for evil

Zhong Nan, who was waiting alone, did not know how many years he had been waiting. The life in the barrier was as boring as ever, and the same life was repeated every day.

For some reason, Zhong Nan has also developed the habit of looking at the moon, seeing it waxing and waning under the dark red sky, and sometimes he would wonder whether Bai Qi has walked out of the barrier or not?Had he seen another color of the sky elsewhere?

Zhong Nan has never been to the west of the barrier since Bai Qi left. It is said that it is full of carrion and bones of the same race, which is the final fate of those who yearn for freedom and wishful thinking. Zhong Nan, who has always been fearless, feels a little scared when he thinks of it. He was afraid that if he went, he would find Bai Qi's body there... He was afraid that his desire for freedom would end there, and he was also afraid that his partner who had been with him for so many years would never come back.

Zhong Nan was as undisciplined as ever, and filled his heart with fear and hope from time to time, suffering in vain for many, many years, just when he had almost given up hope, and comforted himself in his heart, "Forget it, he won't come back, You can't get out" moment, but unexpectedly ushered in Bai Qi's return.

Bai Qi was dressed in a moon-white robe, with a black long sword on his back, standing in front of their original residence and staring blankly.

After a long time, seeing Zhong Nan walking out of the room, the indifferent expression on his face eased, and he smiled slightly.

Zhong Nan was also taken aback when he saw the person coming, with a look of wariness on his face. When he finally recognized who the person in front of him was, his vigilance turned to surprise: "You...you're back?"

"Ah."

"You... really walked out of the enchantment?"

"Ah."

"you……"

Bai Qi looked at his partner whom he hadn't seen for many years, and said in a low voice, "Go into the room and talk about it."

After sitting down, Zhong Nan's mind dazzled by surprise eased up, and he changed into the original faceless smile, and said in a straight line: "The people who came back from outside are indeed different, and their whole temperament has changed. .”

Bai Qi didn't speak, but smiled lightly.

Zhong Nan looked at Bai Qi's sword: "Your sword is not bad, where did you get it? It looks quite heavy, isn't it tiring to carry it?"

Bai Qi took it off lightly, and wiped the blade very gently: "One... a guy gave it." At the end, he curled his mouth again: "An interesting guy."

Zhong Nan looked at Bai Qi's expression in vain and a little embarrassed. He felt that he hadn't seen him for many years, and he had been separated in two completely different worlds all year round. But Bai Qi resolutely walked on his own way, met new people, and had more exciting stories...

Zhong Nan never asked about the story of Bai Qi outside, nor about the sword-bearer. He felt that he and Bai Qi were too far apart, and he didn't want his old friend to become even stranger.

Bai Qi handed Zhong Nan a small pagoda, and Zhong Nan recognized that it was the one he left for Bai Qi when Bai Qi was about to leave that day, but it seemed to be heavier than before, Zhong Nan moved closer, and could faintly see it from the pagoda. Feel the deep, powerful... resentment.Zhong Nan couldn't believe it: "You really collected thousands of souls?"

Bai Qi seemed a little tired, lying on the bed with his eyes closed: "Well, when I feel better, let's go to Guixu and have a try."

Zhong Nan clenched the pagoda tightly and said nothing for a long time. Finally, he said in a low voice: "Why do you want to come back? You have already gone out, but in fact you don't need to come back."

Bai Qi closed his eyes and didn't answer.

Zhong Nan thought he was asleep, sighed, and also bent over to lie down.

Bai Qi said in a low voice: "Isn't it your wish to break the barrier? Besides, why should we be imprisoned here forever? I'm going against the destiny to try him. That man is right, No one is born noble! Isn't he?"

Zhong Nan didn't say any more, he felt that Bai Qi had changed, but he couldn't explain exactly where it changed.

Bai Qi said: "Outside, I also know a secret. This enchantment seal weakens every thousand years. Two years later, it will be the day when the seal needs to be strengthened again. Seize this opportunity, maybe... we can go out!"

