==================

Qianyuan Hall, South Study Room.

Xiao Luo was reviewing the memorial in front of the case by the window, but there was no one serving him, and the entire Qianyuan Hall was also empty, which looked very unusual.

But Xiao Luo's expression was very natural.

Naturally, she had intentions to send away the people in the palace.

A moment later, the light and shadow outside the South Study Room flickered slightly, and a long and slender figure walked in and came straight to Xiao Luo.

Gu Jing stood quietly in front of the case, watching from top to bottom the empress who had ruled the Donghuang Dynasty for nearly a thousand years. The expression on her face fell in the half-light shadow, which seemed a little unpredictable.

And the empress didn't stop writing until then, raised her head and nodded slightly to Gu Jing, and said: "Long time no see."

Gu Jing was slightly taken aback, then her face softened, and there was a clear meaning in her eyes.

"You know me." He said with certainty in his tone.

During this month's time together, the empress did not hide anything, and Gu Jing naturally saw something unusual in it.

He and this Empress Donghuang should have known each other.

And he and Xiao Chongyan, or Xiao Chongyan's former identity, should also know each other.

And the past of their acquaintance, the various experiences they had with each other must all be in that period - the memory lost by Gu Jing.

"It seems that you also know that you have lost part of your memory, don't you?" Seeing Gu Jing's reaction, the empress made a judgment easily, "He doesn't know many things."

"Yes, and I now confirm that my missing memory is in the Canglan Continent." Gu Jing knew that the "he" the empress said referred to Xiao Chongyan, so he only paused for a moment, and then asked, "Who used to be?" Did I leave any words?"

The empress nodded slightly, and said, "There are only four words, let nature take its course."

After Gu Jing heard these four words, she seemed to understand something suddenly, with a slight smile on the corner of her mouth, and said softly like a sigh: "That's fine."

"That being the case, then I will trust you."

Xiao Luo looked at the young man in front of him whose figure and appearance were completely different from before, feeling a little emotional and also a little relieved.

800 years ago, there was also a person who stood in front of her and said the same sentence.

"That's fine, even if you forget everything, that's fine."

The man was dressed in white clothes and stood on the top of the mountain with his hands behind his back, looking at the nine heavens in the distance.

The saint who has always sat high in the clouds, guarded the whole continent, and never had any selfishness, but his eyes are determined, and he wants to fight against the whole world with his own strength——

"Because I will definitely go to him again."

"This time, I will never let him be alone again."

For one person only.



"This is where the six ministers' offices are located. Opposite is the Hanlin Academy. Walk along this Sanyuan Lane to the end. On the other side of the East Lake is the monastic school of the Donghuang official family..."

Xiao Chongyan and Gu Jing were walking on Zhuque Avenue in front of the imperial palace. Hearing Gu Jing point out the buildings on both sides of the street for him, he felt a little dazed for a moment.

Although he did not live in Donghuang Imperial City for a long time, it was only six or seven years, and he rarely went out of the palace when he was young. He was indeed very strange to the Imperial City, and he didn't know most of what Gu Jing said.

"...These places are inconspicuous at first glance, but they are very important in the imperial city, because each of them is a node of the imperial city formation..."

But Gu Jing should have never been here before, but only lived here for a month, how could he be so familiar?

"The Donghuang Dynasty paid more attention to the elegance of literati, and pursued the elegance of celebrities, so the imperial city's large array was hidden and not visible, and the layout was extremely exquisite. But Zhongzhou is different, Zhongzhou—"

Gu Jing's expression was full of admiration, and he obviously praised the formation of Donghuang Imperial City, but after he said the word "Zhongzhou" naturally, he suddenly stopped speaking, and at the same time doubts arose in his heart, the moment before his eyes Many blurry images flashed by.

In those pictures, he saw that another imperial city was somewhat similar to Donghuang Imperial City, but it was very different upon closer inspection.

In that same majestic imperial city, there is a five-clawed golden dragon lying at the foot of the Great Wall. Twelve dragon pillars go all the way from the street in front of the imperial city. pattern.

Extremely brilliant, more solemn.

