After the last light in the void disappeared, the sound of distant water flowed slowly, and the unreachable dark background around seemed to melt into a thin cloud. Mu Linjiang got up and waved his sleeves to put away the chair. Birdsong and wind sounded through the fog Gradually, in the brighter and brighter light, different scenery passed by me like a revolving lantern.

The clear waterfall, the swaying shadows of the old trees and the fragrant grasses everywhere, in a certain stagnation, the sky and the earth suddenly freeze, and Mu Linjiang's feet are heavy, and he stands on the solid ground again.

This is a place he has never been to, but it is still within the space of Chang Xi's sword spirit. Mu Linjiang turned his lower body, stopped abruptly, and looked forward fixedly. Ye Yunzhou leaned against the tree, light It hangs down from the gaps in the branches and leaves, coating his peaceful sleeping face with a misty and psychedelic light gold, like floating dust that may be scattered into the sky at any time.

Mu Linjiang raised his hand, and then slowly put it back. He had seen too many activities of Ye Yunzhou in his memory, and he was not used to the quiet and well-behaved face in front of him.

He walked forward silently, squatted down slowly, and used his fingertips to brush away the hair on Ye Yunzhou's temples. Ye Yunzhou was Xiao Chuan, two completely different faces merged together, and now he had no unacceptable resistance.

The corner of Mu Linjiang's mouth curled up into a faintly visible arc, and at this moment, Ye Yunzhou suddenly opened his eyes.

His sharp gaze was directly fixed on Mu Linjiang, and after a moment, it turned into a calculated scrutiny, and he glanced at Mu Linjiang with a smile.

"Long time no see, Mr. Mu." Ye Yunzhou stretched slightly, leaning against the tree trunk and spreading his arms.

Mu Linjiang subconsciously raised his face, and the hand resting on Ye Yunzhou's face was clenched into a fist. The storm that engulfed Xiao Chuan in Qinglei Mountain had passed for a long time, but when he heard Ye Yunzhou's voice again, all the regrets in his heart turned into happiness With the anger that had been kept in the dark for 300 years, he withdrew his right fist and slammed it towards Ye Yunzhou.

Ye Yunzhou didn't dodge or dodge, he didn't even blink his eyes, the airflow blew the hair on his forehead, Mu Linjiang's fist stopped at the tip of his nose, finally couldn't bear it, then lowered a little bit, hitting his chest lightly and not hard.

"I thought you really wanted to beat me up." Ye Yunzhou laughed.

Mu Linjiang gouged him out, stood up and turned his back: "Do you still think I beat you less?"

"Each of us wins or loses, it doesn't count." Ye Yunzhou also supported the tree to get up, and as soon as he made a detour in front of Mu Linjiang, Mu Linjiang turned around again and snorted coldly.

Ye Yunzhou folded his arms and raised his eyebrows: "You owe me your life."

"You still dare to mention it?" Mu Linjiang glanced at him from the corner of his eye, "How many times have you counted on me, do you remember? If I spare your life, you should be thankful."

"Xiao Chuan plotting against you, it's none of my business, Ye Yunzhou." Ye Yunzhou said calmly.

"Then it's none of your business for Xiao Chuan to save me." Mu Linjiang also replied.

"But if you engrave Chunjiang Tingyue on the magic weapon, I will be jealous of Xiao Chuan." Ye Yunzhou said arrogantly.

Mu Linjiang was speechless for a while, and turned around: "It seems that you really want to fight again."

"I remembered everything, I remembered everything." Ye Yunzhou looked at him with piercing eyes, "Why don't you like Xiao Chuan's identity, but like me? What's the difference between me and back then?"

Mu Linjiang didn't want to answer at first, but he moved Ye Yunzhou wherever he looked, insisting on getting an answer.

"Is it important?" Mu Linjiang asked heavily.

Ye Yunzhou closed his eyes and thought for a while, then pretended to be relaxed and said, "In order not to lose you like before."

Mu Linjiang's heart trembled slightly, and it was no longer difficult to show a cold face to Ye Yunzhou. He warned with his tongue: "As long as you don't seek death yourself, I have been in the Palace of Solitary Night, and you will not lose me."

