted to respond to him.
But when the words reached his throat, it seemed as if something was blocking him, and all he could say was a choked cry, with no sound coming out.
She could only suppress the sobs in her throat and try her best to nod her head towards the other party.
After receiving such a response, Song Guicheng showed a satisfied smile on his face.
He turned his head to look at Chu Qingxiao and others standing aside, and glanced at them.
Then, just like when he got rid of Chu Zhaozhao in the eternal night, he said to everyone: "I leave this child to you."
After saying this, golden light overflowed from his whole body. Those lights surged towards Yue Jian. They were the auras of Song Guicheng's soul left around Yue Jian. The living soul in front of him became Song Guicheng because of these auras.
City, and now, he returned these to Tsukimi.
He knew that it would be very difficult for Yue Jian to destroy him with her own hands, so he chose to help her do it.
This was the last thing he could do to help his daughter as Song Guicheng.
As those golden things dispersed from his body, his facial features gradually became blurred and his figure began to sway, like a candlelight that might disperse at any time in the night wind.
Yue Jian saw this scene in her eyes, and tears welled up in her eyes more and more violently, but she did not stop it.
She just looked at Song Guicheng in front of her, gradually blurring and disappearing into nothingness.
She couldn't bear it.
But she already understood.
The false past cannot change anything. If you want to live well and live well, you have to face the cruel reality.
This is the expectation of those tribesmen who died for her, and it is also the wish of her father.
She no longer runs away.
Even though this made people sad and breathless, she still decided to face it all.
Finally, the golden light completely dissipated and poured into her body.
It wasn't something wrapped in power, it was just the aura left by his father on her body.
Not special.
But at this moment, Yue Jian, wrapped in those golden lights, felt warm.
Just like Shenghun said.
He loves her so much.
Even if Yin and Yang are separated, even if the years go by.
This love has never disappeared, but she never knew it or felt it before.
Thinking of this, she raised her head, looked at the living soul that had turned into a blurry shadow, and said sincerely to him: "Thank you."
I don't know if it was Yue Jian's illusion. The living soul that had lost the aura of Song Guicheng should have turned into an ignorant and indifferent body at this moment, but the soul at that time seemed to be slightly nodding towards Yue Jian.
Then, he turned into a stream of blue smoke and poured into the All Souls Box beside him.
bump.
And as this scene happened, the soul line connecting Yue Jian and Zhou Guan Zhi Jian made a soft sound.
The soul line is broken.
The thing that bothered everyone was gone.
Zhou Guan's expression suddenly changed.
He wanted to say something, but before the words came out of his mouth, Lu Sandao's lips revealed a sinister smile.
I saw a snow-white sword light shining on her waist, the sword glowing like a torch, lighting up the night.
Zhou Guan's body was immediately submerged in the bright light of the sword and melted in an instant.
After getting familiar with it, the majestic sword intent in the room dispersed, and everyone looked at it.
I just saw the room door.
Zhou Guan's body disappeared, leaving only a golden crystal floating in the air, and a purple stream of light flashed across the surface of the golden crystal from time to time.
That is the essence of Zhou Guan.
The appearance of this object also confirmed that Zhou Guan had died under Lu Sandao's sword.
All the dust has settled.
Yuejian was saved, and with the death of Zhou Guan, the disciples in Tianxuan City who were bewitched by Zhou Guan also woke up one after another.
The purple aura lingering in the sky over Tianxuan City also dissipated immediately. The common people and companions who woke up told what they had just experienced, and such weird things would naturally spread from ten to one, and from hundreds to thousands.
Naturally, some people with insight will soon realize that the strange situation in Tianxuan City tonight must be related to the external gods.
Under such changes, Tianxuan City is destined to have a sleepless night.
…
"Tianxuan Mountain is known as the best swordsman in the world."
"But there was such an alien god who lurked in Tianxuan City for a year and killed more than ten people. In the end, it almost caused a catastrophe that killed hundreds of people."
"If this matter reaches the imperial court, I'm afraid Supervisor Tiansi will criticize you."
