The three of them sneaked into Fengdu wearing ghost faces.

Yu Xinghe didn't know why, it seemed that since he said that "teacher's wife" idiot, his little brother seemed to be in a much better mood.

Normally, Mu Ji was impatient with him, but now his brows and eyes have softened, looking extremely gentle.

Yu Xinghe thought he was going to be beaten up and was very scared, but when he saw Mu Ban's reaction, he became even more scared.

Shivering.

His little senior brother really has the kind of thought in the scriptures for the master.

Woo.

He can't beat the little senior brother, and can't save the master.

Yu Xinghe was dejected.

But Mu Ji didn't feel that there was anything wrong, he was holding Shen Gurong's hand tenderly, walking on Lantern Ghost Street.

With a mental disorder, Shen Gurong couldn't see anything except Mu Ji. In his eyes, Mu Ji was walking in a barren ruins holding hands, surrounded by collapsed and charred ruins, and layers of rotten leaves under his feet.

There was a crescent moon in the sky, illuminating the surroundings strangely and brightly.

Shen Gurong walked for a while before asking curiously, "Aren't you going to see the lanterns?"

Mu Yan was stunned for a moment, then realized that Shen Gurong couldn't even see this ghost street.

"Yeah." Mu Yu squeezed his hand tightly, coaxing him softly, "We'll be there soon."

Shen Gurong didn't know what lanterns to see in this kind of ruins, but the sense of security that Mu Ban gave him was too strong, so he could only nod his head, and obediently followed along.

The wind blew by my ears, like a devil crying.

Shen Gurong listened carefully, the sound in his ears seemed to be the sound of bamboo chi, which was empty and deep.

bamboo chi?

Shen Gurong's eyes lit up.

Mr!

He turned his head following the sound, his eyes turned, and the road behind him was originally an empty ruins, but now it suddenly turned into a bustling long street, and thousands of lanterns will return to the whole city. All the streets are illuminated, spreading all the way to the gate of the city.

Shen Gurong let out an "ah", and a look of joy flashed in his eyes.

"Brother!"

Hearing someone calling him, Shen Gurong was taken aback for a moment, looked down, and found that Shen Xiwu was holding his hand, blinking her eyes and looking at him with a sweet smile.

Shen Gurong asked blankly: "Xi Wu?"

Shen Xiwu nodded her head, holding the sugar figurine in her hands, and said worriedly: "What's the matter, brother? I suddenly became dazed."

She tiptoed to hand the sugar figurine to her brother, and said with a smile, "Give me a bite of Xiwu's sugar figurine."

Shen Gurong looked down at Shen Xiwu, who was wearing a warm yellow dress, and stayed there for a long time before slowly turning her head again.

Behind him was still the endless charred ruins.

Standing beside him, Mu Yu asked in surprise, "Master?"

Shen Gurong suddenly became confused.

He seemed to be standing on a dividing line, on the left was the old burnt-scarred ruined city, and there was only Mu Yu alone;

On the right is a city full of lanterns, making the world noisy.

Seeing that Shen Gurong suddenly fell into a bewildered state, Mu Ji instinctively had a bad premonition, and he firmly grasped Shen Gurong's hand: "Master..."

Shen Gurong looked at him blankly, and the icicles slowly drooped down, and the shadow of Mu Ban was reflected in those gray eyes.

Mu Yan suddenly panicked like never before, because he watched Shen Gurong's eyes, his own shadow became more and more faint and empty.

"Master!"

He held Shen Gurong's shoulder and squeezed his chin to force him to look at him.

"Master, you look at me, I am Mu Yan. I... I will take you to see the lanterns, you look at me!"

Shen Gurong didn't seem to hear what he was saying at all, and the light-colored eyes were finally filled with loneliness.

—he could no longer see the others.

At the moment when she lost her sight, Shen Gurong opened her lips slightly, as if to say something to Mu Yu.

Mu Yan looked at him in astonishment, his heart was beating wildly, but he still held onto Shen Gurong tightly and refused to let go.

Shen Gurong, who was blinded by the spiritual barrier, had no idea who was grabbing him, and struggled violently to separate his hand inch by inch, and slowly took half a step back like a puppet.

He chose the lantern he wanted to see the most.

He wants to go home.

In Shen Gurong's world, he held Shen Xiwu's hand tightly, and ran with a smile on the crowded Lantern Street.

He saw the scholar who was always painting beauties with him, and he passed by the storyteller under the overpass who was talking about half-faced makeup with relish, and the whole city of Lanterns passed him by, illuminating his gray eyes. eyes.

Finally, he stopped by the river where the lanterns were placed.

On the steps of the bluestone slabs, a gentleman in blue was sitting there, his eyes slightly lowered, stroking the bamboo chi in his hand.

At the end of the song, the girl on the bank of the river who had not left the pavilion covered her blushing face and looked at him furtively.

Shen Gurong took Xiwu and walked over, wanting to secretly scare the husband, but before tiptoeing close, the husband sighed softly and said without turning his head: "Gu Rong, these are all children. It's a trick..."

Shen Gurong froze.

Mr. turned his head slightly, Ruyu's face was very handsome, he said lightly: "Are you still a child?"

Shen Gurong didn't feel embarrassed when he was exposed, he led Xi Wu and ran over, sat down next to Mr., propped his chin and said with a smile, "Sir, teach me to play bamboo chi again."

The gentleman's handsome face froze for a moment, he gently stroked the bamboo chi in his hand, his cuffs drooped slightly, and Shen Gurong smelled a breath of sandalwood in a trance.

"gentlemen?"

The gentleman said lightly: "Bamboo Chi can't be learned overnight, Gu Rong needs more patience."

