The bright moon sits on the ground

The beauty's tulle is half-covered, revealing her white arms like lotus roots, embracing the swing made of wicker, swaying gently, arousing a warm breeze, she retracts her gaze, and doesn't answer Xu Lang's call immediately, but He raised his hand and pointed to the swing beside him.

Xu Lang thought for a while, then took big steps, walked around the long winding hair, and walked to the empty swing.

This swing is made of flowers, plants, branches and leaves, exuding a fragrance, bent into the shape of half an eggshell, Xu Lang pressed it cautiously, and after confirming that it looked stronger than expected, he felt relieved and bold He sat up and looked sideways at the big beauty.

Looking at it from a distance earlier, he wanted to say, this Langfeng's High Immortal, isn't he too good-looking.

Not only the appearance, but also the demeanor of the whole body, like a silent dense forest in the evening, mysterious, peaceful and leisurely, also like the ancient Luocha Temple under the morning glow, the bells are long, clearly tolerant, but solemn , noble, and inviolable.

It's strange, Xu Lang thought, although he was so close, he wasn't very afraid of Chu Lang.

To put it another way, in fact, it was not Bai Xuan or Wu Zheng who had the most contact with him, but Chu Lang.

Just as he was wandering, he heard Chu Lang say: "I heard that there is a fruit called 'lychee' in the world, do you like it?"

Just as Xu Lang nodded, he heard a soft rustling sound, Chu Lang turned his wrist, and another cluster of emerald green leaves squeezed out from among the branches, as if attracted by something, they sank and hung down in front of Xu Lang, He was able to clearly see that there were still dots of green among the leaves, which gradually swelled up and turned into a delicate and charming red, which covered the branches, making it very pleasing to look at.

There was a sweet fragrance in his nostrils. Xu Lang touched it and found that the lychees were ripe, with uneven skins and a little hard. He glanced at Chu Lang, and after getting her consent, he stretched out his hand to pick them. A few came down and carried them in their arms.

The nails were embedded in the peel, and peeled off along the edge, revealing the white and tender color inside, smooth and soft, like a piece of nephrite jade, or like a moon pearl, the juice trickled down the finger joints, sticky, Xu Lang didn't Care, he peeled off half of the shell, leaving a base the size of a crescent moon, and then he turned around carefully, ready to hand the peeled lychee to Chu Lang.

Chu Lang shook his head, "I won't eat."

Well, so Xu Lang turned his hand and put the lychee into his mouth. He didn't know what season it was in the world at this time. After staying in Kunlun in winter for a long time, he felt a strange feeling in his heart. Feeling, I always feel that apart from the white snowstorm, other seasons, such as spring and summer, have abandoned this place and will not come as promised.

The sweet taste exploded between his lips and teeth, Xu Lang couldn't help squinting his eyes, peeled off the smooth and tender flesh with the tip of his tongue, and spit out the core.

As soon as he ate it, he couldn't control it. It was like he had never eaten lychees before, peeling off one by one. Anyway, the branch was constantly bearing heavy fruits, so he simply opened it up. Eat and soon feel a little full.

Chu Lang looked into the distance, and the willow branches creaked and swayed. She pointed in a direction and said, "Look."

Hearing this, Xu Lang licked away the juice that almost flowed from his lips, and looked in the direction Chu Lang pointed. There was a faint light in midair, like a thin layer of veil, and he couldn't see anything clearly. He tried his best to look at it for a long time, but could only give up.

He swallowed the pulp in his mouth, didn't eat any more lychees, and said honestly: "I can't see clearly. What's there?"

Chu Lang said: "There was originally an ancient vine that existed in the world since the time of Hongmeng."

Xu Lang didn't understand what it meant, so he repeated it again: "Guteng? What does it look like?"

"You won't know." Chu Lang said, "It was destroyed many years ago."

Xu Lang asked: "Then why can I still see its light?"

Chu Lang said: "Because the physical body is completely destroyed, the evil spirit that has accumulated for thousands of years is still there."

Ah, evil energy, Xu Lang remembered what Wu Zheng said, the aura and evil energy in Bai Xuan's body were in chaos, breaking the balance.

In fact, he still doesn't know what the so-called "spiritual energy" and "evil energy" are. The scene full of blood and dark lines has something to do with it. Anyway, anything that matches this word seems to be of no good.

So Xu Lang asked: "What is evil energy? What is spiritual energy?"

"Evil qi is the most yin and evil filthy thing, and aura is the most yang and best pure thing."

