The sky and water

Ghost Smile is a rare magical weapon that can recognize the master. When the master calls, no matter where he is, he will automatically fly to the master's hand. Therefore, Cheng Shanshui can't lose this sword.

The conditions for recognizing the master, no one can say clearly, logically, Ghost Smile is a magic sword, and the one who can make him recognize the master must be a devil, but even if he pierces the ghost face, it has not made Ghost Smile recognize the master, Ji Honglie also said I don't know why, it will recognize Cheng Shanshui as the main one.

"Master Cheng, let's do it for ourselves!" After Ji Honglie left these words, he disappeared in the night. Cheng Shanshui didn't chase after him. Not knowing what to do next, he just stood on the ground, staring at his hands with a ghostly smile, in a daze.

On the other side, Tian Cheng stood still and took a look, only to realize that the person blocking him was actually Qing Luo!

"Tian Cheng, hello!" It was still the neutral and peaceful voice, the tall and straight figure, the clear and gentle cheeks, everything was just like the first time Tian Cheng saw him in the Sword Drinking Pavilion, But in this situation, his appearance was full of strangeness.

Tian Cheng was stunned for a while, and finally spoke, calling softly: "A Luo."

Qing Luo seemed very satisfied when he called her so, with her long and narrow phoenix eyes raised at the corners, showing a nice smile.They have the same phoenix eyes, but Qing Luo is different from Ji Honglie, not as coquettish as him, but with a noble posture like an emperor who looks down on everything.

"Tian Cheng, come with me, I will never hurt you again." The voice was calm and gentle, like flowing water in a mountain, revealing calmness and firmness for no reason.

Tian Cheng was a little strange, because Qing Luo had never hurt him, but every time he would bring peeled apples or other delicate snacks to talk to him about calm topics, but what he said now was just like in the past As much as it hurt him.

Could it be that he is really Qinglan?As soon as this idea came up, Tian Cheng immediately denied it, because Qinglan had never hurt him.On the contrary, when he was covered in injuries and couldn't get up, only Qinglan could take care of him to the best of her ability in such a difficult environment.

He didn't have time to think about it, he was worried that Cheng Shanshui was in danger, so he said to Qingluo directly: "I can't go with you, Shanshui is in danger!"

As he said that, he was about to jump up to help Cheng Shanshui, who might be fighting fiercely, but was stopped by Qing Luo's sword.

Canghai swordsmanship, Qingluo's sword moves are exactly the same as Cheng Shanshui's, but more mature and steady than him. Qingluo doesn't seem to be very old, but he seems to have decades of experience in using the sword. In front of him, he was like a naive child, with no strength to restrain a chicken.

"A Luo, let me go." He didn't make a move, and he knew that the move just now was useless.

Qingluo looked at him, her pair of phoenix eyes were suddenly as deep as a deep pool, as if she wanted to suck him into her eyes, with such pity and persistence.

"You can't follow Cheng Shanshui anymore, he will kill you. Tian Cheng, you know that he practices Xuan Ye, but do you know that Xuan Ye needs to achieve great perfection?"

Looking at Tian Cheng's surprised face, Qing Luo uttered three words in satisfaction, each word paused, each word resoundingly: "Kill my beloved."

When Xuan Ye Kungfu has been cultivated to the ninth level and is about to complete, there is a condition to be achieved, and this condition is: kill the beloved.It may be one's relatives, one may be one's lover, in short, one must kill the most important person in the world in order to reach the state of Dzogchen.That's why Xuan Ye is called an evil skill, who can kill even his beloved, what else can't be abandoned?

Moreover, when Xuan Ye has cultivated to a certain level, it is not something you just throw away if you want to. When the Dzogchen is approaching, the cultivator will be devoured by the killing intent in his heart and reason. If you can't kill your beloved in the end, you will die from exhaustion.

"It wasn't his wife that Cheng Dongnan wanted to kill at the time, his true love was his son, Cheng Shanshui, but Cheng Shanshui was protected by his mother, and with what little reason he had left, he reversed the edge of the sword, Killed someone else. Cheng Shanshui is going to follow his father's old path, he is now Xuanye Jiuzhong, if you insist on following him, you will die under the ghost laugh when he breaks through the Great Perfection in the end." Qing Luo He spoke quickly, and while speaking, carefully observed Tian Cheng's reaction, expecting him to change his mind and return to his side.

The bright moonlight illuminated that pale but delicate cheek like water, and in the deep dark green eyes, there was only a flash of shock, and then, an indifferent smile.

Qing Luo was very surprised, it was the first time he saw Tian Cheng smile, he saw that face that was usually frozen like ice, showing a soft and clean smile like the first drizzle in early spring.That smile is so touching, the corners of the thin and shallow lips are slightly raised, it is not a strong smile, but it is so real, so beautiful, and thrilling.Qing Luo didn't know why he laughed, why he could still laugh when he heard such a thing.

"If he kills me during the Dzogchen, it means that I am his true love, right? Moreover, after he Dzogchen, he will have the same strength as the leader, and will never be bullied again, right?"

When he said this, he was still smiling, and there was a trace of bitterness hidden in the smile, but it was just such a faint trace, submerged in joy and satisfaction.

Suddenly, Cheng Shanshui drank wine, sat on the ground crying like a child, and felt a pain in his heart. In his heart, to him like that, he said softly: Shanshui, it's okay, no one will let you in the future Cried.