Zhong Nan replied "Yes", and suddenly felt that there were too many things in his mind in one day.The outside world seems to be within reach.

On the second day, the two of them took the "soul-suppressing pagoda" full of souls to Guixu, and threw it into the pool. An ordinary stone.

The two waited at Guixu for three full days, but they still didn't get anything.

Zhong Nan comforted Bai Qi: "It's just a legend, I'm as naive as you and I actually believe it. Forget it, let's go back."

Bai Qi frowned and insisted on waiting there, but Zhong Nan couldn't help it, so he patted Bai Qi's shoulder and went back alone.

Four days later, Bai Qi led an eleven or twelve-year-old boy into the house.

Zhong Nan was stunned: "Where did you get this kid?"

Bai Qi understated: "I picked it up by the pond."

Zhong Nan and the boy stared at each other, feeling that the boy's indifferent expression of rejecting others thousands of miles away, and his silent demeanor of not being able to beat a fart with a stick were very similar to Bai Qi: "This child... Will it be your illegitimate child?"

"Bastard child?" Bai Qi poured water for himself: "I spend the longest time with you here, even if it's an illegitimate child, me and yours?"

Zhong Nan took the blame, stopped joking, and didn't take this little kid too seriously, but the peaceful two-person residence turned into a three-person family in an instant, and two years of peaceful life passed like this...

Two years later, when the barrier was weakened, the evil within the barrier was about to rush out of the barrier. The fairy who came to strengthen the seal fought hard, and finally the contradictions intensified, and a fairy tale that was recorded in the annals of history was staged. war.

Zhong Nan never expected that the little boy brought by Bai Qi back then, who had always been quiet, contained such a huge power in his body. He alone turned the tide of the defeat of the evil clan, and led the clan to fight in an orderly manner. Fight back, break through the enchantment.The Evil Clan respected him as their leader and called him "Nightmare Lord", and continued this devastating war for a long, long time...

Zhong Nan never expected that Bai Qi would die protecting the enemy and become a traitor to the evil clan.He didn't even see the body of his friend who had been with him for many years.I just heard that on that day, Lord Nightmare Shadow commanded the army led by Bai Qi, and met the heavenly soldiers and generals led by Lord Mu Bai from the heaven.

In fact, Nightmare Shadow set another ambush there, and Bai Qi's vanguard army was just a decoy. This battle was supposed to wipe out the entire army of the Immortal Realm. Unexpectedly, when the two armies met, Bai Qi temporarily rebelled and took the place of the Immortal Realm Army. Blocked the pre-set warlock, and said to Mu Bai Shangjun: "Go!" Mu Bai, who was already in a state of anger and fright, pierced Bai Qi's heart with a sword...

This will change the vicious army to panic, throwing away their helmets and armor and running quickly, and the slow ones staring at the current situation, so...

During that battle, the leader of the evil clan, "Nightmare Shadow Lord", also disappeared inexplicably, with no news at all.The army of defeating evil was greatly discouraged, Zhong Nan, the elder of the left of the clan, decided to preserve his strength, and led the remaining army into hiding.

The war of gods and demons finally ended with the victory of the fairy clan.

Chen Ye said: "You said, that little boy back then...was me?"

Zhong Nan nodded: "My clansmen and I hid in the world and kept looking for you, but we didn't hear anything about you until Le Ran met you in Bianzhou. I secretly inquired about your life experience, and suddenly realized that it must be Mu Bai who came from it." Get in the way."

Chen Ye said: "Since he knows that I am Nightmare Shadow, why didn't he kill me?"

Zhong Nan said in a low voice: "Who knows? Maybe it's because of Bai Qi...you have a bad conscience."

Chen Ye said: "Perhaps Mu Bai was the one who gave the Bai Qi sword back then?"

Zhong Nan said: "I don't know. During the years when Bai Qi walked out of the barrier alone, I didn't ask any more questions. Maybe only they themselves know best! It's just that they are both gone now. knew……"
