"I've already given you my seal, that's my commission." Gu Ruoqing's voice echoed in the abyss of the hall.

The voice from the abyss replied, "That's not enough. The secret you want to know is interesting, aren't you curious?"

"You just need to tell me where he is."

The voice under the abyss is mixed with the sound of the wind, like an echo in a sandstone cave: "There is no one in the world that I don't know, as long as you jump down, I will tell you."

"Are you afraid? Don't worry, I will only show you something interesting, there is nothing below."

"There's nothing down there."

When Gu Ruoqing clenched the sword in his hand and leaped for life, he didn't realize the meaning of these words. He thought that even if the voice deceived him, the bottom of the abyss would be nothing more than a large expanse of strange monsters.As long as it is a living creature that exists in the world, there is nothing to be afraid of.

But when he accelerated his descent, gradually, he found that the voice didn't lie to him. There was indeed nothing in the dark abyss below, not even living things.

At first, Gu Ruoqing could still hear the sound of wind in his ears as he fell, his eyes had already entered indiscriminate darkness, there was no difference between opening and closing, the weightlessness made him unable to even feel other parts of his body.

He remained vigilant, ready to summon Wang Lian Yujian to buffer before landing.

But gradually, Gu Ruoqing lost even the sound of the wind, and there was nothing but darkness around him, and he was the only one who was falling forever.

"Hello!" He felt strange and tried to call out to that voice, but no one responded to him, so Gu Ruoqing drew out his sword and tried to lift it into the sky, but found that Wang Lian in his hand had disappeared at some point.

This abyss seemed to become infinitely deep, he kept falling, kept falling, and seemed to be falling for a lifetime.

Gu Ruoqing felt panic in an instant, he couldn't even tell if he was still falling, but he tried all kinds of methods, whether it was bombardment down the abyss, or lighting up the flames, none of them worked.

It turns out that "nothing" is more terrifying than "something".

Come someone.

he thinks.

It's quiet here.

Is there anyone?

Gu Ruoqing's consciousness gradually fainted, he didn't notice that the surrounding darkness had dissipated, and gradually became white and bright, like the daylight shining on a desolate snow-capped mountain, everything he could see was a vast expanse of whiteness.

He opened his eyes and found that he was walking in the snow. The snow scene around him was somewhat familiar. The mountain in the north always seemed familiar to him, but he couldn't remember anything now, and he didn't even know why he was here.

"You can only stay here," a voice from the sky said to him, "You can only stay in this snow mountain, you can't go out, and no one can come in, forever, until you die."

"Why?" he asked.

"Because you have something that doesn't belong to you, and that's the price you have to pay."

So in this uninhabited place, Gu Ruoqing could only rely on a frozen rock, wrapped his robe tightly, and was in a daze by himself every day, watching the only sun in the sky rise from the east and then from the west. Set, but there is no night here, as long as the sun sets, it will quickly rise again from the east, just like an endless cycle.

The snow was getting heavier and heavier, and there was no one here except him.He stayed here year after year. Gradually, his long hair was dyed white by the snow, and his robe became one with the frost. Even all the waves in his eyes were wiped away, leaving only Under this eternal snow-capped mountain scenery.

Suddenly, there was the sound of stepping on the snow, and it reached Gu Ruoqing's eardrums, waking him awake.

someone is coming.

He stood up slowly, walked over, and saw a child with a familiar face, the child's eyes burst out with joy the moment he saw him, like two small flames.

"Master!" The child ran over and hugged him.The temperature on the boy's body was too hot, almost scalding him, which made Gu Ruoqing retreat instinctively.

When he spoke, his voice also smelled of frozen snow: "Although I brought you back, you don't need to worship me as your teacher."

The child failed to hug him, nor was he discouraged. He wiped his little hands, and stood obediently beside him, still smiling brightly: "I like the immortal master, so I want to worship the immortal master as my respect, and stay with the master all the time!"

The child thought that Gu Ruoqing would walk away indifferently, but he didn't expect that Gu Ruoqing was just silent for a long time, and suddenly said: "You won't like this place."

