Zhu He

After Chang Jiaci finished asking, he didn't hear Dong Qinghe's answer right away, only seeing the other party's face returning late, as if there was something unspeakable hidden.

Chang Jiaci curled his lips and smiled: "It seems that the Qinghemen, which is famous all over the world, has a family ugliness that is not convenient for me, an 'outsider', to know, so that's okay."

As he spoke, he wanted to brush Dong Qinghe's hand off the bed to get his own baggage, but Dong Qinghe hugged him back before his buttocks were lifted from the bed.

"It's not unspeakable..." Dong Qinghe half-pressed Chang Jiaci and explained, "It's just that there are deep entanglements here, and it's hard to explain in a few words."

Chang Jiaci snorted coldly: "Isn't it just the nonsense of being a demon cultivator? If you like to talk or not, there are so many nonsense."

Dong Qinghe was surprised: "How do you know?"

"There is no impenetrable wall in the world. The master of the east gate really expects to be able to hide it from everyone?"

Listening to Chang Jiaci's mocking words, Dong Qinghe sighed: "I never wanted to hide it from everyone. There should be nothing to hide about Yuan Xiu. He does have some connections with Moxiu, but a person His origin cannot be changed, and it is not his fault."

"Is he really the son of Moxiu? I heard that Qiu Muwang picked him up?"

"Yes."

"where is it?"

"At half round peak."

"Why did Qiu Muwang pick him up?" That cold elder didn't look like such a kind person.

Dong Qinghe let go of Chang Jiaci, half leaned against the head of the bed, paused and said: "Mu Wang is looking for me."

"What?" Chang Jiaci asked inexplicably, "What are you doing in Banlun Peak?"

After asking, he saw Dong Qinghe looking straight at him, and Chang Jiaci's heart skipped a beat, as if he felt something.

This guy said that he had been looking for himself in the realm of comprehension at that time, and had even been to the human world for this reason, and Banlun Peak is very close to Duanhong Mountain, which is where Yanmen is located. In the realm of demon cultivation, Dong Qinghe is there... still looking for himself.

Chang Jiaci twitched his eyelashes and asked, "How long have you been in Banlun Peak?"

Dong Qinghe gave an answer that surprised Chang Jiaci: "Five years."

"I have found [-]% of the cultivation world. I don't know where else to go except Broken Rainbow Mountain. But I don't know whether you will be reincarnated or if your appearance will change. I am not as close as you. I can't pass your breath on to others to search for it." So Dong Qinghe could only walk and watch by himself, "At this time, I heard rumors that a half-round peak appeared hundreds of years ago. Although no one has really seen the cracks in Hades, I still want to go and inspect them."

Chang Jiaci frowned, Dong Qinghe really spent a lot of effort on this back then?

Dong Qinghe smiled: "Actually, I'm not there all year round, after all, there are affairs in Qinghe Sect that need to be taken care of, and that's why Mu Wang came to me at that time."

Chang Jiaci stopped talking.

Dong Qinghe stroked his hair, and continued to recall vaguely.

"There are often battles between demon cultivators at Banlun Peak. I am afraid that I will wipe out the alarmed snakes, and I will not be able to hide here conveniently in the future, so I seldom take care of such excitement." At that time, Dong Qing Crane has seen several escaped from Yanmen, and I heard that they were demon cultivators who were seriously injured by Youzhen and finally died on the peak. Those people's internal organs were rotten, and their descriptions were withered. Hitting like this with the palm shows the depth of his cultivation.

"However, many people came one day, one side was a demon cultivator, the other side was a demon cultivator. The two sides fought for ten days and ten nights, and the creatures on the half-round peak ran away. When Mu Wang came the next day, they brought back a Eight or nine-year-old child, he said...the demon cultivator there had died, and the child was also seriously injured, but the demon cultivator refused to forgive him, and mistook Mu Wang for the child's helper. We had no choice but to save him and bring him back."

