The villain is respected

Yue Yanjin's words almost made Elder Gu unsteady, he staggered to support the table, and muttered: "It's over, it's over, what should I do?"

"If what Yu Jianzun said is the truth..." Gu Mufa finally realized the seriousness of the matter, and his eyes widened in shock, "Tell me, what secrets does Dongxuhai have that will kill Yu Jianzun and require all spirits? Lock array to seal?"

As soon as the words fell, a heavy boulder was pressed against the chests of everyone present, and the tacit silence dissipated the haze, quietly enveloping everyone's hearts.

For a while, no one took up the conversation anymore, but an extremely terrifying question that could not be thought about in the slightest, was hanging lightly on everyone's fragile throats like a sharp knife hanging from a spider's thread.

——If Yu Jianzun falls, and the Wanling lock formation cannot be locked, so what.

In the Heart Demon Abyss of the Eastern Paradise Sea.

Xie Chi strolled on the noisy street, some people beside him were laughing and whispering, while others hurried on their way.He walked quietly in the bustle alone, but his expression didn't change at all - no matter how lively it was, it was just an illusion.

Suddenly, he slightly raised his hand to catch a cluster of catkins blown by the wind, and the soft touch dissipated in the palm of his hand, turning into pink mustard.

For thousands of years, he has come here in the endless heart demon abyss.Use all the memories to construct a ten-kill environment for yourself, and then repeat the memories over and over again to kill time.

At the beginning, he was still immersed in it, reincarnating the past again and again.But after a hundred times and a thousand times, the Ten Kills Realm could no longer trap him.

He finally became a bystander, and he just quietly watched himself replay the established story over and over again, hitting his head badly, but he still didn't know how to repent.

This is too desperate—knowing that everything is an illusion, and that I will always be alone in the Heart Demon Abyss, I still have to pretend to be lively, as if I can not be alone this way.

Finally, Xie Chi made a decision - only he can guard Xinmoyuan, and he is willing to spend his whole life here, but before that, he just wants to see the sunshine again.

As a result, Xinmoyuan was in turmoil, and the Kyushu Sword Master came here under the command, and he distracted himself as he wished, and then returned to Dongwang... Everything seemed to be going smoothly, but people's greed is always endless.

Until he returned to Dongxuan and fell into the darkness again, Xie Chi found that he was suffering every moment, and the loneliness that was once tolerable became so unbearable in an instant.Like sitting on pins and needles, like maggots attached to bones.

He was trapped and died in another memory, a fleeting dream.

Now, Xie Chi stood by the side of the street, looking at the bustling crowd, counting silently in his heart.

Just a moment later, the person he was waiting for would come slowly from the end of the street, and there would be some odds and ends hidden behind that person, and then they would raise their eyebrows and hold them in front of him.

Xie Chi stared at the noisy scene in front of him indifferently, without any disturbance in his heart, just quietly waiting for the beginning of all hopes.Suddenly, his eyes narrowed slightly, and finally landed on one place.

I saw a young man standing on the corner of the street, wrapped in a dusty cloak, like a stray kitten that had rolled in a mud puddle, with drooping ears, standing alone in the corner looking at him.

In Xie Chi's Ten Kills Realm, apart from himself, all strangers look bright and happy, with smiles on their faces, and in the false joy, they entrust all the hopes of those who set up the realm.

Never had a dirty kitten come in.

For some reason, Xie Chi stared at him for a long time, rather than suddenly becoming vigilant, it was more like an old wine jar quietly cracked in his heart, the smell of wine welled up his nostrils, and the corners of his eyes were reddened by the sour taste.An extremely familiar feeling made him almost blurt out that name.

"Yu..." What's his name?

In an instant, Xie Chi's eyes were blank for a moment, and the name that was already on his lips could not be uttered in the end.The surrounding scenes changed silently, but its owner knew nothing about it.

The boy in the corner finally moved. He stared at the person in front of him, with a focused and devout expression, and walked step by step.It was as if the track of time was speeding up invisibly, people around me were flocking, and the wine flag was waving and changing their appearance——

Every time the young man took a step, the sky became darker, but the spirit in his eyes became brighter.When he walked in front of Xie Chi, there were already lights behind him, shining brightly, his eyebrows and eyes were curved, and he was so obedient.

But the wide street beside Xie Chi turned into a river dotted with stars.

Where there are stars, there is no moon.In the deep blue night, the river of stars surged, while the thousands of stars in the world were crushed, sprinkled on the river, and unintentionally fell into the eyes of the young man.

The child's eyes were slightly bent, gentle and obedient, just like a stray cat withdrew its sharp claws, exposing its cleanest white belly and softly rubbing against the human hand.

