The long love of the ancient sword

Baili Tusu closed his eyes tightly from the moment he saw Chu Chan start to turn into light spots and scatter away.

Although he had already felt ominous in his heart due to all the weirdness of Chu Chan's resurrection, but...but...no shock could make him feel the powerless despair in his heart more than seeing his childhood sweetheart's soul fly away alive in front of his eyes!

"hateful!"

He uncontrollably punched the ground hard, leaving little bloodstains on the hard blue bricks laid on the altar.

Those distant spots of light took away not only Chu Chan's surviving flesh and blood, but also the last thought in his heart about saving his mother!

As for Chu Changyi, until Chu Chan's light spot faded away, she just stood there facing the rising sun, silently.

"Susu, you...don't be too sad", Feng Qingxue's voice was a little cautious, "Chuchu too, you all...don't be too sad..."

Long memory?

Baili Tusu stood up abruptly and rushed to Chu Changyi: That's Xiaochan...she must be in more pain than she is now!

"Chang Yi, you... let go!"

Fang stood still in front of Chu Changyi, and the way she clenched her lower lip, which was soaked in blood, made him cry out in surprise.

"Chang Yi, you...don't do this..."

As soon as Baili Tusu grasped Chu Changyi's hands, he realized that her hands were cold to the touch, and the dull blue color in his eyes became more obvious... Now he only hates himself for not being able to speak, even though he is thinking about it now. He wanted to comfort her, but he couldn't pass it on to her.

"Miss Chu, Mr. Baili, I know...you must be very sad...but please calm down and listen to me..."

Hongyu came to the side of the siblings, and slightly raised the volume so that they could listen to them who were immersed in the pain:

"Sister Xiaochan... I'm afraid... she didn't really come back to life, and the one who just dispersed was not Lingmei..."

"how can that be?"

The few people who watched and sighed were very puzzled: If you want to comfort, you have to choose a more reliable reason, right?Chu Changyi and Baili Tusu saw the resurrected person more than ten days ago, wasn't he himself?

"What's the meaning?"

Baili Tusu didn't react at all, and after half of his attention was drawn away by Hongyu's words, he didn't notice that Chu Changyi, who was holding his hands, trembled slightly.

"In the world, there is a strange insect called "Jiao Ming", which was born overseas and is ten thousand years old. When it gathers, it looks like vegetation, and it cannot be easily distinguished by people..."

"If a special method is used as medicine," a somewhat familiar hoarse voice continued Hongyu's words, "If a special method is used as medicine, the carp's body will not be destroyed, but it can eat human bones, and then gather into a shape to touch people's hearts. "

Looking around at the dumbfounded partners, that voice, Chu Changyi, asked:

"Am I right or wrong, Miss Hongyu?"

"Since the girl already knows it well, it's Hongyu who will repeat it."

"..."

Baili Tusu couldn't say anything, and he didn't know what to say. He just held Chu Changyi's hands tightly and tried to pass his body temperature to her—her hands were getting wet and cold now, like the temperature of the first thawing ice. .

"Insects... eat human bones...", Fang Lansheng was dumbfounded, "Then she...isn't the mother with a wooden face...?"

"Sister Changyi, you mean..." Xiangling swallowed.

"In ancient times, there were people with so-called supernatural powers. In order to cling to the powerful, they used this method to deceive the emperor, calling them reversible heaven and the living dead." Chu Changyi said as if he had nothing to do with the materials he had read in his mind. The dissipated little cicada..."

She paused for a moment before slowly continuing: "It's not that she's out of her wits, she's not even a little cicada! Only the fire that contains spiritual power can be extinguished..."

"Stop talking! Stop talking!"

Baili Tusu, who had been silent in front of Chu Changyi, suddenly interrupted the girl's statement.

"Stop talking... Chang Yi... you..."

The boy held the girl in front of him in his arms, it was hard to say.He could no longer look at her suppressing this pain as if nothing had happened!Her eyes told him all the time—she was crying—her eyes were crying!