"Why do demon cultivators and demon cultivators fight each other?" Chang Jiaci wondered.

Dong Qinghe said: "Before Yanmen has a firm foothold, most of the demons and demon cultivators in the realm of comprehension are at odds with each other. If there is a disagreement, they will fight. At that time, it was not surprising to fight like this in Banlun Peak."

"So Shen Yuanxiu stayed at Qinghe Gate like this?"

"Originally, I wanted to wait for him to recover and send him elsewhere, but he is very smart and kind-hearted. Mu Wang and I like him very much."

"Qiu Muwang's 'like' is probably different from yours," Chang Jiaci said.

Dong Qinghe looked at the people around him with a smile: "'Like' should be the same, but for different people."

Chang Jiaci glanced at him sideways, and sat on the other side together: "According to what you said, those two should be very good."

"It's really good. Although I'm Yuan Xiu's master in name, Yuan Xiu has been by Mu Wang's side almost since he was a child." Dong Qinghe still feels a little unbelievable when he thinks about it, such an unsmiling and cold person However, his appearance completely changed in front of Shen Yuanxiu.Fellow practitioners in the cultivation world are not limited to men and women, even if they are outside, they are not limited at Qinghe Gate. Dong Qinghe once thought that they would stay together for thousands of years. After all, he has lost the one he should have firmly guarded. He hopes that his friends and disciples around him can achieve something, but he doesn't want to...

"But I don't want everything to be messed up," Chang Jiaci had a tacit understanding, and asked again, "Why?"

Dong Qinghe looked at him: "If the word 'love' can pull people up from the abyss, what can push them back to the abyss?"

Perhaps asking this question to others may not be able to think so quickly, but with Chang Jiaci in front of him, he understands the answer better than anyone else.

"It's hatred."

Chang Jiaci narrowed his eyes and said, the cold light in his eyes made Dong Qinghe's heart numb.

Shen Yuanxiu had smooth sailing in the Qinghe Gate, so what else could make him resentful and resentful, except for that incident back then.

Chang Jiaci nodded: "He wants revenge."

"Yuan Xiu stayed at Qinghemen for hundreds of years, but it was not worth the eight or nine years when he first came to this world." Dong Qinghe sighed.

These words suddenly brought Chang Jiaci back to a time long ago. He stared at the figure sitting close to him, and remembered that he wanted to grab Lian Tang's collar and ask fiercely, "Why? Why did we The food in Changfu is delicious, the one who loves you and raised you for 15 years, but in the end, it is not worth the first five years when you were ignorant? Why?"

But as time went by, Chang Jiaci seemed to understand the indescribable bond.

"It's not time, it's blood..." he said.

"Bloodline?"

Most people in the realm of comprehension have a long lifespan. Compared with other friendships, the friendship between blood relatives is much weaker than that in the human world. Like Dong Qinghe himself, his parents died early, and he traveled abroad when he was young, and then met Changdeng Daoist Compared with his parents, he has a deeper relationship with this master who has only been together for a few years but has changed him a lot, so Dong Qinghe is a little at a loss for Chang Jiaci's words.

From Chang Jiaci's point of view, his appearance like this couldn't be more ironic. The reason why he was dying like this back then, in the end, there was nothing left with this person's forgetting.

Those who can forget are so lucky, but the one who remembers everything is pitiful and ridiculous.

He didn't want to linger on this, and instead asked: "Who does Shen Yuan want to take revenge on? Who were those demon cultivators back then?"

Dong Qinghe said: "At that time, the demon cultivators and demon cultivators in Banlun Peak were all casual cultivators, and it was not easy to find out who they were."

Chang Jiaci had a flash of inspiration: "It was a casual cultivator back then, but... not anymore after that."

Dong Qinghe nodded: "That's right, but in a hundred years, Duanhong Mountain has been completely occupied by Yanmen, and so is Banlun Peak."

"So, if Shen Yuanxiu wants to investigate carefully, the best way is to return to the way of magic." Chang Jiaci understood.

