The night was cold and cold, and the wind and rain were swaying. The drizzle was like a shuttle, opening a fine bead curtain between the sky and the earth. The raindrops leaked in from the roof of the ruined temple, which was overgrown with weeds and lacked bricks and tiles, and dripped on the sloping roof.
Gradually, two lines of rain marks condensed on the Bodhisattva's warm cheeks, as if she was crying. The compassionate Guanyin held a lotus in his hand, lowered his eyes, and seemed to be staring at her curled up.
The girl at her feet.
This is a Guanyin Temple that has been abandoned for a long time. Ten years ago, Yinglong Xiangliu fought a war on the coast of the East China Sea, causing the rivers and seas to churn, the mountains torn apart, and the earth torn apart. It caused a loss of life and countless casualties. Tens of millions of people left their homes, and all villages and temples were abandoned. Along the coast,
The small village had become dead. Xiaozhu was carrying the fainted Gui Haiming on his back and could not travel far, so he found this ruined temple to shelter from the rain and rest.
The girl supported the young man's arm and helped him sit against the faded pillar. She used her sleeve as a handkerchief to wipe the blood from his lips. In the battle of the East China Sea, Gui Haiming risked his life against Yinglong and was seriously injured.
, dying. If Master and her had not arrived in time, Brother Little Snake might have turned into Brother Dead Snake. Fortunately, Master Cangming came to help later, otherwise she would not be able to heal him with the power of her "Qi Healing Technique"
.
Just when Xiaozhu was secretly rejoicing, someone suddenly grabbed her wrist, and there was a cold touch where the skin met. She raised her eyes and met a pair of obsidian-like black eyes.
"Brother Xiao She, you're awake!" Xiao Zhu said in surprise.
Gui Haiming's eyes darkened, and he slowly loosened his grip on Xiaozhu's wrist, dropped it to his side, and then clenched it into a fist again. He said sadly: "You should..."
"I guess what you want to say," Xiaozhu suddenly straightened his face, frowned fiercely, imitating Gui Haiming's cold tone, and said word by word: "'You should hate me'...
…”
Gui Haiming was stunned at first, then lowered his eyebrows and lowered his head, clenching his fists tighter. Seeing his guilty look, Xiaozhu smiled slightly, stretched out his hands, covered his cold and well-jointed hands, and said softly: "
Brother Little Snake, please don’t think so. Yes, I hate Master so much that I hate it so much. I am sadder than anyone else in the world. I even thought about following Master on the road... But Master’s death is none of your business.
That’s the thing. Every injustice has its own owner, and if you want to blame it, just blame Yinglong, he is the culprit.”
Xiaozhu's warm palm gradually warmed Gui Haiming's cold fist. The latter looked gloomy and said hoarsely: "If I hadn't listened to Yinglong's words, things wouldn't have happened like this..."
"Since you know you have done something wrong, then go and correct it," Xiaozhu hugged his knees, sat beside him, and said softly, "Brother Xiaoshe, do you still remember the first time we met? At that time, you
My parents were killed by the stinky Taoist priests of Tianxuanmen. You hated everyone in the world and kept saying that you wanted to kill them all. But later, you blocked the 'fierce' Mu Zizhen's sword for me.
It’s not as cruel as you said! I knew at that time that you are a hard-spoken person with a soft heart..."
As he said that, Xiaozhu raised his head, looked at the weeping Guanyin statue, and whispered: "I have always believed that Brother Xiaoshe is definitely not a bad person. I firmly believe that you will not kill innocent people, and you will not kill Xiao Xingzhi."
Mr. Xiao. As for Yinglong... I don't know why you believed him, and I don't know why you became that Venerable Yinglong, but I believe that you must have your difficulties and your reasons..."
After hearing what she said, Gui Haiming's deep icy eyes flashed with light. He gritted his teeth and remained silent.
When Xiaozhu saw this, he didn't rush him, and just continued on his own: "I also know, brother Xiaoshe, you are not a talkative person. You always like to keep things in your heart, and you always like to keep things in silence by yourself.
But we are friends, aren't we? As the saying goes, three cobblers are as good as Zhuge Liang. You, me, and Mr. Bi Fei, we make just three. We have gone through many difficulties and experienced life and death together.
, what can’t be said about this fateful friendship? If you talk about it, you may be able to find a solution, instead of falling deeper and deeper alone and never look back until you hit the wall."
After a pause, Xiaozhu raised the corners of his lips, smiled slightly, and pretended to be mysterious: "If you tell me, I will tell you some good news about Master."
Hearing what she meant, Gui Haiming was surprised and happy, and asked anxiously: "Is the Immortal Lord okay?"
