The Secret of the Reborn Shadowguard

Surrounded by a dark and cold world, one person slowly woke up from the stone bed, and shivered just as he sat up.

"After all, what kind of dream did you have?" The man sighed softly, his voice spread out in all directions, and then turned back, swaying back and forth again and again.

The ice-cold stone wall had no warmth, and even the voice seemed bleak and terrifying, but it was the only response to him.

"Yan, will you come?" The man said leisurely, then lay on the stone bed, closed his eyes, and fell into a deep sleep again.

At this time, Gu Yan was wrapped in a warm breath, soft and comfortable, it seemed to bring him back to the time when he was a baby again, making him want to fall asleep and fall into eternal sleep.

On the road paved with manjushahua, there was only a light shining in front of him, piercing his eyes, trying to make him escape, but he couldn't help but get closer.

Gu Yan stretched out his hand to lightly touch those sporadic spots of light, and a halo dissipated, only to find that he was already in the room full of white flames before.

The warm touch under his hand was very similar to the temperature in the palm of the shadow eater. Gu Yan lowered his head, but found that it was just a cluster of white flames wrapped in a crystal cover.

As Gu Yan woke up, the white flame suddenly shot out dazzling sparks, and after shaking a few times, it slowly began to move at a regular speed, one after another, and it was no longer as quiet as before.

"But I didn't expect that you would come back alive." Seeing Gu Yan wake up, Xiao Li suddenly sat up on the futon, saw the white flame that had started to dance in the crystal cover, first heaved a sigh of relief, then A trace of kindness flashed in his eyes.

When he looked at Gu Yan again, his eyes were mixed with pity, happiness, and admiration... It was so complicated that people couldn't see clearly.

"It's reasonable, but unexpected." Xiao Zheyan, who was on the side, also said lightly from the futon.But he also breathed a sigh of relief, and the appreciation for Gu Yan in his heart was a little bit more.

"Over there, what exactly is that place?" Gu Yan didn't notice what Xiao Li and Xiao Zheyan said, but gently stroked the crystal under his palm, staring at the cluster of flames with empty eyes, his voice choked up, He muttered: "It's not an illusion, it's not a dream, it must not be, it must not be, right..."

He still clearly remembers A Ying's warm palms, his sporadic white hair, his voice, his every move, everything about him...

However, at this time, everything has disappeared, it is so real, so real that he can't accept that it is just an illusion.

Seeing Gu Yan's distraught look, and hearing the words in his mouth, Xiao Li nodded, "You guessed right, it's not an illusion, let alone a dream, it's a world, the real world."

Gu Yan turned his head suddenly, and looked closely at Xiao Li, the brilliance in his eyes almost obliterated him.

Xiao Li's heart froze when he saw him, and the words he wanted to say were choked in his mouth, unable to speak or swallow.

It wasn't until after a long time that she found her own voice, "That's Xiaoying's soul world." After finishing speaking, Xiao Li let out a breath of comfort, and looked at Gu Yan fiercely, brat, you will suffer from it in the future.

"A Ying's?" Gu Yan didn't notice Xiao Li's eyes, his eyes lit up first, then lowered his eyes again, and whispered softly: "Sure enough." He knew it a long time ago, he knew it a long time ago.

Xiao Li snorted coldly, expressed dissatisfaction with Gu Yan's neglect of her, but explained without hesitation: "Perhaps you have always been curious about what these white flames are, right?"

Seeing that Gu Yan turned his head to look at him again, his eyes sparkled with desire for knowledge, Xiao Li proudly puffed up his chest, and said, "It's the soul fire, this is the soul fire of all our Mengyin people." Pointing to the one in front of Gu Yan, "And the one in front of you is Xiaoying's."

Gu Yan looked down at the cluster of flames under his palm, his eyes instantly filled with tenderness.He also praised secretly in his heart, it really deserves to belong to his family, A Ying, so delicate and cute, one can't help but want to hold it in the palm of his hand and take care of it silently.

Gu Yan briefly glanced at the white flames around him, then quickly withdrew his gaze, the look of contempt was obvious to everyone.Well, what are those pale, pale things?How can I stay with Ah Ying's?

But then again, what is Soul Fire?Thinking of this, Gu Yan looked at Xiao Li again.

Xiao Li obviously didn't notice Gu Yan's contempt, and seeing Gu Yan looking at him, he continued to speak: "Our Mengyin tribe will bring out a ray of soul fire from birth, and this soul fire can't affect us in any way. Injury, others have nothing to do with it.”

"It is the place to judge whether our people are alive or dead. That's why I have been able to know that Xiaoying is still alive in this world in the past 20 years."

"Of course, the function of the soul fire is not so simple. It is the fire of our heart, the fire of the soul, and all the misery and calamity can be revealed from this soul fire."

