Xianjun has a disaster

Ji Xueting's fingers had just touched Yan Ke, but the latter suddenly turned his hand over and pulled Ji Xueting's forearm tightly.He is obviously just a slender mortal, but at this moment his fingers are like iron hoops, an ordinary person would definitely not be able to break free.

"Master Yan? What's wrong with you?"

Ji Xueting naturally also noticed Yan Ke's abnormality, he was still smiling, but the Ling Cang sword in his hand was already out of its sheath.

Only then did Yan Ke slowly raise his head to look at Ji Xueting. His eyes were originally as black as ink, but now because his pupils had dilated to a huge size, his black eyes seemed to occupy the entire eye sockets, and he looked impenetrable.

"you……"

He looked at Ji Xueting and muttered to himself, the water in his eyes was rippling like tears, but at the same time because his eyes were red, the water in his eyes looked like tears of blood.

His fingers were as cold as death.

He held Ji Xueting firmly with one hand, as if he was afraid that Ji Xueting would just disappear from his face, and raised his other hand carefully, slowly reaching towards Ji Xueting, as if he wanted to touch Ji Xueting's cheek.

"Am I dreaming again?"

He looked at Ji Xueting and asked.

"No, you're awake."

Ji Xueting replied immediately.

Hearing this sentence, Yan Ke trembled violently all at once.

"No, no, I shouldn't... be here..."

As if being scalded by fire, Yan Ke suddenly let go of her hands, and then backed away...

Then, he just fainted.

Ji Xueting stood where he was, looked at him lying down, and raised his tender eyebrows.

"Um, that, Mr. Yan?"

Ji Xueting observed carefully, and found that this person really passed out and had no other problems, so he slowly leaned over and lightly kicked the opponent's calf with his toe.

"Are you OK?"

he asked with a little headache.

Naturally, Yan Ke would not respond to him.At this moment, the son of a mortal family was closing his eyes tightly, lying motionless on the ground like a dead body, only the weak breathing in his chest and the cold sweat that continued to break out even though he was unconscious, proving that he was indeed still alive.

"Hmm, it doesn't seem like a ghost ghost is on the upper body?"

Ji Xueting waited for a while, then frowned, squeezed a fairy formula and put it on Yan Ke with a look of trouble, and said to himself.

And until this time, the Ling Cang sword in his hand was taken back.

Actually speaking, Yan Ke was very lucky, if he fainted a moment later, the Lingcang sword might have pierced him right through.

Of course, Ji Xueting has no objection to Yan Ke, but he has been walking in the world for so many years, and the code of conduct he has honed is-when encountering strange people and things, if you are not sure of winning, run away quickly, or hold your sword first Stab the opponent half to death, and then investigate carefully.

But today Ji Xueting checked and checked again and again, but he still didn't find out why Yan Ke suddenly became so abnormal, and why he suddenly fainted.

"Ji Xianjun? Master Yan, what's going on?"

Lu Ren's exclamation came from next to his ear, Ji Xueting sighed helplessly, and turned to look at his fellow immortals.

Lu Ren looked at the dying young man on the ground, and then at Ji Xueting, his eyes were full of shock.

"I didn't do anything, he passed out by himself."

With a wry smile, Ji Xueting spread out his hands to Lu Ren, and by the way, greeted the little girl who was following behind Lu Ren.

"Little girl, I think you should be dressed as a local resident? You see, my companion fainted due to poor health, and needs to find a place to recuperate. If it is convenient, can you let us stay overnight?"

His voice was very gentle, and his smile was a little helpless and very candid—it was the kind that could touch people the most.

Sure enough, the mortal girl who had been trembling with shock before, blushed immediately after seeing Ji Xueting's gaze last time, and nodded in a daze.

"I, my house is just in front. If benefactor doesn't dislike it, he can live as long as he wants!"

she said eagerly.

……

The little human girl Ji Xueting and Lu Ren rescued was named Liu Ahua, and she was indeed a farmer living in this ravine, and it was indeed as she said, her home was nearby.Lu Ren took A'hua, Ji Xueting took Yanke, and after walking for half a mile, they arrived at her house.

It was a thatched cottage with crooked wooden walls and scattered thatched grass. Thanks to Liu Ahua leading the way, otherwise, even with the eyesight of a fairy, it would be difficult to find that this is actually a place where people live when passing by.There are a few fields beside the thatched hut, but now they are overgrown with weeds. If you don't look carefully, it is no different from that wild land.