Xiaozhu withdrew her warm hands, folded her arms, and looked at the sky and the earth, but not at her little snake brother. It was clear that there was a deal, and she had to wait for the other party to speak first. Gui Haiming Yinglong was resurrected, and Mo Bai died.
He was feeling guilty and blaming himself for the incident, but now that he heard Xiaozhu's words, he seemed to have another hope. He endured the dull pain in his heart and recounted the old events one by one:
Ten years ago, Ming She's lineage suffered a massacre. Gui Haiming's parents were killed by Tianxuanmen. Gui Haiming, who was seriously injured, was rescued by Mo Bai and Xiao Zhu, and escaped from Mu Zi's real sword. After that, his wings were torn apart.
Broken and bruised, he lost strength due to his injuries and fell into the glacier. Unexpectedly, he felt the demonic power of his mother's inner elixir. So, he followed the Demon-Slaying Alliance ship and sneaked to the coast of the East China Sea, where he discovered tens of millions of
The seven-seal star pillar made of the inner elixir of the demon spirit. In order to save his parents, Gui Hai Ming hit the star pillar with his strength, but he could not shake the seal even half. Just when he was about to die, the demon blood was stained with the dragon pattern of the star pillar. By coincidence, the star pillar was
Yinglong unsealed and transformed. At that time, although Yinglong took the form, he could not escape from the barrier due to being imprisoned by the Seven-Seal Star Pillar. Yinglong lied and accepted Haiming as one of the four venerables.
Promise: When the Seven Seals Star Pillar is completely destroyed and Yinglong returns to the world, it will be the time when Gui Haiming's parents escape from danger and come back to life.
The hoarse voice slowly spoke of the past. Hearing this, Xiaozhu had clarified the cause and effect to nine points. She couldn't help but frowned, stretched out her hand again, and covered Gui Haiming's cold palm: "
Brother Xiao She, don’t blame yourself. You are affectionate and righteous, and it was because of the word 'filial piety' that you were deceived by Ying Long and helped him unblock..."
"But it's because of me that Yinglong will come back to the world. Guo Hongfei and Xiao Xingzhi also died because of this." Gui Haiming said in a hateful voice, his thin lips pressed tightly into a forbearing arc. There was blood in front of his eyes.
As the fog dispersed, he seemed to see Guo Hongfei seeing his old father off in Dingshan Village again, and finally transformed into Fei, looking north and bowing his head, dying. He saw the affectionate Xiao Xingzhi, raising eyebrows with his wife and looking at each other.
They laughed, but in the end they fell in love so much that they both fell in a pool of blood...
Seeing the ridge between his brows and the darkening of his icy eyes, Xiaozhu also felt a sore heart. Stubbornly and stubbornly, she tapped her slender fingers into the other's fingers, firmly held the other's cold palm, and held her
The heat in her palms spread to her. She raised her eyes, stared at Gui Haiming's resolute profile, locked his red eyes, and his pupils as dark and cold as the abyss, and said slowly:
"Brother Little Snake, you didn't kill Hongfei and Young Master Xiao, and they didn't die because of you. Even if you hadn't appeared, Yinglong would still have thought of other ways to find a way out of trouble. Yes, you are wrong.
, the only thing you did wrong was to listen to the slander and help the tyrants do evil. But you are wrong, we can still change it. Master said, if you know your mistakes and you can change them, there is no greater good. It is never too late to repent and change them. You still have me, we
Let’s find a way together to seal Yinglong back!”
Gui Haiming was startled when he heard this. He lowered his eyes, slowly withdrew his hand, and said coldly: "No. You are just a mortal, no different than..."
"It's like using a mantis' arm as a chariot," Xiaozhu cut off her words. She stubbornly held the other person's hand tightly, preventing the other party from breaking free. "Yes, I am a mortal, and you are all immortals, demons, ancient gods and demons. Compared with you,
, I am just a little ant. But ants also have their own way of living, and ants will not let others bully or trample on them. Ten thousand ants can eat elephants, but little ants also have their own ways. In short, in a word, this
It's a puddle of muddy water, I'm determined to wade through it! Brother Little Snake, don't even think about leaving me behind!"
Warm heat came from her fingertips. Gui Haiming turned her head slightly, and what she saw was a delicate smile. Her eyes, as warm as amber, were like broken stars, shining with the light of hope and belief. There was no reason.
On the ground, Gui Haiming suddenly recalled the round-faced, pink and tender female doll when he first met him. He smiled, balled up her soft little fists, and said to him:
"I, Yue Xiaozhu, would like to thank Brother Xiaoshe for saving my life today. If you meet a bad guy again in the future, Xiaoshe, I will help you fight him off."
Her sweet voice, bright smile, and that sincere and sweet smile were the only warmth in the snowy night in the middle of winter. Time passed by, ten years passed, and he still remembered her appearance that day, and her amber eyes,
Reflecting the moonlight, he was full of smiles, like the new moon falling on the earth.
