Bairan ran out crying.Ye Gucheng didn't stop her, didn't explain anything, just let her run out.

The Qinghui inside and outside the temple is generally cold and cold, one person sits alone in the temple and can't sleep, and the other squats at the door and weeps.The two of them didn't understand why they were so emotional, as if there was a moat in the middle, one side was born and the other side died.Bairan is still alive, but Ye Gucheng is halfway to death.But there is another invisible thread that connects the two of them, which cannot be broken or let go, but it is separated by despair.

Bairan sat on the stone steps with her knees hugged, the moonlight shining brightly in front of her eyes, such a full moon night, unknowingly reminded her of a night four years ago.It is also such a night, such a moonlight.She was still young and was held in Ye Gucheng's arms.

The man raised his eyebrows slightly, and told her calmly, "But I was born to know it."

Yuyan was still handsome and elegant, but her smile contained three points of bitterness and three points of memory for no reason, "A few years later, on such a full moon night, I will die by the sword of my greatest opponent in this life."

The prophecy-like tone is extremely serious, making people dare not believe it, but also dare not believe it.Ye Gucheng that night was also dead silent, similar to today.Bairan didn't want to think about it, if what Ye Gucheng said was true and he really only had one month left, what would happen to her?

In the past few years, she didn't have to think about anything under the protection of Ye Gucheng, but today she has to think about it.To Ye Gucheng, she never regarded him as a master, nor did she regard herself as a simple subordinate.The relatives and elders mentioned are not all.That feeling is as hot as a flame, as pure as a crystal, so clear that there is only one color.

Love is love, hate is hate.She couldn't understand what kind of feeling it was, but she could feel it clearly.If possible, she would rather exchange Ye Gucheng's life with her own death.

It's only been a month... The cloud of death weighs heavily on the hearts of the two of them.Bairan didn't ask, and Ye Gucheng didn't explain much, except for applying medicine to wash the wound, the two of them had nothing to say.

Three days later, Qiu Lao arrived at the ancient temple.Although he travels abroad, Ye Gucheng will bring Bairan back to Baiyun City once a year, so the master and apprentice are not unfamiliar.Qiu Lao seemed to sense something was wrong between the two of them, and after removing the cinnabar poison, he signaled Bairan to follow him out.

It was sunset, the clouds were extremely thick, and the rich red fire-burning stratus were extremely dazzling and magnificent.Bai Ran sat cross-legged on the roof very irregularly, picked up a broken black tile and threw it out, and only after seeing the tile falling apart from a distance did he feel the suffocation in his chest calm down a little.

The sound of wooden crutches hitting the tiles sounded from behind, but stopped after two or three.Knowing who it was, Bairan stood up and turned around, feeling aggrieved looking at Old Qiu.He whispered, "Master..."

It was Qiu Lao who came.Compared with when we first met, Qiu Lao's face still did not change, he looked about 40 or [-] years old, but his hair and temples were all white, and his breath seemed to disappear.The sound of crutches was extremely heavy, and he seemed to use all his energy to keep his face youthful.The body has decayed and overwhelmed.

"Sit down and talk." Old Qiu put the crutch horizontally and sat down slowly.Bairan also obediently sat beside Qiulao.

After looking at Bairan carefully, Qiu Lao nodded, somewhat relieved, "That's right." After saying these two words, he stared into Bairan's eyes again, with a familiar nostalgia on his face in a daze.

"Who is Master looking through me?" For some reason, Bai Ran asked such a question.

Qiu Lao was taken aback for a moment, as if he didn't expect Bairan to ask directly.Averting his eyes, he stopped staring at Bai Ran, and replied, "An old friend from many years ago, you are very similar to her. They come from the same place, and both possess Phoenix Gu."

"Phoenix Gu..." Bairan's heart moved, and he sensitively grasped the important words in Qiu Lao's words, and asked with some difficulty, "Master knows my past?"

Qiu Lao didn't answer, but said to Bai Ran, "Take out the Phoenix Gu."

Although Bairan wanted to know the memory he had forgotten, he had no less respect for Old Qiu.Hearing this, he obediently scratched his palm and called out the Phoenix Gu.

After several years of careful feeding, Phoenix Gu is no longer what it was before.The clear fiery red has been completely transformed into golden red, the size of a baby's fist, and two thin wings on the back.It still looks like a hovering giant centipede, but it has the agility and deterrence that it didn't have before.

"I grew up like this half a year ago, and it hasn't changed."

