When the devil respects life as a waste

Xie Lingjun stayed in Miaoyin Pavilion for another few months.

During this period, he accepted the cross-examination of Miaoyin Pavilion, and finally realized that Chang Xiangsi died because his birthday was over, so he let him go.

In the mourning hall, Xie Lingjun's jade coffin had been drilled into Chang Acacia's harp, and the harp was worn on Xie Lingjun's ear. The people in Miaoyin Pavilion had nothing to say about this, so they had to admit that it was not good to forcefully snatch it from his ear. Konghou.

There was no fanfare at the funeral, and very few people came to express their condolences after knowing the news.

On the contrary, the mourning and music played by the disciples in the pavilion for Chang Acacia was very touching and almost moved people to tears, even Xie Lingjun will never forget it for the rest of his life.

Six months after Chang Xiangsi's death, news of her death spread throughout the Three Realms.Demons, ghosts, human races, etc., know that No. 1 of the Three Realms has passed away, and it will be the late spring of the next year.

When Xie Lingjun left Miaoyin Pavilion, it happened to be a full year, and the spring breeze was harmonious again.

In such a season, it seems that all the sorrows are swept away, only the flourishing business of all things growing, and the turbulent joy in the air.

By the time the monks in Miaoyin Pavilion gathered and the sky was boiling, Xie Lingjun had followed Jiang Xie away from Boundless Anling for about a whole spring.

When Jiang Xie came, his face was full of exhaustion, only his straight spine was not bent, and his usual neat attire was still meticulous, but he could see that what he had experienced was definitely not a joy.

He didn't say much, and Chang Xiangsi's death was very plain, as if he had expected it early on.

This made Xie Lingjun wonder whether Jiang Xie had already learned about this from Chang Xiangsi, or whether Chang Xiangsi's death was caused by Jiang Xie alone.

"On New Year's Eve, Ji Yanran must have invited everyone to gather together. Unfortunately, I was on my way to the west land, so I couldn't get together with them again." After seeing Xie Lingjun, Jiang Xie didn't mention Chang Acacia or Shen Zhengze, That's what he said.

Xie Lingjun suddenly felt very heavy.

Just like Chang Xiangsi kept mentioning her mother before she died, Jiang Xie also started to mention the elders of Qingyang Pavilion.This made him extremely uneasy.

He was used to Jiang Xie's cold face and warm heart, and when he heard Jiang Xie unabashedly expressing his nostalgia for his companion, at the same time a warm current rose in his heart, and a cold current also rose.

"The days are still long, and there will always be a day when we will meet again." Xie Lingjun spoke in deliberation, and his words were quite tentative.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Xie smiled wryly, and said lightly: "Let's talk about it, maybe there is."

Xie Lingjun couldn't help feeling sad when he heard this.

Jiang Xie has already regarded what is bound to happen as an existence that needs to be "talked about" and "maybe", as if he put his own death aside, just like Chang Xiangsi before his death, Jiang Xie also began to reminisce about his tenderness.

Jiang Xie's time is short, Xie Lingjun had already foreseen it.

This premonition had been haunting him since thirty-two years ago, when he caught a glimpse of the first white hairs on the other's head, but it had never been as strong as it was now.

Xie Lingjun just experienced Chang Xiangsi's sudden long resignation, and when he saw Jiang Xie again, he naturally thought of Chang Xiangsi's situation before his death, as if he could imagine Jiang Xie's dying situation together.

This made him rarely resist.

"Take Gun Bingnuo?" This was the second sentence Jiang Xie said to him, a question.

Xie Lingjun felt more and more painful, and replied softly: "Yes."

After taking away Gunbingnuo, Chang Xiangsi died.Later, Xie Lingjun couldn't help but wonder if Chang Xiangsi could live another 2000 years if she didn't take Gu Bingnuo, until her birthday was over before she died.

But if this is the case, Shen Zhengze's demons can't be solved, will he be suppressed at the bottom of Lingshan Valley for more than 2000 years?

Xie Lingjun's thoughts reached a fork in the road, he was in a dilemma, and finally had to think: if there is no if, Chang Xiangsi is dead, and Gun Bingnuo has already been obtained.

So far, the two most rare potions for making rid of inner demons are in his hands.

"Let's go back to Beiming Continent." This was the third sentence Jiang Xie said.

Xie Lingjun didn't answer immediately, but ignored Jiang Xie and asked, "What about Shen Zhengze?" He always suspected that Jiang Xie had forgotten about Shen Zhengze.

Jiang Xie stared at him deeply, and said to him: "It is because of Shen Zhengze that I will take you to the Beiming Continent. You will know when you follow me."

"Okay..." Xie Lingjun finally agreed, but the answer was very soft, so light that it quickly disappeared in the east wind.

