The bright moon sits on the ground

Gu worms crawled on the ground,? Qin Rongchong has never felt that this kind of sound is so annoying, makes him feel sick, makes him feel scared,? It makes him feel more puzzled—because Tan Ji doesn't seem to be right He became murderous.

But the most important thing now is to break free from the shackles.

Tan Ji's spirit is not normal anymore, even if he has no killing intent, it is impossible for Tan Rongchong to take him lightly.

Another point is that Gu Huazhi is standing on a small boat on a wet and cold river bank right now? He has always been a very lonely person,? Tan Rongchong just needs to think for a moment that he is waiting at the junction of water and sky,? Looking at the scene in the sky, he felt anxious, and the fire was burning in his chest, making his breathing so fast that he could not wait to leave here now.

"Master." He pressed the tip of his tongue against his teeth and forced out a sentence between his teeth, "Do you really know what you are doing?"

"What am I doing?" Tan Ji smiled coldly, "I'm reminding you not to forget your mission."

Tan Rongchong was panting, his mind was in chaos, the rustling sound of Gu worms crawling, the gurgling sound of water, and Tan Ji's hoarse and deep voice, contained malice that could not be easily ignored, as if he hadn't gained anything by himself, ? I don't want others to get it either.

He remembered Tan Ji's inexplicable words when he came here a few days ago.

"The next Patriarch, haven't you thought about why I became your master?"

Tan Rongchong thought,? It's not like he didn't think about it, but Tan Ji is the younger brother of his original master, so he naturally thought that this was almost an act of entrusting his disciples.Judging from the results, Tan Ji doesn't like himself, Tan Ji doesn't like anyone, let alone accept anyone as his apprentice, he didn't choose it himself, but someone asked him to do it, so he did it reluctantly.

What is the reason?Why didn't Tan Ji leave Lingyan Lake?Why did he accept himself as an apprentice?

He frowned, and felt that there were many secrets hidden in it, many secrets that he shouldn't know. If Tan Ji really had any dissatisfaction, he could make a request to his father instead of just being here with him who couldn't do it. The Lord's people are entangled.

What can be known and what can't be known, this point was completely cleared by Tan Rongchong when he eavesdropped a few years ago.

Moreover, Tan Ji is now delirious, so he has to weigh how much of what he said is true and how much is false.

Tan Rongchong kept stepping back until his back touched the railing, and the icy temperature made him more conscious.

This is not something he can solve, he gritted his teeth and thought, no matter what, he didn't want to get entangled with Tan Ji anymore.

But Tan Ji pressed on step by step, and the Gu worms closed into a circle, tightly surrounding him. Even if Tan Rongchong wanted to escape from this place, he had nowhere to go, unless, unless he jumped into the lake.However, just looking down there, Tan Rongchong felt a strong fear rising in his heart, and all the sense organs in his body screamed to warn him not to touch the lake water.

Tan Rongchong turned his hands away, quietly untied the wooden box on his back, and kept talking, trying to draw Tan Ji's attention: "My mission? I thought what I wanted to do was to succeed the next Patriarch, but this It has nothing to do with whether I leave Xiayan City or not. I just left here for a short time and will come back soon, so why did Master stop me?"

As expected, Qin Ji was distracted by his words, and sneered, "I have shouldered a sin that does not belong to me, and you, Tan Rong Chong, after I die, you will take over this heavy sin. Last time I asked you a question, Do you have an answer in your heart?"

After saying this, he didn't wait for Tan Rongchong to open his mouth, and continued on his own: "It's okay to tell you, I'm just a scapegoat pushed by the Tan family, they can do anything, but I can only stay at On this lonely Lingyan Lake, as for you, you are just like me, you are just a lamb pushed out to bear the blame, but there is a little difference between us."

Tan Rongchong unlocked the buckle with his fingers, took out the Gu worm from the wooden box, and said "I've offended you" in his heart, and when he was about to fight back, Tan Ji suddenly made a movement, and kicked him two inches below his knee viciously with the tip of his shoe. , the sudden impact made Tan Rongchong stunned for a moment, the Gu worms on the ground seemed to have finally found the opportunity, climbed up, and his calf was soon engulfed in the black tide.

Tan Ji's hand was firmly pressed on his shoulder, and Tan Rongchong's knee pain was unbearable, and he was about to kneel down as soon as his legs softened.

He took a breath, propped his palms on the ground, his wrists and shoulders were trembling, the black tide formed by the Gu worms showed a gap for a moment, and then rushed over again, crawling up his fingers, covering him On the back of his hand, climb up, as if to devour him completely, the flesh and blood are eaten away, not even the bones are left.

The moist breath rushed into the nostrils and reached the top of the sky, Tan Rongchong felt that everything in front of him gradually became blurred.

