Sheriff, give me a smile~

Li Xian raised his right hand and looked at the Yuanhun Orb in his hand. The bead was dim in his hand: "This Yuanhun Orb is a sacred object in Qingqiu. It is said that it has the power of heaven and earth, and it is compatible with the previous fox kings. The fox king The bead was impregnated with blood, and this bead also gave the Fox King even stronger power."

Li Xian smiled, his eyes full of self-mockery: "But Yuanhun Orb has spirituality, and it will not serve you just because you are a fox king. It only chooses a host that suits its physique. Therefore, every fox king, through Yuanhun After all, the fox king who possesses the Yuanhun orb has the power to shock the world."

"When the son of the Fox King becomes an adult, he can use a blood-covered bead to see if he is compatible with it. If he is compatible, he will be the next Fox King. If he is not compatible..."

Li Bai held the umbrella handle tightly: "That's all."

Li Xian looked up at him expressionlessly: "I sacrificed my life to the bead, melted the blood of the royal family into the bead, and laid the foundation for the next fox king. This is, choosing a son."

Li Bai's pupils shrank.

Li Xian said again: "Didn't you find a strange phenomenon when you looked through the genealogy, only one of the direct descendants of the Qingqiu royal family can live beyond the age of twenty, and the rest all died of various strange reasons. "

Li Bai strengthened his mind: "I have never heard of the saying that there is such a thing as a soul bead to choose a child in the past 20 years. How do you know?"

Li Xian sneered: "This is an internal matter of the royal family. The ordinary people in Qingqiu definitely don't know about it. But in the royal family, if the father deliberately suppresses the news, how would you know? As for me... the father told me yesterday."

Silence for a while.

"Why does such a cruel sacrifice continue to be used?" Li Bai lowered his eyes.

Li Xian looked at him, with a hint of sarcasm in his eyes: "Because we are demon seeds. What is a demon seed, Li Bai, do you understand?"

The last three words hit Li Bai's heart hard, Li Bai's hand holding the umbrella handle trembled, and it was difficult to breathe for a while.

"Oh, you really..."

It was obviously a mocking tone, but Li Bai could clearly see the softness in his eyes.

Falling into silence again, both of them lowered their eyes in silence.

The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and the sound of the raindrops falling was very clear.

On weekdays, Li Bai loved rainy days very much, but now he just felt cold when he heard the sound of rain.

There was a faint guess in my heart, and I couldn't breathe under the pressure.

This coming-of-age ceremony is really sad.

Li Bai twitched the corner of his mouth stiffly.

Born in Qingqiu, grew up in Qingqiu, and bears the fate of going to Qingqiu.

Lay the foundation of the king with flesh and blood?

If he died like this...

Li Bai slowly closed his eyes, as if seeing the Onmyoji gently hugging him back when he was 15 years old.

Then never see him again.

It's really... I can't bear it.

"So Ah Xian, are you here to kill me today?"

Li Bai opened his eyes.

Li Xian looked at him with a half-smile: "If I say yes, will you give me your life?"

"I..." Li Bai squirmed his lower lip, and the onmyoji's eyebrows and eyes were repeated in his mind, too attached: "I don't want to give it."

Li Xian laughed loudly: "I'm really confused, who would want to give their life to another person for no reason."

Li Xian laughed more and more crazily, tears came out of his laughter.

Li Bai had never seen him lose his composure like this before. He opened his mouth, but because his heart was heavy, he didn't say anything.

Finally, Li Xian finally stopped, and he said in a low voice: "I don't want to give it either, but I have to."

Li Bai was taken aback: "What?"

Li Xian smiled sadly: "Li Bai, you are the one chosen by Yuanhunzhu, not me."

Seeing Li Bai stunned, Li Xian raised Li Bai's hand and cut his palm with an air blade, and blood flowed out.Li Xian put the Yuanhun Orb in his hand, and the originally dim Yuanhun Orb emitted a faint purple light, sucking all the blood from Li Bai's hand.

"You were chosen by Yuanhunzhu, the next Fox King."

Li Bai's hand holding Yuanhunzhu was almost unsteady, his lips turned pale: "So Ah Xian, you..."

Li Xian smiled wearily: "Today, I will give you my life, and you must not fail my expectations."

Li Bai stuffed the Yuanhun Orb back into Li Xian's hands, and said in an unsteady tone: "I don't want this throne, let alone your life. You are so capable, I still don't believe you can't do anything without this Yuanhun Orb." .”

Li Xian looked at him and smiled again: "Li Bai, why are you still so naive."

Li Bai looked into his eyes and said seriously: "If being mature and calm can only make people fall into this terrible darkness, I would rather be naive all my life."

Li Xian was silent for a moment, and then slowly said: "When I was very young, I have always been with you and was raised by my father as a successor. My qualifications are far superior to yours. Everyone, including my father, is optimistic about me. I also think that I will be the next Fox King."

"I often think that you are not suitable to be a king with such a wanton and unrestrained temperament, and you don't know how to behave in power and politics. For your Jiang Tian feelings, let go of whatever you want, I will protect you."

"The succession of the throne has never been without blood and rain. I am very glad that there is a brother like you who is indifferent to fame and fortune and does not fight with me."

"Yes, I just want the throne, I just like power, and I am more suitable for power than you, am I not? After experiencing the feeling of standing at the pinnacle of power and looking down on everything, it is difficult to be a nobody who is dominated by others." .At least I do.”

"Li Bai, do you think that I have been too good to you all these years? There is a brotherhood, but the more important problem is that you don't fight with me."