Gu Jing tried her best to see the appearance of the imperial city clearly, but in the next moment, a picture flashed before her eyes again, and it was the city gate——

"Gu Jing, I want that."

At this time, Xiao Chongyan's voice suddenly came from beside him, and Gu Jing came back to his senses, and saw a handsome young man in white standing by the roadside, staring intently at the goods on the cart, with a serious face and great interest.

The cart was filled with vivid little sugar figures of various shapes. A middle-aged man in bunt was flying up and down with his fingers flexibly, and in a short while he made a little Jingba with his head held high.

"What does this young man want?"

Seeing Xiao Chongyan's serious appearance, the vendor immediately laughed and said, "I can make you whatever you want!"

Xiao Chongyan thought for a moment, looked back at Gu Jing, and said to the vendor in a serious manner: "I want two little sugar figurines, one made like me, and the other..."

He pointed to Gu Jing and said, "Make it like him."

"okay!"

But in a short time, the two sugar figurines were ready. Xiao Chongyan held them in his hands from left to right, walked to Gu Jing's side, handed out the sugar figurine in his right hand as a matter of course, and said solemnly: "I Please."

Gu Jing looked at the square inch belonging to Xiao Chongyan in Xiao Chongyan's hand, stretched out his hand to take it without saying a word, and was about to look down, when a chaotic scene flashed before his eyes again.

In those pictures, there is a six or seven-year-old boy in white clothes, who is ice-snow-cute and beautiful, like Xiao Chongyan, who likes to buy sugar figurines in the market, and also likes to make sugar figurines into his own appearance, holding them in his hand Look at it but don't take a bite.

That child was also frail and sickly since he was a child, and he was distressed, but he was born with a ruthless nature and was suitable for cultivation.

Gu Jing looked at Xiao Chongyan who was holding up the sugar figurine in front of her, looking around, and strolling slowly, and always felt that if the child in the picture grew up, he would be like him.

Equally astonishingly talented, equally graceful.

Of course, Xiao Chongyan knew nothing about what Gu Jing was thinking.

He just held the sugar figure in his hand, and unconsciously remembered the past.

Thousands of years ago, when I was still cultivating in Liuyun Peak, whenever my senior brother took him down the mountain, he would buy two sugar figurines for him at the market, one made in his own image and the other in his senior brother's.

And he will definitely hold the sugar figure in the shape of the senior brother, and then give the sugar figure made in his own shape to the senior brother——

Xiao Chongyan's footsteps paused slightly, and he suddenly froze, thinking that the scene in front of him is not exactly the same as before?

But Gu Jing and senior brother...

The two of them clearly have different identities, looks, personalities, and habits of moves, and even Gu Jing doesn't know how to use a sword at all.

But Xiao Chongyan's swordsmanship was taught by his senior brother himself.

But these two completely different people have too many similarities in many small places.

For example, those two candied dates, such as this pair of sugar figurines, and Gu Jing always happens to know her preferences everywhere, and the two of them have always had a very good understanding.

From the beginning when the two met, he had an inexplicable closeness and absolute trust in Gu Jing.

This is natural and unreserved, for Xiao Chongyan, who has experienced the life-and-death game of intrigue and deceit in the Northland, and Liuyunding is the enemy of the world——

It is the biggest unusual.

……

……

"Whoa."

There was the sound of gurgling water coming from the distant night, and it became clearer and clearer. Among them, there was a sudden noise of people, which seemed to be three points more lively than Zhuque Avenue.

Xiao Chongyan came back to his senses and found that the two of them had walked to the East Lake without knowing it.

There are people releasing river lanterns everywhere by the lake—this is the custom of the Donghuang Dynasty. On the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, people light a river lantern with their own hands, write down their wishes, and then place the river lantern on the water of East Lake to let it go. flow down.

If the river lantern can float to the other end of the East Lake smoothly, it means that the wish in the heart will be realized smoothly. If it capsizes in the middle of the drift, then it doesn't matter. There is a saying in Canglan that "everything is hard to come by". After hardships, we will finally reach the other shore.

This kind of expectation and longing for the future, this kind of optimistic and kind-hearted attitude towards the world, is the elegant appearance of celebrities that Donghuang people have always admired, which is extremely beautiful and elegant.