"Grandpa, Ah Hua is back! I brought guests!"

Ah Hua pushed open the door, only to see broken tables and chairs crookedly placed in the room, and a crooked old man curled up against the corner.

Seeing that Ah Hua brought someone, the old man didn't come forward to greet him, but let out a whimper, turned his head suddenly and wanted to crawl into the corner.

"The monster—the monster—the monster will eat people! The monster will eat us all! Ah Hua! Run away! Run away!"

cried the old man in panic.

"Grandpa, don't be afraid, this is not a monster, but the benefactor who saved me from the mouth of the monster today!"

Seeing such a scene, Ah Hua quickly stepped forward, dragged the old man out of the corner, comforted him to continue to sit in the old position, and then turned around with slightly red eyes, and explained with Ji Xueting and his party: "I'm really sorry Wait, my grandfather has suffered from dementia, his mind is not clear, he doesn't recognize people and doesn't understand things... Don't blame your benefactor."

The little girl found out that she could help her benefactor before, but she was full of joy. Now she slowly wakes up, looking at her crazy grandfather, the house is full of dilapidated, and then looking back at the gentle and handsome young man behind him who is like the bright moon in the sky, she suddenly becomes Feeling cramped, he was in a hurry, he wanted to boil water, he dug out a bag of coarse grains for cooking, and he just wanted to entertain Ji Xueting and his party well.

"It's okay, don't greet us, we will greet ourselves."

Ji Xueting saw the little girl's clumsiness and anxiety at a glance, and said hastily.

He first sent Lu Ren to tidy up a place to accommodate the comatose young master, then rolled up his sleeves with a smile on his face, and boiled the water quickly and well.Then I asked Ah Hua to borrow a charcoal stove to burn it in the house, and then took out a handful of pine nuts and peanuts from her bosom, and asked Ah Hua to help bury those things in the charcoal ashes and bake them slowly.

The charcoal fire was crackling, and the pine nuts and peanuts were roasted warm.Ji Xueting cut two pine branches with a sword, and from time to time stretched into the charcoal to pull out the peanuts, put them in the palm of his hand and squeezed them open, and then slowly ate with A Hua's coarse tea from A Hua's house.

When Lu Ren settled down and Yan Ke came back, he saw this scene.

Strange to say, the hut is still so dilapidated, and the outside of the hut is still so barren, but with the faint light of the charcoal fire in the room and the steam in the teacup, the whole hut looks extraordinarily comfortable and warm, with a sense of freedom. meaning.

In such an atmosphere, even without saying a word of comfort, Ah Hua, who had experienced a night of shock, naturally settled down, and even her crazy grandpa seemed to stretch a little bit.

It wasn't until this time that Ji Xueting asked Liu Ahua what they had always wanted to know—

"What happened to Qingzhou?"

……

Qingzhou has not been a rich place since ancient times. After all, there is Mount Ying here, and it is close to the pole of the earth, so the aura is thin, the land is barren, and the people can barely make ends meet.

Originally, the people of Qingzhou were suffering enough, but they did not expect that life would be even more bitter. Since the riot of the spiritual veins of heaven and earth, this Qingzhou has gradually been affected, and the spiritual energy is close to nothing. Hair multiplies and prospers.

In this way, all the people of Qingzhou who could escape escaped, and those who could not escape could only wait for death in place.

"According to what you said, this Qingzhou has been dead since decades ago?"

Hearing this, Lu Ren couldn't help but speak.

"No, no, no, Qingzhou has not become a place of death, no! With City Lord Han here, Qingzhou will be there!"

Liu Ahua raised her voice all of a sudden, and quickly explained.

"Where City Lord Han is, Qingzhou is here?"

Hearing the endless words, Ji Xueting couldn't help asking.

"What does it mean?"

"Originally, Qingzhou really couldn't hold on any longer. However, more than 20 years ago, the lord of the Han city... was the injustice sword Han Ying, Mr. Han. He came to us when he heard the people of Qingzhou crying!" Speaking of "Han Ying With this name, Ah Hua's eyes lit up, "You know, he used to be super famous, super powerful!"

In A Hua's mouth, Han Ying, the Unyielding Sword, is a swordsman who saved the entire Qingzhou, and even a peerless hero.