"Boring love talk, your provocative skills have declined again." Ye Yunzhou shook his head in disappointment, he listened to the sound of the waterfall splashing on the stone, and said softly, "You have read a lot, Chang Xi likes to meddle in other things , it’s fine to just let you watch the part where I sacrifice myself to save you for others... The image I’ve worked so hard to create is ruined, what a waste.”

"Are you scared?" Mu Linjiang squinted at him.

"I don't know what fear is." Ye Yunzhou said truthfully.

"Don't worry, I haven't seen anyone before. Although I really want to hit you, I will try my best to restrain this kind of kindness." Mu Linjiang joked, "One of the ten famous swords on Hongmeng Island, hmph, this is considered to be picked up by Lonely Night Palace. It's a bargain."

Ye Yunzhou glanced over several times, and saw that Mu Linjiang's attitude towards him was the same as usual, even compared with the time when he used Xiao Chuan as a pseudonym in his memory, he was almost gentle. After waking up, he was so cautious towards Mu Linjiang. He quietly let go of the guessing, and laughed secretly at himself that he also began to worry about gains and losses.

"Oh, I just remembered when you said this. The Nightmare Demon Lord knew my real name. Fortunately, Chang Xi took away my soul in time to prevent him from prying into more memories, but he didn't even know my name when he used my physical activities. Change, if Hongmeng Island finds out, I will be in trouble." Ye Yunzhou bit the corner of his mouth annoyed, "... How many days is it now? This time I will face the Nightmare Lord, and I should cheat myself and change my name."

Mu Linjiang couldn't help but his temples were throbbing: "You can only be my Ye Yunzhou, don't try to escape."

"...Hmph, I'm too lazy to correct you right now." Ye Yunzhou rested his chin with his index finger, "You know my past clearly, and I'm happy to watch a show if you know it."

Mu Linjiang was barely happy: "April [-]th, don't waste my time, since you have recovered your memory, go back to Lonely Night Palace now, I still have to complete the array."

Ye Yunzhou grabbed Mu Linjiang, feeling that something was wrong: "You've seen so many secrets of mine, so it's inappropriate for you to walk away like this?"

"What else do you want?" Mu Linjiang sighed, "I looked at your memory, and you also remembered the unknown past, everyone has gained something, it's fair, what's inappropriate?

Ye Yunzhou: "...Sir, is it still unknown?"

Mu Linjiang changed his words smoothly: "It's little known."

Ye Yunzhou rolled his eyes at him: "Don't think that your logic can refute me, unless you tell the whole story about your experience, I won't let you go."

"You really have to be so fussy?" Mu Linjiang was helpless.

"You know I don't like to suffer." Ye Yunzhou was in high spirits.

Mu Linjiang turned his face away and procrastinated: "If you have time, it's important."

Ye Yunzhou frowned in dissatisfaction. He didn't know what Mu Linjiang had to hide. He even had such a mediocre and terrible childhood. Mu Linjiang could live a worse life than him.

He pondered for a moment, then raised the corners of his lips little by little, revealing a smile that Mu Linjiang felt badly about.

"I left the sea of ​​souls back then, and you have been staying in the sea of ​​souls all this time, do you know what this means?" Ye Yunzhou asked with a smile on his back.

Mu Linjiang was taken aback for a moment, and soon remembered that Chang Xi had reminded him to restrain his emotions.

"This last trace of spiritual power is enough for me to see with my own eyes the truth of your silence." Ye Yunzhou deliberately reminded, and while Mu Linjiang was thinking, the shimmering fingertips behind him suddenly pointed out.

A burst of white light flashed, and the consciousness felt being torn apart. Ye Yunzhou was floating in the void, unable to find himself, and could only linger in countless memory pictures. Concentration only captured a few pictures.

He saw Mu Linjiang when he was a child. He was probably less than ten years old. He was obviously a young master who had no worries about food and clothing. His arrogance and dignity were revealed from the bottom of his eyes when he smiled. Those eyes were as dark as night, and they were extremely sharp at a young age.

Ye Yunzhou was a little jealous for a moment. He is the real father, loving son, filial piety, famous teacher and high apprentice. Is there really such a perfect person in the world?

But soon he put away this kind of thinking. He couldn't get coherent information, and he didn't know what happened, but he was also surprised by the flashing clip. A face appeared in Mu Linjiang's memory. The gray and haggard old man has only one cloudy eye, and he can vaguely see a little purple, as if he will run out of oil at any time.

