In the dim candlelight, Qi Yiren sat in the light, showing the rune battle on his back in front of Gu Qingrang.

Qi Yiren is a warrior, his skin is not as fair as Gu Qingrang's, but he looks much stronger.

The familiar runes are printed on Qi Yiren's back, looking at it under the light, it seems a bit weird.This time, Lu Qingrang carefully observed the runes on it, and confirmed that it was on the No. 12 celestial talisman.

The lights exploded, disturbing the sleeping moths in the silent night.

Lu Qingrang stepped forward, wanting to reach out to touch the rune on Qi Yiren's back, but hesitated the moment he raised his hand, and finally withdrew his hand, and asked: "When I usually come to you, is there anything you can do?" No special reaction?"

"After a while, it will become hot." Qi Yiren answered truthfully.

"Fever? How often?" Gu Qingrang asked.

"The time is not fixed, sometimes once a few months, sometimes once a few years. Apart from getting hot, there is no special feeling."

Lu Qingrang listened, nodded, then pondered for a moment, and asked: "Then, has your cultivation speed changed over the years, has it become much easier to cultivate?"

Originally, Qi Yiren didn't notice this, but after hearing what Gu Qingrang said, he realized that it was true.Since he had this thing in his body, he has hardly encountered a bottleneck in his cultivation. For so many years, it has been almost smooth sailing.

"It seems to be the case." Qi Yiren replied, then turned to look at Gu Qingrang, "Is it because of the Tianfu?"

"It's not necessarily true, maybe it's because you've been fighting in the north and south for these years, and with more experience, it's normal for your cultivation to grow." Lu Qingrang didn't want Qi Yiren to feel that his improvement in cultivation was due to external forces.

Qi Yiyan noticed the gentleness in Gu Qingrang's words, smiled, and said to Gu Qingrang: "I always think that this thing is a kind of connection between you and me."

After hearing the words, Gu Qingrang fell silent.In a way, it is.

"Can you take him back?" Qi Yiren asked again.

Lu Qingrang shook his head, then stretched out his hand to put on the clothes that Qi Yiren had taken off for him, "You can put it on, don't catch a cold."

Qi Yiren nodded obediently, and lightly touched the spot that Gu Qingrang touched just now with his fingertips.

"Fortunately, it won't hurt you to stay with you." Gu Qingrang said, and then sat down beside Dao, "Let's leave it at that for now. I have too many things to deal with now, and I don't have time."

"I'd be very happy for you to keep this with me." Qi Yiyan said.In this way, he and Gu Qingrang still have such a relationship that cannot be compared with others.

"Sooner or later, I will get it back." Lu Qingrang said in a deep voice.

He wanted to stop Qi Yiren's thoughts, but he didn't want to hurt him.

Lu Qing made himself understand that this kind of thing should be cut off in one move, but the current situation of the two of them, coupled with his character, does not allow him to draw a clear line with Qi Yiren.

At this time, the night was getting dark.

Lu Qingrang said: "It's better to go to bed early, and tomorrow we will investigate the formation here."

Qi Yiren hummed lightly, and then went back to his room.

The next day, it was indeed a sunny day, even a little hot.

Gu Xuhuai didn't seem to sleep very well last night, and kept yawning in the morning.It's just that he seems to be a character who never has any troubles, and he can have fun alone.

The desolation of the Divine Breath Corridor didn't seem to be sad to him, all he saw were flowers, grass, moths and birds, as if he was just a playful child.

Lu Qingrang came a bit late, when he got up, he saw Gu Xuhuai swinging at the door, the swing was obviously just made.

"Brother, what do you think of my swing?" Gu Xuhuai was standing on the swing, rippling, the girl's skirt fluttering in the wind, like a butterfly.

"You did it yourself?" Gu Qingrang asked.He always felt that it was impossible for Gu Huaihua to make a good swing quickly with his current body shape.

Gu Xuhuai chuckled, and then said with a bit of pride: "I competed with Qi Yiren in the checkered square, and he lost to me. I asked him to make me a swing."

Hearing this, Gu Qingrang laughed, thinking that it was exactly as he expected.Then he stepped forward and saw the grid drawn by Gu Xuhuai and the others on the ground.

Inexplicably, he became playful and hopped on one foot twice.

Seeing this, Gu Xuhuai asked: "Brother, do you want to play with me, I'm really good at grid-jumping."

Gu Pleaserang listened, smiled slightly, shook his head and refused, and then asked, "Where's Qi Yiren?"

