After leaving Piaomu Jialan, the two came out together and walked on the mountain path.Jiu Lanshu's face was always serious.

Finally, he opened his mouth softly, asking very seriously.

"Zui Shengling, I'm sure you didn't hear our conversation just now, so how do you know that I have something to ask him?"

"You want to tell the truth?" Zhui Shengling raised his brows and turned his head to ask.

"Of course!" Jiu Lanshu was obviously displeased with his perfunctory.

however……

"Guess!" Zhui Sheng uttered such irresponsible words at the next moment.

"You—" Jiu Lanshu became even more annoyed. "Are you playing with me, Cone Shengling?"

"I'm not kidding you!" Zhui Shengling had already begun to feel helpless, "I really guessed, because at that time, on the way we came, you were clearly preoccupied, and you always-- looked hesitant. This shows that you are thinking about it in your heart." You are going to do a certain thing, weigh the importance, because you have a lot of uncertainty about the upcoming result!"

"What does that mean?"

"This is a gesture of begging for help, Jiu Lanshu, which shows that you also feel that the matter is very difficult! You know that you should not say something, but the facts force you to do it. That's why you show such a Look, because, in your heart, you know better than anyone else that you are trying to make things difficult for others!"

"Then how are you sure I didn't succeed?"

"It's very simple, because when you walked out with him, your brows were slightly frowned, your eyes were gloomy, and you looked depressed and unwilling. How could it be that your wish has been granted?"

Jiu Lanshu finally became completely surprised, and looked at him with wide eyes, "So, you have been paying attention to me?"

Zhui Shengling was taken aback for a moment, choked for words, touched his nose in embarrassment, and turned his head away in the next second.

It was rare to see such a conical life, Jiu Lanshu didn't ask any more questions, but looked at him, and then laughed happily.

Jiu Lanshu suddenly became interested in watching the sunrise, so he took Zhui Shengling to the top of the mountain together.Both of them walked very fast, so they reached the peak in a short while, standing on the edge of the cliff and looking forward.

The east is not white, and there is still a while before sunrise, so the two of them just stand one behind the other, Zhui Shengling can only see the back of Jiu Lanshu, and the two sides are silent.However, this time, the two seemed to be silent for a long, long time.

Neither of them spoke, perhaps because both of them were too cautious, or more likely, because there were too many questions hidden in each other's hearts, and in the end, they didn't know how to open the mouth.

"you--"

After struggling for a long time, the two finally spoke at the same time. After looking at each other, they both fell silent at the same time and sighed secretly.

"You should ask first!" Cone Shengling gave in generously.

Jiu Lanshu was not polite to him, but suddenly cast his gaze into the distant darkness, in the depths of his eyes, there was a faint light flickering slightly, very bright, cunning but deep.

"Why did you help them?" He suddenly asked the same question as Piaomu Jialan.

Zhui Shengling frowned slightly, fell silent for a while, and then replied with some surprise: "I seem to have already answered this question? What are you doubting?!"

Where no one was looking, Jiu Lanshu's lips curled up into a slight smile, but his tone did not change at all: "So, what you just said is the truth? Then, can I think so, You chose to help him because of me?"

Saying the answer so bluntly is completely different from the feeling hidden in my heart.Zhui Shengling was slightly taken aback, not daring to deny it, but he didn't want to admit it for a while, so he could only blink his eyes and fell silent for a while.

Jiu Lanshu stared into his eyes, seeing that he hadn't answered or pressed questions, but turned his head back again.

Soon, his clear and sweet voice floated with the wind again, it didn't seem harsh, heavy, or cold, as if it wasn't anything special, but it was—very sad, very sad, very deep, and sounded far away.

"Actually, I know what you want to ask! However, what I want to tell you is that there are some things that you need to remember yourself! Even if you ask, I won't say it, and more likely, you won't go to it at all. Choose to believe!! I think, am I right?"

His tone was very firm, Zhui Shengling sighed lightly, indeed, he couldn't refute anything.

"All I can tell you is what I am willing to say, for example, the real purpose of my appearance by your side!"

Zhui Shengling frowned slightly, as if he understood something for a moment, "Why do you have to----"

But Jiu Lanshu suddenly interrupted him, snorting slightly, "Is it difficult for you to make a choice? But I don't want to, and I can't wait any longer!"

He finally said those words easily.

