The Husky and His White Cat Shizun

When the wax burns out, darkness remains.

The fire died out, leaving only embers.

But darkness has been bright, ashes have been hot, and he has had light and heat years, which no one knows at this moment, and will not be mentioned again.

Mo Ran has exhausted his last trace of spiritual power.

He watched the sparrows disperse, the dark soldiers sank to the ground, the living people were no longer under control, and the chess pieces were cracked. He watched the black tide that was about to engulf the summit of life and death recede in a daze, and he watched the catastrophe of hell come to an end.

Everyone said that he was heinous, and he felt the same way.But this demon finally did exactly the same thing as the god. Chu Wanning was his wax torch, and he followed the light, step by step.

"elder brother!"

"Burning!"

He vaguely heard someone calling him, and from the corner of his eye he saw Xue Meng staggering towards him, seeing Xue Zhengyi and Mrs. Wang breaking through the encirclement and running towards him.

Relieved to have been called to them, he grinned as if to smile, but tears rolled down his bloodied face.

He wanted to say: "I'm sorry, I did not do well."

But his throat was choked, and in the end, he begged: "Don't hate me."

I am real……

Really like you guys.

I like uncles and aunts, I like the peak of death and life, I like this stolen warmth and stolen relatives.

Uncle, aunt, Xue Meng.

don't hate me.

Millions of soldiers retreated, and Mo Ran fell heavily on the ground, covered in dust.

When Chu Wanning was seriously injured and unconscious in the previous life, her white clothes were stained with blood, but her whole body still looked clean.He is different from Mo Ran, Mo Ran has always been dirty.

When his consciousness was lost, he felt Mrs. Wang reaching out to embrace him, her soft and warm arms calling him distressedly: "Ran'er."

He heard Xue Zhengyi and Mu Yanli arguing, and shouted angrily: "Trickery? What kind of tricks can there be! If it was the pawn he summoned, how could he do this to retreat!"

He heard Xue Meng shouting: "Don't touch him! Don't touch him! Don't take him away!"

a mess.

Mo Ran deliberately explained, and told him more, but he was really too tired, too tired.

He closed his eyes.

Jiaoshan.

Inside the Great Hall of the Sages, the ever-burning lamp faintly breathed out light.The wax torches made from whale oil are as thick as the mouth of a bowl. There is no sun, moon or sun here. Only the lanterns flow down, dripping into lingering candle tears, showing the passage of time.

Shi Mei wore a brocade robe of white fox fur and sat in a high position.He propped his forehead, closing his eyes and resting his mind.

This position was originally occupied by Xu Shuanglin. At the beginning, he watched Xu Shuanglin refine the precious chess pieces, create bliss and purgatory, and hoped that his master would return to the world.

He thought this person was very interesting, but unfortunately he couldn't stay.

In front of him was a piece of silk cloth imbued with illusion, on which dragons and snakes danced, densely packed with small dots of various colors.

This is the "sand table" created by Ta Xianjun in the previous life with the Zhenlong chess game. The black dots are Zhenlong's sunspots, the silver dots are white pieces, the red dots are abandoned pieces, and the small squares on the silk cloth represent Hostile forces - as long as he has this sand table in his hand, he can see the battle situation clearly even thousands of miles away.

Shi Mei spread the silk cloth in front of the case, but never looked at it carefully.He is very clear about the choice Mo Ran will make in the end, and this piece of cloth is placed, but it is just for fun.There are countless ways for Ta Xianjun to get out of the predicament, but Master Mo only has one way to go, so there is nothing to see.

I don't know how long it took, the door of the palace suddenly opened, and there were slight footsteps in the hall. The teacher didn't look up, but asked lightly: "Are you here?"

On the masonry that can be seen as a guide, a man stood still.

The man who walked in was wearing a snow-white cloak with a very low brim, so he couldn't see his face clearly.He stopped in the center of the hall, his body like a lotus.

The man spoke with a clear and elegant voice, but his tone was low: "There was a movement outside just now, and Mo Ran smashed all the chess pieces made by Ta Xianjun."

The teacher didn't even tremble his eyelashes, and said "um" indifferently, and said, "Yeah, he didn't have to choose."

The man said again: "...The body of Stepping Xianjun is no longer good. So the chess pieces he controlled have already started to bite you back. Now Mo Ran uses the power of the spiritual core to untie them all. You have to be relieved, which is also a piece of cake. Good thing."

The teacher smiled: "Oh? Are you caring about me?"

The man didn't answer, and after a while, he said, "What are you going to do next?"

"Just follow the old plan." Shi Mo finally moved, he stretched his waist, opened a pair of peach blossom eyes, and with a smile, the room was full of spring, "I haven't told you long ago."

