The sea of ​​suffering is boundless, it is me who turns back

59.

When Fu Ziqiu woke up, it was completely dark.

He sat up from the bed with a "squeak": "Long Xiao?"

There was only one lamp lit in the room, Fu Ziqiu looked intently, but Long Xiao was not there.

He got out of bed and poured himself a glass of water, the dry throat was moistened, and the blunted senses gradually recovered.

This sleep was too heavy, as if he was going to die, it was not his style at all.

Fu Ziqiu "tsk" a few times, calculated that it was not too late, so he went out to look for Long Xiao.

Ever since Long Xiao's death, Changxiao Palace has been sealed off, and no one else is allowed to get close to it except for the cleaners.It was also the first time for Fu Ziqiu to come here, but when he found Long Xiao's room and stood at the door with ease, he was a little surprised.

His sense of direction is also very good.

In the room, Long Xiao was shaking the rattle to play with Xiaodouzi. The girl slept all afternoon and half the night, and finally woke up in front of Fu Ziqiu.

Like an old father, Long Xiao fed her and wiped her face. In order to distract Xiaodouzi from his homesickness, he teased her for a long time with the gadgets sent by Long Yuan.The tired waist is almost paralyzed.

The laughter came to his ears, and Fu Ziqiu's heart softened, and he couldn't bear to disturb him.After standing outside the door for a while, Long Xiao was the first to notice someone outside, and opened the door with a flick of a finger: "Ziqiu?"

Long Xiao stuffed the rattle into Xiaodouzi's hands, and ran to the door in two or three steps: "Are you awake, are you hungry? When did you come here? Why are you standing at the door without making a sound?"

Fu Ziqiu cleared his throat: "No, seeing you guys having fun, I'm afraid it will spoil the atmosphere."

"Come in." Long Xiao pulled Fu Ziqiu into the room, there was still untouched food on the table: "Xiaodouzi has eaten, it was brought by Long Yuan at night, I haven't eaten yet, do you want to come together? "

"En." Fu Ziqiu sat down at the table, and Xiaodouzi swayed the rattle and climbed onto his lap.

"Beautiful brother!"

Fu Ziqiu picked up Xiaodouzi and let her sit on his lap: "Are you full?"

Xiaodouzi nodded obediently: "I'm full, handsome uncle has a lot of delicious food, it's exhausting me."

Fu Ziqiu frowned, and looked at Long Xiao vigilantly: "Handsome uncle, you?"

"Ah." Long Xiao responded, and handed Fu Ziqiu a pair of chopsticks: "I didn't praise myself, she just called me handsome."

"No, why do you call me brother and your uncle?"

"It's not appropriate to call me brother." Long Xiao sat down beside Fu Ziqiu: "At my age, it would be good if I didn't let her call ancestor."

Fu Ziqiu was speechless: "You are too modest! You stand with Long Yuan, he is more like your brother!"

"Really?" Long Xiao looked at Fu Ziqiu suspiciously: "You said that because you were afraid that I would take advantage of you, don't worry, Xiaodouzi called uncle, but didn't let you call."

"Little Douzi." Fu Ziqiu shifted his target: "You can either call him my uncle or his brother, you choose one."

The little girl had never encountered such a complicated problem at such a young age, and her tangled face was wrinkled.

Long Xiao couldn't stand it anymore, and wanted to pull Xiaodouzi over: "You really are, why are you embarrassing the child?"

"You started." Fu Ziqiu hugged Xiaodouzi and encouraged him: "Douer, choose one of the two, it's very simple."

Xiaodouzi rested his chin on his hands, and said seriously: "You adults are too complicated! Beautiful brother, handsome uncle, I don't care, I'll just call like that!"

After finishing speaking, she sloppily crawled down Fu Ziqiu's calf, holding the rattle away from the "battlefield".

"...you come back to me."

Long Xiao stopped Fu Ziqiu: "Okay, eat quickly."

Fu Ziqiu was a little depressed: "Anyway, I hugged her for a day, so I don't have any advantage at all."

"Then I've served her till now, no credit but hard work." Long Xiao put a chicken leg in Fu Ziqiu's bowl: "Eat it while it's hot."