Qing Luo was stunned, he didn't expect that someone could be so indifferent to life and death, so easily hand over his life to others, but why, why this person is Cheng Shanshui, what good is he, exactly!

Seeing Tian Cheng's figure about to leave, he asked this sentence unwillingly: "What's so good about him!"

Tian Cheng stopped in his tracks, turned his head, and said clearly, "Only him, treat me well."

After finishing speaking, he didn't look back, and went straight to the room where Cheng Shanshui was.Qing Luo didn't stop him anymore, but stood where she was, raised her head, and looked at the bright moon in the night sky.

It was late at night, and the fight had finally come to an end, the surroundings became quiet, only the quiet night wind was still beating on the eardrums from time to time.

It seemed to hear the rustling sound of the wind passing through the grassland and woods, as if to smell the bloody smell of the wind mixed with the salty sea water, as if to see, in the cold night wind, the bruised, naked, curled up in the cold and dark In death row, a shivering child.

The night on Dark Night Island is so cold, not only the body, but the heart is too cold, right?

How many nights like that are there?

Tian Cheng, 42, am I that bad to you?

Qing Luo sighed heavily, his lightness skill was extremely high, but he felt that his footsteps were so heavy at this moment, he almost didn't want to continue walking due to the heavy weight.If he goes on, what else will he have left?

However, he left after all, with the unwillingness in his heart, step by step, he left the place of right and wrong.

In the hut of the inn, silence fell again, as if nothing happened just now, except for the messy blood and corpses in front of him.

Why, why should I cultivate Xuan Ye?If I didn't cultivate this magic skill, if I didn't, if...

Cheng Shanshui sat alone in the corner of the room, hiding his face in a corner where the moonlight could not reach, and clenched the ghostly smile that could no longer be shaken off, so tight that his knuckles turned white.

His heart was full of remorse, and also, the unspeakable fear of the future, he could hardly control his emotions, biting his lips with his teeth, a line of red blood flowing down the corners of his lips.

"Shanshui, it's okay."

This voice made him raise his head, and saw Tian Cheng's tall but slender figure.

Cheng Shanshui habitually wanted to smile at him, but the corners of his lips just twitched a few times unnaturally, after all, he couldn't smile.

Tian Cheng knelt down in front of him, stretched out his hand, and wiped away the blood from his lips, looked at those bright but painful eyes, stretched out his hand, and covered his hand holding Ghost Smile.

The strength in that hand finally relaxed slowly, Cheng Shanshui raised his head, in the darkness, he felt that there was a water-like brilliance in those deep black eyes, he couldn't tell whether it was tears or not.

"We can't stay here for long, let's go." Tian Cheng said, and wanted to help him up, but Cheng Shanshui roughly blocked the hand he extended.

Ever since Tian Cheng woke up in the medicinal bath, Cheng Shanshui had always been so gentle to him, protecting him everywhere, but only this time, he fiercely blocked his hand, raised his head, glared at him, and shouted loudly : "Tian Cheng, you go! I don't want to see you again, you go, the farther you go, the better! You go back to the Yinjian Pavilion, to Pavilion Master Pan, even if you go back to the Devil's Cult, it's better than following me! Piercing the ghost face, At least I won't kill you!"

Tian Cheng was not angry or surprised, he just stood there, staring at him blankly, with a warm jade-like brilliance flowing through his dark green eyes, after a long while, he slowly said: "Shanshui, you cultivate It's Xuan Ye."

A trace of surprise flashed in Cheng Shanshui's eyes, but it was fleeting. Tian Cheng was not stupid, so it was not surprising that he could guess it.

"You are Xuanye Jiuzhong, and for Dzogchen, you need to kill your loved one." Tian Cheng's tone was not turbulent, like a calm and clear stream on a sunny day, without stormy waves, it just made people feel comfortable and warm.

"Shan Shui, if it were me, I would."

Hearing this, Cheng Shanshui's eyes immediately burst into flame-like anger, and he roared: "What stupid things are you talking about, you..."

He didn't finish his sentence because Tian Cheng interrupted him.Tian Cheng is usually very silent. Most of the time, it is Cheng Shanshui who is talking and he is listening. No matter what he says, he listens very seriously. Cheng Shanshui can hardly remember. The last time he interrupted him was when.

"I don't want to go back to the Devil's Cult. There...there is only pain there. Shanshui, do you know that in the past, I never looked forward to the dawn, because as soon as it dawned, someone would use a whip to force me to practice martial arts or serve the leader. If I can’t get up, I’ll be splashed by the sea, punched and kicked, and…” He lowered his head, unable to continue, Cheng Shanshui stared at his face, with his back to the moonlight, he couldn’t see clearly, but he could still see clearly He could feel the pain in his brow.

However, Tian Cheng finally finished speaking. He raised his head, looked at Cheng Shanshui, and said, "But now, I look forward to the dawn, because only when the sun rises can I see you. Without you, I don't know if I can still go." Where, so, Shan Shui, I am willing, even if you kill me, I will..."

He didn't continue, because Cheng Shanshui jumped up, stretched out a hand, and blocked his mouth so that he could not continue.

Cheng Shanshui raised his head, stared into those dark green eyes, and said resolutely, "I won't kill you!"

He speaks very clearly, his voice is not loud, but every word is resounding.This voice echoed in the hearts of the two, and the lingering sound was heavy and lingered for a long time.

After saying this, his mind seemed to have finally returned to normal. Looking sideways at the mess on the ground, he grabbed Tian Cheng's sleeve and said, "It's not suitable to stay here for long, let's go!"
