Chapter 14
Spoiler - love dies
1.
The first year of Chengsheng.
Guo Xin found that he was dead.
Consciousness became hazy, and he slowly lost weight, lifted his feet off the ground, and floated into the air.
He stared blankly at the person lying on the ground.The cold body was wrapped in chains, its body was broken, all its limbs were broken, and the shoulders were pierced by iron bars.
A man dressed as a prison guard sniffed the dead body, then turned around and said, "Boss, what should I do? I really committed suicide by biting my tongue."
The person next to him who seemed to have a higher rank clicked his tongue angrily, and said bitterly: "This kid looks like he has thin arms and legs, but his bones are quite hard. I can only hope that the master will not blame him."
Ask him where Chu Jiang is, the kid keeps saying that it's okay if he doesn't know, he doesn't even have a good piece of meat on his body, and he dares to talk hard to them in a buzzing voice.
"...Even if I knew, I wouldn't tell you..."
To deal with this kind of goods, if you are not careful, you will be a little heavy handed.
The jailer played with a moon white jade ring in his hand, and said impatiently: "Okay, go back and report to the higher authorities first."
The soul floated aside in a daze, looking at the two living people in the room, unable to understand what they were saying.His eyes fell on the jade ring in the man's hand, and his dull expression seemed to have a little reaction.It floated faintly, trying to reach for the jade ring, but the transparent hand just passed through the body of the jade ring and the jailer.
The two jailers walked out, and the soul instinctively followed, floating all the way beside the jade ring, mechanically trying to catch it repeatedly.Of course, he can't touch it, he just goes through it over and over again.
2.
The soul followed them to a magnificent hall.His Highness stood respectfully with several officials. In the middle of the hall was a carved chair covered with tiger skin, on which a man with high cheekbones and gloomy eyes lay on his side.
The soul looked at the people in the room in confusion.In his eyes, the bodies of these moving creatures are covered with vague smoke.
The smoke on the bodies of the people in this room is all gray, but in different shades. The jailer is light gray, and one or two officials are rich dark gray, but the man in the front seat is flowing with a terrifying dark black. smoke.
The jailer handed that Yuebai Yuhuan to an official below, and whispered a few words.The official knelt down and presented the jade ring to the man seated in front of him, and said respectfully, "Your Majesty, that pharmacist committed suicide, but he still hasn't been able to find out the whereabouts of the traitor Chu Jiang."
The man took the jade ring and looked at it, his soul wanted to float to the side of the jade ring, but the black mist on the man's body seemed to make him afraid, he didn't dare to approach, so he could only hover and float in the air farther away.
The official said again: "Your Majesty, if we tie up the pharmacist's body and show it to the public, maybe we can lure Chu Jiang out."
The man Mosuo held the jade ring, and made a playful smile: "No need. Chu Jiang was seriously injured when he escaped. This jade ring was given to him by his father, and he treats it like his life. Now even this is given away. It must be because he knows that his life is not long, so there is nothing to be afraid of."
The official wondered: "But if Chu Jiang is rescued by another doctor, wouldn't there be endless troubles?"
The man said again: "That's why, your knowledge is still a little short. People's hearts are like water, and it's better to be blocked than to be sparse. Now that the Western Wei Dynasty entered the country, it was a time when people's hearts were unstable, and there were many people who were secretly dissatisfied or suspicious of the imperial court.
"Although Chu Jiang has lost his reputation, his combat achievements are too high. Some people still don't believe that he will commit chaos and attract foreign enemies. The more you torture the person who rescued him, the more likely you will attract desperadoes to join him. A Chu Jiang is nothing to be afraid of." , cholera is dangerous."
"Let's say that the traitor Chu Jiang was rescued by a pharmacist when he was fleeing, but he avenged him and killed that person. I am deeply sorry. This time I am on a southern tour, I will definitely comfort the people and arrest the traitor. Our people don't have to worry .”
The official said in shame: "My emperor is holy."
3.
A man in black with an indifferent expression walked into the knife shop and threw two ingots of silver on the table.
"The sharpest one," said the man.
In this cholera season, there are not many such big-spending guests, the boss hurriedly responded and raised his eyes to look at him.I saw the man with sharp eyebrows and a terrified body, but his eye sockets were sunken and his face was sickly pale.When he didn't speak, his brows were tightly frowned, and his eyes were terribly gloomy.
Such people are generally desperate.
The boss didn't dare to ask more questions, so he brought someone the best knife, and the man left.After the person left, the boss thought about it for a long time, and always felt that he had seen this face before. After thinking about it, he suddenly gasped.
This...couldn't be what was said on the imperial list these days...
Chu Jiang came out of the knife shop and walked on the street.
In the past two days, a group of refugees who escaped from the border flooded into the city, and the wicked people fought and looted in the streets.
Someone snatched the food from the shopkeeper on the street and ran past him, and there were angry shouts and curses from behind.Chu Jiang walked past indifferently without looking sideways.
Walking to the corner of the street, there was an unremarkable dilapidated shop in a shadowy corner, and a young Taoist priest with thick eyebrows and big eyes was sitting inside.The Taoist priest looked very upright, but his Taoist robe was crumpled and his hair was tied crookedly, making him look very unkempt.
When Chu Jiang walked past him, the Taoist spoke leisurely.
"Brother, look at your face is hard and boned, your seal is messy, and you have no anger. You will definitely commit a weapon in the near future, which is very ominous."
Chu Jiang ignored it.The Taoist went on to say: "Looking at the black and white lights behind your ears, the merits and sins are entangled, and the scarlet color is hidden. It must be that you have killed countless lives and saved countless people."
Chu Jiang stopped in his tracks, turned his head and looked at him coldly. "Who are you, the dog emperor sent you here?"
The Taoist shook his head and said, "People who cultivate the Tao don't care about worldly affairs. They just see the dead air on your forehead, brother, and your obsession is too deep. I can't help but want to remind you."
Chu Jiang sneered and said, "What fear is there in death?"
The Taoist said: "Life and death in one life is a small matter, but not entering the reincarnation is a big matter. Ordinary people are too obsessed. After death, they turn into ghosts and wander around the world. For a person like you who has made great achievements and made great achievements, attaining the Tao and becoming a demon are all in one thought. In the meantime, if the obsession is too heavy, it is not as simple as turning into a ghost.
"And let go, and forgive."
Chu Jiang felt that these words were ridiculous, and murmured: "Forgiveness...is really ridiculous. If I forgive the world, no one will forgive me. I have seen enough filth in the world while alive, who cares what happens after death."
The Taoist sighed: "There are thousands of causes and effects in the world. The sins of this life can be repaid in the reincarnation of the next life. The unfinished fate may be continued in the next life. Brother, do you have no attachments or people in this world?"
The matter of nostalgia, the person of nostalgia... A thin and clean figure flashed in front of his eyes, and the fragrance of medicine in the man's hand wafted away, and he turned around and smiled softly at himself.
Chu Jiang's eyes trembled, he secretly swung the figure away from his eyes, and said in a low voice, "No."
Saying that she no longer looked at him, turned around and walked away.
4.
But the man still fell into a dream that night.
There was no blood in the dream, no fights, he returned to the cabin that smelled of medicine, and never left again.
In the morning, accompany the children to collect herbs, and go home together in the evening.In his free time, he would take him to travel all over the great rivers and mountains, go to Mobei to watch the sunset on the long river, and go to the Western Regions to listen to the melodious sound of Qiang flute.
