There was an east wind in the small building last night, and it was quite cold in the morning. There were only a few people walking on the long street, and the sky was not bright yet.
The flowers and plants in the small courtyard are well taken care of, the smoke has risen, the aroma of porridge is coming, and there is still warmth on the pillow.
A few strands of long hair stuck to the quilt, Gu Que had been awake for a long time.
After deciding not to leave this place, the two bought this small courtyard and lived a simple and warm life every day. They had simple meals, walked the dog, played with the cat, and raised flowers and grass. It was an extraordinary pleasure.
Su Xue wakes up very early every morning. She needs to buy the necessary items for the day and make porridge and dishes for herself.
She is his wife, and she does everything a wife should do.
Gu Que's sleep was very light. When Su Xue woke up, he also woke up. Then he looked at the traces of her sleeping next to him, looked at the fallen black hair, and the lingering fragrance left behind, and he felt extremely...
warmth.
There are also birds chirping outside the window. They seem to get up earlier than people. The bleakness of autumn does not bring sadness to people, but instead gives people a sense of lonely beauty.
The yellow leaves in the courtyard are falling, and the fresh air is intertwined with the scent of porridge, as if urging people to get up.
But Gu Que would meditate for a long time every morning. He did not think about a specific thing, but fell into the ethereal, like having close contact with nature, hearing the wind, the air, and the whispers of birds.
In the complex world, all movement and stillness are in his heart. He has an inexplicable feeling, but he can't grasp it and can't express it.
He stood up slowly, put on clean clothes, and gently opened the door.
Outside the door is the world, which is vast and boundless. Under the state is the city, and under the city is this home.
There was a fire in the house, and Su Xue was very busy. She turned around and said with a smile: "Husband, you're awake."
Gu Que smiled and nodded, and then he was ready to go out.
He would always go out early every morning and walk a long way to see the hustle and bustle of the city and the tranquility outside the city.
He didn't know why he was doing this, but he kept walking.
Every time he went out, he had a different feeling that he couldn't express or describe.
"Young man, let's go for a walk again!"
"Your beautiful wife bought a lot of vegetables today, young man, you are very lucky!"
"That girl of mine hasn't been naughty at your house lately, has she? You can't indulge her too much! If you need to scold her, scold her!"
I went out too early in the morning, but I became very familiar with the aunts and uncles selling vegetables. Although they didn't know each other's names, they would inevitably become familiar with each other after walking around a lot.
Gu Que now has a very relaxed attitude and is living a very fun life. He greets a group of people with a smile and slowly walks out of the city.
Outside the city is a lonely land. The autumn colors are getting thicker and the fields are dry and yellow. As far as the eye can see, everything is empty.
And at the end of the emptiness, suddenly there was vegetation and a dense jungle.
The dead branches of the jungle point directly to the sky, and there are old trees with roots crisscrossing each other, evergreen all year round.
Autumn gives the earth a tragic color, but there is always life that escapes.
What does it break out of? It's the rules of nature.
Why can you escape? Because you are familiar with nature.
Fragmented words echoed in Gu Que's mind, each word forming a sentence inexplicably. I don't know where it came from, but after all, I thought of it.
He always thinks of something every day, but maybe it's impromptu, so he can't remember it at all.
But over time, my mentality has changed unconsciously.
He had a hunch that when these insights reached a certain level, there would eventually be a fundamental qualitative change.
He is not looking forward to it, just because he is very satisfied with his current life.
When she got home, the food was fragrant and the chopsticks had just been put away. Su Xue was able to find out exactly when Gu Que would come home on time every time.
The food was not rich, but it was enough to warm the stomach. The body had no need to eat, but Gu Que ate very deliciously.
There is always warmth in ordinary days. The two of them were lying on the rocking chairs under the tree. The sun was rising. The late autumn sunlight was reddish, shining through the gaps between the dead branches and shining spots on the faces of the two people.
"Husband, do you feel deserted in this ordinary life?"
Su Xue couldn't help but ask.