"...I know you are thinking carefully. But you have to think clearly, Mo Ran paid such a high price to stop the Zhenlong chess pieces from raging. The monks of these sects are not fools, so they don't have any doubts about the whole thing."

The teacher smiled: "I know what you mean. In order to prevent a catastrophe for the cultivation world, he did not hesitate to shatter his own spiritual core, a hero."

"Do you think the comprehension world will interrogate their heroes?"

Shi Mei didn't answer directly, he still smiled, crossed his fingers, put them under his jaw, and asked the person gently: "Is what Mo Ran did like Chu Wanning in the previous life?"

The man was silent for a while before saying: "...Like. It's almost a repeat."

"Well, let me ask you again. In the previous life, Chu Wanning was under house arrest by Ta Xianjun. How many people in the cultivation world really care about him, remember him?"

"..."

Seeing that he didn't answer, the smile on the teacher's face became more and more unpredictable: "Almost none, right? I told you. In those years, Xue Meng ran around, and at first there were two tears of sympathy , promised that he would give a helping hand and go to the peak of death and life to save people. But what happened later? Under the prestige of Ta Xianjun, those promises only stayed on the lips. And as time passed, the initial touch dissipated, and people The more I feel that Xue Meng is bored. When he ran to ask others, everyone told him that Chu Wanning had been in the palace for so long, and he might have died. For a person whose life and death are unknown, how can he pay for other living things? life?"

The mysterious man shook his head: "Chu Wanning was really missing at the time, but now Mo Ran is still by their side. No matter how cruel they are, I am afraid they will not hurt someone who has just shed blood for the cultivation world." people."

Hearing his rebuttal, Shi Mo couldn't help but sigh: "You, compared to me, just lived a few years less, so you are too naive."

As he spoke, he put away the silk on the case table, and all the chess pieces on it had turned red, which meant that they were all invalid.He didn't care, and put the silk back into the Qiankun bag.

"People can be noble when they don't involve their own interests. But once they harm themselves, they will gradually reveal their animal nature."

The slender fingers tied a knot on the Qiankun bag, and the teacher raised his head and said: "In their eyes, half of Mo Ran may be a good person who has been wronged, and the other half may be a scheming villain. It is a pity to accidentally hurt a good person , but misplaced evildoers may lead to a bloody storm in the entire cultivation world."

"..."

Seeing that the other party listened silently, Shi Mo continued: "So, even if he shatters the spiritual core and prevents a catastrophe for the comprehension world. But there are still too many doubts about him, human nature is suspicious, and it damages his own things. They will all choose to kill the grass and roots. This small variable will not change the final result."

The mysterious man asked: "So, do you think Tianyin Pavilion can successfully capture Mo Ran?"

The teacher smiled: "Tianyin Pavilion is from our side, everything is within the plan, this is inevitable. Next, as long as I find a way to get the fragments of the ink-burning spirit core, I will be able to restore the Taxianjun Pack it up obediently. With his power, there is nothing you can't do."

The man didn't answer immediately, and said after a while: "But in another world, you have controlled him for nearly ten years, and what have you done?"

The teacher was slightly stunned, as if stabbed by the man's questioning tone, his face slowly sank, and he squinted his eyes and asked after a long while: "What do you mean, you question me?"

"...No, I didn't question you." The man sighed, "You and I have the same original intention. I'm afraid no one in this world can understand you better than me."

Shi Mo's cold expression eased a little bit, but his beautiful eyes were still staring at the face of the man under the steps, as if he was examining how true and false what the man said, and finally he frowned. Pursing her thin lips, she said, "It's good that you understand. Every step I take is to get back what we deserve, so some sacrifices are inevitable."

"Ah."

"You are right, the person who understands me best is you." The teacher said softly, "I have lived every step of the way between these two lives, and I am frightened. Except for you, I have almost no one to trust."

"..."

"Don't let me down."

The teacher's voice fell, and he lingered like a butterfly. After a complicated silence, the mysterious man spoke. His tone was calm, and he said: "During this time, I have always wanted to ask you a word."

"what?"

Outside Jiaoshan, the clouds were overcast, the wind was blowing, and the vegetation was bleak and falling.It seems that countless displaced people are weeping-the sound of whining wind.

The man said: "I really want to know how much sacrifice was made for our affairs in my previous life. Tell me the truth."

Unexpectedly, he would suddenly ask such a question. The teacher's eyebrows were furious, and his eyes were bright: "Didn't I tell you a long time ago? It's normal that some innocent people will die. If you want to To think of what we have been trampled upon before, it would be—"

"How much is some?"