"Children nowadays know how to judge people by their appearance at such a young age." Fu Ziqiu threw the chicken leg to Long Xiao: "I don't eat meat."

"Oh." Long Xiao glanced at the table, almost every dish was big meat, he put down his chopsticks: "I was patronizing Xiaodouzi, and forgot to tell Long Yuan to cook something you like, I'll fry it again Let's have a dish."

"Hey, don't bother." Fu Ziqiu grabbed Long Xiao's cuff and pulled him back: "I'm not very hungry, just eat a couple of bites, it's no trouble."

"but……"

Fu Ziqiu smiled: "Besides, are you cooking?"

After he finished speaking, he paused, subconsciously mistaking Long Xiao for Gu Zhizhou.

Seeing his expression, Long Xiao understood, sat back slowly, and said softly, "I don't know how to cook either."

Fu Ziqiu took a piece of chili and chewed it in his mouth, the smile on his face became helpless: "I ate Gu Zhizhou a bowl of longevity noodles on my 19th birthday, and I almost didn't see the sun the next day."

Long Xiao pursed his lips, and the corners of his naturally upturned mouth were drawn into a strict line.

He stared blankly at the table full of food, and his memory gradually drifted away——

Once, on a whim, Dijun, who held only a pen and a sword with his ten fingers, came out of the kitchen for the first time, and made a bowl of sesame glutinous rice balls confidently.

His little blue bird especially likes to eat sweet and glutinous ones, lying on the pillow all night, chirping and twittering that he wants to eat glutinous rice balls, the kind that he can't help.

In the middle of the night, there were not many palace people serving in Changxiao Palace, so they all fell asleep at this time.

Long Xiao got a headache from his noise, so he put on some clothes and went to the kitchen himself.

Seeing this posture, Qingniao thought that he was a good cook, and sat on the bed with full expectation, waiting to eat.

After a long time, the well-dressed Dijun on weekdays came back with a face full of flour and handed him a bowl of glutinous rice balls.Qingniao poked his head and took a look. The glutinous rice balls were even in size, and all of them looked good. He was so happy that he took a spoon and swallowed one unceremoniously.

Then it misfired.

I don't know how much sugar Long Xiao poured into it, it was so sweet that his face wrinkled.

Qingniao quickly vomited, pinched his waist and yelled: "Did you do it on purpose, Long! To retaliate, I called you to get up in the middle of the night to make glutinous rice balls, right! If you want my life, you just do it, why are you turning this corner! "

Dijun felt that his reaction was too exaggerated, mostly acting, so he ate one half-believingly.

Since then he has never been in the kitchen again.

The sound of Xiaodouzi shaking the rattle drum, the "sizzling" sound of the burning fuse of the candle, and the sound of light breathing lingering in the ear.

Long Xiao couldn't help pinching the chopsticks in his hand, and the rice fell on the table unconsciously.

It turned out that only one person remembered such hard work.

He guarded the memories of his two lifetimes, watching helplessly as his former lover went crazy and longed for another self.

Is he too greedy?

That day in Maitreya City, when Fu Ziqiu said that he would use himself to seal the demon, he was still thinking that they hadn't even had a decent meal.

Now they had a decent meal, but Long Xiao felt that he wanted more.

He not only wanted to be Fu Ziqiu's Gu Zhizhou, but also his former Long Xiao.

As soon as this idea popped up, Long Xiao stuffed them back hard, knocking and beating.

He can't be so greedy. In the past, he made a big mistake because he wanted too much. He can't go the same way again when he lives again. He has to be grateful.

If it wasn't for Gu Zhizhou, the one who died would be Fu Ziqiu.Even if he wasn't struck to death by lightning, he should have died to suppress the inner demons and exhaust his cultivation.

No matter how you look at it, this opportunity seems to have been stolen from God.After all, before this, no one would have thought that Gu Zhizhou was a remnant of Long Xiao.

Long Xiao swallowed a mouthful of air mixed with ice balls, which pierced his internal organs with pain.

This kind of pain can keep him awake and tell him not to be delusional.