The children pestered him to teach him how to ride horses and practice martial arts, but unfortunately his qualifications were mediocre and he didn't make any progress, so he was depressed.He hugged him in his arms, and coaxed him with a smile, your hands are for curing diseases and saving lives, so I'll take care of the knife and gun.
Chu Jiang woke up choking on the blood he coughed up.He raised his head and wiped the redness around his mouth, staring blankly at the roof in the dark, for some reason, he suddenly had some unrealistic expectations.
After these two days are over, if I am lucky enough to still have some breath, I may be able to go back and see him again.
Probably because of such thoughts, he stopped when he was walking on the street the next day when a begging refugee grabbed his trousers.
The beggar begged: "Grandpa, do me a favor and give me some money. We have escaped all the way, and the elderly and children are sick and have no money to treat them. We really can't survive..."
Chu Jiang squatted down, took out some broken silver, and placed it in front of him.
The man trembled and kowtowed: "Thank you, Lord, you saved our family's life. You are a good man, a good man."
Chu Jiang got up, and the refugees who were scattered on the street gathered together.
The other passers-by were in a hurry and never glanced at them.In this troubled world, everyone is too busy to take care of themselves, and it is rare to meet a kind-hearted person. It is as if they have seen a life-saving straw.
Chu Jiang silently put the broken silver in his dirty hands. Later, more and more people gathered, and he couldn't tell them apart, so he had to take out the money bag and put it on the ground, saying: "I only have this money bag in total." Let’s share some.”
The refugees rushed forward, and he was about to turn around and leave when someone behind him asked hesitantly.
"He... is he Chu Jiang?"
All eyes suddenly focused on him.The refugees who were picking up the money heard this, quickly put the money in their arms and backed away from him in surprise.
"Chu Jiang? Isn't he the traitor who wants to usurp the throne?"
"Is he the one who let the Western Wei people in?"
"...According to the imperial list two days ago, it seems that Chu Jiang has indeed fled to the vicinity."
The crowd began to whisper, and the passers-by who had been walking indifferently on the street stopped one after another, looking at him with hesitant and terrified eyes.
A refugee who didn't get the money boldly asked in a rough voice, "You...are you Chu Jiang!"
Chu Jiang turned to him with cold eyes: "So what."
5.
The crowd exploded all of a sudden, and the originally suspicious eyes turned into horror and resentment.Hearing the commotion here, a group of officers and soldiers with knives surrounded them in the distance.Seeing the backing of the officials, the refugees became a little emboldened, pointing at Chu Jiang and cursing.
"It's all you, if it weren't for you, we wouldn't be in exile here!"
"You have no conscience, you are not as good as animals, why do you dare to live in the world!"
The person who received his money before was a little weak and didn't dare to take the lead in shouting, but he also looked at him bitterly, and followed suit with booing.Chu Jiang sneered, turned around and walked out, treating the officers and soldiers standing in front of him as worthless.
"Weigh your own weight, and get out if you don't want to die."
The leading officers and soldiers said: "Chu Jiang, you have colluded with the enemy and treasoned the country, killed innocent people, your crime is unforgivable, and you will be arrested before the emperor to accept your crime."
Chu Jiang raised his eyebrows: "Oh, is it because my brain is not working well? I see that you are dressed as Yulin soldiers. When Xiao Yi usurped the throne to attract the enemy, it seemed that you were the ones who played the vanguard."
With a wave of the leader's hand, he led the men and horses to rush forward.Chu Jiang was merciless with his sword in his hand, and several soldiers were decapitated in a moment.More people gathered around.
The onlookers ran away screaming and cursing, yelling in unison: "Killer! Killer!"
"Look at that Chu Jiang, he really has no humanity!"
"So cruel, no wonder he even killed the pharmacist who saved him!"
When Chu Jiang heard this sentence amidst the noisy cursing, his blood became cold, his movements stopped suddenly, and he didn't seem to realize that he was cut on his shoulder.
He suddenly turned his head to look at the speaker, with a terrifying expression like a Shura ghost, and asked viciously, "Who do you say I killed?"
The man was so frightened that his feet went limp for a moment, he sat down on the ground, and shivered back: "The emperor's list... the emperor's list... Didn't you just kill a pharmacist two days ago?"
Seeing that he didn't respond, someone gradually got bolder and continued to scold: "You don't even spare anyone who saved you. Are you a beast!"
Someone else responded with a sneer: "That pharmacist even saved Chu Jiang, he doesn't distinguish between good and evil, maybe there is more than a crime for death, let's see who doesn't have eyes to save him in the future!"
People around responded: "That's right, damn it!"
Chu Jiang stood there dumbfounded.
died……
who diedIs Guo Xin dead?
Just kidding.
The person who was always gentle and clumsy, who was kinder than anyone else, who loved and saved all beings in this filthy world, died
Why is it him?
Seeing that he suddenly stopped moving, some soldiers mentioned cutting off his neck.The shining knife was about to fall, but the man remained motionless.
What did they say about the imperial list.
Royal list...
He must have been captured by Xiao Yi and the others.
Could it be... that I... killed him.
It was very noisy all around, but Chu Jiang could no longer hear anything.The world is barren and everything is dead.The last line of defense in my heart suddenly collapsed.
Nothing, now really, nothing.
The light of the knife reflected a cold light, almost touching the man's neck.The stunned man didn't even turn around, but instantly strangled the soldier's neck with his backhand, snapped it, and twisted it directly.
The next moment, the man passed through the group of soldiers with lightning speed, blood spattered everywhere, and there was only one soldier left in the group who could breathe.
There was silence all around.
Chu Jiang raised his head, his eyes were horrified, and his eyes were weeping blood. He said to the trembling soldiers on the ground, "Go back and tell Xiao Yi that you want to kill me. How can such a small number of people be enough?" Sanli, if he doesn't come in person, I will lead my troops to massacre the city."
6.
into the night.Southwestern suburbs.
A man in black walked into the forest through the night.
As the man's footsteps approached, the sounds of flying insects, birds and beasts in the forest stopped at the same time, and everything was completely silent for a while.
Creak, creak, only the sound of a man stepping on a broken branch, echoing abruptly in the silent mountain forest.
He sat down against a tree.
The bird perched on the branch seemed to sense some danger, and flew away with a huff.A few squirrels in the grass looked here for a moment, then instinctively turned around and ran away.
The man closed his eyes and leaned against the tree trunk, not knowing what to think, motionless, like a weird and gloomy statue in the night.
There was a faint scarlet light flashing behind the ears.
He just sat there all night.
At noon on the second day, Chu Jiang slowly opened his eyes.
There was a gray and dead air between his brows, his eye sockets were sunken, and his eyes seemed to be a pool of silent stagnant water.
A black hair suddenly turned gray overnight.
Chu Jiang moved his body slowly and stiffly, stood up, shook the fallen leaves on his body, and regained a trace of a living person.Then he untied the rope wrapped around the knife little by little, and walked out with the knife in hand.
The sky is gloomy, and the plains are vast.
On the plain a few miles outside the city, thousands of soldiers holding guns and wearing armor lined up.
In the mid-air above their heads, hovered a group of translucent warm white light, which vaguely looked like a young man.But no one can see it.
The spirit looked down at the people.It couldn't make out the faces of mortals, but only saw a continuous gray mist wrapping around them.
Right in front of the team, there was a high-hanging dragon sedan chair, where the black mist was thickest, and a man in a splendid robe sat cross-legged inside.
Soul stared blankly at the moon white jade ring in his hand.
Suddenly, as if it sensed something, it looked away from the jade ring and turned to look into the distance.
I saw a man walking slowly from a distance alone in the long sand and dust.