Old Qiu took the phoenix Gu and looked at it carefully over and over again.The Phoenix Gu is also strange, in the past it was not very obedient in the hands of the master Bairan, but in the hands of Qiu Lao, it was not so obedient, and he was very close to Qiu Lao.

Returning the Phoenix Gu to Bai Ran, Qiu Lao said, "Your Phoenix Gu has already grown, so it will not change again." Without waiting for Bai Ran to say anything, he asked her again, "Do you know what a Phoenix is?"

"The king of all birds, the legendary auspiciousness. The male is a phoenix, and the female is a phoenix. They are collectively called phoenix."

"The phoenix is ​​the bird of the quail fire, and the essence of yang." Qiu Lao shook his head, noncommittal to Bairan's answer, but explained to himself, "Reborn from the ashes, the male and female are compatible, you can be a phoenix. Your phoenix Gu is in this way."

Bai Ran's eyes widened in surprise when she heard this, she has cultivated Phoenix Gu for many years, and gained a lot of benefits from it, but for some reason, she can't remember the usefulness of Phoenix Gu, and Old Qiu also avoids it talk. "Master, please tell me, what is the use of my Phoenix Gu?"

Old Qiu nodded, and replied, "I look at your face, and it seems that you are emotional. I think you are not young, so I will tell you everything today."

While speaking, he took out a palm-sized pure white porcelain bottle from his sleeve and handed it to Bairan, "You were originally bought back by the City Lord's Mansion, and you and the men and women of the same age used to take the Wangchen Pill I made, forgetting the past. In the past, I only focused on cultivating you to be loyal to Baiyun City. However, I never thought that you would come under my sect later. I considered that you must have hidden secrets when you were brought back to Baiyun City, and you were still young, so you never got rid of the medicine of forgetting dust. Now, you I've grown up, and I've been emotionally disturbed again. I'll give you the antidote to Wangchen Pill, right and wrong, let's think about it after you recall your life and past."

After Bairan took the medicine bottle, Qiulao stood up and patted Bairan's shoulder lightly, with a somewhat lonely and concerned expression, "Ye Gucheng treated you very kindly, which is different from ordinary people. When I was a teacher, I was It was because of this that I handed you over to him. But I didn’t want the two of you to face each other day and night..."

"Ah?" Bairan looked at Old Qiu with a puzzled face, not understanding the meaning of what he said, but he seemed to be able to grasp something vaguely from those words.It seemed that there was a layer of fog covering Benxin, making her not see clearly. "Ye Gucheng and I...is there something wrong...Master?"

Old Qiu said, "You are a transparent person, but the word love has been the most difficult to see through since ancient times. As a teacher, I don't know what happened between you and Ye Gucheng, and I don't know what the gap between the two of you is. But as a teacher, I can give you A reminder. The Phoenix Gu is only given to one person in a lifetime, think about it carefully, are you willing to give it to Ye Gucheng? Figured it out, any barriers are not a problem."

Afterwards, Qiulao was always cold, with a slight smile showing on his expressionless face, "No matter what, you are always the teacher's disciple. I only hope that you don't have to follow in the footsteps of the teacher and your teacher's wife."

After Qiu Lao finished speaking, Bai Ran, who was holding a porcelain vase in his hand, stood there at a loss, while he leaned on a wooden crutch and floated off the roof.

The sunset is on the west mountain, and the night is approaching.Seeing the last rays of the setting sun disappear, Bai Ran clenched the porcelain vase in his hand, unable to resist the temptation to restore his memory after all.Back in his own room, he poured out the only yellow-brown pill from the bottle and swallowed it in one gulp.

After taking the antidote, I didn't feel anything.After sitting on the bed for about a stick of incense, I gradually felt tired, but after a few breaths, I couldn't help but lay down and fell into a lethargic sleep.

Bairan, who had already fallen asleep, never saw that after her breathing became stable, a white shadow quietly entered her room.Snowy face in white clothes, with cold stars hidden in eyes.It was Ye Gucheng who hadn't talked to Bairan for a few days.

But Ye Gucheng blew out the candle, sat by the window of Bairan in the darkness, stared at the beautiful silhouette in the darkness, and never looked away for a long time.In such a dark night, naturally no one would see it. The always cold and unkind city lord Baiyun had completely dissipated his coldness at this moment, and his gaze was full of inexplicable complexity.

In the dark, there is a faint sigh, infinite nostalgia, infinite tenderness...