Xiaodouzi was probably tired from playing, and there was no movement at the moment.Long Xiao stretched his neck to look, and found that she was asleep again.

When he sat back, Long Xiao realized that there was an extra piece of white fish in his bowl.

Fu Ziqiu met his surprised eyes: "Why, don't you eat fish that are not from Fanyun Valley?"

"No, I'll eat all fish." Long Xiao suppressed the distracting thoughts in his mind, and squeezed out a bit of relief: "Our Shenlong doesn't pick any species."

Fu Ziqiu brought another rib and said, "Shenlong, let me have another rib."

Long Xiao blocked it with chopsticks: "Don't give me so much, I don't want to eat meat either."

Fu Ziqiu ignored him, pressed the chopsticks hard and put the ribs into Long Xiao's bowl: "Eat more, you're too thin."

Long Xiao's eating style was very good, and he ate slowly. When he dropped his chopsticks, there were a dozen grains of crystal clear and plump rice on the tip of the chopsticks. It should be a habit he had developed since he was a child.

After eating, Long Xiao settled Xiaodouzi down, and went out with Fu Ziqiu to eat and drink.

Changxiao Palace is no less than before, there are fewer palace attendants, and it is even colder than back then.Long Xiao walked all the way, and lit the palace lanterns along the way with his spiritual power. The warm light approached the darkness, illuminating the way forward.

"Ziqiu, let me ask you, did you send a message to the heavens on the day when one hundred thousand evil spirits escaped from the realm of gods and ghosts?"

Fu Ziqiu nodded: "After sealing Maitreya City, I asked Changle to report the incident to Jiuchongtian. After all, one hundred thousand evil spirits is not a trivial matter. If the realm of gods and ghosts cannot be trapped, the heavens should arrange their troops before then." Contain in time."

"But today Chu Cheng said that he didn't receive any letter at that time, only a message saying, 'Master Shura is bringing ghost soldiers to make trouble, please go to the realm of ghosts and ghosts to clean up quickly.'"

Fu Ziqiu stopped in his tracks: "Is Chu Cheng's words believable?"

Long Xiao said: "I tend to be credible."

Fu Ziqiu paused: "Changle will not betray me."

"I know." Long Xiao glanced at him, and then walked forward: "You Shura Dao, except for Jiuge, have all received the soul washing technique... You have already thought about it, the one who released the evil spirits and broke the seal of Maitreya City that day The person is her."

Fu Ziqiu's eyes darkened: "Well, I knew it at the time. I just didn't expect that Jiu Ge would do such a thing."

"It's hard to think about it," Long Xiao said with a look of understanding: "She likes you and misses you in her heart, but she can't get you. At this time, the demon jumped out and told her: I can help you, as long as you Let me out, and I can give you everything you want. Girls who lose their minds because of love are easy to deceive, so they are used by others."

Fu Ziqiu was a little embarrassed: "It seems to be true."

"Is it good?" Long Xiao said, "That's how Yanniang's inner demons came about. I experienced it and saw it with my own eyes."

Fu Ziqiu keenly grasped the opportunity to inquire, and immediately asked: "Did you experience it during the three months when you were imprisoned by Yin Chi?"

Suddenly, Long Xiao's gentle facial contours became firm, and his breathing rhythm subconsciously accelerated.At that moment, he seemed to be plunged into a deep dream, and his whole body was full of vigilance.

Fu Ziqiu's heart shuddered, and just as he was about to say something, the tension in Long Xiao's body suddenly dissipated.He blinked and returned to his original appearance twice.

"Too far," Long Xiao avoided the question a little bluntly: "Since you believe in Chang Le, and I also think that Chu Cheng is not lying, then there is only a third possibility, someone intercepted your message to the heaven in the middle .”

Fu Ziqiu stared at him for a while before looking away, and asked cooperatively, "Do you have anyone you suspect?"

"Have."

"I have a suspect, too."

Long Xiao tilted his head and raised his eyebrows lightly: "Tell me."