Speaking of this, a dark color appeared in Xiao Li's eyes, and he said: "Xiaoying's soul fire has been dark and bright since 20 years ago. After arriving in the family, his soul fire has been very quiet, without any signs of beating."

Xiao Li walked slowly in front of Gu Yan, touched the crystal cover in the center lovingly with the palm of his hand, and said with emotion: "The knot in the heart is not gone, the fire in the soul is extinguished, and the fire in the soul is extinguished when the obsession is together. The knot in the heart this time, But it has become Xiaoying's obsession, and if the obsession is not eliminated, it will eventually hurt him."

After all, he looked at Gu Yan again, and said apologetically, "So I let you go through this level. On the one hand, I want to see that Mengyin in my family does have the setting for this level, but more importantly, I hope that you can pass this level." Use your breakthrough to help Xiaoying resolve her obsession, and let this soul fire return to its original state. Since his soul fire has been abnormal since then, it is naturally related to you."

Gu Yan's breathing was stagnant when he heard this, and then he looked down at the soul fire that seemed to be jumping normally, a trace of worry flashed in his eyes, and asked: "Now, has Ah Ying's knot in his heart been removed?"

Only then did a smile appear on Xiao Li's face, he nodded and said: "Yes, although I don't know what Xiaoying's heart knot is, but now this soul fire has returned to its normal state."

"Heart knot, obsession..." Looking at the soul fire of Devouring Shadow firmly, Gu Yan murmured softly, and it was only after a while that he suddenly became enlightened, and said with a wry smile: "So that is your heart knot?"

Xiao Zheyan had been quietly listening to the conversation between Gu Yan and Xiao Li, and noticed Gu Yan's clear expression, so he opened his mouth in doubt and asked, "You already know Ying'er's What is the heart knot?"

Gu Yan nodded, but did not take his eyes off Yingying's soul fire, sighed, and said, "It's my fault."

Without waiting for Xiao Li and Xiao Zheyan to ask questions, Gu Yan went on to say: "In that world, Ah Ying never called me Yan, never called me Husband, but only called me Master, maybe because of him heart knot."

"What's the connection between the two?" Xiao Li couldn't help asking, it's just a title, what's the difference between calling the master and calling her husband.

No, that's not the point, Xiao Li roared in his heart, how could his son be called someone else's husband.Thinking of this, Xiao Li glared at Gu Yan again.

Gu Yan missed Xiao Li's gaze again, and smiled wryly, "I always thought that I understood A Ying, but I didn't want to never really see him through."

"I never really understood his thoughts, his past, and his intentions. I just blindly imposed what I thought was good for him on A Ying, but I never tried to feel what he wanted. What the hell is it?"

The crystal under his palm was icy cold, but the soul fire in the crystal was scorching hot. The double touch of ice and fire hit his heart directly, making Gu Yan feel extremely painful in his heart. He said in half, "Actually, from the very beginning, Ah Ying didn't really regard me as someone walking side by side with him, in his heart, he was always one step behind me unconsciously."

"In fact, the so-called heart knot is just a habit, a habit of being a shadow guard. I am used to silently guarding behind me, and I am used to hiding myself in the cold darkness."

"And the so-called eternal union, the so-called promise to grow old together, is just because his love for me is enough for him to hide these habits in his heart, and then try to accept and change."

"Originally, this knot of heart would be silent forever, but because of me, this knot of heart was aroused, and it became a calamity in his heart, his obsession." Having said this, Gu Yan's eyes were a little dry.

He still remembers the sound of Lord on the Lianqing Cliff, it was a flame that melted the snow sea that buried the shadow-eating heart knot, and he sprinkled a handful of salt on the white snow that was about to melt .

"Could it be that the fact that you let him die in the end is the key to unraveling his knot?" Xiao Li couldn't help asking.

He clearly remembered the word that came out of his son at the last moment, and it was clearly the name of the brat in front of him.

Gu Yan nodded, "That was the first time in A Ying's world that I truly recognized his identity, and the first time I considered his intentions, which belonged to him as a shadow guard, and were also his own."

As a shadow guard, it is a mission to die for the Lord, but as a lover, I don't want to live alone.

"Actually, the knot in his heart hasn't completely dissipated." Gu Yan smiled wryly, and then sighed softly, "He still has the habit of being a shadow guard, even in this lifetime, it is impossible to change it. "

After hearing Gu Yan finished speaking, Xiao Li couldn't help but sighed in her heart, and opened her mouth, not knowing what to say.

Xiao Zheyan looked at Gu Yan and asked, "If you really go ahead of him in the future, will you let him die for the Lord?"

"There won't be such a day." Gu Yan looked at the exquisite white soul fire tenderly, and said slowly: "In this life, I will work hard to live, and I will live a moment longer than the shadow eater but only live longer. live that moment."