Mu Linjiang always dressed up brightly and turned into tattered coarse clothes, trapped in a dark cave, staying with a group of men and women who looked like corpses.

Ye Yunzhou saw mutilated limbs falling on the ground like rubbish, every piece of torture equipment he had never heard of was stained with blood, saw someone crying and laughing like crazy, saw Mu Linjiang curled up in the corner of the wall covered in blood, secretly wiped his eyes dampness of the tail.

In the end what happened?Ye Yunzhou didn't understand how Mu Linjiang fell into such a situation. The next moment, the huge gravitational force from out of thin air pulled him straight into a horrifying scene.

He couldn't control his limbs, and was being pinned to the ground by someone's wrist. Ye Yunzhou didn't have time to have any thoughts, and a burst of intense emotions that made him want to roar exploded in his head.

This is completely empathetic, anger and unwillingness are like erupting magma, the sharp thorns of hatred are deeply rooted in the bone marrow, making him tremble all over, Ye Yunzhou struggled unconsciously, he saw a boy tied to a wooden stake in front of him, A group of people slowly approached with knives, and the young man regarded death as home.

He felt a feeling in his heart that didn't belong to him and he didn't understand at all, as if he was clamoring "stop" and "don't". They all became distorted and dizzy, and their sanity was far away from them.

...is this fear?

Ye Yunzhou was panting violently. He heard someone calling him, and then his consciousness was suddenly pulled away from this memory. At the end of the picture, he saw complex patterns lit up on the ground farther and farther away, and those lines merged and separated. , forming an ancient and obscure array, a treacherous and magnificent giant eye opened from the array, and Mu Linjiang knelt in the center of the array, his bloody eyes gradually stained with crystal purple.

……

At the same time, Silent Night Palace.

Acting Palace Master Jianqian was sitting opposite Fairy Yanqing, with a smile on her face and different thoughts.

"Master Ying has been in seclusion for a long time, and even I can't get in touch. I'm really sorry. I'm afraid I can only ask the master to wait a little longer." Jianqian slightly nodded and apologized, "When the master should leave the customs, I will make an appointment as soon as possible. Inform the Master."

"It seems that I came at the wrong time and made things difficult for Secretary Jian." Fairy Yan Qing picked up the teacup, took a sip, paused, and smiled, "However, it is a surprise to be able to taste Secretary Jian's craftsmanship." happiness."

"It's good that the pavilion master doesn't dislike it." Jianqian secretly wiped off her sweat. Ever since she received the news that Mu Linjiang was going out, she has sent Ying Xuanyang and Mu Linjiang [-] or [-] voice transmissions. One returned to her, the huge Lonely Night Palace, the high-level executives ran three times in a row, and the affairs were all thrown to her. I don't know whether this should be said to be too trusting or irresponsible.

"By the way, last time Chief Yin sent me and Master Qiao back to the Sword Pavilion of Qiushui. He came and went in a hurry. I don't know if he is in your palace now?" Fairy Yanqing asked as she put down her teacup.

Jian Qian bit the bullet and said: "Master Yin's whereabouts have always been uncertain, and I can't get in touch."

"That's how it is, it's a coincidence that they're not here." Fairy Yanqing pondered, "What about City Lord Lingya?"

Jian Qian was taken aback: "He also came to find the palace lord a few days ago, and has been waiting until now."

"So that's it." Fairy Yanqing closed her eyes, her long eyelashes trembled twice, she got up and said, "Then I won't bother Secretary Jian's business, since the Lord Lingya is here, I'll go find him Let him talk about the old days."

Jane got up to see her off, and then realized that Fairy Yan Qing said, "Since the Lord Lingya is here", it seemed that he didn't know that Huo Fengting was here before, so why did he suddenly ask the Lord Lingya?

She sent Fairy Yanqing away from Suxiao Palace inexplicably, when she returned, a familiar cold wind came from behind, Jianqian hurriedly turned her head, saw that it was Yin Si, and hurriedly called him to stop.

"You are here! At least tell me when you come back, Fairy Yanqing is looking for you, I don't know what's the matter." Jian Qian had a bitter face, she casually tied a ponytail on the back of her neck, she was so busy that she didn't have time Dressed up carefully, he blocked Yin Si with resentment, "Where is the palace master? Why doesn't he even reply to the sound transmission, I haven't had a vacation for a month."