"Crouching Dragon's Tears." Fu Ziqiu said: "In order to revive you, the heart demon obtained the Emperor's Bone and Wolong's Tears successively. Among them, the Tianzi's Bone molded the flesh and bones, and the Crouching Dragon's Tears gathered blood. After Tianhai lost a Crouching Dragon's Tears, I asked the sea Dragon King, he said that only the crouching dragon's tears that have been condensed within a day can have this effect. That day in the underground palace, the longan returned to its place and gave birth to Longquan. In addition to us, Hailong King, Qi Wu and Yan Yun were present. And at that time..."

——Yan Yun took a step behind: "Grandpa Long, the veil has fallen." He squatted down and then stood up again, shaking the veil in his hand: "This is for you, you have to take care of yourself."

"If I hadn't guessed, it was Crouching Dragon Tears that he took when he knelt down to pick up the handkerchief. Afterwards, in order to divert attention, he deliberately took one from Sea Dragon King."

Long Xiao shook his head: "Smartness is misunderstood by cleverness. What Yan Yun doesn't know is that the underground palace is a place where Sea Dragon King won't enter once every 800 years. If he just takes it from the underground palace and leaves, he won't be discovered at all."

Fu Ziqiu said: "It's up to you."

Long Xiao asked: "Do you still remember Tian Wen's appearance?"

Fu Ziqiu thought about it intently, and realized something was wrong: "I forgot, it's so vague."

Long Xiao said: "When I first saw him, I thought it was strange. Tianwen's appearance is too ordinary, and his facial features are not recognizable at all. It seems that he can catch a lot of people in the crowd, but in fact, he can't find a second one. Now that I think about it, his face should have been deliberately made to prevent others from remembering him. Also, his voice is hoarse and unpleasant, and it seems to be leaking in his throat, which is also intentional."

Fu Ziqiu pondered for a moment, and expressed his conjecture: "A person's appearance can be changed by illusion, but a person's voice is difficult to disguise. He did this because he was afraid that we would recognize his identity when we heard the voice, so this person should be us. people I know."

"Those who were present at that time, you, me, Qi Wu and Yan Yun, the day we first met Tianwen, we rescued Chen Puyu and went back to the inn at night, but one of them was not there."

Fu Ziqiu narrowed his eyes, and the memory came along with the voice: "That night, Chen Puyu slept in your room, and you slept in..."

"Yan Yun."

Long Xiao said: "As soon as Tian Wen appeared, Yan Yun was called back to the Heavenly Palace. What a coincidence. And when I saw Tian Wen's walking posture at that time, I always felt a little familiar, until the day when I went to Qinghuanzhou Library, when Yan Yun left Back view..."

"In this way, there is another problem that can be solved." Fu Ziqiu unconsciously turned the ring between his fingers: "After leaving Yanyun's place, we bumped into several elders of Yulian Peak as soon as we entered the sword gate. "

"That's right. They took the wrong medicine that day, and they were as relentless as if they didn't think it was a big enough problem. If you hadn't stopped me, I would have done it right then."

Fu Ziqiu pulled the corner of his mouth and sneered: "They want you to do it, so that the death of those two elders will be more convincing."

Long Xiao stopped in his tracks, turned around and leaned against the stone pillar by the corridor: "That's why I got the testimony of Jing Chen, who said that he saw me committing murder with his own eyes. If he guessed right, he and Yan Yun were also in the same gang." Yes, when we left Qinghuan Continent, Yan Yun told Jing An about the whereabouts, and Jing An led several elders from Yulian Peak to pass by."

"Everything is going according to their expectations," Fu Ziqiu stood opposite Long Xiao: "They want your life."

Long Xiao paused, and corrected him: "It's Gu Zhizhou's life."

Fu Ziqiu responded: "The robbing of Lian Sheng is also part of their plan. Using your discord with Gao Xun and Chu Cheng to frame you for collusion with the monster clan, Chu Cheng's personality will definitely push you into the underworld." Xinggong, when the time comes, there will be a big punishment, if you accidentally kill you, there will be no suspicion, and they can get Nilin from others without any worries."

Long Xiao chuckled and said, "But what they didn't expect was that you would come to save me. Moreover, the Heavenly Emperor favored me. Instead of ordering me to be arrested, he let me stay in the Asura Way."