The man's gentle and resolute voice interrupted Shi Mo's words, and Shi Mo seemed to be dumb for a moment.

His complexion became visibly gloomy.This is very abnormal, because Shi Mo has always been a moody person, but in front of this mysterious man, he doesn't seem to care about his own teeth and claws, as if the murderous intent on his face at this moment, this man can't see it at all .

"Some are just some. Do I still need to register the innocent victims and send them to you for review?"

The man smiled lightly, and said softly, "Okay, you know, I can't see you anymore."

"..."

"I have always cooperated with you. I have been helping you for so many years since you came to find me and told me the truth of my past life. You lurk in the lonely moon night, and I will do everything you told me to do on the summit of life and death. The matter.” The man said, “Although there are some puzzles and occasional confusions, your thoughts are my thoughts, and your pursuit is my pursuit—for the one thing we have in common, I have already put my life and death aside , I always thought you were like this, so I don't mind sacrificing myself, as long as we can succeed."

The teacher suddenly got up and paced back and forth.

"What do you mean by these words? You put life and death aside, which means I'm just living in peace?"

He flicked his sleeves and looked back, staring at the man in white with a frosty expression on his face.

"If you knew what kind of person I am, you shouldn't have said such things at all."

"I know." The mysterious man said, "But I'm thinking, after you cheated your death in your last life, you hid behind the scenes as Hua Binan, and manipulated Mo Ran's inner Gu worm—for ten years."

"Eight years." Shi Mei interrupted him, "Later, Chu Wanning split his earth soul into two and injected him into his body, somewhat calling back some of his nature. In eight years, he committed suicide, not ten Year."

"Okay, eight years." The man said, "In the past eight years, you have expanded the hatred in his heart and caused him to commit such and other heinous crimes, but it has become farther and farther away from our original intention. When you see him like this, why don't you let him go?" Stop him in time?"

The teacher smiled angrily: "Do you know how difficult it is to make a flower of eight bitternesses and long hatred?"

"……I know."

"Do you know that people who have been hit by the flower Gu, once the Gu is released, it will never be possible to take effect a second time?"

"I know."

The teacher stopped smiling, and his eyes flashed with anger: "Then what are you asking. What would you do if you were replaced?"

The man was silent, and sighed after a long time: "Didn't you already make the choice for me?"

The teacher is suddenly aphasia.

The man said: "I haven't done such a thing myself, and walked the way you walked, so even if I knew, if I encountered the same situation, I would make the same decision, but I..."

The teacher squinted his eyes, step by step, walked down the long steps, and stopped in front of the man: "But you?"

"...But I still have a guilty conscience."

Dead silence.

Suddenly, Shi Mei grabbed the man's robe.Such a beautiful hand, wearing a snake pattern ring, and an extremely elegant hand, tightly clutching the person in front of him, the meridians on the back of the hand are protruding.

He gritted his teeth and said, "I have a guilty conscience. What's the difference between you and me? What happened in the past was not planned by the two of us together? Didn't you understand it very well in the past? You Isn't it cruel and merciless? You are ashamed now?—Why?"

"..."

"Because you think Xu Shuanglin regards you as a friend, but you have been deceiving him all this time, telling him the fake rebirth technique, and letting him open the door of life and death for us, are you ashamed?"

The man said softly, "He never betrayed me until his death."

The teacher froze for a moment, with distress and grief flashing in his eyes: "Okay, okay-I said why you were so unwilling at the time-what else? You saw thousands of chess pieces, and you felt sorry for those people Are you blaming yourself?"

The man was very calm: "Don't you have any self-blame in your heart?"

"You..." Shi Mei gritted his teeth, his eyes were almost crazy and ridiculed, he stared at the person in front of him for a long time, as if he was watching a great joke, or a traitor that made his teeth cold.

Suddenly, he seemed to have thought of a very vicious wording. He sneered, showing his poisonous pincers, and pierced into the man's blood.

"Okay, good, you said so many beautiful words. Blame yourself, ashamed. But in the end, are you still regretting it?"

Seeing the blankness in the other party's brows, the light in Shi Mei's eyes became brighter. He was like a vulture pouncing on food, soaring and circling, waiting for the moment when the prey died, and then fell down.

"You suddenly questioned me about Xingshi. You probably felt that you regretted it because you saw the million million Zhenlong chess game. You probably felt that you were touched by seeing Xu Shuanglin's death. But I understand you. I know what kind of person you are. The person who is—remorse and shame do not exist for you, and you are as cold-blooded and untrustworthy as I am."

The vulture's wings cast the shadow of death, lower and lower, colder and colder.