"Why did Fairy Yan Qing seek me?" Yin Si was even more baffled than her.

Jianqian briefly talked about the meeting just now, Yin Silue thought for a moment, frowned slightly, and took out a jade slip and threw it to her: "Don't tell Fairy Yanqing that you have seen me, a copy of the content of this jade slip is kept Juanzong Pavilion, and hand it over to Wei Yi for me."

"...Hey, I'm already very busy, don't throw your work to me!" Jian Qian wanted to throw the jade slip back with a headache, but Yin Si left as soon as she said it, and she disappeared in a flash.

Yin Si rushed directly to Qinglei Mountain. Fairy Yanqing must have found some clues when she came here. Last time, he opened an umbrella perfunctorily, making it clear that the purpose of telling the other party was not pure. When asked about Huo Fengting, he must be suspicious of the actions behind the Chunhua Banquet. Huo Fengting may not tell Fairy Yanqing that the Longevity Fire is in his hands, but there is no guarantee that Fairy Yanqing is too shrewd to see the clues.

He could guess a thing or two, but he couldn't make a decision for Mu Linjiang, so he decided to look for it himself.

When he reached the top of Qinglei Mountain, Yin Si saw Mu Linjiang and Ye Yunzhou surrounded by Chang Xijian as soon as he blinked amidst the lightning and thunder. What kind of heaven and earth are these two people worshiping?

He approached calmly and saw a left book on the ground.

There is a Lingyu in the letter, and the usage is written on the paper, you can communicate with Mu Linjiang for a short time, don't use it unless necessary.

Is it necessary?Yin Si really thought about it for a while, comparing the possibility of Fairy Yanqing coming to Xingshi to inquire about her crimes and Ye Yunzhou who somehow worshiped before Chang Xi's seal, he couldn't make a decision for Mu Linjiang, and after thinking about it, he still crushed Lingyu.

In the consciousness space, Mu Linjiang shouted urgently to Ye Yunzhou who fell down suddenly. He was a little angry. If Ye Yunzhou insisted on knowing, he could tell him that he just passed out once on the top of Qinglei Mountain, and now he tossed himself down again. It is so determined to go its own way and not listen to people's words.

"Ye Yunzhou!" Mu Linjiang sat down while supporting his shoulders, and shouted several times, "Wake up!"

Ye Yunzhou took a deep breath, opened his red eyes, bounced up like a fish out of water, and fell back into Mu Linjiang's arms. He raised his hand to cover his violently vibrating heart, and could never find the "fear" again. emotions, but the aftermath of dizziness was still washing through his mind, giving him bouts of headache.

"I'm fine." Ye Yunzhou calmed down, looked at Mu Linjiang and smiled, and touched the tip of his eyes with his fingertips, "Black and purple are both beautiful, but I still like purple better, so you should too."

Mu Linjiang let go, and Ye Yunzhou lay down under the tree. He said lazily, "I only saw a little bit. Is that person who died in a knife attack a friend of yours? Is it Ming Tong that the old man taught you?"

"...You really do everything possible to dig me out." Mu Linjiang was helpless, and simply sat down beside him, "When I was young, my parents were in the cloth business and ran more than ten cloth shops. I found a few good masters to teach me how to practice. It’s funny to say that I was afraid of pain and tiredness, so I refused to practice boxing and kicking kung fu, so I only learned martial arts in the end.”

Ye Yunzhou laughed out loud, and patted Mu Linjiang's waist with his wrist: "I can't tell, Miss Mu."

Mu Linjiang pressed his hand back: "If you interrupt again, it will stop here. Anyway, you have read all the key points."

Ye Yunzhou pressed his index finger on his lips, indicating to shut up.

"Later, I was kidnapped and sold to that one-eyed lunatic by a business rival in my family." Mu Linjiang's expression darkened, "He has dark pupils, but not completely. When awake and sometimes crazy, only the obsession to let Ming Tong pass on."

Ye Yunzhou curled up his fingertips and scratched Mu Linjiang's palm, and then was grabbed by his backhand.