At the end, Chu Lang asked back: "What is evil in ordinary people's mouth? What is good?"

"It is evil to take something that does not belong to you." Xu Lang replied, "As for good, I think that it is either evil or good."

Chu Lang asked, "Why did you say that?"

Xu Lang said: "Plundering other people's property and taking other people's lives is called taking other people's things for oneself. All kinds of things in the world, such as the destruction of the country and the destruction of the family, or the collection of taxes by the bureaucrats, or the failure of the harvest, or the tyranny of the people. The entanglement of diseases is not something that gods can understand. If I say it briefly, you will probably feel complicated and heavy, let alone people in the situation? Doing nothing, but what they can do, to the greatest extent It’s a good thing, why should I criticize them and ask them to show mercy to others?”

Chu Lang smiled: "Immortals and mortals are really different. Ordinary people go astray and still have room to reform themselves. Immortals spend their whole lives not trying to contend with the emperor, officials and local scoundrels, but with themselves, lest into the abyss."

She looked at the misty light again, and said, "And that ancient vine is the source for absorbing evil things..."

From Chu Lang's mouth, Xu Lang knew what Kunlun meant, and also knew the duties of the three immortals of Kunlun.

That's why the Kunlun in the world is made of the flesh and bones of the gods, and it wakes up every time the full moon approaches.

Xu Lang thought, they are not only walking corpses, but also monsters in the world, and they are also the guardians of Kunlun.

He asked: "Since you said that the ancient vines have been destroyed, what should we do with the evil spirit in the heaven?"

"Guteng was originally a creature conceived in the evil spirit. It is the most yin and evil thing, so it can continuously absorb the evil spirit of the heaven like a glutton. Xu Lang, you were eating lychees just now, and then you felt When I became bloated, I put down the lychee and didn't touch it again, if I knew you couldn't take it anymore, but still forced you to continue eating, what would happen?"

Xu Lang thought for a while, "Will I hold on until I vomit?"

"It's the same with Guteng. Even if it has been like this for thousands of years, the evil energy it can contain has an end after all." Chu Lang said, "It won't spit out evil energy easily, but it can't absorb it anymore. Over time, it will come to an end." On the brink of collapse."

Chu Lang's thin white fingers lightly tapped her chest, and Xu Lang felt the sound of the wind move. The fingers she pressed on her heart were gradually swallowed up by the dirty blue-black, like never-tiring thorns growing wantonly, Climb up along her fingertips.

"The post of Immortal Langfeng is to guard Gu Teng." Pointing to her heart, she said, "Many years ago, when I realized that it was about to be completely destroyed by the tyrannical evil spirit, I tried my best to risk it. The danger of falling, put it here."

Without giving Xu Lang time to react, Chu Lang continued, "I fed the vine with my body, thinking that at least I could restore the precarious situation, so I told Liang Kunwu and Bai Xuan about it. After several discussions, we agreed , Absolutely cannot spread this matter, otherwise, the heavens will fall into panic, and the evil spirit in the hearts of the immortals will take a breather, and they will take the opportunity to devour their souls, and then it will not be something we can redeem."

"Baixuan only told Emperor Donghua. The Queen Mother of the West had already sensed that something was wrong when she extradited the evil spirit. After that, she asked me again and again, and I also told her about it. They all know the importance of Guteng, but the thousand people in the heaven Tens of thousands of years have been spent like this, and the Emperor's opening of the Heavenly Mirror to His Highness the Ninth Prince was only refined by chance, and it is by no means an easy task."

"Xu Lang, you are a mortal." Chu Lang said, "But the emperor and the Queen Mother of the West didn't find out about your existence, it's just because their current situation is really stretched and they can't deal with it. Come to mingle with you."

Xu Lang listened, and it took him a long time to say: "Then, what was the scene I saw the day I fell into Kunlun..."

"Although I tried my best, I still couldn't turn the situation around." She said, "We didn't expect the day of backlash to come so quickly. I had already expected it, so I didn't panic. The fate is unpredictable, but it just made them Caught off guard."

That day, Chu Lang was unexpectedly calm, and her eyes were in darkness. She heard evil whispers, piercing into her heart, and the pain made her breathless. Bai Xuan and Liang Kunwu who were silent.

"The fallen devil has never had room to change." She pressed her chest and said, "Liang Kunwu, you have always been the most rational."

Liang Kunwu did not speak, as if he had lost his voice, but just looked at her with a rare look of pain in his eyes.

"Baixuan." Chu Lang said again, "You are the executioner of the heavens, why didn't you take action when you saw the gods being swallowed by evil spirits?"

