Behind him is a noisy competition venue, where countless young men and women are fighting hard, with passion, dignity, loss, and sadness.
Vibrant, unrestrained, and extremely beautiful when you think about it, but it doesn't seem to belong to you.
Gu Que didn't know where he belonged. He had no memory, but he still felt that although he had defeated several masters, he didn't feel any excitement and couldn't find a sense of belonging.
He had always understood that the world was too big, but now in his eyes, it was just a wasteland.
It was getting dark, the lights all around were dim, but the sound of fighting still came.
The alley is deep and lonely, with the dilapidated brick walls on both sides mottled with moss. The hustle and bustle of the entire city forms a very strong contrast with this place.
It looks like a human world outside, but here it is a pure land.
He could clearly hear the words of the people in the distance. Some children were crying, some mothers were anxious, some dogs were barking, some were sighing, some were laughing and playing, and some were walking away silently.
Why am I not a person who is far away? What I am far away from is the human world.
He felt very painful because he had the mind of an ordinary person but had a body that was different from ordinary people.
His consciousness told himself that he might not have been simple before, otherwise they wouldn't have been able to kill him.
But where to find everything?
The narrow alley is inaccessible, and every ten feet, there is a red lantern hanging.
Red is so festive, but also so lonely.
He didn't know where he was going, but walking seemed to keep him busy and make his mind slightly less active.
It was just a faint fragrance, coming from nowhere, but it was so refreshing.
This place is not clean, there is garbage and smelly water, but the fragrance is so gentle and intoxicating.
What Gu Que felt was a familiarity that made his heart tremble.
He couldn't help but quicken his pace and walked forward as fast as he could.
I don't know how deep the alley is, but under the red light of the lantern, white snow is floating.
Pieces fell down piece by piece, sleeping gently on the ground, as if to cover everything up.
Gu Que couldn't feel the cold, but the snow was getting heavier, flying like catkins, like broken fluff, falling from the dark and deep sky, slowly spreading on the bluestone floor.
The floor is also ancient, as if it has witnessed the vicissitudes of countless years, carrying the weight of generations after generations.
The wind began to blow, it was very small, and it penetrated the alley, as if a woman was hissing softly.
My face felt a little cold, the snow turned bright red under the light, and that bright red made me feel even more lonely.
Just Gu Que raised his head. At the end of the alley, on the other side of the flying snow, the world was a little blurry, but the figure was so clear.
She is very tall and somewhat plump. She is holding a paper fan, wearing white clothes and fluttering blue silk. She has a demure look on her face and is walking lightly.
She walked very slowly, as if she was afraid of crushing the snowflakes on the ground, as if she was afraid of extinguishing the gentle night breeze. But at that moment, the white clothes, black silk stockings, paper fans, white snow, red lights and everything else...
All of them are intertwined to form a beautiful picture.
So Gu Que stopped. He couldn't hear any sound, couldn't see the blurry world, the wind was gone, the snow was gone, and the alley was gone. There was only this beautiful figure holding a paper fan in his heart.
The fragrance comes from her body.
No, in fact there is no fragrance, just the familiarity of heartbreak that makes people intoxicated.
His body froze and tensed up. The woman in front of him moved lightly, gradually approaching, as if she was about to pass him by.
There was a touch of sadness on her face, and there seemed to be a smile and perseverance in the sadness.
An emotion that is incomprehensible, but so familiar.
She is about to go away, her back is thin, and the wind has become beautiful.
"You... girl..."
Gu Que couldn't help shouting, but his face turned red. He didn't know he was so embarrassed.
The woman in white turned her head, her eyes were clear and crystal clear, her sadness was gone, she smiled slightly and said, "Are you calling me?"
Gu Que was a little panicked, but couldn't help but said: "Do we know each other?"
The woman in white didn't say anything, she just turned around and walked towards Gu Que. This time she walked very quickly and arrived in front of Gu Que in a few steps.
They were very close and looked at each other, and Gu Que seemed to be able to feel each other's warm breath.
"Do you think we know each other?"
The smile on the face of the woman in white was so charming, it seemed to warm the whole alley and Gu Que's whole heart.
Gu Que swallowed his saliva and murmured: "I don't know, but I feel you are so familiar, I...I..."
The world is lonely and he has no sense of belonging, but for some reason, this woman always makes him feel at ease.
Standing in front of her, I felt very at ease.
But the paper fan had already fallen to the ground, and the white snow was falling down. The woman's eyes were as gentle as water, and she suddenly threw herself into Gu Que's arms.
Her body was trembling, and Dan Lip finally couldn't help but speak, trembling: "Husband, Su Xue has had a hard time finding you."
Hearing these words, Gu Que's heart felt as if he had been punched hard, and the pain was so painful that he could hardly breathe.
He didn't know the name Su Xue, but he at least knew what the word husband meant. There was an indescribable pain in his heart, like a prodigal son who had done something wrong, mixed with countless complex emotions.
My chest was wet, and the delicate body in my arms was crying. The voice was very low, but it seemed to be ringing in my heart.