The master and apprentice said goodbye to the former Elder He Xian and the current Master of the Miaoyin Pavilion, and after a few polite words, Yu Jian began to fly to the Beiming Continent.

Before leaving, Xie Lingjun asked: "Master, won't you go and see Chang Xiangsi?"

"I saw him a lot when he was alive." Jiang Xie said slowly, "His handsome face is engraved in my mind, and I don't think he wants me to remember his appearance after death. Don't watch it yet, For me and for him, it is nothing more than grief."

Xie Lingjun sighed secretly, and thought: For Master, visiting Chang Xiangsi's body is a matter of "increasing grief".

At this time, he thought that Jiang Xie was sitting in front of Xie Changhuai's coffin when he carried the shattered Shen Zhengze to the pagoda.

He also thought that the three of them, master and apprentice, were in Xie Changhuai's former residence, and Jiang Xie was walking in the sword room, counting the origins of the swords one by one, remembering everything about Xie Changhuai clearly.

It can be seen that sometimes, even if it "increases sadness", I can't help but read and think about it over and over again.

When he arrived at Beiming Continent, Jiang Xie did not lead Xie Lingjun back to Qingyang Pavilion, nor did he take him to the Beiming Sect by Poyang Lake, but went to the mortal world.

"Shen Zhengze is 52 years old this year." Jiang Xie started and said.

Xie Lingjun didn't know why Jiang Xie brought this up. Thinking about it carefully, could it be that something happened to Shen Zhengze's parents?

Sure enough, Jiang Xie's next words made his heart sink: "His parents gave birth to him when he was 21 years old, and he is now 73 years old. Logically speaking, there should not be much time left. The 30-somethings who were suppressed at the bottom of Lingshan Valley by Shen Zhengze During the years, the Shen couple kept sending letters to Qingyang Pavilion, saying that they missed Shen Zhengze, fearing that they would not live long enough, and asked Shen Zhengze to come back to accompany them to die.

Xie Lingjun was silent for a while upon hearing this, and finally said in a low voice, "I'll accompany them."

"It's rare that you have such kindness...Shen Zhengze must have been very moved after hearing this..." Jiang Xie paused every time he said a word, as if he was organizing his words, "But, they don't need your kindness anymore."

Xie Lingjun frowned instantly, guessing what Jiang Xie meant: "Did Shen Zhengze's parents pass away?"

Jiang Xie said, "That's right, it was at the end of last year."

Xie Lingjun briefly recalled that the end of last year was the time when everyone in Miaoyin Pavilion mourned Chang Acacia, and it was also the time when He Xian succeeded as the master of Miaoyin Pavilion.

"I'm so sorry." Xie Lingjun said sadly.

Jiang Xie looked at Xie Lingjun in surprise, he actually heard the word "regret" from Xie Lingjun's mouth, he is not an apprentice who would regret what he has done.

After Xie Lingjun finished that short sentence, he didn't go on to say why he regretted it, leaving Jiang Xie to guess.

Xie Lingjun used to feel that he had nothing to regret in his life, but now he realizes that he never regretted it because he didn't have anyone he cared about.Now he felt sorry for Shen Zhengze very much, and he didn't want to see Shen Zhengze lost and sad.

For such a major event as the death of his parents, Shen Zhengze was pushed to the bottom of the valley because of his inner demons, and he couldn't come back to accompany them for the last time, which was definitely unacceptable.

With Shen Zhengze's temperament, he may not know how to blame himself and feel guilty. He thought over and over again about the disappointment and nostalgia his parents had for him before his death, and felt that he was the most incompetent and unfilial child in the world.

Xie Lingjun regretted that before the Shens and his wife passed away, he actually wasted his time in Miaoyin Pavilion, but he did not expect that they were old enough to bring them from the Beiming Continent to the foot of Lingshan Mountain.

Compared with ordinary people, the life of a monk is too long. Ten years and a hundred years pass by in the blink of an eye. How can you deliberately pay attention and count on your fingers?

Only a mortal would stick a calendar on the wall, tear off a page every day that passed, and treat every day as a treasure.

Thirty-two years have passed, but Xie Lingjun felt as if it was just another day, as if he had just woken up in the cold spring residence, as if he was reborn and saw Shen Zhengze waiting in front of the noon gate for the first time.

In this little time, even a strand of hair on their sideburns could not be shaken, but Shen Zhengze's parents were taken away.

Xie Lingjun thought to himself, if he could let Shen Zhengze accompany his parents through the last journey of his life, would everything be different?

It's the same sentence-it's a pity that there is no if.

As the two walked forward, the crowd became less and less crowded.

Xie Lingjun finally realized something was wrong, and asked: "Master, isn't this the most lively place? I remember that not far away are two streets where officials gather, why is it so lonely and desolate now?"