"But I like you!" Yuyang took out a rough rattan chain from his sleeve with a beautiful blue stone wrapped around it, and offered his hands to him like a treasure, "I like you, so I will like you Here, I will stay and stay with Master forever!"

"I will stay with Master for the rest of my life!"

Childish ignorance, export is a lifetime.

Gu Ruoqing looked at the simple but painstakingly woven rattan chain. The blue stone reminded him of the sea that was only mentioned in ancient books.

When the glacier melts, there is a boundless ocean, the sunrise is like fire, the floating light is like gold, flocks of birds are flying by, the waves are like singing, everything is as beautiful as a legend.

By accident, Gu Ruoqing stretched out his hand, took the rattan chain, and put it on his forehead.

As if he had made a big decision, he squatted down slowly, looked into Yu Yang's eyes, and said solemnly like never before in his life: "Okay, I promise you."

Gu Ruoqing took Yuyang's hand, even though the temperature like a flame burned his skin, he still smiled at him as if he didn't know.

Childish ignorance, export is a lifetime.

But he is just a common man.

Laity has the right to believe lies.

When Gu Ruoqing woke up with a start, he was lying on the wooden bed in the inn, the morning light outside the window, the hardworking woman had already gotten up to feed the livestock.

He opened his eyes and looked at the roof, and Yu Yang who was beside him was woken up by him: "Master? What's wrong?"

Gu Ruoqing turned her head, only to realize that he had been holding onto Yu Yang's wrist tightly.He let go of his hand abruptly, and said somewhat unnaturally: "...it's nothing, it's still early, you go on sleeping, I'll go out first."

He walked in such a mess that he didn't even know that his long hair was messed up, and he didn't have the heart to blame Yuyang for how he came in through the window last night.Now he only feels that his heart is alive again after stopping, very chaotic, very empty, very panicky, and very dazed.

Gu Ruoqing walked to an observation rail on the third floor of the inn, watched the sun rise from behind the brick-roofed house, and the morning wind still carried the coolness of last night, which made him think of the bottomless pit-like abyss of His Majesty Wanhua. The memories that come to mind there.

Sure enough, no one is used to the cold, and everyone is just a poor person struggling to survive in loneliness.

Suddenly a familiar voice sounded, followed by a black robe that fell on his shoulders: "There will be a lantern party tonight, how about going shopping with me, master?"

Gu Ruoqing was silent for a while: "...OK."

The night is coming soon, there are lights and festoons everywhere, small lanterns are hung in every household, there are stalls for guessing and gambling in the market, the streets are crowded with people, people are laughing and shouting loudly, the aroma of cold skewers and sweet cakes fragrance.

Gu Ruoqing and Yu Yang bought a lantern by themselves and stood by the river. There were already many flickering lights of various colors floating on the river, one by one hidden in the center of the river and swallowed by darkness.

"Master, do you know the rules of the lanterns at the foot of the mountain? One person writes a wish, and then throws it into the river, and the god of the river will accept it, and then the wish in the lantern will be fulfilled."

Gu Ruoqing rolled up a small roll of rice paper in his hand and put it into a small hole in the lotus lamp: "Of course I know."

"That's good." Yu Yang lightly placed the small lamp on the water, and stretched out his hand to fiddle with the water surface. "It is said that the farther the lantern floats, the more likely the river god will read it."

The two lamps drifted away with the waves, the candlelight made of white wax flickered, and the lotus lamps reflected on the water.

Gu Ruoqing was surprised to find that Yu Yang was seriously making a wish with his eyes closed, so he couldn't help but joked: "The demons also believe in God?"

"Just this once."

Gu Ruoqing smiled: "What wish? So pious?"

Yuyang opened his eyes when he heard the words, and replied seriously: "You can't say it, it won't work if you say it."

Gu Ruoqing looked over and found that Yuyang's lamp was mixed with colorful lanterns, and he couldn't tell which one it was.

The young man beside him suddenly said: "Sometimes I feel that I am really lucky."

"I used to always dream that I was running away in the dark. I kept running and running, trying to get out of the darkness around me, but I could never get out, and I was always coveted by the darkness around me," Yu Yang held Gu Ruoqing's hand , "But suddenly one day, I saw a light in front of me, and I ran as hard as I could. I really liked that light. I felt like he was looking at me."