Dong Qinghe sighed: "But we originally thought he wouldn't do this. In fact, Yuan Xiu didn't intend to do this at the beginning." He wanted revenge, but Qiu Muwang and Dong Qinghe didn't stop him, on the contrary, Qiu Muwang was always busy with this, this is Shen Yuanxiu's knot in his heart, since he wants to get rid of the past completely, then Qiu Muwang will help him kill the person who killed his parents, so that Shen Yuanxiu can rest assured up.

"But one time, Yuan Xiu was ambushed by Qiong Qi while exploring a demon realm at night. Thanks to Mu Wang's efforts to save her, Yuan Xiu's life was saved, but Mu Wang...was seriously injured."

Chang Jiaci frowned when he heard that, Qiongqi is a demonic beast that ranks with Wuwu, Jiuying, etc., second only to Chaos and Taotie in ferocity, but with Qiu Muwang's way of dealing with it, how can we have to pay so much? Painful price?

"I heard that your Elder Qiu was seriously injured, wasn't he stabbed by Shen Yuanxiu?" Chang Jiaci asked.

Dong Qinghe said: "This is later. Before that, Mu Wang really hurt his heart, but he was healed by Elder Yingshu of Zhiqi Mountain."

Zhiqishan is a small sect, but people in the cultivation world dare not look down on them casually, except that its head, Yun Canzi, is one of the four masters in the cultivation world along with Dong Qinghe, Wuyang Zhenren, and Wu Zhang. Because Zhiqishan has a unique skill in alchemy, it is said that the elder Jin Xueli, the minister of Japan, was his teacher there, and the elder Yingshu of Zhiqishan is even more skilled in rejuvenation and all kinds of cures.

"But such a powerful person, why didn't I see her last time I went back to the Gushan Festival?" Chang Jiaci asked, thinking about it, but realized something, "She died? Who killed it?"

Dong Qinghe hesitated for a while, but Chang Jiaci immediately understood.

"Shen Yuanxiu."

But... why?

Dong Qinghe was silent for a while: "After Mu Wang was injured, he could no longer be with Hu Yuanxiu. He was very worried about his safety, so... for the first time, Mu Wang hoped that Yuan Xiu would let go of his hatred."

Chang Jiaci laughed: "If you say let it go, let it go, so what are all the hard work before?"

Dong Qinghe's pupils flashed.

"What? Did I say something wrong? Didn't Shen Yuanxiu think so?" Chang Jiaci rolled his eyes.

Dong Qinghe was helpless: "He... said the same thing at the time."

"Oh, the reason why hatred is stronger is because it is much purer than so-called love." Chang Jiaci felt the same way.

"However, love can also be strengthened, it just depends on whether you are willing to experience it." Dong Qinghe said solemnly.

Chang Jiaci was taken aback for a moment, then turned his eyes away: "Anyway, Shen Yuanxiu doesn't want to."

"Yes, what a pity." Dong Qinghe said regretfully.

Shen Yuanxiu was not only unwilling, he seemed to be trapped in boundless obsessions. During the time when Qiu Muwang desperately needed someone to take care of him, he not only disappeared, but seemed to have become helpless for revenge. As long as he finds out that the other party has had a grudge with his parents, he will kill others, even if the other party is not a demon cultivator at all, and he has never reached the half-round peak, he will not let it go.For this reason, Shen Yuanxiu almost offended most of the sects in the cultivation world, and put Qiu Muwang, Dong Qinghe, and the entire Qinghe Sect in an embarrassing situation.

Some people say that this is the nature of Shen Yuanxiu's demon cultivators, paranoid, cold-blooded, and selfish. No matter how long he has stayed at Qinghemen, no matter how much Dong Qinghe and Qiu Muwang have given him and how much love they have given him, he will always love him. He will not be grateful, will not be grateful, he is only for himself, he is blinded by hatred, or, what he cares is not who killed his parents at all, he only hates for hatred, let everyone who hates Demon Xiu and hates his origin Everyone shut up completely.