The mist wrapped around that person was different from the large gray area below.Half black and half pure white, with clear boundaries and intertwined.
Soul stared at that person for a long time, and slowly a kind of joyful expression appeared on his wooden face, he didn't even look at Yuhuan any more, and instead drifted eagerly towards that person.
The man stopped in front of the formation.
The air is solemn, only the sound of yellow sand scraping.
The person sitting in the dragon sedan chair said, "Chu Jiang, I thought you really had soldiers to lead, and I specially prepared such a big battle for you. Who knew that you were so stupid as to come to die alone."
He said with a sigh: "Forget it, you and I have been friends for so long, I will always personally send you on the road."
Chu Jiang's voice was calm and deep: "Where is Guo Xin?"
"Oh, are you talking about the pharmacist who was brutally killed by you?" The emperor smiled meaningfully and raised his hand. Someone below rolled out a carved coffin. "I have prepared a good coffin for him to comfort him." In the spirit of heaven."
The coffin was slowly pushed in front of the man.
The soul floated close to the man, and stopped in mid-air a few meters away.It could clearly see that apart from the black and white mist, there was also an ominous scarlet color on that person's body.This made it cringe instinctively, not daring to move forward.
Chu Jiang opened the coffin lid expressionlessly.
A young man lay quietly inside.He was dressed in clean light white clothes, with an antiseptic sachet beside him, with a peaceful expression as if he was asleep.
The man raised his baggy sleeves with the handle of his knife.The slender arms inside were covered with bruises, and there were several unnaturally bent arcs, showing the pain the owner of the body had suffered.
Chu Jiang opened his jaw slightly again and took a look.
His eyes, like a pool of stagnant water, finally fluctuated for a moment.
Chu Jiang stared at him silently for a while, and whispered to the sleeping man.
"I'm here to pick you up."
Soul tilted his head in doubt, and looked at him ignorantly.
"You must be in pain, don't you?" The man asked softly, as if the person in the coffin would really answer him.
"If you hadn't saved me, you could have been a good pharmacist in peace. If I hadn't abandoned you, you wouldn't have been caught and tortured to death by them."
The man lowered his eyes and his voice was deadly calm.
"Guo Xin, do you...do you regret meeting me..."
The soul listened to him quietly a few meters away. He couldn't understand what the man said, and the man couldn't see him.
The man was silent for a while, and then said: "After I met you, I almost thought that this world is not rotten beyond hope."
"But I seem to be very wrong. In the end, I lost you too."
"I originally wanted to go with you, but even if I go to the underworld, I'm afraid I won't have the face to see you, and those brothers and relatives who died because of me."
The original ignorant expression of the soul gradually changed, and it was horrified to see that the scarlet aura on that person's body was getting thicker and more glaring.
Not far away, the emperor raised his voice and said, "Chu Jiang, is there enough time for reminiscing about the old days? Is it time to settle the debt you owe to Daliang?"
Chu Jiang nodded and said, "The accounts between Daliang and I really should be settled."
He closed the coffin lid unhurriedly, carefully pushed the coffin to the open space next to it, and then walked slowly to the front of the formation.The soldiers in the front line all pointed their guns at him, but he didn't care, and his footsteps didn't stop.
Walking to the front of the formation, only a few meters away from the army, Chu Jiang circled around and murmured to someone in the air.
"You said, in this world, there is no distinction between good and evil, and loyalty and evil are not distinguished. Wouldn't it be better to just destroy it?"
"You all died with regret, I don't know how to repay your wrongs. There are so many people here, is it enough to ask them all to come and be buried with you?"
7.
A thunderstorm is approaching, and the sky is getting darker.
In front of the mighty team, there is only one person who is barely there.
The emperor said: "The traitorous minister Chu Jiang, as a general guarding the border, you not only support yourself, intend to usurp the throne and seize power, but also collude with foreign enemies and lure wolves into your house. Many people in the world died because of you, and your homeland was displaced. What's more, you were killed in the process of fleeing." If you don't know how to repent and kill innocent people, if you don't kill you here today, it's hard for me to explain to the people of Daliang, it's hard for me to—"
Before the words were finished, Chu Jiang dodged, and before everyone could react, he broke the neck of a soldier in the front row, drew out the long knife at his waist, and threw it precisely at the emperor's face.
Whoosh, the sound of sharp blades piercing through the air.
A guard in front of the dragon sedan rushed over in a hurry, but before he could block it with his sword, the flying knife directly pierced his head, and the bloody knife tip barely stopped in front of the emperor's eyes.
The emperor broke out in a cold sweat and fell directly from the dragon sedan chair. He lost his composure and shouted loudly.
"The whole army obeys the order! Execute the traitor Chu Jiang! Execute on the spot! Shoot and kill!"
Following an order, thousands of soldiers raised their sharp knives and surrounded and suppressed the man alone.
A bloody massacre kicked off.
The people surrounded by layers of people were flying long knives, and the knives were deadly. After a while, there were corpses with different heads lying around him. Blood splashed on his face and body. evil spirits.
The soldiers were so excited that their eyes turned red, and they roared angrily and rushed towards him.
"He's only one person, he won't last long, what are you afraid of! Let's go together! Kill him!"
Chu Jiang looked up to the sky and laughed, arrogant and arrogant: "Let's all attack together, so I can chop faster!" As he said that, he mercilessly cut off the arm of a soldier who rushed over.
The soldiers screamed and rolled to the ground, and more people screamed and surrounded them.
Everyone did not expect that the dying man could be so fierce and abnormal. Chu Jiang had countless knife wounds, and one or two swords directly penetrated his shoulder, but he didn't realize it. The soldiers below were piled up into a hill.
The emperor originally wanted to see him die with his own eyes, and watched him in the formation with gritted teeth, but several times the man who was far away suddenly broke through the siege, and almost killed him with a knife, so the emperor had no choice but to retreat again. Back off, not daring to approach him again.
The fight lasted for two hours, or even longer.
The man's movements gradually slowed down.His right shoulder was cut so that he couldn't lift it up for a moment, a circle of soldiers finally took aim at the opportunity, roared and stabbed him with their knives together.
stab.
Chu Jiang was pierced by dozens of swords.
The man's raised hand finally stopped in mid-air and slowly fell down.
With a bang, the knife in his hand fell to the ground, his eyes were still open angrily like ghosts in hell, but his pupils gradually became stiff, and finally did not move.
The surroundings were quiet.
"Dead?" After a while, a soldier asked nervously.
"... You're dead..." They cautiously surrounded the man and sniffed the man.
"...Dead, dead! The traitor Chu Jiang has been executed!"
The soldiers who were almost exhausted cheered in commotion, and the news reached the ears of the emperor who was standing behind. The emperor finally breathed a sigh of relief, and then smiled triumphantly.
The soul that had been floating above the Chu River floated down in a daze and landed beside the man.
The man's head was hanging down, his face was covered with blood.Soul's eyes were empty, and he stretched out his hands slowly and dullly, as if he wanted to hold the person's face, and he was still calling for something.
However, no one heard it.
8.
Suddenly, a strange wind blew from nowhere, and the sand and dust raised made people unable to open their eyes, and the soul that was originally floating beside the man was blown away.
The sky darkened at a speed visible to the naked eye, and all the sounds of the birds in the sky stopped.
Suddenly there was a scream from the crowd.
The soldiers opened their eyes and looked at the source of the sound with difficulty, and they froze in horror for a moment.
The man who had been pierced by dozens of sharp knives and died utterly moved.He was holding a piece of armor in his hand, and the owner of that armor had already turned into a puddle of blood like mud.