Gu Xuhuai pouted, showing a bit of a girly look, and said, "I said you like to eat fish, and some people went to catch fish."

"Catch fish?" Gu Qing was taken aback for a moment, then said, "Where is the river in the corridor of divine breath?"

Around the Divine Breath Corridor, there are quite a few creeks, big and small, but they are all shallow water. There are some shrimps and crabs, but there are no big fish.Generally, big fish live in relatively deep rivers or ponds.

However, there is no river around the corridor of divine breath, but there is a pond.

"He won't go to the soul pool!" Gu Xuhuai looked at Gu Qingrang in surprise.

And Gu Qingrang also frowned worriedly, and then said: "Go and have a look." As he spoke, he went directly to the soul washing pool in the Divine Breath Corridor.

Because the Shenxi clan wants to keep their virginity, intermarriage is prohibited. In a sense, it is asking the clansmen to cut off love.It's just that people are not grass and trees, so how can they be ruthless, whether they are within the same clan or get along with foreigners, they will develop somewhat different feelings over time.

And once the Shenxi family finds that there are distracting thoughts in their hearts, they will go to this soul washing pool. After soaking for a while, that feeling will fade away, and that person will also become in my memory, just like everyone else. No passers-by.

That's why for so many years, relying on that pool of water for washing souls, the Shenxi clan has been able to adhere to the seemingly inhuman rules.

Gu Qingrang realized that Qi Yiren might have gone to the Soul Cleansing Pond, his first reaction was to be anxious, and hurried over, but stopped halfway.

If Qi Yiren enters the soul washing pool by mistake and washes away his thoughts, it may be a good thing for him and Gu Qingrang.

Thinking of this, Gu Qingrang slowed down a lot, and even hoped that Qi Yiren would enter the soul washing pool in his heart.

Gu Xuhuai also chased after him at this time, seeing that Gu Qingrang slowed down, he was a little puzzled, and asked: "Brother, why are you not in a hurry at all, what should I do if Qi Yiren entered the soul washing pool?"

After hearing his voice, Gu Qingrang stopped immediately, then turned to look at Gu Xuhuai, and said: "The soul washing pool will only wash away his emotions, and will not harm his body."

After hearing this, Gu Xuhuai also slowed down, walked in front of him, and looked at Gu Qingrang.

Lu Qingrang continued: "I can't accept what he thinks about me, whether it's true or not. So I think it's a good thing for him to take a dip in the soul washing pool."

After listening to his words, Gu Xuhuai was silent for a moment, as if he was thinking about something, after a long time, he asked: "What is Qi Yiren's position in your heart?"

"It's just a child." Gu Qingrang said, then turned to look in the direction of the soul washing pool in the distance.

"Child?" Gu Xuhuai savored the deep meaning of this evaluation carefully, and then asked: "A child like Ji Chang?"

When Xibo Hou Jichang was young, he used to sit beside him and ask him about divination.Even though later, he became the respected Marquis of Xibo, and later known as King Wen of Zhou, who was above ten thousand people, in Gu Qingrang's eyes, he was always a child.

However, after thinking about it carefully, Gu Qingrang felt that Qi Yiren and Ji Chang were different.

Lu Qingrang shook his head and said, "Ji Chang is like my child in my eyes, while Qi Yiren is a junior. How can they be the same."

After hearing this, Gu Xuhuai sighed, "But in your eyes, Qi Yiren is different from other juniors, right?"

After hearing this, Lu Qingrang felt as if his heart had been knocked, and felt somewhat flustered for no reason.

"Actually, brother, you know very well that Qi Yiren is different from other people, but you don't understand what position you put him in." Gu Xuhuai said.

"You have always valued the lives of your clansmen, but you led your followers into dangerous situations for him back then. I don't think he is worth exchanging four or five lives of the Shenxi clan. But you thought it was worth it at the beginning." Gu Xuhuai felt, At that time 500 years ago, Gu Qingrang put Qi Yiren in a place in his heart that no one else had ever been to.

Lu Qing was speechless, and then explained somewhat far-fetchedly: "That's because he is a descendant of the God of War, and there are only a few bloodlines left in the world."

"But you never cared about these things. You used to care more about the Shenxi clan than the so-called gods or humans."

After hearing these words, Gu Qing's heart sank, and his face became very embarrassed.

Gu Xuhuai looked at Gu Qingrang, and after a long time, he walked over, held Gu Qingrang's cold hands with his hands that had shrunk a lot, and said, "Brother, everything has changed now, the Shenxi clan No more, you can let go of the things that bound you before. Maybe you can try to live according to your heart."