"You're not confessing at all. Don't lie to yourself."

He smiled proudly and decently.

Shi Mingjing, who pinches others seven inches, is always elegant and calm.

He took every word.

"It seems to me that you are only lamenting your eyes."

After finishing speaking, the teacher quickly pulled out the dagger at his waist, and slowly, with the handle of the knife, opened the brim of the man's drooping white cloak, bit by bit, and suddenly it fell off.

The cloak fell, and behind the white velvet hood, what was revealed was an alluring face.

Peerless posture, elegant eyebrows.

The two of them actually have the same face!

It's just that Shi Mei, who is wearing a cloak, has dimmed eyes, covered by a snow-white bandage, and a few strands of forehead hair hang down in front of the silk bandage.

Shi Mei looked at the man whose cloak was lifted, and sneered: "Shi Mingjing, see yourself clearly. What you regret is that you sacrificed more than me. The situation on Jiaoshan that day went to a very bad situation. In order to Disturbing Chu Wanning's mood, we had no choice but to come up with the last trick we discussed - so many people around are watching, we naturally can't act. So in the end you lost your eyes, but I'm fine, you're jealous."

"...If I were jealous, from the very beginning, I would not agree to your plan, and would not make the worst plan to sacrifice myself. In fact, for me, either of us is alive to complete the unfinished business Everything is fine. Why should I-"

The voice did not end, but was interrupted.

"Who?!"

Throwing the dagger, it hit the beam and pillar with precision.

The teacher looked back, and said coldly: "Come out."

Huang Xiaoyue, disheveled and extremely weak, turned out from behind the stone pillar.

He betrayed everyone that day and searched for the treasure of Jiaoshan, but because of the trigger mechanism, he was trapped in the secret room and could not escape.In the secret room of the Confucianism Gate, there is no shortage of gold and silver treasures, sword manuals and cheat books, except for food.

A group of people in Jiangdongtang were trapped in it, brothers killed each other, the strong bullied the weak, and people cannibalized. In the end, only Huang Xiaoyue was left.

After eating the last disciple, he struggled and fumbled, and finally came out of the secret room, but he did not expect to encounter such a strange situation.

—what did he see?Are the two teachers clean?

Huang Xiaoyue couldn't figure it out, couldn't figure it out.

With his mind, he can only guess at most that these are twin brothers, and he would never think that these are two teachers who appeared in the same world under the influence of the Time and Space Gate of Life and Death.

But the more I listened to the conversation between the two, the more strange it became. Huang Xiaoyue was cunning and cunning, and vaguely sensed that something was wrong, and wanted to go first, but Shi Mo's sharp eyes and ears actually detected his existence.

The teacher squinted his eyes: "Who am I, it turned out to be an old mouse."

His gaze moved down and landed on Huang Xiaoyue's robe: "Blood?... There are no animals in Jiaoshan, what kind of blood?"

He was silent for a moment, seeming to think clearly.

There is contempt in the opening and closing of lips and teeth.

"Human blood?"

Feeling murderous, Huang Xiaoyue ran away.

"Where can you escape to?"

Shi Mei's green shirt was elegant and her body was as light as a kite. She was already standing firmly in front of Huang Xiaoyue, raising a pair of misty eyes.

It's a pity that his eyes were too cold, the rain froze into ice in his eyes.

"Old man. I'm afraid you don't know that the most disgusting thing in my life is cannibalism."

——This was the last sentence Huang Xiaoyue heard.

The hall was filled with a strong smell of blood, Shi Mei watched Huang Xiaoyue fall to the ground, blood gurgling from the hole in his chest, and frowned in disgust.

Wiping the blood on his hands, he said, "Disgusting."

Looking back, he stared at another teacher for a moment.

Then his tone slowed down.

"It's been two lifetimes, and there are many beasts like Huang Xiaoyue in the world. Have you seen it? So the cards in this cultivation world should be reshuffled. Besides, don't think too much about it. I told you that I won't let you go for nothing. Sacrifice. When the matter is over, I will find a way to heal your eyes."

"..."

Seeing that the white-robed Shi Mo, who was wrapped in a cloak, was still silent, he rolled his eyes and said lightly: "Don't be stubborn.... Forget it, I promise you, if it is not forced, I will not hurt the innocent again. In this way, you can always rest assured Are you satisfied? Are you satisfied?"

Hearing this sentence, the white-clothed teacher's tensed back slowly relaxed, his lips moved, as if he wanted to say something to another self, but after this trouble, the teacher's mood from the previous life became extremely bad , did not intend to listen to him anymore, and had strode out of the main hall of the Pantheon.