Gu Que shook his head and said, "No."
Su Xue said: "But we have no friends, no communication, no goals and ideals, and no entertainment activities here. Don't you think it's boring?"
Gu Que said: "I have you, there are birds, there is air, there is breeze and drizzle, there is the setting sun and sunset, the whole world is talking to me, I am very satisfied."
Su Xue laughed, her delicate face was like a flower, exuding fresh and elegant charm.
Of course she liked living with Gu Que, and she wished she could go on like this forever, but she raised her head and looked to the north.
And in the far north, in the Forest of Sin and on the top of the Divine Bird Mountain, Meijun still stood on the Dragon Bird Terrace, looking into the distance.
The figure she longed for still did not appear, but she had become accustomed to coming here every day to wait, like a solid watcher's stone, staring blankly at the four directions of the world.
"Your Majesty, the Empress is here."
Mr. Wu's voice sounded, and Meijun suddenly turned around and saw Xuanyuan Qingling in a dragon robe.
As time goes by, she is no longer as immature as she used to be. Her face has become more determined, and she has the imperial palace in her heart. However, at this moment, her face is very ugly.
Mr. Wu had left at some point, and Xuanyuan Qingling stood beside Meijun and said slowly: "The ancestor of Xuanyuan Mingzong came and took back the imperial seal of the God Clan and temporarily took charge of the affairs of the God Clan. I have been ignored in an instant."
Meijun sighed: "What else can we do? Xuanyuan Mingzong, the peak powerhouse who has survived all exhaustion, can kill Dao in just one step. He is the most powerful existence among the gods in the world."
Xuanyuan said lightly: "If the Emperor is still there, even if the ancestor comes back, the gods may not listen to him, but I will not be able to reach the height of the Emperor after all."
Meijun said: "Everything has its fate, and what is supposed to come will always come."
As he spoke, he slowly looked towards the south and saw an extremely tall demonic figure coming towards this direction quickly.
Xuanyuan Qingling smiled bitterly and said: "The devil respects the sky and comes, and the devil clan is also shackled."
"good!"
When Mo Zongtian heard the voice, he immediately replied, landed firmly on the ground, and said in a deep voice: "The Zhan family came to the door in person, moved him with emotion, and understood it with reason. Everything he said is true, and I think it makes sense."
Meijun sneered: "What's the point?"
The devil respects the way of heaven: "Guque is the son of misfortune, and he is robbed everywhere he goes. Since the establishment of the Sin Forest, the five seas invaded the mainland at the same time, but they were fortunately repelled. The Dragon Bird Alliance was too powerful, and it also made the mainland fearful, so that the East
Zhou, Xuanzhou, and Dizhou formed the Eastern Alliance and wanted to annex Huangzhou. The Demon Realm confronted Xizhou. The balance of the continent was completely broken, wars broke out, and the people were in dire straits."
Xuanyuan Qingling couldn't help but said: "Very good, this is all the fault of our Dragon Bird Alliance!"
Zhongtian said: "The birth of the Sin Forest has indeed produced many subtle changes. The Dragon and Bird Alliance has made people in the mainland panic. The war is imminent, and the continent must be twisted into a rope."
Meijun snorted softly and said: "Before the war starts, it really makes sense to cut off one arm first."
Demon Zhengtian shook his head and said: "It is not necessarily impossible for a strong man to cut off his wrist. It is of great importance. I think it is right. Besides, the sinful beast and the human are inherently incompatible. I have already obtained the Demon Clan's Imperial Seal.
Que's position as Demon Lord will be removed immediately, and he will have no relationship with the Demon Clan anymore."
Having said this, he continued to ponder: "This matter is decided by the Council of Elders through discussion and is in line with the rules of the demon clan. Saint, stop being stubborn. Gu Que has become a useless person and disappeared for more than ten years. Without him, it is a sin."
The forest cannot hold on."
"What else? Can I still disband the Sin Forest?"