He was originally a top-notch swordsman who was famous all over the world. He traveled all over the world with his sword, and met a lame beggar on his way one day.The beggar was originally a citizen of Qingzhou, who became a beggar because of the disaster of the demons in Qingzhou. When he saw Han Ying and heard that his sword was said to "sweep all the injustices in the world", he used his only ration, half a sesame seed cake, as a gift. For commission, Han Ying was hired to go to Qingzhou to hunt and kill the fierce and strange demon "Boque".

And Han Ying went to Qingzhou to kill Bo Que with the half sesame seed cake as a reward.

Not only did he kill the sparrow, but he also saw the plight of the people here, and sighed: Killing one monster can save a hundred people.Killing a hundred demons can save a thousand people... You can kill a hundred demons and thousands of demons, but it is better to build a city.

Because building a city can save tens of millions of people.

After finishing speaking, Han Ying killed the Mushou of Qingzhou who had been doing nothing but a vegetarian meal with his sword, and wrote a letter to the emperor at that time, using the name of a famous swordsman as a guarantee, and using his unyielding sword's sword intent as the foundation of the city. , A city was built in Yingshan, Qingzhou, to accommodate all the displaced people in Qingzhou.

Because that Yingshan City has Han Ying's mighty sword intent as its foundation, monsters are not allowed to approach, and the people of Qingzhou finally have a place to live and live.

"Then why don't you and your grandfather go to the city? Instead, you have to stay in the wilderness, isn't it very dangerous? Just like today..."

Lu Ren asked again.

Ah Hua sniffled, and explained softly that she, her parents and Grandpa were actually living in Yingcheng to barely survive.However, a few days ago, another very terrifying monster suddenly came to this Qingzhou territory.

Wherever the monster went, there was no bloody blood, but it was able to swallow up the people of an entire village in an instant without leaving a trace. He secretly named it "Rampant God" and called it a god, just begging it to be merciful and not to harass mortals.

Han Ying naturally attaches great importance to the appearance of the rampant god who has been extinct for thousands of years, and issued a ban on people not to leave the city gate.

But her parents disregarded the city lord's ban, in order to get more money, they sneaked out of the city to hunt, and then...then disappeared without a trace.

Stimulated by such a tragedy, her demented grandpa also changed his temperament drastically. He only yelled and made noise in the city all day long, saying that there are monsters in the city who can eat people, telling others to run away.

As a result, A'hua had no face to stay in Yingcheng any longer, so she took Grandpa out of the city in desperation, and found a place to settle down temporarily.

"This place is actually very close to Yingcheng. Originally, I thought that with the intention of the Lord Han's sword, there should not be too powerful monsters. Who knows..." Remembering that I was almost eaten by the female corpse spider before, I mentioned it again. And the past when both parents died not long ago, Ah Hua's face became a little pale again.

Ji Xueting kept looking at A'hua, seeing her haggard and tired face, he interrupted the conversation quickly, and coaxed her to sleep with the excuse that it was getting dark.

And he himself was holding the sword, and walked slowly outside the dilapidated hut.

Not long after, Lu Ren also came out and came to his side.

"Ji Xianguan, do you think there is something wrong?"

Lu Ren asked.

Ji Xueting sighed, and replied: "Of course it's not right anywhere. The demons in Qingzhou are not right, and the female corpse spider we met today is not right. I have killed so many female corpse spiders, but never I know which tattered spider is so weak, and it will be surrounded by black wind when it walks... This is not the habit of the mother corpse spider. And the rampant god, that is also..." Speaking of this, he tapped With the scabbard in his arms, he said again, "...Of course, according to the routine in the storybook, the most wrong person should be the Lord Han who claims to have saved the people of Qingzhou."

"Could it be?"

Lu Ren suddenly looked serious.

However, Ji Xueting suddenly chuckled at this time, and the solemn air around him disappeared: "But if the other party is really the injustice sword Han Ying I know, it should be fine."

Lu Ren was obviously still full of doubts, but Ji Xueting also had many things he didn't want to understand, so he didn't say much.

After dismissing the other party, Ji Xueting found a crooked neck tree and jumped on it, leaning on the top of the tree, watching the moon and thinking slowly.

In the end, before Ji Xueting could come up with any useful information, he somehow fell asleep.

……

Ji Xueting dreamed of that night in 3000 years.