Bai Yu returned to a small courtyard beside the street.
Xu Dangren hugged a long sword and lay on the wicker chair. The wicker chair swayed leisurely. He half-squinted his eyes with a contented expression, and his body swayed slightly with the rocking of the wicker chair.
At this moment, a voice suddenly came from behind him.
An old man in red came to his side and said this.
The arrival of the old man in red was very unexpected.
Like a ghost, he suddenly appeared beside Xu Dangren.
But Xu Dangren was not surprised at all, he just took over the words slowly.
"After the last bird was shot down, Gong still thought that he would be placed in the most conspicuous place in his master's house, hung high, and admired by others. Little did he know that what was waiting for him would be a fate hidden in the snow.
.”
"The hound that killed the last hare was still wagging its tail to claim credit from its master, thinking that he would be able to get some bones tonight. Little did he know that his master was already secretly thinking about how to cook it."
"There are all kinds of smart people in this world."
"But idiots are always the same."
"I'm in jail, but I don't know it. I'm still thinking about showing off my power."
After hearing this, the old man in red next to him paled. He looked up at Tianxuan Mountain in the night. After all, he couldn't help it and sighed at this moment.
As if sensing the somewhat lonely aura of the person next to him, Xu Dangren turned his head towards the other person and asked, "What? You can't bear to leave this Tianxuan Mountain?"
Hearing this, the old man in red sighed again, and said with some sigh: "After all, I have lived here for so many years, just like my own child. No matter how naughty he is, in the eyes of others, he will be so heinous, even if you yourself
You also know that he does deserve to die, but when that day comes, you will still be sad and reluctant to give up."
Xu Dangren frowned, he didn't like the dull atmosphere.
So he decided not to continue this topic and instead asked: "If you don't stay on your Shenhe Peak, what are you doing here in Tianxuan City?"
The old man in red also turned his head to look at Xu Dangren and said: "She was a little angry about the news that Sandao gave me, because you..."
"I? The old man is blind, his legs and feet are weak, and most of his body has been buried in the ground. How can this person still hold a grudge?" Xu Dangren asked, seeming a little surprised.
The old man in red was a little dissatisfied with Xu Dangren's care. He said: "That child is Song Guicheng's daughter. She has been with you for so many years. You have watched her bewitched by an outside god.
In danger."
"Do you still have the heart to sit here and drink tea?"
"Are you seriously not worried about her safety at all?"
Such a question made Xu Dangren pause slightly as he raised the teapot and put the spout to his mouth. The next moment, he said calmly: "Children and grandchildren will have their own blessings."
"When the old man reaches this age, he can't take care of himself, so how can he take care of her for the rest of his life?"
After hearing this, the old man in red looked straight at the blind old man in front of him. His eyes swept over the other man's body, and finally landed on the sword in his arms.
At that moment, his eyes became a little complicated: "In order to take revenge, you have really reached the point where you will do anything you can..."
Xu Dangren was silent for a while, and then he put the tea into his mouth and took a sip, and then said: "There are always people who need to be responsible for their deaths. There is no reason to let them die in vain."
The old man in red heard the determination in Xu Dangren's tone.
He was actually a little worried deep down in his heart.
Hatred is the most terrifying thing in this matter.
It can destroy beauty and distort it.
But he understood better that he was in no position to persuade the person in front of him to let go of his hatred.
Such hatred for the death of the clan.
Bone erosion and heart piercing.
Engraved into every inch of flesh and blood.
Every moment and every breath tortures those who are lucky enough to survive.
Therefore, even if the blind old man in front of him does anything shocking for revenge, it is reasonable.
but……
He still doesn't like this very much.
"How sure are you?" he asked.
"Thirty percent." Xu Dangren responded.
"Kill him, what happens next? What will happen to the Tianxian Division? The guy you are interested in seems to have no intention of taking over the Tianxian Division. Can you bear to watch the Tianxuan Division completely disappear like this?" He asked again.
Xu Dangren glanced sideways at the old man in red and said, "He will be willing."
The old man in red frowned, a little puzzled: "I don't understand why you are so sure. If it were me who would be in trouble like this..."