"So the heart demons used Jiuge to release a hundred thousand evil spirits. They also intercepted my message to the heavens halfway, catalyzing the conflict between the Celestial Clan and the Shura Dao. Their original intention should be to make us fight, you Together with me, you will be convicted of 'rebellion', and then I will not be able to protect myself, nor will the Emperor of Heaven protect you."

"My seal in the hell way is enough to trap the demons forever. But because of a piece of reverse scale, it took away a few strands of my soul, causing the seal to loosen. The demons struggled for 800 years. Gu Zhizhou died, and the seal was broken by the earthquake. To be able to escape."

"But..." Fu Ziqiu frowned: "The heart demon is trapped in hell, how did he control so many people, and how did he set up this net?"

Long Xiao's voice softened, and with the help of the lights in front of him, he outlined a half-smiling face: "Perhaps, there are still people behind to contribute to the flames." He sighed softly, turned around, and put his slender arms on the on the fence.

His body was leaning forward slightly, a posture that seemed relaxed and casual.Below the line of sight is the undercurrent of the river, shining brightly under the moonlight and palace lanterns: "Let Lian Sheng go that day is enough to blame me, why bother to kill Gao Xun? Murdering immortal friends and privately releasing demons The king's charges are different."

Fu Ziqiu suddenly opened his eyes wide: "You mean, there is another person playing a bigger game of chess behind his back, and including the demons, they are all chess pieces in his hands?"

"Just guessing."

Long Xiao tilted his head, his side face was hidden in the shadow cast by the stone pillar, only the crystal clear river water reflected the light in his eyes: "This man didn't have any blood on his hands, but he counted everyone. I After thinking about it, either I killed too much in my previous life, and the ancestors of his family were all dead souls under my sword, and they took such pains to help me reborn, most likely they want to show my inner demons in front of the world, and ruin my noble and happy people. De, by the way, avenge blood."

"But this doesn't make sense. First, if he is looking for revenge, then this person must be a member of the demon clan. But what we can confirm now is that this person should have come from the heavens to enter and leave the Division of Discipline. Second, knowing that Gu Zhizhou The relationship with me, since you want to take revenge, kill him directly and destroy Ni Lin, and then expose the heart demon to the world, wouldn't you be more sure of success?" Long Xiao laughed twice: "Resurrect me, and want to kill me again , this dream is too beautiful."

The corner of Fu Ziqiu's mouth twitched, he had a premonition that this man had nothing good to say.Sure enough, the next moment I heard Long Xiao say: "In the Three Realms, no one seems to be my opponent except for the demons. If he wants me to live or die, where did he get the confidence to think that he can kill me? "

Some people have this kind of ability, even if his tone is flat and his expression is light, the pride and self-confidence in his bones cannot be concealed at all.

A kind of madness that was completely opposite to Long Xiao's gentle temperament, which made people unable to look away.

But Fu Ziqiu still didn't give face: "I know you are good, so don't emphasize it."

"Ah, then there is only the second possibility." Long Xiao looked at Fu Ziqiu with a smile on his face: "He has something to ask of me."

Indeed, if it wasn't for seeking revenge and trying his best to bring about Long Xiao's resurrection, there must be something that must be done to him.

Fu Ziqiu nodded in agreement, leaned against the railing with his back, raised his toes slightly, and pointed briskly on the ground: "Guess who it is?"

"I don't want to guess."

"how?"

Long Xiao put his hands on his hips and twisted left and right: "If you ask me for something, I have to guess here and there. It doesn't make sense."

Fu Ziqiu smiled, the arm hanging by his side was knocked back and forth by Long Xiao's movements, he took half a step to the side: "Look at it."

Long Xiao turned around with his waist on his back: "It's not good now, I just played with Xiaodouzi for a while at night and my waist collapsed."

Fu Ziqiu glanced at his waist: "Back pain?"

"It's not painful, it's just... a little sore." Long Xiao hammered his waist twice: "It's really embarrassing for me. The old with old arms and legs still needs to take care of the child. You can play with her tomorrow."

Fu Ziqiu paused, and stepped behind Long Xiao.