Not only his arms and shoulders, but his legs were also trembling, and he fell towards the ground, but he tried his best to control him, barely half an inch away.

Tan Ji took the crystal-clear Gu worm from his hand lightly, squinted his eyes to look at it, and sighed, "I didn't expect you to be able to refine this kind of Gu worm", and then, mercilessly, shook his hand Just threw it into the lake, not even bothering to pass it over.

"Do you know the difference between us?" He looked down at Qin Rongchong and said, "The difference is that you are the most beloved son of the head of the family, so the final decision they made was to let you live without any worries. In the past few years, you forced me to be this pioneer, and after I die, you will come to this Lingyan Lake to endure these sufferings...you are so lucky."

Tan Ji smiled and said, "They don't understand at all that everyone in the Tan family will be buried here, including you and me."

Tan Rongchong opened his mouth in vain, he wanted to say, I don't know what you are talking about, the words you said are outrageous, but his whole body was soaked with sweat, and his eyes were stained dirty by the water stains glass beads.

Those Gu worms just covered his body and restricted his movement, but Tan Rongchong somehow felt a little nauseous.

He choked, swallowed back the smell of rust in his throat, and asked vaguely: "I don't know what you've been through, and I don't know what's about to happen, but since you know that the Qin family will be destroyed, why didn't you say it in advance , let the Qin family avoid disaster?"

Tan Ji's eyes were dimmed, he withdrew his hand, and kicked him hard on the chest again, with a ferocious and distorted face, he scolded loudly: "Tan Rongchong, you are so naive, if it were you, you would be willing to be alone Are you guarding Xiayan City? Will you be willing to face the water corpses in Lingyan Lake that can never be completely destroyed? Will you be willing to suffer day and night?"

Qin Rongchong finally understood.

Why is there a puddle of water in Tan Ji's room; why does he stay in Lingyan Lake all the time, as if he is guarding something; why does he always dare not pass Lingyan Lake at dusk, and would rather take a long detour than go into the lake Take a look.

Because there are water corpses hidden in the lake, and Tan Ji is the lamb that was pushed out for "sacrifice".

Tan Rongchong coughed up a mouthful of blood, unable to hold on any longer, his knees slammed into the ground with a muffled sound, and the pain spread all over his body. However, he felt that what made him even more unbearable was that he unexpectedly He knelt down with a silent face.

"I will." I don't know if it's because of rebellion, Tan Rongchong panted heavily, and looked at Tan Ji with those eyes that were filled with water mist. There seemed to be two flames burning in his eyes, which made people feel hot, "I It won't be like you, Tan Ji."

Today, decades later, Nie Qiu thinks, Tan Rongchong has indeed achieved this.

After that catastrophe, Tan Rongchong took control of the Qin family and dismissed the only remaining blood in the family. Now, in this huge Xiayan City, he is the only one with the blood of the Tan family, while the others were expelled from Xiayan City. And was ordered never to return.

Speaking of Tan Rongchong and Gu Huazhi, they are destined to part ways.

Tan Rongchong was not aware of Gu Huazhi's condition, nor did he know that he had deprived him of his last chance of life.

And Gu Huazhi knew nothing about the secrets of the Tan family, let alone why Tan Rongchong insisted on staying in Lingyan Lake.

One doesn't want to say it, the other can't say it, although they are very close to each other, but they seem to be far away from each other.

Two people who should have no relationship, because of "entering the abyss", their lives can meet and meet, and then from a certain moment, gradually, they will extend to the distance along their original path, and eventually they will deviate from each other and never meet again. when.

"If you want to ask me, you won't regret it later." The last stick of incense burnt half, and the ash fell into the bottom of the incense burner, splashing scattered dust, Tan Rongchong looked there as if aware of it, and said softly, "I am very fortunate to have met Gu Huazhi. He let me know that it is possible to walk alone in the world with ease. I hope he will not regret meeting me."

Also, hopefully he won't be disappointed by my last missed appointment.

Tan Rongchong felt that his thoughts were ridiculous again. He missed the appointment, which really happened.

He still remembers how angry and disappointed he was when Gu Huazhi missed the appointment.

Therefore, he could actually imagine Gu Huazhi's mood at that time, but he didn't want to think about it.

Gu Huazhi clearly said "I won't miss the appointment again", but the one who missed the appointment was the person he had been waiting for.

Tan Rongchong felt a stuffy pain in his chest, maybe the pain left by Tan Ji at that time was still there, bit by bit gnawing at his heart and lungs, leaving behind a pain as fine as a needle, he closed his eyes She closed her eyes, took a breath, raised her hand to touch the jade pendant, stroked the lifelike lotus with her fingertips, and could even clearly feel the curvature of each petal.

"Let me know what Gu Huazhi thinks."

"Let me know when his long wait began and where it ended," he said.