The man dropped the armor on the ground, and slowly raised his head.
There was no focus in his eyes, and the color of his eyes suddenly turned into a terrifying scarlet, with a strange and bloodthirsty smile on his face.
In the next second, he moved in front of another soldier in an instant, strangling his face.The speed was so fast that the naked eye could hardly keep up with it, and everyone watched helplessly as the soldier turned into a puddle of sand before he could scream.
The man raised his hand to lick the blood on his fingertips, and smiled with satisfaction.
But he said that the Taoist didn't miss him that day.Ordinary people enter reincarnation based on their merits and demerits. Those who have made great achievements will gain the Tao, those who have made great mistakes will be punished, and those who are too obsessed will turn into ghosts and wander around the world.
Since ancient times, people who have made great achievements and demerits are mostly from princes and generals. Moreover, good and evil deeds and demerits are not clear. For example, a border guard like Chu Jiang has countless blood on the battlefield. He has the great demerit of killing, but he also defends his family. The country saves thousands of people and has the great virtue of saving people.Merits and demerits are intertwined, and attaining enlightenment and becoming a demon after death is all in one thought.
Chu Jiang hated this unfair world very much. Although his body was hard to overcome, ordinary people turned into ghosts with so many obsessions, but he turned into a corpse on the spot and fell directly into a demon.
The great evil star appeared in Nanling.
Several people were touched by Chu Jiang one after another, and they turned into sand. Everyone who was shocked by the scene in front of them finally understood.
What they see now is not a living person at all.
The emperor had already disappeared without a trace, and the soldiers also began to throw away their helmets and armor, and fled in a hurry.
But where could they escape, one after another died in Chu Jiang's hands screaming and panicking.At this time, Chu Jiang has no kindness of a living person at all, only one thought left, kill them all, kill them all, the world is unkind, if you owe me one point, you will pay back ten times.
Within a short while, thousands of soldiers were almost slaughtered by him.
Looking at this piece of purgatory on earth, the eyes of the soul gradually turned from being confused all the time to soberness. It shouted something eagerly, and flew in front of Chu Jiang who had turned into evil, as if to stop this terrible event massacre.
But Chu Jiang just passed through his transparent body and stretched out his hands to one frightened and desperate person after another.
The soldiers had been killed, and the massacre spread to the city.The unarmed civilians ran away screaming. A woman holding a baby fell to the ground. Before she could get up, Chu Jiang had already flashed in front of her.
The woman begged him desperately: "Please! Don't kill my child, kill me and let my child go!"
Chu Jiang's scarlet pupils did not fluctuate at all, and he stretched out his hand to the baby.
The soul opened its arms, shook its head in front of him, and seemed to be saying, no, no, but the next moment, the baby and the woman turned into sand together.
Chu Jiang staggered and walked towards the next living creature.
9.
Water trickled down from the hollow eyes of the soul.
Who will save them, save him, don't let this killing continue...
The soul does not have tears, but it does cry.
Tears flowed down her transparent cheeks, and slowly dripped onto the ground, causing real splashes to bloom.
There was a faint orange halo overflowing from the soul's heart, and the originally transparent body gradually became solid, and the whole body of the soul seemed to be lit with bright lights.
The distant and solemn voice seemed to come from ancient times, resounding from the bottom of the soul:
The soul of the living, the heart of the dead...
Redeeming the sin of the undead, the return of the unfinished round...
The wobbly figure looking for the living thing seemed to sense something behind him, stopped in his tracks, turned his head, and saw the shadow of a soul reflected in his scarlet eyes.
Soul lowered his head in a daze, looked at the orange halo in his heart, and stretched out his hand to pull it out.
It was in the shape of a heart.
The soul doesn't know what it is, and somewhere in the dark, he instinctively feels that the soft light has the power to cleanse the darkness and calm the soul.
The soul's feet stepped on the ground, and it held the dancing flame in both hands, and walked towards the Chu River step by step.
Chu Jiang's face was covered with blood, and he stared at it as if he was staring at other prey. When the soul got closer, Chu Jiang slowly raised his hand. As soon as the hand touched it, the soul might die. Ashes to ashes.
It's just that for some reason, the scarlet eyes just stared at it warily, and didn't let go of it for a long time.
The soul walked in front of him.It looked down at the orange halo, the flowing flame seemed to be alive, beating softly.
In the very center of that halo, there is a small area, the brightest, softest, and more beautiful than other halos.
The soul tore off the small piece, held it reverently, and stood on tiptoe.
Chu Jiang was like a quiet beast, allowing it to approach him without moving.
Soul put this small piece of brightest soul gently on Chu Jiang's forehead.
The halo flickered and melted into his forehead.
Chu Jiang felt that he had been wandering in a dark and boundless world, with no exit or end in sight.Suddenly, a beam of warm light penetrated the endless darkness above his head and enveloped him.The familiar and ethereal voice drifted into my heart like a gentle soul-relief song.
said the voice.
"May someone love you, love you, and never hurt you again."
"May you be happy and healthy, no more sorrow, no more hatred."
"May you let go of your obsessions, forgive the world, and forgive yourself."
The darkness is dispelled, everything grows, and the rain is sprinkled back on the earth along with the sun.
The scarlet in Chu Jiang's eyes faded slowly, and the tyrannical aura on his body also disappeared. He finally closed his eyes as if relieved, and fell down slowly.
The soul put the missing piece back into its heart, its body became transparent again, and its feet lifted off the ground.There is a distant voice calling it, which is the call of reincarnation to the souls of the dead.
The soul closed its eyes, turned into a beam of golden light, and disappeared into the sky.
10.
two years later.In the third year of Chengsheng, the Western Wei Dynasty broke Liang, Liang Yuan Emperor Xiao Yi died in Jiangling, and the Southern Dynasty Liang was destroyed.
ten years later.A wandering Taoist passed by Nanling and saw that there was no vegetation and ghosts were in chaos. Recalling the past, he sighed with emotion that this was a catastrophe of God's will.
The group of ghosts roared and wanted to crush the bones of a person, but there was a faint orange light on the forehead of that person, and the group of ghosts could not get close to him, and they wailed day and night.The Taoist shook his head and sighed, moved the man's bones to be buried elsewhere, and built a temple in Nanling to cross the soul.
700 years later.Thirty miles away from Nanling, in a deep mountain, the corpse king was born.
The ignorant man who crawled out of the pile of corpses didn't remember anything, only a voice in his heart was slowly telling the ancient story.
Forgive the world, forgive yourself.
Forgive me, forgive me.
It turns out that my name is Chu Shuzhi.
In the sky full of flames, Guo Changcheng was forcefully pushed out of the barrier.There was the sound of flesh being torn and bones being gnawed in front of him, and a strong smell of blood came over his face.
At the same time, a beam of orange light shot into his forehead, and the memory of thousands of years ago finally came to life.
Chu Shuzhi's last words with a smile still linger in his ears.
"It turns out that your love hole has always been with me, and I will return it to you in a while."
"Fool, you have to be careful next time, don't fall in love with the person you see first."
The place in my heart that had been empty all this time was suddenly flooded by strong emotions like a tsunami.The man's frown and smile, every word he said, every look he looked at, flashed back in front of Guo Changcheng like a revolving lantern.
Thousands of years ago, that man had reached out to him for the first time on horseback.
Thousands of years later, that person made up a pair of lanterns for him.
The man once kissed him fiercely under the cliff covered in blood.
The man once said to him under the gorgeous fireworks, I am serious.
……
……
……
Guo Changcheng's love has finally returned.
That's because Chu Shuzhi died.