It turned out that from that day on, a smile had been engraved on his heart that would never be erased.
The drizzle was miserable, and Guanyin shed tears. The stern young man, and the smiling girl, clasped their fingers together, never leaving.
Time seemed to have stopped here, and in the quiet temple, only the sound of each other's breath could be heard. Xiaozhu, who had previously been dedicated to comforting each other, only then realized that the gesture of intertwining their fingers was too intimate, and she hurriedly wanted to retract her hand.
, but this time, it was Gui Haiming who increased the strength in his hand and refused to let go.
Xiaozhu coughed lightly and changed the subject blatantly: "The good news I mentioned earlier is actually just a remedy. Master has a close friend named 'Cangming'..."
Then, she recounted exactly how Cangming appeared that day and what he said about Master Mo Bai's resurrection. At the end, the girl raised her eyebrows and said loudly: "...So, as long as we
After collecting the four magic weapons, you can call back the master! Also, according to Master Cangming, the Yunsheng Mirror was originally in the hands of the master. Although it is not known where it went after that, in any case, the whereabouts of the mirror
, Master must know! Brother Xiaoshe, we still have a chance. When Master is well, we will go find Yun Shengjing and seal Yinglong again!"
Hearing this, Gui Haiming's heart was lifted: helping Yinglong to resurrect and causing the death of Immortal Mobai in the East China Sea was a regret in his life. He never thought that he would still have the opportunity to correct the past and turn things around. This cold and stern man of few words
The warrior nodded solemnly and said in a deep voice: "If I can resurrect the Immortal Lord, seal Yinglong, return to the sea and go through fire and water, I will do whatever it takes."
Xiaozhu smiled and said loudly: "That's right! Brother Xiaoshe, let's fight together! So what if the ancient gods and demons still have noses and eyes? As long as we fight and work hard, we won't regret it!"
The girl's bright eyes were shining with the light of hope. This unyielding fighting spirit made Gui Haiming's icy eyes like an abyss and cold pool shine with new splendor. The latter nodded in agreement and slightly
He thought: "If there is an immortal artifact? Yun Shengjing, we can give Yinglong a try. However, our opponent is not only Yinglong, there are three other sages under him, Jiuhuang, Xuying, and Hunsha.
, everyone has their own special abilities, they are not easy people..."
At this point, Gui Haiming frowned and continued: "That day in the battle of Dingshan Village, Zhong Wujia killed Hongfei because she was a mortal who transformed into a demon, so I did not doubt Master Yinglong. But.
On the shores of the East China Sea, at the moment when the four spiritual weapons were gathered together, it was a phantom that took out Thunder Eyes, which proves that Zhong Wujia's actions were actually secretly instigated by him."
Xiaozhu said in shock: "Brother Xiaoshe, are you saying that the culprit who turned the Zhong Wujia brothers and sisters into monsters back then was this phantom?"
"Yes, there is also what Zhengde, the master of Chiyun Tower, said before his death. Venerable Yinglong taught him the 'Soul Refining Formation' and made him become a demon with his thoughts. In my opinion, it was also done by Xu Ying," Gui Hai
Ming analyzed in a cold voice, "Among the four masters of Yinglong, this shadow rarely shows up. He always wears a silver ghost mask, and his voice is extremely hoarse, as if he did it deliberately. This man is very deep in the city, and he is very scheming. This
In the past ten years, I have never seen his true face. If we want to collect the four magic weapons of the Demon-Slaying Alliance, we need to be careful to avoid leaks and clues."
Xiaozhu nodded in agreement and said: "Brother Xiaoshe, you are right. It would be terrible if Yinglong and the others find out that Master is still alive and find out about Yun Shengjing. As for the four magic weapons, they are already certain.
The Soul Bead is in the hands of sister Yan Ruoshiyan, but she has just lost her husband and is about to give birth. She urgently needs the Soul Bead to protect her pregnancy. During this period, we'd better not disturb her. Why don't we go and talk to her first?
Mr. Bifei and Mr. Bi will make peace and then look for the other three magic weapons, okay?"
Gui Haiming responded with the word "Okay" in a deep voice, and then held his breath and concentrated. The next moment, the seal of Mingxiao appeared on his forehead. A ray of light like a silver moon enveloped him. On the face of the stern young man,
Pieces of cast-iron silver snake scales vaguely emerged. In an instant, he transformed into a tall and slender giant snake, with all four wings spread out. He stared at Xiaozhu with silver eyes like ice in winter, and lowered his snake head slightly.
He motioned for her to sit on his back.
When the girl sat down, she saw the singing snake fluttering its wings and rising into the sky. In an instant, it turned into a streak of silver light, soaring straight into the sky, breaking through the wind.