Shen Gurong pouted: "I'm already very patient."

I was patient when I was punished for copying.

Mr. did not speak.

Shen Gurong looked left and right at the girls who still hadn't left, leaned forward and whispered in Mr.'s ear, and said his real purpose: "Every time Mr. plays the bamboo chi, those girls are looking at you. I also want to let you Girls look at me."

Mr. suddenly laughed.

Shen Gurong puffed her cheeks: "What I said is true."

Mr. still laughs.

Shen Xiwu obediently finished eating the sugar figurines at the side, and heard the words to help her elder brother: "What elder brother said is true, every time he sees his elder brother and his sister-in-law loving each other, he also wants to find a beautiful woman to marry."

Shen Gurong blushed immediately, and said in a low voice: "Xiwu, don't dismantle brother's stage indiscriminately, I don't want to get married, I just want to see beauties."

Shen Xiwu nodded with a vague understanding: "Then brother must find many, many beauties to marry."

Shen Gurong: "..."

Sensing the sight of Mr. "Gu Rong, are you a beast?", Shen Gu Rong blushed even more.

"Oh." The gentleman sighed, raised his hand to touch Shen Gu Rong's head, and said helplessly, "What more song do you want to hear?"

Shen Gurong's eyes lit up, and she hurriedly said, "The little widow goes to the grave."

gentlemen:"……"

The gentleman almost coughed up, and turned his head to stare at him.

Shen Gurong couldn't help laughing: "Don't make trouble, sir, then Gu Rong will sing a song of old age."

Mr. has such a good temper, if someone else was here, he would beat his head into a white-headed chant with a bamboo chi.

With a smile, Shen Gurong propped her chin up and watched her husband put the bamboo chi to his lips. Suddenly, there was a burst of burning heat from behind, followed by a shrill scream.

Shen Gurong was taken aback for a moment, then looked back in astonishment.

The bustling and bustling Lantern Street has become a sea of ​​flames at some point.

Shen Gurong's pupils shrank, and she instinctively turned her head to look at her husband, but when she turned her head, she found that the person sitting beside him was Shen Fengxue.

Mr. is long gone.

Shen Fengxue turned a deaf ear to the sea of ​​fire behind him, and rubbed the bamboo chi in his hand with lowered eyes.

Shen Gurong looked at him in confusion.

Shen Fengxue held the bamboo chi reminiscently for a long time before getting up and walking to the steps, condescendingly looking down at Shen Gurong who was sitting on the bottom step.

"Shen Gurong."

Shen Gurong also stood up in a daze, and walked up the stairs with a dazed expression, as if she wanted to stand side by side with him.

But when he was about to step on the last step, Shen Gurong stopped him.

"Think clearly before coming up."

Shen Fengxue said indifferently: "If you take a step forward, you will be escaping the century-old purgatory."

Shen Gurong's footsteps paused, one step behind, looking up at Shen Fengxue.

Shen Fengxue raised his hands, and slowly spread out his palms, revealing two things.

In the left hand is the spiritual fruit given by the Face Tree in the Guhong Secret Realm, which can fuse the inner demons;

In the right hand is the Lihun that Lou Bugui has studied for a hundred years, which can completely strip Shen Fengxue, the inner demon, from his spirit body.

Shen Gurong didn't understand why.

Shen Fengxue said lightly: "Your memories of a hundred years are with me. If you want to accept the reality, you can choose the spiritual fruit; if you want to live in such a muddled and ignorant way, you can use Lihun."

Shen Gurong's pupils shrank, and his chaotic thoughts instantly woke up.

Shen Fengxue said: "Choose."

Shen Gurong looked up at the two things for a long time before trying to reach out to Lihun.

As long as Shen Fengxue, the inner demon, is stripped away, then he... is still the young master Shen Gurong from a hundred years ago, and he will forget all those sufferings.

However, forgetting doesn't mean it didn't happen.

Shen Gurong's hand hesitated for a moment.

After a while, he moved his hand to the spiritual fruit again.

No matter which one Shen Gurong chooses, Shen Fengxue's expression doesn't change a bit, as if it doesn't make any difference to him whether he is fused or stripped.

He seemed to be a compassionate god, looking sadly and ridiculously at Shen Gurong who was caught in a dilemma, with pity and mockery in his eyes.

After an unknown amount of time, Shen Gurong's hand suddenly retracted.

He murmured, "No."

Shen Fengxue said lightly: "What's wrong?"

Shen Gurong just shook his head.

Shen Fengxue asked again: "What's wrong?"

Shen Gurong said blankly: "I'm wrong."

"what?"

"My memory is wrong." Shen Gurong stepped back a step, lowered her eyes, and said softly, "I shouldn't be that kind of person."

And Shen Fengxue, who had been waiting for Shen Gurong to choose by himself, stepped down the steps at this time, looked at him with burning eyes, and said in a low voice: "What kind of person?"

Shen Gurong's fingers were trembling, he said dully: "That kind of person who is willing to close himself because of hatred and because he can't accept the reality."

Shen Fengxue remained silent.

Shen Gurong raised her hand, looked at her slender hands, and said in a low voice: "Mu... When Mu Yan was six years old, I mistakenly thought that I was 16 years old, and mistakenly took the real world as a fairy tale in a book. It means that I have closed myself since the Lantern Festival... But that's not right, it's impossible."

As he spoke, he slowly raised his eyes, the original gray pupils slowly flashed a trace of blood, which turned out to be exactly the same as the heart demon Shen Fengxue.

Shen Gurong said expressionlessly: "My memory was not sealed a hundred years ago, but because of some reason 15 years ago..."

He stared at Shen Fengxue coldly.

"It was taken away by you."