Extra episode [-] - Love is gone (End)
1.
The first year of Chengsheng.
Guo Xin found that he was dead.
Consciousness became hazy, and he slowly lost weight, lifted his feet off the ground, and floated into the air.
He stared blankly at the person lying on the ground.The cold body was wrapped in chains, its body was broken, all its limbs were broken, and the shoulders were pierced by iron bars.
A man dressed as a prison guard sniffed the dead body, then turned around and said, "Boss, what should I do? I really committed suicide by biting my tongue."
The person next to him who seemed to have a higher rank clicked his tongue angrily, and said bitterly: "This kid looks like he has thin arms and legs, but his bones are quite hard. I can only hope that the master will not blame him."
Ask him where Chu Jiang is, the kid keeps saying that it's okay if he doesn't know, he doesn't even have a good piece of meat on his body, and he dares to talk hard to them in a buzzing voice.
"...Even if I knew, I wouldn't tell you..."
To deal with this kind of goods, if you are not careful, you will be a little heavy handed.
The jailer played with a moon white jade ring in his hand, and said impatiently: "Okay, go back and report to the higher authorities first."
The soul floated aside in a daze, looking at the two living people in the room, unable to understand what they were saying.His eyes fell on the jade ring in the man's hand, and his dull expression seemed to have a little reaction.It floated faintly, trying to reach for the jade ring, but the transparent hand just passed through the body of the jade ring and the jailer.
The two jailers walked out, and the soul instinctively followed, floating all the way beside the jade ring, mechanically trying to catch it repeatedly.Of course, he can't touch it, he just goes through it over and over again.
2.
The soul followed them to a magnificent hall.His Highness stood respectfully with several officials. In the middle of the hall was a carved chair covered with tiger skin, on which a man with high cheekbones and gloomy eyes lay on his side.
The soul looked at the people in the room in confusion.In his eyes, the bodies of these moving creatures are covered with vague smoke.
The smoke on the bodies of the people in this room is all gray, but in different shades. The jailer is light gray, and one or two officials are rich dark gray, but the man in the front seat is flowing with a terrifying dark black. smoke.
The jailer handed that Yuebai Yuhuan to an official below, and whispered a few words.The official knelt down and presented the jade ring to the man seated in front of him, and said respectfully, "Your Majesty, that pharmacist committed suicide, but he still hasn't been able to find out the whereabouts of the traitor Chu Jiang."
The man took the jade ring and looked at it, his soul wanted to float to the side of the jade ring, but the black mist on the man's body seemed to make him afraid, he didn't dare to approach, so he could only hover and float in the air farther away.
The official said again: "Your Majesty, if we tie up the pharmacist's body and show it to the public, maybe we can lure Chu Jiang out."
The man Mosuo held the jade ring, and made a playful smile: "No need. Chu Jiang was seriously injured when he escaped. This jade ring was given to him by his father, and he treats it like his life. Now even this is given away. It must be because he knows that his life is not long, so there is nothing to be afraid of."
The official wondered: "But if Chu Jiang is rescued by another doctor, wouldn't there be endless troubles?"
The man said again: "That's why, your knowledge is still a little short. People's hearts are like water, and it's better to be blocked than to be sparse. Now that the Western Wei Dynasty entered the country, it was a time when people's hearts were unstable, and there were many people who were secretly dissatisfied or suspicious of the imperial court.
"Although Chu Jiang has lost his reputation, his combat achievements are too high. Some people still don't believe that he will commit chaos and attract foreign enemies. The more you torture the person who rescued him, the more likely you will attract desperadoes to join him. A Chu Jiang is nothing to be afraid of." , cholera is dangerous."
"Let's say that the traitor Chu Jiang was rescued by a pharmacist when he was fleeing, but he avenged him and killed that person. I am deeply sorry. This time I am on a southern tour, I will definitely comfort the people and arrest the traitor. Our people don't have to worry .”
The official said in shame: "My emperor is holy."
3.
A man in black with an indifferent expression walked into the knife shop and threw two ingots of silver on the table.
"The sharpest one," said the man.
In this cholera season, there are not many such big-spending guests, the boss hurriedly responded and raised his eyes to look at him.I saw the man with sharp eyebrows and a terrified body, but his eye sockets were sunken and his face was sickly pale.When he didn't speak, his brows were tightly frowned, and his eyes were terribly gloomy.
Such people are generally desperate.
The boss didn't dare to ask more questions, so he brought someone the best knife, and the man left.After the person left, the boss thought about it for a long time, and always felt that he had seen this face before. After thinking about it, he suddenly gasped.
This...couldn't be what was said on the imperial list these days...
Chu Jiang came out of the knife shop and walked on the street.
In the past two days, a group of refugees who escaped from the border flooded into the city, and the wicked people fought and looted in the streets.
Someone snatched the food from the shopkeeper on the street and ran past him, and there were angry shouts and curses from behind.Chu Jiang walked past indifferently without looking sideways.
Walking to the corner of the street, there was an unremarkable dilapidated shop in a shadowy corner, and a young Taoist priest with thick eyebrows and big eyes was sitting inside.The Taoist priest looked very upright, but his Taoist robe was crumpled and his hair was tied crookedly, making him look very unkempt.
When Chu Jiang walked past him, the Taoist spoke leisurely.
"Brother, look at your face is hard and boned, your seal is messy, and you have no anger. You will definitely commit a weapon in the near future, which is very ominous."
Chu Jiang ignored it.The Taoist went on to say: "Looking at the black and white lights behind your ears, the merits and sins are entangled, and the scarlet color is hidden. It must be that you have killed countless lives and saved countless people."
Chu Jiang stopped in his tracks, turned his head and looked at him coldly. "Who are you, the dog emperor sent you here?"
The Taoist shook his head and said, "People who cultivate the Tao don't care about worldly affairs. They just see the dead air on your forehead, brother, and your obsession is too deep. I can't help but want to remind you."
Chu Jiang sneered and said, "What fear is there in death?"
The Taoist said: "Life and death in one life is a small matter, but not entering the reincarnation is a big matter. Ordinary people are too obsessed. After death, they turn into ghosts and wander around the world. For a person like you who has made great achievements and made great achievements, attaining the Tao and becoming a demon are all in one thought. In the meantime, if the obsession is too heavy, it is not as simple as turning into a ghost.
"And let go, and forgive."
Chu Jiang felt that these words were ridiculous, and murmured: "Forgiveness...is really ridiculous. If I forgive the world, no one will forgive me. I have seen enough filth in the world while alive, who cares what happens after death."
The Taoist sighed: "There are thousands of causes and effects in the world. The sins of this life can be repaid in the reincarnation of the next life. The unfinished fate may be continued in the next life. Brother, do you have no attachments or people in this world?"
The matter of nostalgia, the person of nostalgia... A thin and clean figure flashed in front of his eyes, and the fragrance of medicine in the man's hand wafted away, and he turned around and smiled softly at himself.
Chu Jiang's eyes trembled, he secretly swung the figure away from his eyes, and said in a low voice, "No."
Saying that she no longer looked at him, turned around and walked away.
4.
But the man still fell into a dream that night.
There was no blood in the dream, no fights, he returned to the cabin that smelled of medicine, and never left again.
In the morning, accompany the children to collect herbs, and go home together in the evening.In his free time, he would take him to travel all over the great rivers and mountains, go to Mobei to watch the sunset on the long river, and go to the Western Regions to listen to the melodious sound of Qiang flute.