He sat on the steps of the Golden Luan Hall, and when he opened his eyes, he saw billowing black smoke and flickering fire in the night.

The smoke mixed with the bloody smell of people and the noisy and distant sounds of shouting and fighting, blown along the wind into the depths of the palace with its gates wide open, but now there is only one lamp like a bean in the magnificent palace in the past.

Ji Xueting blinked his eyes and remembered that this was the night when the rebels had already invaded the imperial city.

The palace people who served attentively before had already scattered and fled for their lives, and even the old servants who wanted to stay loyal to the emperor to die had already been driven out of the palace gate impatiently by him.

Compared with the hustle and bustle in the distance, at this moment, the supreme golden palace seemed extraordinarily desolate and quiet.

"It's strange. I used to think that this ghostly place was too noisy, but I didn't expect that when the rebels came to the door, it would be the cleanest here."

Ji Xueting held his chin, looked at the flames that made the sky red, and sighed softly.

After a long silence, in the shadows deep in the palace, someone responded softly: "Axue..."

Yan Ci walked towards Ji Xueting.

The handsome and tall man was still dressed in a jet-black black brocade robe like splashed ink, with only a simple and unpretentious ancient jade hanging on his waist. He didn't use gold or silver all over his body, only brocade and silk, which looked plain but extraordinarily noble.

Even today, in every move he makes, he is still calm and gentle, looking like a son of a noble family.Looking back at Yan Ci like this, Ji Xueting unconsciously became a little dazed, as if they were still as usual, and the so-called ruin of the country and family was just a dream.

But soon Ji Xueting woke up.

The rebel army's invasion of the imperial city was naturally not a dream, and the noble Yan Ci was not exactly the same as usual—if it was the usual, no matter how neglected him, it would be impossible to let him walk alone in the palace, let alone let him walk in the palace alone. The eldest son of the Yan family, Lianhuazi, who is famous all over the world, did it himself like a servant, and came with the wine and fruits on the tray.

A few eunuchs, who seemed to be stooped and humble, fell far behind him. Looking at their clothes, they seemed to be from the rebel army.

But they treated Yan Ci very respectfully.

"You came."

Ji Xueting glanced lightly at the eunuchs, and said softly with his usual expression.

Yan Ci obviously couldn't see things, but he didn't feel the slightest hesitation when walking. After hearing Ji Xueting's reply, he walked straight towards him with the tray in his hand.

Then he arrived at his side accurately, knelt down politely, and placed the tray by his hand.

"Yes, Axue... I'm here."

Yan Ci said to him, her voice was as clear as ice and snow.

Then he raised his hand and made a gesture.

The eunuchs who followed him far away disappeared into the shadows strangely.

Although they knew that they were probably still in the palace at this moment, but at least it seemed... Now in the Golden Luan Palace, only Yan Ci and Ji Xueting were left.

"Oh, that's really good, you actually brought me jade fruits!" Ji Xueting turned his head, looked at the red-clothed and jade-fleshed fruits on the tray Yan Ci brought, and cheered, "...this thing is so delicious!" It’s rare, it’s rare that you can find such a few at this time. However, isn’t it a bit wasteful to feed this kind of thing to a dying person?”

Talking about wasting, Ji Xueting's hands were quick, and he directly picked up the fruit and stuffed it into his mouth. While chewing the flesh, he said with a smile: "Oh, forget it, anyway, you have great powers, so just waste it if you waste it."

His tone was as usual, and he didn't mention the rebels who were approaching outside the palace gate at all during the conversation, only talking about such trivial things as the jade fruit didn't seem to be as sweet as usual.

But the strange thing is that after hearing Ji Xueting's words, Yan Ci's face turned pale little by little.

"Axue—"

"Shh, don't talk." Ji Xueting suddenly raised his hand and put his index finger on Yan Ci's lips. "You are so good at deceiving people. If I ask you to say a few more words, maybe I will still be dizzy and be deceived by you at this time..."

Sure enough, the man fell silent.

Ji Xueting gently brushed across the man's face with his fingertips, relying on the fact that the man couldn't see, the smile on the corner of his mouth gradually faded.

"You see, I used to always feel that I don't say anything, I don't do anything, but you, a blind man, can always find me exactly where I am, because we have a good heart, because you like me .”

Ji Xueting complained softly.