"Ah Xie, what are they doing?" The boy asked softly curiously.

After the words fell, Xie Chi seemed to be bewitched, but also seemed to have broken through all the obstacles, and suddenly came back to his senses.

He was slightly taken aback, and looked in the direction the boy was pointing at, only to see that the men and women on the street were all glowing, shyly took the red thread under the marriage tree, and tied their wrists.

A short red rope was dangling, but the man and woman took a half step deliberately, as if there was a bit more concealed affection than directly interlocking fingers.

"Such a thin red rope, you can take it off as soon as you struggle." The young man who had been struggling all the time couldn't figure out the hidden love, he directly broke all the ambiguity, frowned and commented in a low voice.

Seeing his appearance, Xie Chi was secretly amused, so he deliberately sang the opposite tune, "It's not about tying people, but about heart, which lasts longer than tying people."

The young man was stunned for a moment, then he pointed to the front and asked earnestly, "If you tie it up, you can't run away?"

Xie Chi nodded calmly and maturely: "Yes."

The young man turned around slyly and merged into the crowd. He secretly asked for a thread and tied it around the man's wrist.Xie Chi just wanted to pretend to be angry, but saw that the young man didn't look at him, his hands were moving, and he muttered to himself in a low voice.

"Ah Xie, if you want to leave, you can untie it at any time."

The young man lowered his eyes, and seriously tied a slipknot on his wrist, while the one on his own wrist was an extremely firm knot.

He tied the knot, held the thin thread stubbornly, and waited with bated breath for the final decision—clearly terrified, he had to pretend to be meaningless, but the nervous expectation in his eyes betrayed him completely .

Xie Chi stared at him, unable to see clearly.After a moment of silence, suddenly, he stretched out his hand and pulled the end of the thread straight away, and the slipknot instantly fell apart.

The light in the boy's eyes suddenly dimmed, and he lowered his head in embarrassment.

He pursed his lips tightly, grabbed the corner of his clothes in a daze, and was about to say something to get away with it, but at the next moment, his heart jumped violently, and there was moisture in his eyes——

I saw that the man wound the red rope around his wrist again, and tied the same unsolvable knot as the boy's hand.

"You can't even tie people..." Xie Chi shook the thread on his wrist, raised his eyebrows and smiled, "Do you still have to teach me?"

"Then, if you tie it up, you won't leave." A stuttering voice came.

"Don't go."

Receiving an affirmative answer, the young man smiled with brows and eyes crooked. He raised his wrist tied with a red rope, turned and walked forward, his high ponytail flicked behind him, directly showing his master's good mood.

Xie Chi shook his head helplessly, but also smiled and followed.He has been staring at the young man's back, with a soft smile on his face that he has never noticed——

Until the surrounding noise subsided, he stepped on a piece of scorched earth covered with dried blood, and the disgusting smell of blood filled his side. The village was full of smoke and flames reflected the sky.

Xie Chi looked around, the smile on his face slowly froze, and his mind went blank.As he walked through the dilapidated and simple house step by step, hot tears shed from his eyes unconsciously.

This is... Zixun Mountain.

The blockage of memory collapsed in an instant, and the smoke and dust filled the air.A series of sharp mournful cries whistled beside his ears, making Xie Chi have a splitting headache.

run!don't look back...

Axie, I will wait for your return.

He looked at the ponytail that was still swaying left and right in front of him, and opened his mouth, trying to call out to that person.

But at the moment when he was about to speak, the scene changed again in an instant.

The starless and moonless night is like a pitch-black ocean, with a storm brewing and about to swallow all life.But in the next second, a bit of starlight escaped from somewhere, and it swayed up crookedly, like a dying candle shivering in the cold wind.

At the moment when it was about to be annihilated by darkness, the invisible confinement was instantly released.Countless stars jumped out of the palm, like a river of stars hanging upside down, rushing into the sky.

With the faint light for a moment, Xie Chi saw a familiar face, stained with blood, with a slightly tired brow and eyes, but still smiling—it was himself.

Xie Chi looked at himself who was hiding in the darkness and comforting someone with a gentle voice. Countless spirit grasses escaped from his palms, and shining stars shone through the abyss.He heard himself say proudly: "Look, it's amazing! Most people can't catch it."

"Don't be afraid, I'll show you the stars."

Yunling Grass.Xie Chi's eyes were already filled with tears.

It was as if a boulder was being chiseled bit by bit, and with each hammer, the cracks spread like spider webs, almost splitting his heart in two.

Half of it is the star dots surging in his palm in the dark night, and the other half is the sea of ​​flowers and stars that he "encountered" on the top of Mingliang Mountain.

