Penglai delusion

When Jiang Tan opened his eyes again, what he saw was boundless starlight.

So dark, so clear.

He was in a trance for a while, and couldn't remember where and where he was. He only tilted his head slightly, and a face leaned next to him.

The cheeks are like snow in a lychee bottle, and the lips are like fat on the mirror.

The slender hair ends and horns fell on the face together, rustling like leaves, as attached as silk.Jiang Tan recalled what Xi Mo said before, reached out his hand, and gently pulled off the straps over his eyes.

Against the starlight, a pair of golden pupils are still shining.

Jiang Tan's heart warmed, and he stroked Xi Mo's upturned forehead hair, seeing that the person closed his eyes, and snuggled into his palm obediently.

"Xi Mo."

"En." Xi Mo responded, put his wrists together in his palm and kissed him lightly, then leaned down again, and said against the tip of his nose, "Are you hungry?"

Before Jiang Tan nodded, Xi Mo had already dotted a small ruddy fruit on the corner of his dimple.

"Blood lotus seed. Have you ever heard of it, Master?"

Jiang Tan took the vermilion fruit and stared around, "No."

Xi Mo couldn't help but smile, "Does Master know where we are now?"

Jiang Tan sat up, looked around, and found himself lying in a boundless sea of ​​stars.

But those outside the eyes are...

"This is the last starlight." Xi Mo lowered his voice deliberately, "We are under the ruins, Master."

Jiang Tan was stunned.

"The sky of the sky has the first ray of starlight in the world, and that light gave birth to the immortal dragon family. The sea of ​​all phenomena, forged the only ghost dragon in the world, and naturally gave birth to the last starlight."

Xi Mo took off an obsidian-like star, twisted it on his fingertips and played with it.

"When I met Xuzi when I was young, I asked him about a hexagram. At that time, I didn't understand it. I thought the hexagram was referring to my mother's place. But now that I think about it, I know what the hexagram means."

He sighed softly, "At that time, all of my closest relatives were no longer alive, and the astrolabe pointed directly at the source of my soul system—the hidden scales in the abyss, which is the dragon king's horn sealed in the abyss; The ghost king soul hidden in the ruins."

"Speaking of which, the lotus flower I inherited from the past is the Dai Lian that Tu Li picked from Xuanwu's back."

"At that time, Tuli was fighting everywhere, and the five holy beasts who were the pillars of heaven and earth were all eroded by his ghost energy, and had to use the method of dormancy to maintain their lives. Only the Xuanwu beast died in Lost Lotus, and its body was directly swallowed by Yin Shan .After the Nine Fields Picture was completed again, Tu Li used Dailian Zhipi and Ghost Dragon Nilin to reshape my body. So my heart is now a black lotus, neither moving nor jumping. But as long as the teacher Father kisses me, it will not only bloom, but also emit fragrance."

Jiang Tan has already eaten the dripping blood lotus seeds.The small fruit melts in the mouth and turns into honey to flow into the heart and lungs.He was thinking about it, when he heard the words, he leaned over and kissed the black scales at the corners of Xi Mo's eyes.

Xi Mo smiled lightly.

"Is it tasty?"

"Ah."

"No matter how you preserve the living things here, they can only survive for a few hours, and they will wither soon if they are out of the range of vitality." Xi Mo blinked, "And once the Netherland is irrigated with the blood of the ghost king, a lotus will grow in an instant. There is a lotus seed in the lotus, eating it can prolong life. Thinking about it this way, does it mean that Master lives on my blood?"

Jiang Tan was slightly taken aback.

"Is master full? If you want to eat, I'll pick a few more." Xi Mo leaned forward, showing his generosity and sincerity as a necessary ingredient.

"No, that's enough."

"Being so decisive, isn't it that your heart hurts?" Xi Mo's eyebrows curved, "Actually, I used to envy Master very much. Although I would say it hurts, it seems that I can't feel the pain. No matter what kind of injury you suffered at that time, your There seems to be no trace left on my body or heart. So I always think, Master, how can you live like this?"

Jiang Tan pondered for a while, "The so-called living has a different meaning for everyone."

"Oh, what is the meaning of Master?"

"Look." Jiang Tan said calmly, "The past, the present, and the future. If you have seen it, you have lived it."

"Is that so?" Xi Mo whispered, "Master's idea is unique. The meaning of other people's life is to engrave their own traces in the world. Does the master want to engrave the world in the heart? But once the soul disappears, If it is scattered, there will be nothing left, and there will be no life."

"Meaning does not exist innately, but needs to be given by oneself." Jiang Tan said lightly, "Besides, the traces you left will not dissipate easily. When the world is engraved on you, you will also be engraved on the world."

"Then what do you think of me?" Xi Mo tilted his neck and raised his jaw, "When you are inscribed on me, will I be inscribed on you?"

"Ah."

"I understand." Xi Mo suddenly realized, "Master has always had me in his heart."

Jiang Tan nodded, and saw the man fall into his arms, and his tone became softer: "By the way, I lied earlier. In fact, I still have dragon nature in me, and Master's coercion can still control me. The spiritual shock under the moon seemed to be ineffective, but it was actually the result of my all-out resistance with Lian Xin. It was just to hide the loopholes and prevent the master from interrupting the ceremony suddenly after arriving in the ghost world."

He sighed, "But now, no matter how fearless I am, I still have to be afraid of Master. Thinking about it, I feel a little bit unwilling."

Jiang Tan snorted at his slightly messy hair as a comfort.

"Is it good to touch? Or do you like milk fox more?" Xi Mo rubbed his palm back with a smile, "Anyway, I like the name Xuedi. If you put it all together, you can count my name on it."

"Yeah." Jiang Tan stroked the top of his hair vigorously.