Gu Ruoqing lowered his eyes, but did not break away from his hand.

"Suddenly one day, he stopped to look at me, and I got a little fluffy light, I was so happy," Yu Yang turned his head and looked into his eyes, "I'm always greedy and vicious, I got a little bit, I just want to get more, I just keep grabbing and grabbing, and in the end, I just want to hold everything he has in my hands, and not let others leak anything."

"I like him so much, so he should be mine alone. No matter who comes to snatch it from me, I will get him. Do you know why? Master?"

Gu Ruoqing finally raised her eyes, meeting those eyes that were always watching him.

There was a sudden sound from the sky, the fireworks of the grand ceremony illuminated the night, and the sparks were like scattered meteors, dispelling all the darkness.

The crowd around the river was in an uproar, they all turned around in amazement, and cheered for the beautiful fireworks. The whole world turned their backs on them to revel.

During this carnival, Yuyang kissed him.

"Because I have nothing, I only have you."

"You won't abandon me, will you? Master."

Gu Ruoqing finally let go of the hand that squeezed Yuyang's shoulder slowly, and closed his eyes as if giving up on himself.

"You'll always be by my side, won't you?"

Gu Ruoqing reached out and stroked the back of Yuyang's neck in a comforting manner. For a moment, she didn't know whether to tell him or herself: "...I will be by your side."

Gu Ruoqing finally returned to the North Hall. The Wanhua Pavilion has always been haunted by ghosts, and a spider sent a letter to him in his room to wait for a new answer. He will give him the answer half a month later.

A new guest came to the north hall recently. As soon as Gu Ruoqing entered the hall and took off his outer robe, he saw a small figure sitting cross-legged beside his desk, eating with his cheeks puffed out.

He couldn't help smiling and said, "Have you asked for leave with Master today?"

As soon as Luo Xiaoan heard that he was back, he immediately turned his head and shouted happily: "Master Immortal!"

Gu Ruoqing saw that he was biting vigorously, holding three or four bright red sugar-coated hawthorns in his left and right hands, and knew that the plate on his desk must have been eaten.

Luo Xiaoan rushed over: "I told Master! I have been working hard to learn Yujian recently, and it will be finished in a few days! I said today that I would come here to practice spells with the immortal master, and Master let me come La!"

Gu Ruoqing wiped the sugar residue from the corner of his mouth, and led him back to the table.As soon as he sat down, Luo Xiaoan followed suit and sat down beside him, showing a bright smile with small white teeth.

Since coaxing him last time, this little boy has been subdued. He has changed from a wild cat to a domestic cat that lives in the North Hall. He meows obediently when he is given sweets, and he always likes to rub against him. Ah, so cute.

Of course, maybe he just thinks Luo Xiaoan is cute, every time Yuyang sees Luo Xiaoan, he will throw him out with a dark face.

Gu Ruoqing saw that Luo Xiaoan had licked the plate of hawthorn on her case table one by one, and knew that Yuyang would be so angry again today.

It's kind of fun to think about.

Just as there were footsteps coming from the door, Gu Ruoqing didn't turn his head, and said with a smile in his voice, "I'm late today, don't even think about eating anything."

"Ruoqing." But unexpectedly, the person who came was not Yuyang, but Qing Liansheng with a serious face, "It's me."

Gu Ruoqing was a little surprised: "Sovereign? Why are you here?"

But unexpectedly, Qing Liansheng didn't say anything, suddenly a blue light flashed in his hand, and Luo Xiaoan, who was lying on the table and eating happily, let out an "ow", and was sent away by the teleportation array under his feet.

The other people in the room also left voluntarily, and the casements were closed by themselves, the daylight was blocked, and the entire room formed a tightly sealed barrier.

Gu Ruoqing frowned and said, "This...what is it?"

Qing Liansheng walked towards him, and his voice sounded like a heavy hammer, slamming on Gu Ruoqing's body: "Yuyang is a devil, you are protecting him, aren't you?"

The author has something to say: Sorry for being late!Late but here!