Chu Changyi closed her eyes and took a deep breath before forcing herself to break free from the warm embrace that was clinging to her and made her a little greedy.

"Whether it is the soul flying away or the Jiao Ming, it will be clear when the sun goes down tonight."

She said it word for word.

She would rather believe that Xiao Chan was lost in soul than that she was swallowed by Jiao Ming because of a decision of her own.Of course, she is more unwilling to deceive herself into believing a false lie to comfort herself——

I would rather be covered in bruises than pursue the truth!

Everything depends on when the sun goes down tonight...

―――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

When the last ray of the setting sun was finally swallowed by the night, familiar light spots lit up from around the altar, gathered in the place where it drifted in the early morning, and finally condensed into the appearance of Chu Chan.

"It's true... at night, it becomes Chang Yi's sister and sister..."

Xiangling covered her mouth in surprise, looking at the condensed 'Chu Chan'.

"Really... just like what Chuchu and Sister Hongyu said..."

Feng Qingxue muttered to herself.

"Stop talking!"

From the moment the light spot appeared, Baili Tusu's evil spirit was faintly floating... He tried his best to restrain himself and maintain his sanity, and almost gritted his silver teeth.

Chu Changyi came to 'Chu Chan' and squatted down slowly, looking straight into those dull eyes.

She stretched out her hand and stroked the other's immature cheek slowly, again and again.

It's really similar...

Even if he knew it was fake, he was a walking corpse who deceived the world...

But why...why is it so similar to the soft touch in memory?

Let her... make it so difficult for her to deceive herself...

"I want to be alone with Xiaochan for a while."

Chu Changyi stared at the same familiar face in front of him and said calmly.

"That's fine. Miss Chu and Mr. Baili, the fact that you can bring the dead back to life is beyond human power. Please don't blame yourself too much."

"Wooden face, you..."

Fang Lansheng scratched his head awkwardly, trying to comfort him, but was silenced by Hongyu's gesture.

"Chuchu, Susu, you...don't be too sad..."

Chu Changyi and Baili Tusu's sister and brother focused on 'Chu Chan', and the other devoted themselves to their sweetheart, and did not give any response to their worried companions.

After getting down to the altar, everyone looked back at Chu Changyi and Baili Tusu who were still on the altar.

"Why... this happened? When I came out of the cave... Although it wasn't Lord Wu Zhu, I could feel it! Susu was so happy, for Chu Chu and sister Xiaochan... Chu Chu also..."

"That's right. If Xiangling finds mother, but mother leaves Xiangling again, Xiangling will be very sad...more sad than when she hasn't found mother..."

"Yes, the world is unpredictable." Hongyu sighed with emotion and touched Xiangling's head and said, "Let's go back tonight. Miss Chu is accompanied by Mr. Baili. Let's come and have a look tomorrow morning."

"Chuchu, and Susu." Feng Qingxue looked at the altar with sentimental and regretful eyes, "They are... how sad they must be..."

This is what my mother-in-law once said... What I gain is what I lose again, right?

Feng Qingxue covered her heart: It feels so uncomfortable...the eye sockets are also hot...

Feng Qingxue, who had just entered the world, tasted a feeling called "sadness" for the first time.

On the altar, Baili Tusu sat beside Chu Chan with Chu Changyi, his jade-like black eyes filled with heartache that couldn't be concealed.

When the breath of the companions gradually moved away from the altar, Chu Changyi seemed not to care about the real shape of 'Chu Chan' in front of him at all, and slowly talked to her about their childhood past.

"The first time I saw you, Xiaochan, you were only a little bit big, wrapped in swaddling clothes like a little bun..."

While stroking 'Chu Chan''s head lightly, Chu Changyi stretched out his hand and made a 'small dot' gesture.

"The grown-ups are busy with their affairs, but they put you and Yunxi together for me to watch. I was only so old at that time, but I wanted to watch you two little brats..."