"The eyes of fear and the sound of panic are evil ways that destroy people's hearts and are irresistible. To practice this kind of exercise, you can only fall into the hell of panic. If you want to destroy people's hearts, you must first destroy yourself." Mu Linjiang said slowly. , to this day, he has been able to recall as calmly as possible, "I have been in his hands for three years, I have seen countless ways of death, and suffered countless tortures... The companion who agreed on where to go after escaping yesterday, has eaten today. After lunch, just listen to that old lunatic tell you proudly that there is still his meat in the pot, and everyone there will either be frightened crazy or die miserably."

"...I'm sorry." Ye Yunzhou was suddenly depressed, and he regretted forcing Mu Linjiang to ask, "If you don't want to say it, I promise not to ask you in the future."

"Hmph, you actually have a conscience." Mu Linjiang kicked him, "Now you have to listen if you don't listen."

"I'm listening carefully, and I'm willing to be your tree hole anytime." Ye Yunzhou sat up seriously and said.

"I also admit that I thought about dying. The person you saw was Liu Er. He said that his mother was a washerwoman with chilblains on her hand and was kicked out by her employer. He came out to work to support the family, but was deceived. Here, if he dies, who will take care of his mother, so no matter how hard he suffers and fears, he will not die." Mu Linjiang's eyes were full of sadness, "I have regained hope, and I have lobbied a few people, and we will take turns Digging a tunnel under the firewood pile in the kitchen, I promised Liu Er that after I got out, I would let him come to my cloth village, until one day we really dug through the mountain wall, weeping bitterly under the almost unfamiliar sunlight .”

Ye Yunzhou knew it was not that simple, so he put his hand on his shoulder and squeezed it.

Mu Linjiang closed his eyes and was silent for a while: "The old lunatic suddenly appeared when we were about to leave. He knew my plan all along, and when I thought I had a new life, he dragged me back to the nightmare...Those who are related to me The people who escaped together, the old lunatic told them to do it, as long as they scratched, as long as they were stained with his blood, they would be saved from death. I scolded and begged for everything, but I still watched him die tragically in front of me , the next one is me."

"Anger, despair, fear, it's only one step away from collapse, or it has already passed this step."

"Then Ming Tong chose me."

Mu Linjiang ended his speech briefly, covering his face in a dark and unconscious way.

Ye Yunzhou couldn't help sighing: "Fortunately, I like you, otherwise there will be no voluntary dark pupils, and there will be no lover who voluntarily looks at you, it would be too pitiful."

The bit of resentment that Mu Linjiang recalled from the past was messed up by Ye Yunzhou's words, and he glanced at Ye Yunzhou incomprehensibly: "Why do you say so badly every time you say good things."

"If I had experienced this, maybe it would have been worse than it is now." Ye Yunzhou snorted self-consciously, leaned over to look up at Mu Linjiang, and then lightly touched his lips.

Mu Linjiang raised his eyebrows, turned over and held Ye Yunzhou down, and kissed him with a predatory kiss.

Ye Yunzhou reached behind Mu Linjiang's back, tugged at his hair, finally took a breath, and rubbed his thumb against the corner of his mouth: "Mr. Mu is really immoral and morally corrupt for doing such an explicit thing in Chang Xi's space. .”

"Go back to Lone Night Palace and continue to be corrupt?" Mu Linjiang stood up slowly.

"Leaving Qinglei Mountain, I will have to save money and use Chang Xi's power again." Ye Yunzhou looked at his right hand, "I really don't want to leave."

Mu Linjiang bent down and pulled him up, suddenly remembered the burned prophecy record, frowned and asked, "I forgot that the prophecy record is here with you, what did you ask? What's the answer?"

Ye Yunzhou's eyes moved: "I will fight side by side with you in Qinglei Mountain. This is the obvious answer. I didn't expect the Prophecy Record to be destroyed."

"It's really that simple?" Mu Linjiang was dubious.

"Don't worry, the so-called three caves of the cunning rabbit, I also have a few treasure locations, now that I think about it, I will pay you two magic weapons when I finish this work." Ye Yunzhou waved his hand generously.

Mu Linjiang always felt that Ye Yunzhou was too understated, and he still wanted to ask more questions, but suddenly a slightly vague greeting came from his ear.

"Palace Master, Fairy Yan Qing seems to have come here for the eternal fire, I don't know what your plan is."

Mu Linjiang glanced at Ye Yunzhou, temporarily suppressing his doubts: "I'm catching up with the door, let's go, Mr. Ye."