Meijun sneered and said, "Should I escape back to the Demon Realm? Give up my husband's career?"
The Demon Lord said in a deep voice: "It's not a bad thing, Holy Girl, Gu Que has committed too many sins, maybe this is fate. There are also children of misfortune in history. Basically, they all die at this age due to various reasons. Eternal reincarnation
, never a surprise.”
Meijun narrowed her eyes and said, "So what? How many times has my husband broken the so-called eternal reincarnation, and why have I ever doubted him? He deserves to die too many times, but it's a pity that he has survived until now."
Meijun said: "Ancestor, you don't need to say more. Guque is not a demon, and I am no longer a demon, and I am already a married person, so you don't have to worry about it anymore. I, Meijun, don't
No matter how much I force myself to do, my husband doesn’t need anyone’s help.”
When Demon Zongzongtian heard this, his eyes suddenly narrowed, and he said coldly: "It's still unclear whether Gu Que is dead or alive. It's better for the Saint to make plans in advance. The Forest of Sin is indeed powerful, but without the gods, it's already...
It is isolated and helpless, not to mention that it will face the power of the Cathay world. When millions of law enforcement troops descend on the territory, dozens of gods descend, the three great gods arrive, and the Zhan family's children come out, everything will turn into powder.
.”
Meijun turned away and said slowly: "These are not things that Lord Demon Lord has to worry about. My husband, Jiren, has his own destiny, and he will surely make the world of Cathay return defeated. The coalition forces of the Six Dynasties were so powerful back then, and how could the world have ever done so?
I don’t think that Sin Forest will definitely lose, but what’s the result? The coalition forces were defeated, and it took decades for them to recover.”
She looked at Mo Zhongtian and said softly: "Only then will you know how shallow your decision today is."
Mo Zunzuntian looked at Meijun deeply, and after being silent for a long time, he said in a deep voice: "I won't say much, but let's just find a way out as soon as possible!"
As he spoke, his figure rose into the sky.
Meijun's face turned pale, she hurriedly took a few steps forward and shouted at his back: "Even if I die, I will die on my husband's land!"
After speaking, she seemed to have lost all her strength and collapsed heavily on the ground. Two lines of clear tears suddenly flowed from her cloudy eyes.
Xuanyuan Qingling hurriedly ran over to help her, while Meijun threw herself directly into her arms, and finally couldn't help crying loudly: "Sister, what should I do..."
She cried so hard that her body trembled, and her tears instantly wet Xuanyuan Qingling's clothes. Xuanyuan Qingling patted her back and said softly: "It's okay, sister, he will definitely come back. Don't worry too much."
Meijun murmured: "He paid for this inheritance with his life. How hard it was! If I didn't keep it for him, I would never see my husband again in the future."
She grabbed Qing Ling's hand and cried loudly: "But I can't hold it! No state or region can resist the power of the Cathay world! Sister, how should I explain to my husband!"
Decades of hard work, fatigue, and endless worries seemed to burst out at this moment.
How can others understand Meijun's suffering?
Anyone with a discerning eye knows that the Forest of Sin cannot resist this time.
Xuanyuan Qingling also knew it very well, so she could only hold Meijun's body, pat her back gently, and murmured: "Believe in your husband, he will come back. That woman can't defeat him, and no one can."
Knock him down!"
While she was speaking, she was thinking in her heart: Little bastard, we really can't hold on anymore, where are you! Have you forgotten that we are waiting for you?
Time and space changed, and in the distant city of Yindu, Gu Que suddenly stood up, with sweat on his face.
He was breathing heavily, his heart seemed to be tightly grasped by an invisible hand, and he couldn't breathe.
"Husband, what's wrong?"
Su Xue wiped the sweat from his face with a silk scarf, while Gu Que grabbed her white hand. Feeling the coldness, she felt better.
He murmured: "I don't know why, but I feel an indescribable panic in my heart, as if something is about to happen."
Su Xue sighed and slowly looked north.
(Cavin, so stuck that I vomited blood.) (To be continued)