The children pestered him to teach him how to ride horses and practice martial arts, but unfortunately his qualifications were mediocre and he didn't make any progress, so he was depressed.He hugged him in his arms, and coaxed him with a smile, your hands are for curing diseases and saving lives, so I'll take care of the knife and gun.
Chu Jiang woke up choking on the blood he coughed up.He raised his head and wiped the redness around his mouth, staring blankly at the roof in the dark, for some reason, he suddenly had some unrealistic expectations.
After these two days are over, if I am lucky enough to still have some breath, I may be able to go back and see him again.
Probably because of such thoughts, he stopped when he was walking on the street the next day when a begging refugee grabbed his trousers.
The beggar begged: "Grandpa, do me a favor and give me some money. We have escaped all the way, and the elderly and children are sick and have no money to treat them. We really can't survive..."
Chu Jiang squatted down, took out some broken silver, and placed it in front of him.
The man trembled and kowtowed: "Thank you, Lord, you saved our family's life. You are a good man, a good man."
Chu Jiang got up, and the refugees who were scattered on the street gathered together.
The other passers-by were in a hurry and never glanced at them.In this troubled world, everyone is too busy to take care of themselves, and it is rare to meet a kind-hearted person. It is as if they have seen a life-saving straw.
Chu Jiang silently put the broken silver in his dirty hands. Later, more and more people gathered, and he couldn't tell them apart, so he had to take out the money bag and put it on the ground, saying: "I only have this money bag in total." Let’s share some.”
The refugees rushed forward, and he was about to turn around and leave when someone behind him asked hesitantly.
"He... is he Chu Jiang?"
All eyes suddenly focused on him.The refugees who were picking up the money heard this, quickly put the money in their arms and backed away from him in surprise.
"Chu Jiang? Isn't he the traitor who wants to usurp the throne?"
"Is he the one who let the Western Wei people in?"
"...According to the imperial list two days ago, it seems that Chu Jiang has indeed fled to the vicinity."
The crowd began to whisper, and the passers-by who had been walking indifferently on the street stopped one after another, looking at him with hesitant and terrified eyes.
A refugee who didn't get the money boldly asked in a rough voice, "You...are you Chu Jiang!"
Chu Jiang turned to him with cold eyes: "So what."
5.
The crowd exploded all of a sudden, and the originally suspicious eyes turned into horror and resentment.Hearing the commotion here, a group of officers and soldiers with knives surrounded them in the distance.Seeing the backing of the officials, the refugees became a little emboldened, pointing at Chu Jiang and cursing.
"It's all you, if it weren't for you, we wouldn't be in exile here!"
"You have no conscience, you are not as good as animals, why do you dare to live in the world!"
The person who received his money before was a little weak and didn't dare to take the lead in shouting, but he also looked at him bitterly, and followed suit with booing.Chu Jiang sneered, turned around and walked out, treating the officers and soldiers standing in front of him as worthless.
"Weigh your own weight, and get out if you don't want to die."
The leading officers and soldiers said: "Chu Jiang, you have colluded with the enemy and treasoned the country, killed innocent people, your crime is unforgivable, and you will be arrested before the emperor to accept your crime."
Chu Jiang raised his eyebrows: "Oh, is it because my brain is not working well? I see that you are dressed as Yulin soldiers. When Xiao Yi usurped the throne to attract the enemy, it seemed that you were the ones who played the vanguard."
With a wave of the leader's hand, he led the men and horses to rush forward.Chu Jiang was merciless with his sword in his hand, and several soldiers were decapitated in a moment.More people gathered around.
The onlookers ran away screaming and cursing, yelling in unison: "Killer! Killer!"
"Look at that Chu Jiang, he really has no humanity!"
"So cruel, no wonder he even killed the pharmacist who saved him!"
When Chu Jiang heard this sentence amidst the noisy cursing, his blood became cold, his movements stopped suddenly, and he didn't seem to realize that he was cut on his shoulder.
He suddenly turned his head to look at the speaker, with a terrifying expression like a Shura ghost, and asked viciously, "Who do you say I killed?"
The man was so frightened that his feet went limp for a moment, he sat down on the ground, and shivered back: "The emperor's list... the emperor's list... Didn't you just kill a pharmacist two days ago?"
Seeing that he didn't respond, someone gradually got bolder and continued to scold: "You don't even spare anyone who saved you. Are you a beast!"
Someone else responded with a sneer: "That pharmacist even saved Chu Jiang, he doesn't distinguish between good and evil, maybe there is more than a crime for death, let's see who doesn't have eyes to save him in the future!"
People around responded: "That's right, damn it!"
Chu Jiang stood there dumbfounded.
died……
who diedIs Guo Xin dead?
Just kidding.
The person who was always gentle and clumsy, who was kinder than anyone else, who loved and saved all beings in this filthy world, died
Why is it him?
Seeing that he suddenly stopped moving, some soldiers mentioned cutting off his neck.The shining knife was about to fall, but the man remained motionless.
What did they say about the imperial list.
Royal list...
He must have been captured by Xiao Yi and the others.
Could it be... that I... killed him.
It was very noisy all around, but Chu Jiang could no longer hear anything.The world is barren and everything is dead.The last line of defense in my heart suddenly collapsed.
Nothing, now really, nothing.
The light of the knife reflected a cold light, almost touching the man's neck.The stunned man didn't even turn around, but instantly strangled the soldier's neck with his backhand, snapped it, and twisted it directly.
The next moment, the man passed through the group of soldiers with lightning speed, blood spattered everywhere, and there was only one soldier left in the group who could breathe.
There was silence all around.
Chu Jiang raised his head, his eyes were horrified, and his eyes were weeping blood. He said to the trembling soldiers on the ground, "Go back and tell Xiao Yi that you want to kill me. How can such a small number of people be enough?" Sanli, if he doesn't come in person, I will lead my troops to massacre the city."
6.
into the night.Southwestern suburbs.
A man in black walked into the forest through the night.
As the man's footsteps approached, the sounds of flying insects, birds and beasts in the forest stopped at the same time, and everything was completely silent for a while.
Creak, creak, only the sound of a man stepping on a broken branch, echoing abruptly in the silent mountain forest.
He sat down against a tree.
The bird perched on the branch seemed to sense some danger, and flew away with a huff.A few squirrels in the grass looked here for a moment, then instinctively turned around and ran away.
The man closed his eyes and leaned against the tree trunk, not knowing what to think, motionless, like a weird and gloomy statue in the night.
There was a faint scarlet light flashing behind the ears.
He just sat there all night.
At noon on the second day, Chu Jiang slowly opened his eyes.
There was a gray and dead air between his brows, his eye sockets were sunken, and his eyes seemed to be a pool of silent stagnant water.
A black hair suddenly turned gray overnight.
Chu Jiang moved his body slowly and stiffly, stood up, shook the fallen leaves on his body, and regained a trace of a living person.Then he untied the rope wrapped around the knife little by little, and walked out with the knife in hand.
The sky is gloomy, and the plains are vast.
On the plain a few miles outside the city, thousands of soldiers holding guns and wearing armor lined up.
In the mid-air above their heads, hovered a group of translucent warm white light, which vaguely looked like a young man.But no one can see it.
The spirit looked down at the people.It couldn't make out the faces of mortals, but only saw a continuous gray mist wrapping around them.
Right in front of the team, there was a high-hanging dragon sedan chair, where the black mist was thickest, and a man in a splendid robe sat cross-legged inside.
Soul stared blankly at the moon white jade ring in his hand.
Suddenly, as if it sensed something, it looked away from the jade ring and turned to look into the distance.
I saw a man walking slowly from a distance alone in the long sand and dust.