"Actually, thinking about it now, you are just blind, but I am blind." He said, "...If I had known it was only because you put a positioning incense on me, I wouldn't be a deer. I am so happy." Many times, it makes me look like an idiot."

"No, Ashue, I—"

Hearing this sentence, Yan Ci's lips parted, and he couldn't help but uttered again.

Ji Xueting covered his mouth.

"Don't talk, Yan Ci, please, just listen to me, okay?"

Yan Ci was startled, and fell silent again.

Ji Xueting spoke again, her voice was still as calm and warm as before, like a whisper between lovers.

"When the elder brother of the prince left, he said that he would definitely come back to pick me up, and asked me to wait for him for seven days, but it was only the third day... Those people called here. Although my elder brother of the prince is not very good, There are still means, and this matter is very strange to talk about. Yan Ci, I am really curious, when did you steal the defense map of the capital from him? Well, I allow you to answer me this question .”

"...your birthday."

After a long time, Yan Ci's hoarse voice sounded in the hall.

"That's it."

After a while, Ji Xueting responded.

"So it's my birthday...Pfft... At that time I thought...I thought you were really... foolishly celebrating my birthday."

Ji Xueting wanted to keep his voice calm, but in the end, the emotional turmoil was leaked out after all.

"A Xue, I originally... just wanted to keep you."

"Is this glass of wine also for me?"

Ji Xueting interrupted Yan Ci, and reached out to reach for the jug on the tray.

"Don't, Axue—"

"Since it's for me, why, aren't I allowed to drink now?"

Ji Xueting separated Yan Ci's fingers from the jug one by one, then took the white jade cup, and poured the vermilion wine into the cup.

He was still smiling, but there were tears in his eyes.

He picked up the cup, looked at the tacitly poisoned wine for a long time, then suddenly raised his hand and put the cup to Yan Ci's mouth.

"Yan Ci, look, you have lied to me so many times, you should pay something—otherwise, you would have drank this glass of wine with me, okay. If you drank it, I would have forgiven you at that time. "

That Yan Ci froze in place for a moment, then he took a deep breath and was about to drink the glass of wine in Ji Xueting's hand.

But just before that, Ji Xueting suddenly withdrew his hand, and then directly drank the wine in the glass.

"Axue?!"

Yan Ci seemed to be frightened, he stretched out his hand blankly, groping to catch Ji Xueting.

It's a pity that this time, Ji Xueting avoided his hand first.

He stood up and walked towards the outside of the Golden Luan Hall step by step. As the wine entered his throat, a hot air rose from his chest and abdomen, and soon his vision was blurred and distorted.

"Axue..."

Before Ji Xueting had time to walk outside the palace gate, his body fell limply.

However, he did not fall to the ground after all, because Yan Ci had already caught up with him and hugged him.

"I'm sorry, Ash."

Ji Xueting heard Yan Ci tell him.

"That's all. I thought about it, and found that I still can't bear it... I can't bear to let you die with me."

Lying in the man's cold arms, Ji Xueting sighed softly.

"I'm so happy...I'm also...really sad...The building is about to fall, I knew I...doomed to die...Fortunately, when I die, I will be surrounded by...my true love..."

"Ash."

Yan Ci's face has become blurred.

"It's sad but... the one who sent me poisoned wine... turned out to be... the only person I've ever loved in my life..."

The world slowly began to darken.

"Yan Ci, have you ever truly loved me...even...a little..."

"I love you, A Xue, from the beginning to the end, I love you to the bone."

Yan Ci's hands became extraordinarily hard, so hard that it seemed as if he wanted to embed Ji Xueting's limp body directly into his own.

"really?"

"Really, I—"

……

"Unfortunately, I don't believe it."

Ji Xueting, who was supposed to collapse into Yan Ci's arms, suddenly opened his eyes, and sneered softly at the man beside him.

Then he moved his body and got up suddenly, thinking that in an instant he had a snow-like long sword in his hand, and before the man had time to move, the sword pierced his chest.

"Ah... Snow?"

Yan Ci didn't seem to realize what happened at all, he stretched out his hand to cover his chest, but there wasn't even a drop of blood there.

"Tsk tsk, you monsters, you should do some homework before attacking people."

Ji Xueting calmly looked at the face of the man he loved so hard 3000 years ago, and whispered softly.

"We who practice the ruthless way have long since stopped dreaming."