"He is the person appointed by the First Lord in the prophecy, and the First Lord's words have never been wrong..."
The old man in red looked a little strange when he heard this.
The first person in the mouth of the old man was the previous Chief Commander of the Tianxun Division, who was also the person in charge of the Tianxun Division.
He couldn't help but mutter: "That guy's surname is also Chu. Do you think that Chu Qingxiao is his son?"
"A son inherits his father's legacy? Since when did our Tiantian Division also have a tradition of hereditary inheritance?"
…
Everything that happened today made everyone somewhat exhausted, but fortunately, they finally solved the trouble and rescued Yue Jian.
Probably because of being controlled by external gods one after another, Yue Jian fainted after being rescued.
Chu Zhaozhao and Ziyu took Yue Jian to the hospital immediately. Although it was probably just some mental strain and nothing serious, they all felt that it would be safest to see the doctor.
As for Zhou Guan, the matter of the foreign god caused such a big commotion, and they recently overstepped their authority and consulted the files of Qinghuan Mansion, these matters must be explained to the Sword Master Hall and Tianxuan Mountain after all.
At the same time, people from the sword-wielding hall happened to arrive, and Lu Sandao took the Meng family siblings to deal with the questioning from the sword-wielding hall.
With Lu Sandao's signature here, there won't be any big problems.
Chu Qingxiao, Sanniang and Liaoyuan stayed behind to deal with the remnants of the foreign gods.
"He released a lot of divinity at the last moment. There is not much divinity left in this marrow. Otherwise, if it were the complete marrow, it would be of great benefit to Qingxiao." Sanniang looked at the divinity in Chu Qingxiao's hand.
Sui said this with a bit of regret in his tone.
Chu Qingxiao frowned and stared at the divine essence, but did not respond to Sanniang's words.
Seeing him like this, Sanniang couldn't help but feel a little strange: "Qingxiao! Qingxiao! What's wrong with you?"
When Chu Qingxiao heard the sound, he turned around and looked at Sanniang as if he had woken up from a dream. After meeting the other party's concerned eyes, Chu Qingxiao immediately said: "I just think something is wrong."
"What's wrong?" Sanniang asked.
Chu Qingxiao said: "Zhou Guan is the mastermind behind the Ten Uncensored Cases today."
"He looks for the right person to carry out his so-called redemption by posting tasks on the command post."
"But the commission file of Qinghuan Mansion was entered by the person who issued the mission. He could issue more than ten commissions in succession for more than a year without being discovered. Then why not list these commissions in the dossier?
The traces have been erased? With his status as an internal member of Qinghuan Mansion, this shouldn’t be difficult..."
Sanniang was stunned when she heard this, but she also realized that there was something wrong with it. She frowned and said: "Maybe it's because he is too confident and thinks no one will notice..."
"And as a murderer, Meng Yuan is his first victim. If he wants to clear away the suspicion, he doesn't need to leave any intentionally guiding confessions in his confession... So Meng Yuan doesn't have any familiarity with anyone in Tianxuan City.
The person's condition is ugly. If he doesn't report the case, even if it takes a month or two, no one will know that Meng Yuan is missing."
"His actions always make me feel that they are superfluous."
Sanniang couldn't understand the weirdness and could only say: "This guy looks like a madman. His thoughts probably cannot be judged by common sense. Moreover, the evidence that he is the murderer is conclusive and we have all seen it."
Yes, Qingxiao, don’t think too much about it.”
When Chu Qingxiao heard this, he was silent for a while and then nodded.
"Sister is right, the result will be good after all."
After he said this, he took another look at the sacred essence in his hand that was worth thousands of gold.
Then he handed it to Sanniang without any hesitation.
Sanniang's face changed slightly when she saw this: "Qingxiao, what are you..."
Chu Qingxiao smiled and said: "My cultivation is about to reach the fourth realm. I have gained a lot in the library these days. There are still about ten days before the inner sect selection. I want to plan my future carefully in these days.