The mist wrapped around that person was different from the large gray area below.Half black and half pure white, with clear boundaries and intertwined.
Soul stared at that person for a long time, and slowly a kind of joyful expression appeared on his wooden face, he didn't even look at Yuhuan any more, and instead drifted eagerly towards that person.
The man stopped in front of the formation.
The air is solemn, only the sound of yellow sand scraping.
The person sitting in the dragon sedan chair said, "Chu Jiang, I thought you really had soldiers to lead, and I specially prepared such a big battle for you. Who knew that you were so stupid as to come to die alone."
He said with a sigh: "Forget it, you and I have been friends for so long, I will always personally send you on the road."
Chu Jiang's voice was calm and deep: "Where is Guo Xin?"
"Oh, are you talking about the pharmacist who was brutally killed by you?" The emperor smiled meaningfully and raised his hand. Someone below rolled out a carved coffin. "I have prepared a good coffin for him to comfort him." In the spirit of heaven."
The coffin was slowly pushed in front of the man.
The soul floated close to the man, and stopped in mid-air a few meters away.It could clearly see that apart from the black and white mist, there was also an ominous scarlet color on that person's body.This made it cringe instinctively, not daring to move forward.
Chu Jiang opened the coffin lid expressionlessly.
A young man lay quietly inside.He was dressed in clean light white clothes, with an antiseptic sachet beside him, with a peaceful expression as if he was asleep.
The man raised his baggy sleeves with the handle of his knife.The slender arms inside were covered with bruises, and there were several unnaturally bent arcs, showing the pain the owner of the body had suffered.
Chu Jiang opened his jaw slightly again and took a look.
His eyes, like a pool of stagnant water, finally fluctuated for a moment.
Chu Jiang stared at him silently for a while, and whispered to the sleeping man.
"I'm here to pick you up."
Soul tilted his head in doubt, and looked at him ignorantly.
"You must be in pain, don't you?" The man asked softly, as if the person in the coffin would really answer him.
"If you hadn't saved me, you could have been a good pharmacist in peace. If I hadn't abandoned you, you wouldn't have been caught and tortured to death by them."
The man lowered his eyes and his voice was deadly calm.
"Guo Xin, do you...do you regret meeting me..."
The soul listened to him quietly a few meters away. He couldn't understand what the man said, and the man couldn't see him.
The man was silent for a while, and then said: "After I met you, I almost thought that this world is not rotten beyond hope."
"But I seem to be very wrong. In the end, I lost you too."
"I originally wanted to go with you, but even if I go to the underworld, I'm afraid I won't have the face to see you, and those brothers and relatives who died because of me."
The original ignorant expression of the soul gradually changed, and it was horrified to see that the scarlet aura on that person's body was getting thicker and more glaring.
Not far away, the emperor raised his voice and said, "Chu Jiang, is there enough time for reminiscing about the old days? Is it time to settle the debt you owe to Daliang?"
Chu Jiang nodded and said, "The accounts between Daliang and I really should be settled."
He closed the coffin lid unhurriedly, carefully pushed the coffin to the open space next to it, and then walked slowly to the front of the formation.The soldiers in the front line all pointed their guns at him, but he didn't care, and his footsteps didn't stop.
Walking to the front of the formation, only a few meters away from the army, Chu Jiang circled around and murmured to someone in the air.
"You said, in this world, there is no distinction between good and evil, and loyalty and evil are not distinguished. Wouldn't it be better to just destroy it?"
"You all died with regret, I don't know how to repay your wrongs. There are so many people here, is it enough to ask them all to come and be buried with you?"
7.
A thunderstorm is approaching, and the sky is getting darker.
In front of the mighty team, there is only one person who is barely there.
The emperor said: "The traitorous minister Chu Jiang, as a general guarding the border, you not only support yourself, intend to usurp the throne and seize power, but also collude with foreign enemies and lure wolves into your house. Many people in the world died because of you, and your homeland was displaced. What's more, you were killed in the process of fleeing." If you don't know how to repent and kill innocent people, if you don't kill you here today, it's hard for me to explain to the people of Daliang, it's hard for me to—"
Before the words were finished, Chu Jiang dodged, and before everyone could react, he broke the neck of a soldier in the front row, drew out the long knife at his waist, and threw it precisely at the emperor's face.
Whoosh, the sound of sharp blades piercing through the air.
A guard in front of the dragon sedan rushed over in a hurry, but before he could block it with his sword, the flying knife directly pierced his head, and the bloody knife tip barely stopped in front of the emperor's eyes.
The emperor broke out in a cold sweat and fell directly from the dragon sedan chair. He lost his composure and shouted loudly.
"The whole army obeys the order! Execute the traitor Chu Jiang! Execute on the spot! Shoot and kill!"
Following an order, thousands of soldiers raised their sharp knives and surrounded and suppressed the man alone.
A bloody massacre kicked off.
The people surrounded by layers of people were flying long knives, and the knives were deadly. After a while, there were corpses with different heads lying around him. Blood splashed on his face and body. evil spirits.
The soldiers were so excited that their eyes turned red, and they roared angrily and rushed towards him.
"He's only one person, he won't last long, what are you afraid of! Let's go together! Kill him!"
Chu Jiang looked up to the sky and laughed, arrogant and arrogant: "Let's all attack together, so I can chop faster!" As he said that, he mercilessly cut off the arm of a soldier who rushed over.
The soldiers screamed and rolled to the ground, and more people screamed and surrounded them.
Everyone did not expect that the dying man could be so fierce and abnormal. Chu Jiang had countless knife wounds, and one or two swords directly penetrated his shoulder, but he didn't realize it. The soldiers below were piled up into a hill.
The emperor originally wanted to see him die with his own eyes, and watched him in the formation with gritted teeth, but several times the man who was far away suddenly broke through the siege, and almost killed him with a knife, so the emperor had no choice but to retreat again. Back off, not daring to approach him again.
The fight lasted for two hours, or even longer.
The man's movements gradually slowed down.His right shoulder was cut so that he couldn't lift it up for a moment, a circle of soldiers finally took aim at the opportunity, roared and stabbed him with their knives together.
stab.
Chu Jiang was pierced by dozens of swords.
The man's raised hand finally stopped in mid-air and slowly fell down.
With a bang, the knife in his hand fell to the ground, his eyes were still open angrily like ghosts in hell, but his pupils gradually became stiff, and finally did not move.
The surroundings were quiet.
"Dead?" After a while, a soldier asked nervously.
"... You're dead..." They cautiously surrounded the man and sniffed the man.
"...Dead, dead! The traitor Chu Jiang has been executed!"
The soldiers who were almost exhausted cheered in commotion, and the news reached the ears of the emperor who was standing behind. The emperor finally breathed a sigh of relief, and then smiled triumphantly.
The soul that had been floating above the Chu River floated down in a daze and landed beside the man.
The man's head was hanging down, his face was covered with blood.Soul's eyes were empty, and he stretched out his hands slowly and dullly, as if he wanted to hold the person's face, and he was still calling for something.
However, no one heard it.
8.
Suddenly, a strange wind blew from nowhere, and the sand and dust raised made people unable to open their eyes, and the soul that was originally floating beside the man was blown away.
The sky darkened at a speed visible to the naked eye, and all the sounds of the birds in the sky stopped.
Suddenly there was a scream from the crowd.
The soldiers opened their eyes and looked at the source of the sound with difficulty, and they froze in horror for a moment.
The man who had been pierced by dozens of sharp knives and died utterly moved.He was holding a piece of armor in his hand, and the owner of that armor had already turned into a puddle of blood like mud.
