"Sister, please don't be like this. We have paid too much for our master. We have not betrayed her. We have even given her our lives. Isn't this enough? But what have we gained? Apart from this endless cold. "Except, we have nothing, why are you still sticking here?" She was a little excited, and her voice became louder and louder as she spoke.
"You are right, we have paid a lot for the master, but back then, this was what we were willing to do. Now that we have promised the master, we cannot go back on our words. I must guard this barrier and guard this last one for the master. Line of defense." The Guqin woman said firmly, without any hesitation and without any change in her thoughts.
Jiao Ba said in my ear at this time, "It seems that your old sweetheart can't persuade her anymore. We have to find a way on our own."
I glanced sideways at him and whispered, "Don't talk nonsense. I have nothing to do with her. I don't even know her name." This is the truth. I really don't know her name. It seems that this dark wizard, None of them have their own names.
Jiao Ba sneered, "As long as you open this ice coffin, you can know her name."
"How do you know?" I asked doubtfully.
"Every dark wizard will carve his name in the coffin after death. This is a very ancient tradition. Once they become a dark wizard, their name is no longer important. After they die, their name will be restored. ." Jiao Ba said in a low voice with deep-set eyes.
"Senior sister, if you really want to kill them, then kill me first and let my soul fly away. I really don't want to stay in this cold place." She let go of the Guqin woman's hand and slowly stepped back. One step forward.
The Guqin woman looked at her with confusion in her eyes, "Why are you forcing me so much? Could it be...are you really willing to sacrifice your soul for these irrelevant people?"
"Senior sister, this has nothing to do with them. I really don't want to stay in this cold ice city anymore. I'm fed up with such endless wandering. We have paid enough for our master. We are here for her. Even if she has great kindness to us after being guarded for hundreds of years, the loneliness over the past few hundred years is enough to offset it." She whispered, although her voice was not loud, but every word was sharp and stinging. Touching people's hearts.
The Guqin woman's eyes changed somewhat. She raised her head, looked around and said, "Yes, we have been here for hundreds of years. Logically speaking, it's enough, and the master's kindness has been repaid, but...but we Our souls have been cursed, and even if we want to let go, there is no room for turning back."
"No, you still have room to turn back. Even if your soul is cursed, you can still reincarnate. If you are willing, let me save it for you." Chang Shan took a few steps forward, stretched out his hand, and said very sincerely. .
"Sister, did you hear that? He is willing to save us. As long as you let go of all this, we can start over, leave this dark ice city, leave this endless cold." She stepped forward and grabbed the guqin. The woman's arms were a little excited as she spoke.
"I...can we really do this?" The Guqin woman looked at her, her voice even choked up. It seemed that she had been persuaded, and it seemed that things were developing for the better.
"Yes, as long as you want, it's no problem. I will definitely save your souls and send you to reincarnation." Chang Shan spoke again and said firmly.
"Who are you? You need to know? The souls of people like us cannot be transcended by ordinary mages." The woman with the guqin turned around and looked at Chang Shan, but her expression seemed very indifferent.
"I'm just an unknown rat. This great mage, please believe me. As long as you are willing to let go of everything here, I will definitely save your souls." Chang Shan nodded to her and said without any intention of joking.
I also analyzed some things from the conversation between the two of them. From his ability to save the souls of the dead, and from what the guqin woman asked him, I learned that this Chang Shan is definitely not a tomb robber. It is really possible that Chang Shan is like Jiao Ba said.
His family may indeed have some connection with Taoism.
"Should I...should I let it go?" the guqin woman asked to herself.
She said softly, "Sister, let it go, let us leave this cold place, and let us start a new life again."
But at this moment, several white lights suddenly flashed again, and the figures of four women appeared in front of us. These four women were none other than the other four women who had played the guqin at the same time as the woman before. Presumably, these four people were
Other dark wizards.
"You...why did you all show up?" The Guqin woman looked a little surprised when she saw their sudden appearance.
One of the women playing the pipa said, "Senior Sister, we all heard what you said to Second Senior Sister. In fact... we have been wanting to leave here for so many years, but none of us said it. Here we are.