Xu Shi remembered the naive thoughts at the time, and Chu Changyi smiled softly.

But Baili Tusu trembled when he heard the word 'Yunxi', then turned his head to the side and clenched his fists tightly.

"When you grow up a little bit and can run and dance, you will make me feel uncomfortable all day long. However, Xiaochan, you are the most obedient, as long as you listen to my stories, you will stay quietly without making noise, no That brat like Yunxi! He'll just abduct you all day long and make me worry..."

Hearing this, Baili Tusu turned his gaze back again, and the blurred memory of the past became clearer with Chu Changyi's narration, and the warm memory made the tense body of the young man relax a little... But what followed, It is the sad state of mind that can no longer find ordinary happiness.

"Little cicada grows up a bit, becomes more sensible and well-behaved, and loves beauty more. She always likes the feathers of all kinds of bright birds, and she also learns to weave beautiful hair ropes by herself, and then rarely pesters me. Comb your beautiful braids..."

There was a gentle smile on the corner of Chu Changyi's mouth.She began to use her fingers as a comb, and gently combed the hair of 'Chu Chan', and took out a soft and bright pink ribbon from her bosom, and tied a flying bow for the braided hair under her fingers.

Baili Tusu remembered that it was a gift from Chu Changyi's clansmen who came back from Chu Changyi's fourth birthday to Xiao Chan.Xiaochan loves and cherishes it very much. She hides it under her pillow on weekdays and is reluctant to wear it until festivals.

"Look, how beautiful! When Xiaochan grows up, she will definitely be a cute and pretty girl who everyone loves!"

Chu Changyi stood in front of 'Chu Chan' again, looked at his achievements left and right, and then praised.

after growing up……

"Chang Yi, stop talking..."

There is no future for Xiaochan, and there will never be again.

Chu Changyi glanced at Baili Tusu who was hurt by her pain, her lips moved a few times as if she wanted to say something to him... But just this one glance, she continued to speak.

"Xiaochan, when I practiced the piano in the past, you always said that one day I will play a real song for you after practicing... Today, my sister can finally make it happen for you."

After speaking, Chu Changyi took out and arranged the Great Sage's legacy on the spot, plucked and tuned the string with his fingers, and then started to play.

The sound of the piano is long, the sobs are gentle, like weeping and complaining.

When Baili Tusu came back to his senses, he had already played the leaf flute to accompany the sound of the piano...

This is a qin piece recalling the past, and it is also a farewell song.

Chu Changyi and Baili Tusu were beside 'Chu Chan', repeating this farewell song tirelessly.

Until the morning star hangs high in the sky.

Chu Changyi's ten fingers were cut bloody by the strings of the great sage's last voice, and even the strings and the body of the piano were covered with mottled blood; while Baili Tusu, who had changed a few leaves in his mouth, licked his lips. The surface of the petals is also ground by the rough surface of the leaves until the skin oozes blood...

The sky will be bright.

Chu Changyi put away the guqin.

She still caressed the head of 'Chu Chan' gently with her blood-stained palm:

"I'm sorry, apart from this, my sister can't do anything for you anymore... It's all because I'm incompetent and useless... Let your bones be tortured..."

A gleam of determination flashed in the girl's remorseful black eyes.

"Now... I, my incompetent sister... will send you off for the last time!"

Before she finished speaking, spiritual energy suddenly rushed out of her body.

A warning suddenly rose in Baili Tusu's heart, and he had no time to think about it, only in time to grab Chang Yi's left hand closest to him and shout:

"Long memory is impossible!"

It's too late.

Chu Changyi's aura has turned into a fire of spiritual power, completely enveloping Jiao Ming in the form of Chu Chan.

The burning spiritual fire lit up the entire altar.

"Well!"

When the fire of spiritual power burned Jiao Ming without a trace of ashes, Chu Changyi couldn't bear the severe pain in his heart anymore and spit out a mouthful of blood.

Immediately, the whole person collapsed in Baili Tusu's arms as if he had no strength left.