"Because it was attacked at the end of the year, several blocks were burned down." Jiang Xie said calmly.

Xie Lingjun's heart tightened, and he murmured: "The parents of Shen Zhengze..."

Jiang Xie continued: "The Shen family was killed in the attack at the end of the year, and none survived. When I received the news and rushed here, the embers were not extinguished and were still burning. It is the true fire of Samadhi, which cannot be extinguished by running water. , someone deliberately set fire to hurt people. Jiang Zheng used spiritual water to extinguish the flames, but the dead people could not be brought back to life."

Xie Lingjun suppressed his anger, and asked in a deep voice, "Who is it?"

Who committed such a heinous thing?

"Someone must have planned all of this. The election day was good. Except for Shen Zhengze, the rest of the Shen family gathered together." Jiang Xie said, "But neither Jiang Zheng nor I found any clues, and all traces were destroyed by the fire. .”

"The entire block was burned..." Xie Lingjun said.

Hearing this, Jiang Xie understood what Xie Lingjun meant, so he explained: "Although the entire block was burned, when we arrived, everyone here was burned to death. No one survived, so no one can tell the cause of the fire. Where did the fire start. But after investigation, the place where the Shen family is located has been burned the longest. The arsonist has no chance, but he still leaked his target."

Xie Lingjun couldn't imagine Shen Zhengze's mood after hearing the news. If he could avenge the dead souls, would the other party feel better?

"Master, is there anyone you suspect?" Xie Lingjun asked.

Jiang Xie looked at the ruins worriedly, shook his head and said, "Not yet."

Xie Lingjun thought of one thing, and immediately asked: "I still remember that 32 years ago, the head of Jiang activated the formation and sent us to the West Land Glacier. Wen Huaijin came to Qingyang Pavilion covered in blood and said that the Northern Ming Continent was attacked by demon cultivators. Will this event of exterminating the door be related to this matter?"

While speaking, the spring breeze blew, and a burning smell came from a distance, which was pungent and unpleasant.

The wind seemed to be mixed with the smell of blood. After Xie Lingjun smelled it, his stomach churned, and he managed to hold back his retching.

Jiang Xie couldn't help frowning in the wind, and said angrily: "After I left Qingyang Pavilion, I handed over the matter to Ji Yanran. During this period, there were many deaths and injuries in Beiming Continent, but there were still no injuries." We can catch the culprit. Although most of them are caused by demon cultivators, but..."

"Is there any internal response?" Xie Lingjun couldn't help interjecting.

Jiang Xie glanced at Xie Lingjun unexpectedly, he didn't expect Xie Lingjun to say it so frankly.

"Yes."

Xie Lingjun sighed and said a name: "Yan Meng."

"You suspect this person too?" Jiang Xie was a little surprised, "I have suspected him for a long time. The first thing I did when I returned to Qingyang Pavilion this time was to look for him, but he disappeared. I asked Ji Yanran , I realized that Yan Meng bid farewell to everyone on the day we left Qingyang Pavilion, saying that he was going to travel around and could no longer stay in Qingyang Pavilion."

Xie Lingjun chuckled.

If he saw Yan Meng again, he would draw his sword and kill him without blinking.The truth of the matter, the dusty memory, these are insignificant compared with the torture he suffered.

Xie Lingjun no longer wanted to know the truth from Yan Meng. It would be great if he could know, but it would be better if he couldn't. Killing Yan Meng would also relieve some of the anger in his heart.

Seeing Xie Lingjun's unpredictable expression, Jiang Xie asked, "I brought you here, do you know why?"

Xie Lingjun came back to his senses, lowered his eyes and restrained his mind: "What?"

Jiang Xie's complexion also became very serious, and his tone was more serious than ever before: "I want to ask you, seeing the scene where the people were devastated and the earth was scorched black. You want to investigate to the end and give an explanation to the dead thousands of souls. ; Or should we continue to search for spiritual materials for Shen Zhengze, and prepare the potion of 'Cleansing Xuanlan' to remove the demons?"

"what……"

When Xie Lingjun heard the question, his mind went blank for a moment, he was unwilling to think about this question, let alone make any choice.

"Don't run away." Jiang Xie said in a slightly stern tone, "If you want to go, then Shen Zhengze, then I will accompany you to the nine heavens and the abyss. You have both Gunbingnuo and Tianlingzhu, and the other spiritual materials can be gathered for up to 300 years But if you want to pity the thousands of mortals on the Beiming Continent, don’t want to see them killed for no reason, and want to give them an explanation, then you should investigate with Ji Yanran and Jiang Zheng. Which one do you choose? ?”

In the late spring breeze, the breath of death blew waves, continuously pouring into Xie Lingjun's nasal cavity, lungs, and into his body.