For me, the cultivation technique is just the icing on the cake for me to break through the realm again. However, Sanniang sister’s soul is a mortal body, and her entry into the divine pillar is a coincidence, with insufficient foundation. This sacred marrow is of great significance to Sanniang sister.
Generally speaking, it has the effect of strengthening the foundation.”
"But this thing is precious..." Sanniang hesitated.
"Sister and I are now one body. We are both prosperous and devastated. My sister's combat power has improved, which is also helpful to me. Sister Sanniang doesn't have to postpone it." Chu Qingxiao saw Sanniang's thoughts and said it.
It blocked Sanniang’s path of advancement and retreat.
Sanniang was stunned, but she also understood that what Chu Qingxiao said did make sense.
She thought for a while, then nodded, stretched out her hand and took the marrow calmly.
Then, she blinked her eyes and gave Chu Qingxiao a charming look: "That's fine. When I get better, sister, you can eat soft food, but it will be a little harder."
"..." Chu Qingxiao was speechless for a moment, not knowing how to respond.
He scratched his head in embarrassment and picked up another thing from the ground, the universal box containing the living soul.
"How should I deal with this thing?" Chu Qingxiao asked with some embarrassment.
Judging from the performance of the soul in the end, it seems that this box of spirits is not a completely evil monster. It is obviously inappropriate to destroy it like this.
But how to deal with him, Chu Qingxiao couldn't help but have some difficulties.
"Keep it with you for now. Maybe it will be useful in the future, or maybe the soul inside will give birth to its own intelligence one day. Anyway, I think its nature is not bad," Sanniang said.
Chu Qingxiao also nodded, feeling that Sanniang's suggestion was a good one.
With this matter settled, most of the trouble caused by this foreign god has been solved.
Sanniang was determined to absorb the divine essence as soon as possible and entered Chu Qingxiao's body first. Seeing that she had nothing to do, Liaoyuan simply dispersed.
Chu Qingxiao was the only one left in this small courtyard.
Chu Qingxiao picked up the All Souls Box and was about to leave.
But the moment he stood up, he seemed to suddenly think of something and stopped what he was doing.
He lowered his head and looked at the wooden box in his hand.
According to Sanniang, there is a special material outside the All Souls Box. As long as you have a thought in your heart, you can touch the All Souls Box.
The All Souls Box will absorb the traces left on you by the person you miss most.
As long as that person really exists, he will really leave traces on you.
Those traces will use the living soul as a carrier to present the people in your memory in front of you.
Chu Qingxiao...
I want to meet Chu Yueshan.
He actually missed him too.
Although it was fake, Chu Qingxiao would still feel happy if he could see him appear in front of him, even if he just smiled stupidly at himself.
Such thoughts together are like dropping a stone in the mirror lake, the ripples spread out layer by layer and can no longer be reduced.
Chu Qingxiao's body was trembling, and he felt that something was wrong with this.
But he still couldn't suppress the longing that filled his heart at this moment.
His hand slowly stretched out, and finally pressed it on the wooden box of the All Souls Box in the next moment.
He thought that soon he would see his father's honest and honest appearance emerge again.
But after Chu Qingxiao waited for a long time, there was nothing unusual about the Wanling Box, and the figure he had longed for did not appear in front of him.
Chu Qingxiao was stunned for a moment, blinked his eyes, looked at the empty place in front of him, and finally came to his senses.
"It's probably broken..."
"Perhaps some method is needed to stimulate it."
Chu Qingxiao thought like this, and soon finally calmed down from his ridiculous thoughts.
"You're still advising others to meet each other on a monthly basis! I'm not a virtuous person, but luckily I'm a bad one." Chu Qingxiao muttered.
It's easy to meet him once, but once he actually meets him, how can he be willing to let the person who is exactly like his father leave?
Some things are like this, once you start, you will become addicted.
Fortunately, this magic box didn't work for some reason.
When Chu Qingxiao woke up, he was frightened for a while. He breathed a long sigh of relief and drove out the absurd thoughts in his heart.
Then he withdrew his gaze from the All Souls Box, put it in his arms, and finally took steps to leave the place.