The man dropped the armor on the ground, and slowly raised his head.
There was no focus in his eyes, and the color of his eyes suddenly turned into a terrifying scarlet, with a strange and bloodthirsty smile on his face.
In the next second, he moved in front of another soldier in an instant, strangling his face.The speed was so fast that the naked eye could hardly keep up with it, and everyone watched helplessly as the soldier turned into a puddle of sand before he could scream.
The man raised his hand to lick the blood on his fingertips, and smiled with satisfaction.
But he said that the Taoist didn't miss him that day.Ordinary people enter reincarnation based on their merits and demerits. Those who have made great achievements will gain the Tao, those who have made great mistakes will be punished, and those who are too obsessed will turn into ghosts and wander around the world.
Since ancient times, people who have made great achievements and demerits are mostly from princes and generals. Moreover, good and evil deeds and demerits are not clear. For example, a border guard like Chu Jiang has countless blood on the battlefield. He has the great demerit of killing, but he also defends his family. The country saves thousands of people and has the great virtue of saving people.Merits and demerits are intertwined, and attaining enlightenment and becoming a demon after death is all in one thought.
Chu Jiang hated this unfair world very much. Although his body was hard to overcome, ordinary people turned into ghosts with so many obsessions, but he turned into a corpse on the spot and fell directly into a demon.
The great evil star appeared in Nanling.
Several people were touched by Chu Jiang one after another, and they turned into sand. Everyone who was shocked by the scene in front of them finally understood.
What they see now is not a living person at all.
The emperor had already disappeared without a trace, and the soldiers also began to throw away their helmets and armor, and fled in a hurry.
But where could they escape, one after another died in Chu Jiang's hands screaming and panicking.At this time, Chu Jiang has no kindness of a living person at all, only one thought left, kill them all, kill them all, the world is unkind, if you owe me one point, you will pay back ten times.
Within a short while, thousands of soldiers were almost slaughtered by him.
Looking at this piece of purgatory on earth, the eyes of the soul gradually turned from being confused all the time to soberness. It shouted something eagerly, and flew in front of Chu Jiang who had turned into evil, as if to stop this terrible event massacre.
But Chu Jiang just passed through his transparent body and stretched out his hands to one frightened and desperate person after another.
The soldiers had been killed, and the massacre spread to the city.The unarmed civilians ran away screaming. A woman holding a baby fell to the ground. Before she could get up, Chu Jiang had already flashed in front of her.
The woman begged him desperately: "Please! Don't kill my child, kill me and let my child go!"
Chu Jiang's scarlet pupils did not fluctuate at all, and he stretched out his hand to the baby.
The soul opened its arms, shook its head in front of him, and seemed to be saying, no, no, but the next moment, the baby and the woman turned into sand together.
Chu Jiang staggered and walked towards the next living creature.
9.
Water trickled down from the hollow eyes of the soul.
Who will save them, save him, don't let this killing continue...
The soul does not have tears, but it does cry.
Tears flowed down her transparent cheeks, and slowly dripped onto the ground, causing real splashes to bloom.
There was a faint orange halo overflowing from the soul's heart, and the originally transparent body gradually became solid, and the whole body of the soul seemed to be lit with bright lights.
The distant and solemn voice seemed to come from ancient times, resounding from the bottom of the soul:
The soul of the living, the heart of the dead...
Redeeming the sin of the undead, the return of the unfinished round...
The wobbly figure looking for the living thing seemed to sense something behind him, stopped in his tracks, turned his head, and saw the shadow of a soul reflected in his scarlet eyes.
Soul lowered his head in a daze, looked at the orange halo in his heart, and stretched out his hand to pull it out.
It was in the shape of a heart.
The soul doesn't know what it is, and somewhere in the dark, he instinctively feels that the soft light has the power to cleanse the darkness and calm the soul.
The soul's feet stepped on the ground, and it held the dancing flame in both hands, and walked towards the Chu River step by step.
Chu Jiang's face was covered with blood, and he stared at it as if he was staring at other prey. When the soul got closer, Chu Jiang slowly raised his hand. As soon as the hand touched it, the soul might die. Ashes to ashes.
It's just that for some reason, the scarlet eyes just stared at it warily, and didn't let go of it for a long time.
The soul walked in front of him.It looked down at the orange halo, the flowing flame seemed to be alive, beating softly.
In the very center of that halo, there is a small area, the brightest, softest, and more beautiful than other halos.
The soul tore off the small piece, held it reverently, and stood on tiptoe.
Chu Jiang was like a quiet beast, allowing it to approach him without moving.
Soul put this small piece of brightest soul gently on Chu Jiang's forehead.
The halo flickered and melted into his forehead.
Chu Jiang felt that he had been wandering in a dark and boundless world, with no exit or end in sight.Suddenly, a beam of warm light penetrated the endless darkness above his head and enveloped him.The familiar and ethereal voice drifted into my heart like a gentle soul-relief song.
said the voice.
"May someone love you, love you, and never hurt you again."
"May you be happy and healthy, no more sorrow, no more hatred."
"May you let go of your obsessions, forgive the world, and forgive yourself."
The darkness is dispelled, everything grows, and the rain is sprinkled back on the earth along with the sun.
The scarlet in Chu Jiang's eyes faded slowly, and the tyrannical aura on his body also disappeared. He finally closed his eyes as if relieved, and fell down slowly.
The soul put the missing piece back into its heart, its body became transparent again, and its feet lifted off the ground.There is a distant voice calling it, which is the call of reincarnation to the souls of the dead.
The soul closed its eyes, turned into a beam of golden light, and disappeared into the sky.
10.
two years later.In the third year of Chengsheng, the Western Wei Dynasty broke Liang, Liang Yuan Emperor Xiao Yi died in Jiangling, and the Southern Dynasty Liang was destroyed.
ten years later.A wandering Taoist passed by Nanling and saw that there was no vegetation and ghosts were in chaos. Recalling the past, he sighed with emotion that this was a catastrophe of God's will.
The group of ghosts roared and wanted to crush the bones of a person, but there was a faint orange light on the forehead of that person, and the group of ghosts could not get close to him, and they wailed day and night.The Taoist shook his head and sighed, moved the man's bones to be buried elsewhere, and built a temple in Nanling to cross the soul.
700 years later.Thirty miles away from Nanling, in a deep mountain, the corpse king was born.
The ignorant man who crawled out of the pile of corpses didn't remember anything, only a voice in his heart was slowly telling the ancient story.
Forgive the world, forgive yourself.
Forgive me, forgive me.
It turns out that my name is Chu Shuzhi.
In the sky full of flames, Guo Changcheng was forcefully pushed out of the barrier.There was the sound of flesh being torn and bones being gnawed in front of him, and a strong smell of blood came over his face.
At the same time, a beam of orange light shot into his forehead, and the memory of thousands of years ago finally came to life.
Chu Shuzhi's last words with a smile still linger in his ears.
"It turns out that your love hole has always been with me, and I will return it to you in a while."
"Fool, you have to be careful next time, don't fall in love with the person you see first."
The place in my heart that had been empty all this time was suddenly flooded by strong emotions like a tsunami.The man's frown and smile, every word he said, every look he looked at, flashed back in front of Guo Changcheng like a revolving lantern.
Thousands of years ago, that man had reached out to him for the first time on horseback.
Thousands of years later, that person made up a pair of lanterns for him.
The man once kissed him fiercely under the cliff covered in blood.
The man once said to him under the gorgeous fireworks, I am serious.
……
……
……
Guo Changcheng's love has finally returned.
That's because Chu Shuzhi died.