"Tell me, it's useless to hesitate." Jiang Xie saw through Xie Lingjun's heart and asked forcefully.

Xie Lingjun finally turned his head to look at Jiang Xie, looking at each other, there was a dark tide in the air.

"I choose the former." Xie Lingjun didn't keep Jiang Xie waiting, and quickly expressed his inner choice.

Jiang Xie pursed his lips, then nodded silently, without saying anything about Xie Lingjun's choice.

Jiang Xie thought to himself: "Does Xie Lingjun think that Shen Zhengze is the only one who will save Shen Zhengze and him; and the Beiming Continent has been dead for 30 years, and there are a large number of monks to investigate, so there is no shortage of him?"

After Xie Lingjun finished speaking, he also fell into silence.

This silence can be understood as - he is very dissatisfied with his choice, because no matter what he chooses, another discarded option will cause him pain.

Of course, it can also be understood as—he is very firm in his choice, because no matter what he chooses, another option is no longer within his consideration, and he focuses on the path he chose.

At this time, there is no need to explain, and any words will appear redundant.

Xie Lingjun was expressionless, unable to read any thoughts from his face.

Jiang Xie glanced at the scorched earth, and said, "I will ask you one last question. Before I go to heaven with you to find spiritual materials, do you want to go to the bottom of Lingshan Valley to take a look at Shen Zhengze and tell him the news of his parents' death? "

"No need." Xie Lingjun shook his head.

It is very rare for a mortal to be seventy, and Shen Zhengze can already guess that his parents will not live long, so why bother to tell the other party such a tragedy as "your parents were burned to death by gangsters"?

·

At the end of the year [-] of Daoyuan.

Not long ago, Huiming suppressed the inner demons for Shen Zhengze, and the breathless Sanskrit sound still echoed in Shen Zhengze's ears.

Shen Zhengze smiled and thought to himself: "What's the use? It seems that I am getting more and more out of control today. Could it be that, as Cen Tingyu said, he is a born demon and is going to cause harm to the world?"

After being baptized by the curse for the first time, he did have a relaxed life for 50 years, and his mood became clearer.

But if the heart demon could be suppressed so easily, he would not be imprisoned/confined at the bottom of this spiritual valley by Huiming and tortured.

But after the first 50 years have passed, the demons will recur in the next ten years, and he will have to accept another long baptism.Then the time for the inner demon to be suppressed became shorter and shorter.

The most recent episode was only five years away from the last one.After five years of leisure, another 30 long years of suffering.

Shen Zhengze raised his hand, casually covered the Buddha's light on his head, and silently calculated in his heart.

When I first came to Lingshan, it was in the 240th year of Daoyuan, and now [-] years have passed.

Thinking again, Xie Lingjun said before leaving that as long as he waited at the bottom of the Ling Valley for 300 years, he would find the medicine to get rid of the demons in his heart.There are still 85 years left before the day Xie Lingjun promised.

"What if he doesn't come back?" Shen Zhengze smiled slightly and muttered, "Then I'm afraid I can't help but force my promotion, and use the power of the super-superior soul to break through the chain of subduing demons."

Shen Zhengze tugged on the demon-subduing chain in boredom.

The sound of "Ding Dong" and "Ding Dong" was heard endlessly, mixed with the biting sound of the impact of the cold spiritual water.

"It's a pity, but I can't hear these sounds." Shen Zhengze sighed.

He found himself losing his voice when his first demon relapsed.He talked to Huiming who came to recite the curse for him, but the other party ignored him, and finally told him coldly: "The 'knowledge' aggregate of the five aggregates, the eyes, ears, mouth, nose, tongue, and body, the benefactor has lost his 'mouth'."

Shen Zhengze was still at a loss at that time, pulling on the chain, and asked frantically: "What? Master, what are you talking about?"

In fact, he has already sensed it a little bit, right?That's why when Huiming told the truth, he became quite angry from embarrassment.

Now that 200 years have passed, he can no longer hear the sound. It's not that his hearing has weakened day by day, but that he suddenly lost the connection with the heaven and earth on a certain day, and there is no sound in his ears anymore.

There is no chirping of birds, no stirring of spiritual springs, no clanging of chains, not even the sound of talking to oneself.

The more he couldn't speak or hear, the more Shen Zhengze wanted to speak.

"Xie Lingjun—" he shouted loudly, but no sound came out of his mouth.

"If you haven't come back to see me within a hundred years, I'll just ignore it and break through the shackles myself! I'll go find you. I want to meet you..."

At the end, the smile deepened, but the tone became softer.

Shen Zhengze sighed, pulling a chain and shaking it at will - this is his rare entertainment for more than 200 years.

The author has something to say: Hey, didn’t I just typed the words yesterday?Why do I have to code again today... I'm crying...