We stayed in the cold barrier for hundreds of years. This kind of loneliness was almost unbearable for me.
"Yes, senior sister, if it weren't for protecting the master, we would have wanted to leave here a long time ago." Several other women also said in agreement.
The Guqin woman looked at them and said with some remorse, "It turns out...it turned out to be all my wishful thinking. I realized that you have been drifting in pain and loneliness. Maybe it's time to let go of this cold barrier."
Already."
"Sister, let them go, it's time for us to find our new life." She held her hand again and said with a smile.
"Second Junior Sister... let them burn our bodies, and the barrier will naturally be broken." This Guqin woman finally compromised, and my heart immediately felt much lighter, and we could finally fight less.
It's a tough battle. If you forcefully break through this protective layer, you may not be able to get through.
Chang Shan seized the opportunity and said, "Masters, please rest assured. Once your corpses are burned, I will save you. Even if I exhaust all my abilities, I will send you to reincarnation."
The guqin woman turned to look at Chang Shan, nodded gently and said, "Thank you then. We have been here for hundreds of years, and it's time to leave. We have committed too many sins in our lifetimes, and we have brought it upon ourselves."
of."
"Don't worry, I will definitely send you to the Pure Land of Paradise in the West, so that you can be reincarnated and start a new life." Chang Shan patted his chest and expressed his all-out effort.
At this time, the Guqin woman looked around, as if saying goodbye, then she smiled and said, "Let's go." After she finished saying this, except for the ancient woman who once saved me,
The other women disappeared along with the guqin woman.
She walked up to me slowly and said with a bitter smile, "Zhongyi, there's only so much I can do for you. You can only walk the road on your own in the future."
I looked into her eyes and said with some reluctance, "Thank you, you...are you leaving?"
She nodded, "I don't belong to this world. I have been wandering here for hundreds of years. I should have left long ago. Now that someone can save us, this may be our last chance."
"Didn't you say... if you burn your corpses, your souls will be scattered?" I thought of what she said before. If this is the case, I hope to preserve her corpse so that her soul can live forever.
exist.
"Don't worry, Zhongyi. As long as I'm here, I won't let them lose their souls." Chang Shan stretched out his hand to support my shoulders and tightened his grip.
I nodded to Chang Shan. I believed in his ability. Since he could promise, he would definitely do it. I came back to my senses and looked at the ancient woman in front of me. At this moment, my heart was full of melancholy.
That inseparable feeling came to my heart, and I actually had the urge to cry.
She slowly stretched out her hand and touched my face, "Zhongyi, getting to know you is the happiest thing that has happened to me in the past hundreds of years. Thank you for making me feel like home."
With tears in my eyes, I choked and said, "Me too, it's my great honor to know you... When will we meet again?" In fact, I knew very well in my heart that this was a permanent farewell.
There will never be another day to meet each other.
"If we are destined, we may see each other again in more than ten years, or... we have no chance in this life. I hope God will let me know you sooner in the next life. You are a good man." She smiled.
She said, but that smile broke my heart and made me sad. I had thousands of words to say to her, but now that it was time to say goodbye, I couldn’t say anything. I looked at her with red eyes, feeling in my heart.
Like a knife being twisted, this separation of life and death is the most unbearable for me.
"Zhongyi, before I leave, I want to give you a message: take control of your emotions and don't let love pass you by." While she spoke, she intentionally glanced at Li Xin beside me.
I forced out a smile and said, "I will, we must meet you in the next life."
"I hope so. Goodbye Zhongyi, take care."
When she finished speaking, a white light flashed, and she disappeared in front of my eyes. I stretched out my hands and stared blankly at her departure. Her departure finally made me cry. The tears fell silently, for
To cover up my emotions, I quickly turned my head to the side and wiped the tears from my face.
Li Xin walked up to me and asked in a low voice, "Is it her?"
I understood what she meant. I nodded gently and said, "Well, it's her. Isn't it incredible?"
Li Xin shook her head and said, "No, I can see that she is serious about you, maybe... just because of the helplessness of reality."
I turned to look at her. In fact, at this moment, I really wanted to tell her what happened before, but in the end I still couldn't. I will wait until I leave here and find an appropriate time to talk about it.