They didn't talk, Chu Lang gradually felt that the scene in front of her was becoming more and more blurred and heavy, as if the sun and the moon were being swallowed, the night was growing wantonly, the complex shadows were snickering, the pain became more and more obvious, she felt Gu Teng Piercing her chest, nourished by evil spirits, full of malice, thanking her for her generosity—Chu Lang staggered, and finally couldn't stand still.

"It hurts too much." She coughed intermittently, almost forced to cry, "For the sake of the past, let it end."

There was another long silence, and then, Chu Lang felt Bai Xuan's hand covering her eyes, she couldn't see clearly, so she simply closed her eyes, and in the haze, she heard a voice. The clang of the knife was mournful, like weeping, piercing through her heart, followed by the sound of tearing, blood splashed everywhere, the bones were forcibly separated, and the ancient vine was taken away.

"As for your appearance, it was just an accident." Chu Lang sighed, "Seven days passed, and the soul returned to its hometown. Bai Xuan and Liang Kunwu lit the incense for chasing the soul. I met them briefly, and then I realized that it was me who fell. At this time, some mortals strayed into Kunlun by mistake. Although we don’t know what your appearance means, Bai Xuan believes that everything in this world has traces to follow. Nothing appears for no reason, nor disappears for no reason. Yes, so I kept you here and wanted you to become this Langfeng Immortal Monarch."

Xu Lang suddenly felt a little embarrassed, he wanted to comfort Chu Lang, but Chu Lang looked calm and didn't need comfort at all.

So he dawdled for a long time, and finally handed the laurel wreath made of willow branches to Chu Lang.

Chu Lang was slightly puzzled, glanced at Xu Lang, but reluctantly thanked him, took it, and put it on his lap.

"Since you have stayed in Kunlun, you will inevitably be frightened. Just like a few days ago, if you are caught by Pojun Xingjun again, it may not be so easy to fool you. What's more, I have no way to stay in the future. I'm by your side." As she spoke, she spread her palm, and Xu Lang saw a pure white flower blooming in her palm, but she didn't know its name.

"Drink the nectar from the flowers, connect your destiny with Kunlun, and you will gain eternity."

There was indeed a little dew in the petals, clear and clear, and Xu Lang looked at each other, but he didn't take the flower immediately, pursed his lips, and paused for a long, long time before finally making up his mind, and said, "Sorry, I like me quite a bit." This short lifespan."

When he said this, Chu Lang also felt that it was expected, shook his head, and explained: "I don't want you to drink the nectar immediately, whenever you want, you can choose this path, so you Accept it first, and think about it later."

Chu Lang put the flowers in Xu Lang's arms, took out the jade hairpin from his hair, and handed it to him, "Because all things must rely on, this hairpin can drive the nectar and connect it to Kunlun, but the price is that when you drink If you pour nectar, you will never be able to leave Kunlun again."

Eternal life is also eternal loneliness, and there is an insurmountable, cage-like place.

Xu Lang thought it through very thoroughly, but Chu Lang had already shown too forgiving, if he didn't accept it, it would be a disgrace to Chu Lang.

With a wrinkled face, he took the jade hairpin and fiddled with it in his hands.

The nectar in this flower will not flow down the petals, even if it is thrown up and taken down, the nectar will not splash out a drop.

"I know you will go to Bai Xuan after waking up from the dream, so I won't mention it." Chu Lang stood up and said, "His situation is indeed not optimistic, but what I am worried about is another thing. I was right, he probably...can't last long."

Xu Lang's heart skipped a beat, and he asked, "Bai Xuan, what happened to him?"

"You'll know when you go. If Bai Xuan wants to tell you, he will tell you. If he doesn't want to tell you, you won't know no matter how much you ask. Xu Lang, I'm just an afterimage, and you're just a mortal. Just like what you said, even if we do nothing, others have no reason to criticize and criticize us." Chu Lang didn't answer his question directly, "I'm leaving."

Xu Lang knew that she was always going to leave, but he didn't expect it to be so fast. Chu Lang seemed to be like this all along. Others were astonished by her, and when they were worried and panicked for her, she didn't care at all. She patted the ashes on her body and turned around. Just leave, nothing to worry about.

So he had no choice but to hold back like this: "Is there anything else you want to tell me?"

Chu Lang thought for a while, and left a sentence.

Contrary to Xu Lang's expectations, these words are very plain, and have nothing to do with the common people, and have nothing to do with the crumbling heaven.

"Take care of my flowers" - that's all Chu Lang said.