For some reason, the corners of his eyes became moist, and he felt moved in his heart, but he couldn't find the source, so he could only hug this person tighter.
The snow is still falling, their hair has turned white, the wind is miserable, and there is no one in the alley, it feels like their own world.
She didn't know how long it took before Su Xue slowly raised her head from Gu Que's arms. She looked at that strange yet familiar face, her eyes were full of tenderness.
Her hands as tender as green onions touched Gu Que's cheek, and she said softly: "Do you know how much we miss you? Your secret has been covered up, and even the Lord of Heaven cannot count you. If I hadn't gone to seek help from you,
Sir, I’m afraid I still don’t know where you are.”
The hands on her face were a little cold. Gu Que stared at her blankly, feeling heartbroken but not knowing what to say.
Su Xue forced a smile, and said in a low voice, "I know that you have forgotten everything, and I also know that you have lost your martial arts skills. But it doesn't matter. With Su Xue here, no one can harm you."
Gu Que opened his mouth, but was still speechless. After thinking for a moment, he finally said: "Your name is Su Xue, what is my name?"
"Guque!"
Su Xue held his face and smiled slightly: "Your name is Gu Que. You are not lonely, but someone who has been let down. You are not lonely. You have us, and you have not let anyone down."
"Gu Que..."
Gu Que thought of the Taoist priest and murmured: "Yes, someone called me Gu Que. He was an old man with gray hair."
Su Xue said: "He is my master. His understanding of Tao has reached a very high level. It was he who called nature and found you."
Gu Que didn't understand, so he could only hold her hand and hold her tightly in his arms.
Su Xue said: "Husband, don't worry, we all believe in you. As long as you come back, we will wait for you as long as possible."
Upon hearing these words, Gu Que's body suddenly shook, and a majestic and beautiful mountain range suddenly came to mind, and a voice imprinted itself on his mind.
"Husband, I'm waiting for you in the Forest of Sin."
This voice was sad and painful, so clear, yet fleeting in an instant.
Who said this? Gu Que shook his head, of course he couldn't remember clearly. But he couldn't help but asked: "Where is the Forest of Sin?"
Su Xue was stunned and said quickly: "Husband, have you remembered?"
Gu Que shook his head blankly.
Su Xue sighed and said: "The Sin Forest is in Xizhou, north of Jinhai, south of Tianzhou, and west of Shenzhou. That is your land, with your people and career."
Gu Que was still at a loss, but an old voice had already sounded: "Oh, Su Xuezi, you will only make him sink longer."
Along with the sound, a green light suddenly appeared in the void ahead, and a white-haired old man wearing ancient Taoist robes, with deep eyes, was looking this way.
Gu Que recognized him, the old man he saw for the first time when he woke up.
Su Xue shook her head and said: "Master, since I know the news about him, how can I resist not coming to see him?"
Dong Xizi said: "Idiot, what he needs now is not warmth, but understanding. Only with a blank memory, being alone, experiencing everything in the world, separation and separation, seven emotions and six desires, can he truly awaken. The so-called origin, is the same.
!”
Su Xue said: "But I have to come to him. Master, I am willing to accompany him through this world of mortals. Just let me accompany him!"
Dong Xizi sighed with emotion and said: "This is your own choice, I will not interfere, but have you ever thought that Yuxu Palace also needs you?"
Su Xue said firmly: "I am his wife first, and then the palace master of Yuxu Palace. If I have to make a choice, Su Xue would rather resign as the palace master."
"Maybe this is cause and effect!"
Dong Xizi shook his head and said in a low voice: "The world of mortals is vast, the world is dangerous, and his holy land will show off his martial arts. I'm afraid it will rarely be quiet. You can't reveal your identity, otherwise he will also reveal his identity."
Su Xue nodded and said, "Disciple understands."
Dong Xizi looked at Gu Que, smiled slightly and said: "The edge of a sword is sharpened, but I don't know how long it will take for your sword to be sharpened, but Gu Que, you must understand that everything in the world has its own rules, and all the emotions in your heart
There is cause and effect. Only by taking it calmly and understanding it carefully can we truly break out of the cocoon!"
Gu Que said calmly: "I don't understand."
Dong Xizi said: "You don't have much time."
As he spoke, he disappeared between heaven and earth, and Su Xue couldn't help but sigh.
Gu Que frowned and said, "This old man is very strange. I feel like his eyes can see through everything."
Su Xue smiled and said: "Master's martial arts is not very high, but his understanding of Tao is rare in the world. His heart has become one with the world."
Gu Que said: "I don't understand."
Su Xue said: "You will understand. You even understand better than me. It's just that you are sleeping, but you will wake up. I believe in you."
Gu Que was silent for a long time, then slowly said: "Then where are we going?"
Su Xue smiled and said: "Wherever you go, Su Xue will go."
Gu Que thought for a while and suddenly said: "I don't want to go anywhere, I just want to be with you."
Hearing these words, Su Xue's shoulders trembled, and she couldn't help but burst into tears.
She nodded lightly and couldn't help but hug Gu Que. (To be continued)