"If you dare to fight with me, I will never show mercy to you."

Just because of a throne?

Li Bai suddenly felt very tired, and his whole body seemed to be exhausted.

Li Xian continued: "But I didn't expect that there would be such a thing as Yuanhunzhu choosing a child."

He smiled self-deprecatingly: "It turns out that everything has already been predetermined by fate, and I was born to be your stepping stone. No matter how hard I work, how capable and how talented I am, it's useless."

"Life is for death, Li Bai, I hate it so much."

"It's me who is the most talented emperor, isn't it? I'm the one who worked the hardest for so many years, isn't it? Obviously... this is the ending that everyone in Qingqiu thinks is right? I thought that as long as I can do it, I can be sure of winning, but in the end ...that's really just what I thought."

Li Xian looked at Li Bai and laughed, his eye circles slowly turned red: "I hate this fate, and I hate you too."

"Li Bai, why wasn't you the one who died?"

The softest part of my heart seemed to be pierced by something sharp, and the blood flowed out along the gap, mixing with the rainwater, creating a chaotic mess.

Li Bai said with a slightly hoarse voice: "So Ah Xian...does you want me to die?"

"Don't call me Axian!" Li Xian yelled with red eyes, and grabbed Li Bai's collar: "Li Bai, what are you doing, what are you doing!"

Li Bai let him grab him and didn't move: "If you are the one chosen by Yuanhunzhu, will you kill me?"

"meeting."

A decisive answer, without the last shred of expectation.

Some people are like a knife hidden in a scabbard. When you touch the scabbard, you think it is gentle, but when you take it out, you find that it is sharp enough to kill.

Li Bai twitched the corner of his mouth: "It turns out that I am so insignificant in your heart."

Li Xian let go of him and looked away from his face: "I can't help it."

"Axian..." Li Bai said in a low voice.

"Do it." Li Xian interrupted him.

Li Bai shook his head: "No."

"Do it."

"Do not."

"I'll let you do it!" Li Xian roared.

"I said no!" Li Bai also became angry, threw his umbrella, and yelled at Li Xian: "Listen Li Xian, I don't care about this throne. Whoever wants it will want it! It is in my eyes." Li Xian is worthless, and thousands of thrones are not as good as one Li Xian!"

Li Xian looked at Li Bai quietly for a while, then suddenly uttered two words: "Fool."

"I've always been a fool, don't you know?" The rain blurred the young man's brows and eyes, but Li Xian felt that his face at this moment was very clear in his heart.

Suddenly he reached out and hugged him.

Li Bai was taken aback for a moment, and slowly hugged the man back: "Axian..."

"I'm not here in the future, so take good care of yourself. You have to learn a lot of things, don't be as foolish as before, no one will help you anymore."

"Don't be stupid all the time, I will worry."

"real."

Li Xian's voice rang beside his ears, low and slow, as if he had exhausted all his gentleness for a lifetime.

He has always been a duplicity person, no matter how much he likes someone in his heart, no matter how much he cares about someone, he will not express it tenderly.

Only ridicule, indifference, criticism, and an imperceptible smile when others turn around.

But those who are familiar with him can know his mind with just one glance.

He is deeper than the sea.

Slowly letting go of Li Bai, he reached out and peeled off the rain-soaked hair on Li Bai's forehead.His eyes were full of gentle sadness.

Li Bai began to panic, Li Xian had never been so gentle to him.Grabbing Li Xian's hand, Li Bai's tone was trembling: "Axian, what are you going to do?"

Li Xian smiled: "Yesterday my father told me that if you don't go to sacrifice the beads yourself, don't blame Gu for not remembering the love between father and son, and do it yourself, and you don't even want to escape, because you will definitely not be able to escape. Me too Only then did I realize that I was so worthless in his heart. Heh...it's really unbelievable."

"Instead of being killed by him, I might as well do it myself."

"There is Qiming in the east, and you can look at the sun and go to be Taibai. You act recklessly and freely, vertically and horizontally, compared to the stars, why not use the word Taibai."

"Men in the world have relatives and elders who will take their names for them when they become adults. I have the right to follow their example and give you a word. It is a coming-of-age gift for you."

Li Xian looked at him quietly, opened his mouth as if to say a thousand words, but in the end he only uttered two words: "Take care."

Li Xian took a few steps back and sacrificed his sword.

Li Bai was shocked, and stepped forward to stop him: "Ah Yin, don't want it!"

With a wave of Li Xian's long sword, the sword energy burst out, knocking Li Bai back a few steps and fell to the altar.

Li Bai spat out a mouthful of blood, and when he tried to get up again, he lost his strength. He stretched out his hand: "Axian, don't...I don't want you to die..."

Li Xian glanced at him, his eyes seemed to be unbearable, he closed his eyes and stabbed the sword straight into the heart.

"Axian!" Li Bai yelled, his mind was broken, he struggled to get up, but fell down again when he got up, the rain soaked his whole body, he was in a panic.

Blood spat out from his mouth again, and he could no longer stand up.

Li Bai crawled over with difficulty, moving inch by inch.

Li Bai struggled to look up at Li Xian, but that person never gave him another look.

Ashes.

Li Bai's outstretched hand froze in the air.

That person, and his sword, turned into smoke and merged into the soul orb.

The primordial soul beads in the ground exude bursts of light, as if to signify new life.

Li Bai picked it up and smiled miserably.

Aren't you a holy thing? If it's a holy thing, why do you want so many people's lives, why... and his life.

Where is your saint?

The rainwater hit the beads, and the raindrops slid down the beads.

Like the tears of a sad man.