"The purpose of my visit this time is very simple—to make you fall in love with me, or to make you kill me!! You can only choose one of the two! I'm actually curious, how will you choose?!! Cone born zero! Here and now, I need you to give me an answer!!"

The moment the words came out of his mouth, he suddenly turned his head and looked over with sharp and resolute eyes.But at this moment, the sun just jumped out on the distant mountain top, and the red glow spread across the earth in an instant, as if it had been a long time, and it seemed like a moment, the sky was full of light, and it suddenly poured down on the earth.He actually enveloped his whole body in this boundless brilliance.

Noble, domineering, and unparalleled! !

Cone Shengling narrowed his eyes and his mind was shaken, but he still asked seriously: "You—are you never willing to leave any retreat for yourself?"

Jiu Lanshu's voice was slightly cold, a little self-deprecating, but he answered without hesitation. "Yes! I believe you also know that in my position, I am destined to live in the vortex of conspiracy and calculation. Either I will be counted dead by others, or I will be counted dead by others, and we will burn each other. There is always no way out for others or ourselves!! So, what I leave you now is the same way! Have you thought about it yet?"

The stream was shrouded in clouds and mist, bottomless, and the strong wind blew, messing each other's hair.

The two stood facing each other, motionless for a long time, each other looked solemn and determined.

The mountain wind is bitter, and almost an instant is eternity.After a long time, Zhui Shengling finally couldn't help letting out a soft sigh, "You know! If we were back then, we might have left a deep impression on each other, but now, I don't remember anything. This It should be very unfair to you, so what are you still obsessed with?"

"What do you think Jialan and Ah Rou are obsessed with each other? Obviously, once they enter reincarnation, they both become two other people completely, and neither of them knows the other. What's the use?"

Zhui Shengling was slightly taken aback, but he heard him say again: "So, this attachment is just because, at this moment, at this moment, at this second, we are still each other! So, why should I give up?"

Yes, live in the moment.At this moment, surrounded by mountains and rivers, we only need to be happy with each other.Then everything should not be feared.Because of this view of life and death, there is no need to inquire about the origin, and there is no need to lead into the future. It just needs to be firmly held in the palm of your hand, and it is enough to obey your heart.

But, the question is, do I really like him?Cone Shengling suddenly felt somewhat uncertain.He has always been good at detecting people's hearts, but the strange feeling rising in his heart now is indescribable and unprecedented.So, inexplicably, he suddenly hesitated.

But just as he lowered his brows and eyes to think seriously, the person opposite turned his head away again, and suddenly said a very inexplicable sentence with his back turned to him.

"Have you ever heard a sentence?"

"Ok?"

"Born in Lanchuan, died in Qinshan!"

"What do you mean?"

"Lanchuan is located in the middle of the mainland, with the most pleasant climate, the most abundant products, and the most suitable place for human life, so it is the place most people yearn for to live in! But this Qinshan Mountain is only because of a kind of flower, so it--famous The world!!"

"Oh? What's that?" He hadn't heard much about the customs and culture of these continents, so he was a little curious for a while.

"Xuesi Binglan!" Jiu Lanshu said, "It is almost a kind of flower that exists in legends - it only grows on the cliffs in its life, and once it grows and blooms, it will last a lifetime, always blooming and invincible. It is said that It is noble and proud by nature, and cannot be defiled by mortals. Once it leaves its branches, it will wither and turn into ashes in just a moment. Therefore, it symbolizes an eternal and resolute vow!"

"People say that life should be vigorous and vigorous, and death should not be content with mediocrity! Therefore, when life is about to end, if you can witness the grand occasion of flowers falling and nothingness, you should not A group of mortals!"

Cone Shengling frowned slightly, and suddenly had a bad feeling!

Jiu Lanshu continued, "You have never been a person who is easy to be controlled, like the wind, no one can see where you came from, and no one can guess where you are going, let alone People can catch you! Let you stay in one place willingly—you have always been able to easily see through everyone's heart, but how much do you know about your own heart? So now, I suddenly want to help you try Give it a try!"

"So, Cone Shengling!" He suddenly looked back at him seriously, his eyes full of determination, "You must remember one sentence—"

"The one who came! Is willing to gamble and admit defeat!!"

The sound was sonorous, and the mountains were solemn for a while.And in the next second, he had completely disappeared before his eyes!

"Jiu Lanshu! You madman!!——"