Lu Qingrang looked at Gu Xuhuai, there was a pair of clear eyes on that immature face, and those firm eyes finally showed the maturity that his inner soul should have.

After thousands of years of staying together, Gu Xuhuai saw Gu Qingrang's forbearance for thousands of years.In fact, more than anyone else, he hopes that Gu Qingrang can let go of everything, and then find his own life.

Now that the divine breath no longer exists, Gu Xuhuai feels that this is an opportunity for Gu Qingrang to let go of everything.

But when Lu Qingrang heard this, he didn't feel that way. He pulled out the hand held by Gu Xuhuai, and said in a deep voice: "I asked them to cut off love, but I got distracted. They can't forgive such a thing. , I can’t do it myself.” After Gu Qingrang finished speaking, he walked straight to the soul washing pool again.

Seeing this, Gu Xuhuai hurriedly followed, he was a little anxious, and said: "Is it wrong to like someone?"

Of course there is nothing wrong with it, but for Gu Qingrang, it is a heinous crime.

He lived for thousands of years in vain, witnessing all kinds of ups and downs, King Wu's defeat of Zhou, King Qin's unification, and that Wujiang Xiang Yu... He knew human nature's greed, anger, ignorance, love and hatred, but he himself didn't know what love is.

So 500 years ago, I don't know why, when I was young, I didn't know what to do, and I did a lot of stupid things when I was ignorant.

Now it suddenly dawns on me, but I have mixed feelings in my heart.

Gu Xuhuai noticed the fluctuation in Gu Qingrang's heart, so he quickened his pace, trying to catch up with him.However, he is just a little girl now, not only his spiritual power is limited, but the length of his legs is also limited.He couldn't catch up with Gu Qingrang, so he could only call him from behind.

But Gu Qingrang acted as if he didn't hear him, leaving him alone and walking towards the soul washing pool.

After arriving near the soul washing pool, Gu Qingrang saw Qi Yiren from a distance, but it seemed that he did not enter the middle of his pool.

Qi Yiren turned his head to look at the direction he came from, then grinned, with a bit of youthful cheerfulness, looking so sunny, he said to Gu Qingrang: "Why are you here?"

Listening to his voice, Lu Qingrang's heart trembled even more when he thought about the things he just wanted to understand.He covered everything in his heart with calmness, and asked in a flat tone: "Did you go into the water?"

When Qi Yiren heard his question, he laughed and said with a bit of a foolishness: "I think this pool of water is a bit weird, and it doesn't look like there are fish in it, so I didn't go down."

Gu Qingrang lowered his eyes.In his heart, he hoped that Qi Yiren would go down.

Seeing his reaction, Qi Yiren thought that the other party was disappointed that there were no fish to eat, so he hurriedly said: "I'll go around later to see if there are other rivers, and I will definitely bring you some fish back."

Hearing this, Gu Qing felt even more uncomfortable.Such a deep love should not belong to him, nor can it belong to him.

"Qi Yiren, do you like me?" Gu Qingrang asked suddenly.

Qi Yiren's hand scratching his head froze, he stared at Gu Qingrang for a moment, then stood up straight, and replied earnestly and seriously: "I like it."

After hearing this, Lu Qingrang felt an indescribable sourness in his heart, and then asked again: "I won't like it soon."

He spoke in a low voice, Qi Yiren didn't hear clearly, and asked him in a daze, "What did you say?"

Gu Qingrang just shook his head, then walked towards Qi Yiren, then stretched out his hand to grab Qi Yiren's forehead and wrist, and pulled him towards the soul washing pool.

Seeing Gu Qingrang being so active, Qi Yiren immediately noticed the abnormality in the other party, so he followed him forward and asked, "What's wrong with you? You seem to have something on your mind? Tell me."

Gu Qingrang didn't answer him, and after walking to the soul washing pool, he let go of Qi Yiren's hand, and jumped into the soul washing pool by himself without warning.

The pool water splashed, but Gu Qingrang sank without any struggle.

Qi Yiren was shocked when he saw this, and then he didn't think about the weirdness of the pool, so he jumped down to save Gu Qingrang.

Through layers of water waves, Gu Qingrang saw Qi Yiren approaching him little by little.

Qi Yiren also entered the soul washing pool.

Lu Qingrang's goal was achieved, but he couldn't feel happy in his heart, and an indescribable sense of oppression spread throughout his heart.He saw Qi Yiren stretching out his hand towards him, opening his mouth to spit bubbles, as if calling his name.

But no sound can be heard in the soul washing pool.