"Hey, let me tell you...there is another story about the Donghuang River Lantern! It is said that if two people who love each other set down the river lantern on the East Lake..."

At this moment, there were three or five playful and laughing girls beside the two of them talking together, one of them spoke in a low voice mysteriously, and was immediately covered by a burst of shy and infinite laughter, only a little voice was faintly revealed Come.

"...If their river lanterns can finally gather together at the other end of the East Lake, it will be hand in hand and return together, and they will have white heads in the end. But what a perfect meaning!"

……

……

Xiao Chongyan naturally never let the river lantern go, and he is not interested in it. On the contrary, he thinks these rumors are very inexplicable and unreasonable.

He passed through the crowd with an indifferent face, and was trying to find a quieter way, but suddenly felt someone approaching from behind, and then Gu Jing's voice came clearly and faintly.

"It's rare to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival in Donghuang, why don't we go to set off river lanterns?"

Gu Jing wants to release river lanterns?

Xiao Chongyan was a little strange. He looked behind him and saw Gu Jing's serious expression, as if he had made a decision after careful consideration, so he naturally thought that Gu Jing wanted to let himself live a complete Mid-Autumn Festival without leaving any regrets.

In the past two lifetimes, he has always been the best at rejecting others, but he was the only exception to them. Since Gu Jing hoped so, Xiao Chongyan then turned around and headed towards the lake, and nodded seriously.

"Okay, then let's put the river lanterns together."

At this time, the two had already walked far away from the lakeside where the river lanterns were placed, and those who came to meet them all followed the lakeshore all the way downstream, crowded and crowded, and it was a bit difficult to walk.

Xiao Chongyan was not willing to use spiritual power to disperse the crowd to open the way, and was frowning, when a warm heat suddenly fell on his shoulders the next moment.

Gu Jing approached him at some point, hugged his shoulders, and exerted a little force, like a silent guarantee.

—I am with you.

So Xiao Chongyan's brows gradually relaxed, and a relaxed smile appeared in his eyes.

"go?"

"Walk."

Among the crowd, two people went against the current and walked together.

……

……

After a while, the two stood by the lake, each holding a river lantern in their hands.

Xiao Chongyan looked to the side and saw that Gu Jing was concentrating on writing his wish in the river lantern with spiritual power, looking extremely solemn.

He thought for a while, and using sword energy as a pen, he wrote two strokes in the river lantern one after another. He put down the river lantern at the same time as Gu Jing, watching them drifting all the way downstream.

The two also got up together and walked down the lakeshore, according to the ceremony, they were going to the other end of the East Lake.

It's just that there were too many people putting up lanterns in the East Lake that night, and the group of walkers on the Yishui River by the lake got bigger and bigger. Halfway through the walk, just when they encountered the narrowest section of the road, Xiao Chongyan slowed down a bit, and he was caught by Gu Jing. The crowd broke up, and under the coercion of the crowd, they were led across the bridge to the other side of the East Lake.

As a result, the two of them were scattered on both sides of the East Lake, and they could meet at the end of the lake only when they walked to the end.

On the other side of the lake, Gu Jing's figure was completely submerged in the crowd, and there was no heart-to-heart words between the two, but Xiao Chongyan was convinced of the choice Gu Jing would make.

So he retracted his gaze and continued forward.

That being the case, then go down.

As he walked, he thought about the two lines of words that he had just left on the river lantern, and his mind became more and more peaceful.

As far as Xiao Chongyan is concerned, self-cultivation is a matter of asking his heart everywhere. He had a glimpse of Qin Keran's mind in Shen Tie Prison earlier, which made him feel a little bit, but this river lamp drop was done inadvertently, but he hit it by mistake. Let him be more clear about his own mind.

The clearer the mind, the calmer the state of mind, the further the state of mind naturally, Xiao Chongyan closed his eyes, but his mind moved slightly, and then he walked to the other side of the East Lake in one step, silently, and did not disturb the people around him at all.

Every movement and stillness, all in one thought, this is the ultimate emptiness.

Just a night trip to Donghuang and the Lantern River, Xiao Chongyan easily passed from the realm of knowledge to the realm of emptiness, and crossed a whole big realm.