"Then Yingshu is also related to the death of his parents?" Chang Jiaci asked again, thinking about it, but he felt wrong. Shen Yuanxiu killed those who were more or less involved in the death of his parents, but why did he end up with Has Qiu Muwang made a move?Unless, he felt...his most important person betrayed him.

"What is the relationship between Qiu Muwang and Yingshu?"

Dong Qinghe said: "Yuan Xiu refused to listen to Mu Wang's persuasion and killed innocent people indiscriminately. This has made Mu Wang helpless, and what makes him even more sad is that during the time when he was seriously injured and lingering in the sick bed, after several life and death, Yuan Xiu only It happened once, and I still hoped that Mu Wang would lend me his spirit beast, but after Mu Wang refused, Yuan Xiu disappeared."

"So Qiu Mu Wang turned to get along with others." Chang Jiaci sneered, "It wouldn't be that Shen Yuanxiu found out when he and the elder Yingshu were getting married, so that unlucky ghost became furious and directly Want the lives of those dogs and men?"

Seeing that it was getting late, Dong Qinghe was getting up and taking off his clothes. Listening to Chang Jiaci's harsh words, Dong Qinghe took off his robe, reached out and tapped on his forehead: "Don't talk nonsense, Elder Mu Wang and Yingshu are the elders." It is aboveboard, before that, he and Yuan Xiu have made it clear."

Chang Jiaci patted the opponent's hand away, and replied unhappily: "It's really like this, isn't this just like the one sung in the opera, I think I know what Qiu Mu can say later, 'If you continue to be stubborn , I will be with others, I don’t want you anymore, I treat you with nothing, everyone betrays relatives, let’s see how you regret it,’isn’t it?”

Dong Qinghe put the clothes aside, turned back on the bed, seeing Chang Jiaci's eyes were cold, he grabbed her and hugged her to his chest.

Chang Jiaci looked up at Dong Qinghe: "Is this what you said 'love grows stronger'?"

After all, it is not worth the hatred.

Dong Qinghe stroked his hair, feeling a little sad: "A few days before the accident, I caught Shen Yuanxiu in Zuiyi Mountain, and he followed me back to Qinghe Gate without any resistance, and I locked him up. In the star department, I want to try again later, but no one knows how he escaped. He killed Yingshu first, and then waited for Mu Wang. That day, I was not at the door, but when I came back, He has already stabbed Mu Wang three swords, I looked at the wound, each sword passed through the chest, I also saw Yuan Xiu's eyes, he really wanted to kill Mu Wang, but Mu Wang... There was no fight back from beginning to end."

Chang Jiaci was stunned, speechless.

Dong Qinghe said word by word: "Even though Yuan Xiu suffers, he is wrong. Even though Mu Wang empathizes with others, he has done his utmost to Yuan Xiu."

Saying that, Dong Qinghe lay down with Chang Jiaci in his arms, raised his hand, and extinguished the oil lamp on the table.

Chang Jiaci stared at the pitch-black void, and suddenly said: "That day... when we left the Ministry of Fire, I saw a golden-striped tiger."

"Well, that's Muwang's spirit beast." Dong Qinghe said.

Chang Jiaci blinked: "Golden tigers... have always been in pairs." It is rumored that the golden tiger has only one mate in this life, and if the other one leaves, it will never be with the beast forever, The tiger on the top of the mountain looked so lonely.

"Is the other one Shen Yuanxiu's?"

This time Dong Qinghe pondered for a while before saying: "Yes..."

"How did you die?"

"It was that time he was killed by Qiongqi."

Chang Jiaci was silent.

Dong Qinghe felt the breath of the other party lightly brushing against his neck, and lowered his head to kiss his forehead.

"Jiaci, sometimes...the so-called obsession is to make people want to achieve that goal at all costs, but when it is really achieved, you will find that what you lose is the most precious..."