Those forgotten memories finally came to life gradually, overlapping with his memories, seamlessly, exactly.

Xie Chi raised his eyes, only to see the young man in front of him walking unconsciously.

His black hair is tied up high, his back is straight and proud, just like Xie Chi's memory - no matter how many setbacks he encounters, no matter how hard he struggles between life and death every day, he will never bow his head and be stubborn walked forward.

Around the boy's waist was the matching sword he had bought.

That ordinary iron sword with a wooden sheath.

Knowing that the man would no longer be able to control the spirit sword after the spirit vein was severed, Xie Chi deliberately used the lack of money as an excuse to buy him an ordinary Fantie sword, and named it "Qi Lai".

The phoenix rests in the wu, reborn from nirvana.

It sounds like a joking title, but Xie Chi's deepest hope is hidden.Now, there were two white jade-like pendants hanging on the sword, and they collided lightly, making a crisp jingling sound.One is engraved with Chongwu's wolf pattern - the other is a safety buckle.

"This is the fang of the phantom python. I carved a safety button for you." In a trance, Xie Chi's ear rang again from the conversation at that time.

"Xiao Jianhan, it and I will protect you, and you will be safe."

Peace and safety...

In an instant, Xie Chi's footsteps stopped completely, his heart was torn into a bloody wound, and the pain was so painful that he could hardly breathe.

Later, later...

He clutched his chest unbearably, and bent down slowly, almost choked up.The dam of memory collapsed completely, and the past was like a tidal wave.The old and new memories turned into old spirits finally overturned, pouring through the wound in an instant, and the pungent pain flooded in an instant.

"Xiao Jianhan, live well. Born with sword bones and a clear heart, you will definitely become a famous hero in Kyushu in the future."

"Axie, when I become a great hero in Kyushu, I will come to you—I will definitely come to you."

However, his spiritual veins were all cut off, his bones were completely destroyed, and he was contaminated with demonic breath in the Eastern Wild Sea. It was an extravagant hope for Yu Jianhan to live for a long time, so how could he embark on the journey of cultivation again.

Not to mention, it's coming to the Eastern Wild Sea.

What happened after they parted... Xie Chi didn't dare to think about it, but he had to think about it.Peace and safety, could it be that it has finally become a vague fantasy.

"Did I fail to save you..." Xie Chi almost lost his voice, and the endless regret and pain almost drowned him.

"Axie." The young man in front was still smiling, he turned around, and walked towards Xie Chi step by step, as if he had walked through countless spring and autumn years, summer cicadas and winter snow, his figure slowly grew taller, and the expression on his face The contours are getting deeper.

"Look, I grew up peacefully."

The last trace of youthfulness in the eyebrows and eyes finally faded, and it became the gentle and humble that Xie Chi was familiar with, and the youth grew into the appearance that the Sword Master of Kyushu should have.

He has grown into a real Yu Jianhan.

But Xie Chi was very sad, so sad that he wanted to cry.He was like watching a young man who was supposed to be carefree, killed with a knife, peeled off a little bit, and finally carved into a perfect statue.

God stretched out his hand to his believers, and he said, "I am here."

A simple sentence made Xie Chi almost speechless. He gritted his teeth and cried, "Tell me, what happened back then..."

"Hush." ​​Compared to Xie Chi whose eyes were red, Yu Jianhan seemed to know what he was going to ask, he smiled and made a gesture of silence, interrupting the man's question.

"Ah Xie, I finally warmed up your remnant soul from back then. As long as you peel off this memory and remove the old wounds of the split soul, you will never remember what happened 200 years ago..."

"Only in the Ten Kills Realm, can you hide from the world and completely erase my memory." Xie Chi suddenly understood his intention. "Why? Why do you do this?" Xie Chi looked at him with tears in his eyes, "What happened..."

Need to let you lie to me like this.

The young man who fell into the Eastern Paradise Sea all those years ago had his spiritual veins severed. Even Xie Chi couldn't let him embark on the path of cultivation again.And this result, they all know it well.

But now, Yu Jianhan has achieved Kyushu Kendo and won the title of honor.

Xie Chi couldn't even imagine what that man had gone through and what price he had paid.Returning from the dead, going against the sky... Will there really be so many "opportunities" in the world?

Maybe this price is what Yu Jianhan tried his best to hide.

"Ah Xie, go to sleep." The sword master in white lowered his eyes to avoid the man's questioning, his hand covered Xie Chi's wet eyes, and his soothing voice sounded in the man's ear.

"When you wake up, you can see the light."

Behold, the light that I personally send to you.