He calmed down, then opened his eyes, and saw Gu Jing standing in front of him, looking towards him, with a faint smile in his eyes, obviously sensing that his realm had improved.

The two stood side by side by the lake, and in front of them was a glimmer of light floating on the surface of the East Lake. It was thousands of river lanterns crossing the East Lake for ten miles, and finally reached the lake.

Among the thousands of flickering light spots, two river lanterns seem to be particularly conspicuous.

At first they were separated on both sides of the lake, wobbly and far away, but then they got closer and closer unknowingly, and finally they turned and gradually gathered together, clinging to each other and staggering to the riverside.

There are eight characters on each of the two lamps.

One of the lamps reads "Prosperity and Peace, Wishes Come True", the first four words were written in one stroke, as if without thinking, but the last four words were written with great gravity, as if they were written with great solemnity.

And in the center of the other lamp, there are four characters "Dezheng Dao", and next to those four characters, there is a newer ink mark, which says "The world is safe", as if it was added later.

That was the river lantern that Gu Jing and Xiao Chongyan put down.

Across a distance of several thousand meters, they rise at the same time and arrive at the same time. They were separated from each other halfway, but finally converged.

"I've heard that there are not a few pairs of East Lake river lanterns that can go all the way to the end. But if a pair of river lanterns are separated halfway, they can still meet together in the end—"

The low-pitched laughter came from the crowd, and those girls who were discussing the rumors of the river lantern covered their mouths and laughed lightly, and their eyes were full of infinite light when they looked at each other.

Someone gurgled with the running water and said in a manly voice.

"There are different roads to the road, but they can lead to the same goal in the end.

"Departing from each other, we can still go hand in hand.

……

......"

Among the crowd, someone sighed with longing and envy: "That is really... a marriage like a fairy!"



This night is the Mid-Autumn Festival in the Canglan Continent. Lanterns are hung up all over the human race, and families get together to enjoy the bright moon.

But in the north, where the Mid-Autumn Festival has never been, the blood moon is still half-disappeared, the other side of the Shiwan Mountain is silent, and the depths of the night gradually spread a seemingly endless bloody smell.

Shi Shiran, a female cultivator in Tsing Yi, stepped over the gate of the border city, purple magic lines in her eyes were spinning rapidly, she stepped into the gate of the city, turned around and looked, her delicate and beautiful face was stained with a strange blood red.

Viscous blood dripped from the corner of her clothes, all the way to the gate of the city, within a short distance of dozens of steps, corpses were scattered all over the field.

Xiuhe looked at the palm with a smile, and casually licked her fingertips.

In her hand, she held a heart that was still beating!

The flamboyant but also extremely treacherous demon girl smiled softly, opened her mouth to bite off the heart in her palm, and sighed with some disgust, with a regretful expression on her face.

"It's such a pity that I didn't get Qin Keran's heart...a heart below Rank [-] really tastes bad..."

She actually ate that whole heart alive!

"After so many years, there are only this group of trash left in the Northland?"

Under the demon girl's feet was a head with eyes wide open. The neckline was bordered by a scarlet collar, embroidered with an extremely complicated pattern. It was the symbol of the first demon general and the lord of this border city!

A martial artist who was at the pinnacle of one realm had his heart gouged out in the hands of this girl, and he died with regret!

Xiuhe, the demon cultivator who hid her identity and stayed by Qin Keran's side, actually crossed Donghuang Island and reached the northern border of Shiwan Mountain under the pursuit of Qingwu Guards, killing people and crossing the border with extreme arrogance. And so fled into the North—

"Xiao... Chongyan?"

She murmured softly, her tone was extremely gentle and careless, but the meaning in her words was extremely terrifying.

"I didn't expect you to have been hiding your strength...the heart of an immortal, I can't help but look forward to it when I think about it!"

"We will meet soon, Xiao Chongyan."

Xiuhe walked on the ground covered with blood, and the green clothes gradually changed under the bloody printing and dyeing, turning into a deep purple robe.

The purple magic pattern gradually spread from between her pupils, climbed up to her forehead, and a pair of small, purple-black horns grew out.

"Before you become my nourishment... you must live well."