"While it's still early, let me tell Master about the ghost king's lineage." Xi Mo leaned between his arms, his eyes rippling like autumn water, "I know Master wants to record everything he sees and hears. These I am the only one who knows about the matter now. I am the only one in this family, and I will not wait until it is overdue."

He passed the finger with the cedar ring to Jiang Tan's lips, and kissed someone with downcast eyes, and immediately showed a satisfied smile that the scheme had succeeded.

Under the original black moon, what was born in the immortal body should have been the wind of freedom and the fire of hope.

Even if it is illusory, it will turn into wind and travel, even if it is dead ashes, it will be rekindled into light-this is the wind and light left by the immortals to the world.

But when Yanxi and Tuli parted, neither of them could comprehend this truth, which led to the initial tragedy.

Then freedom is detained for power, and hope is devoured for profit.The two kill each other, and the three worlds die together.

After the Battle of the East China Sea, the boundaries of each other blocked each other.The ghost world alone lost its source of life, and its inner vitality was gradually exhausted.The crowd of ghosts is like a broken soul pulse, suffering from torment, weeping day and night, unable to collide with the seal, and also infected by the evil thoughts scattered by the ghost king in the ruins, entering nirvana like sand, and being chased away by the devil.

Nearly a hundred years ago, the ghost world gradually became a demon realm.Tuli, who had dissipated all his grievances by devouring Yan Yi, regained his clarity, knowing that if things go on like this, chaos will inevitably ensue.That is to mobilize the last ray of immortal soul remaining in the body, pry open the spiritual nail, eliminate the spiritual consciousness, pass through the gate of the heart, and be reborn in the human world.Waiting for the unknown inheritor to break the seal one day, inherit the past memories and innate missions, reconnect the three realms, make life and death merge again, and eliminate the catastrophe of annihilation.

"Master, do you know why you are the only one who can stand shoulder to shoulder with Yan Xi among the demon kings?" Xi Mo said mysteriously, "Because your body is fused with human blood. Humans are the most important link."

There was a smile in his eyes, and he pressed his finger on Jiang Tan's lips, "This is the reason why Yan Xi's blood that was discovered in Tuli's tomb has declined—the birth of a real immortal is a statement of human beings, and the descendants of the immortal family will be The fusion of human blood can inspire the greatest strength."

Jiang Tan thought for a while and found that it was indeed the case.The Yan family has always adhered to intermarriage within the clan in all dynasties, and only Yan Qing married a foreign clan for revenge.However, the pure blood of the blue bird was completely destroyed in the battle of Kunlun, and only one half-breed passed down the spirit vein of the sun, which made this karma possible.

"The ghost aura on my body is the remnant flower condensed from the soul of Tuli. It chased after the aura of Wenxu and Fangxun, and was finally attracted by the stone clove that had been in the hands of the two of them, and descended to my mother. In the body of the relatives, the successor of the ghost king was naturally raised."

Xi Mo applied force with his fingertips, drawing Jiang Tan's light-colored lips deeper and deeper.

"When I first received the disciple's inheritance, I said that I wanted you to kill me because I saw all the memories about the past. I also knew exactly what happened when the ghost energy came out of my body and I lost consciousness."

Xi Mo paused for a moment, feeling sad.

"Master, there is something else hidden about the extermination of the Xi family. At first, the people from Kunlun didn't intend to kill, as long as my whole family was enslaved in Qilian for generations. My father refused, and the head demon cultivator threatened my life. I kill on the spot. And the ghost energy in my orifice will come out of the body like a knife when the fatal disaster is imminent, and carry out indiscriminate slaughter... So the culprit I have been looking for is actually myself."

Jiang Tan didn't expect the whole story to be so tortuous.Suddenly, he wondered in a trance, what the father finally issued was not a massacre order.

"I should have died. But if I die under Qilian Mountain, I will just be a complete soul vessel, and I won't have all kinds of things after that. I won't meet Master again, and I won't feel love again." Xi Mo took a deep breath , "So, Master, thank you."

"Thank you for saving me countless times. Thank you for making my mother's coffin and burying her for me." His eyes were full of joy, and his grief turned into gold, "Thank you, Jiang Tan. Although my heart is no longer I can dance, but now because of you, I can still feel the temperature of being alive."

Xi Mo raised his neck, and pressed Jiang Tan's lips like a dying man seeking nectar.

"In the past, I thought the biggest regret was that people couldn't empathize with each other, but the greatest luck is actually this." He sipped the coolness from the tip of his lips, sucking out a scent of lotus flower, "I want to share everything about me with you I am happy, but I don’t want you to feel even a trace of my sadness.”

He was very close to him, but he couldn't bear to close his eyes.

"Master, you just need to look at me." Xi Mo took a handful of stars and dotted them in the snow-covered hair of Jiangtan, "Look at me, and I can forget all my sufferings." .”

Jiang Tan held his face in his hands and looked at him seriously.

"Although I'm afraid of pain, but I know you love me and will always love me, then I will never be afraid." Xi Mo slightly tilted his head, put the finger on his lips into his mouth, and bit down on it. Putting the Qianqiu Ring under his tongue, he smiled slightly, "Master, I want to ask you to do something."

He took out a transparent black jade box from his arms.

"After the long star in the western sky falls, you start from here and hand over this soul box to the head. There are five living souls in it. Since the souls have not dissipated, they can be reborn."

Floating shadows swayed in the molten gold pupils, brewing a bit of warmth.

"Senior brother's soul is contained in senior sister's Juesi knife. As long as it is fused with the soul, it can be revived. The four souls of the Qu family and the Yu family were all solidified by the Kunlun ice coffin. Yu. Elder Ling Shu should know that as long as a physical body is refined, they can all be resurrected."
