Sword Spirit became Bai Yueguang after going offline

On Ling Xiao's delicate, unreal face, the brows and eyes were downcast, and the expression was purely cold, but also seemed to have some unspeakable hesitation.

Chu Qing looked up and looked around the beam of light, and said after deliberation: "You... why don't you go back and say goodbye to Xiao Ran, cough, and Qi Ran? I think this passage seems to be quite stable. It won't take long. It shouldn't be a problem to maintain it for a day or two."

"Farewell?" Ling Xiao asked him in a low voice, "Why are you saying goodbye? I'm no longer his Taoist companion."

"..." Chu Qing's teeth were a little sour, but she was also a little relieved.If Ling Xiao really wanted to just leave, it would be impossible to bother with him.

"Don't be angry with Qi Ran, after all, there is the remnant soul of the cloud lamp in that ink cloud," Chu Qing persuaded, trying to pass Ling Xiao a step, "Think about it, if there is no cloud lamp, maybe Qi Ran I have already died in some icy and snowy place, let alone met you, right?"

Ling Xiao was silent for a while, before saying again: "I haven't thought it through yet."

Didn't think about anything?Didn't think about whether to go back and see Qi Ran again?Or, didn't think about whether to just stop flying?

Chu Qing didn't think that Ling Xiao would really give up Ascension for Qi Ran, but it should still be necessary to go back and say goodbye solemnly.

After all... It is not easy to be tempted by Ling Xiao. A person who used to travel alone in the world, although he has many followers, has no friends. Now it is rare to have someone he loves, even if the time of love is as short as With a snap of the fingers, there must be some reluctance.

Chu Qing pondered for a while before saying: "Immortal Ling Xiao, please treat Qi Ran better for the last one or two days! He has a pure heart, and most likely he would rather fulfill you. I'm sorry."

"Oh," Ling Xiao chuckled, "Of course he will choose to fulfill me."

Ling Xiao lowered his eyes, the blood on the foggy white robe still remained, and his chest was also empty.

His fascination with Qi Ran has disappeared. He doesn't know whether Qi Ran's mood is good or bad, and he doesn't know where he is now. Mingming Chaoyin and Qingping have disappeared, and Bai Ye and Bai Shu also Witnessing on the snowy field—why didn't he come to him?

Do you feel that everything has come to an end and there is no need to struggle anymore, or do you not take their two-year relationship seriously?

Ling Xiao's fingers hidden under his wide sleeves curled up, and for the first time, he felt a little hatred for Qi Ran from the bottom of his heart.

He resented that Qi Ran didn't love himself enough.

In Qi Ran's place, even though I am his Taoist companion, I can line up carefully, not to mention Yundeng, Baishu, Shen Songyue and other masters and brothers, I am afraid that I am far inferior to Xiaobai.

Originally, he didn't care about these things. In the final analysis, he is not Qi Ran's ideal partner. If he can get away with Qi Ran, his heart should be satisfied, and...he knows Qi Ran's temperament too well, and he treats his feelings sincerely and slowly. As long as I stay with him long enough and treat him well enough, Qi Ran will definitely love himself more and more, and one day, I will be able to gain equal affection from Qi Ran.

But... no matter how good Ling Xiao is at predicting things, he never expected that the day of ascension would come so early.

On the one hand is the result of his own plan for thousands of years, and on the other hand... is the obsession that he has long been unable to control.

Sure enough, among the hundreds of calamities in the world, the calamity of love is the most difficult to overcome.

In the secret chamber of the New Moon Demon Palace.

Qi Ran crossed his legs and closed his eyes, and the cast copper broad-backed long sword lay flat on his knees, slowly lingering with a pale golden light.

The phantom blue moonlight lotus quietly floated in front of his forehead. After a long time, the outermost petals slowly shattered into spots of light and scattered.

Sweat oozes from Qi Ran's forehead, his brows are furrowed, it is not easy to forge a sword heart, the triple heart and soul state created by the phantom blue moonlight lotus is both an opportunity and a test.

The first stage just passed was the scene of the night when the division gate was destroyed. In the heart-piercing pain, Qi Ran once again chose to believe in that illusory "system" without hesitation.

In the second level, the detoxification in the old warehouse when he reunited with Gu Lingxiao was imagined in front of his eyes.

At that time, Gu Lingxiao had just finished crying, with red eyes, asking him over and over again, if he could stay by his side like a family member?

Just because... after 20 years of being with him day and night, he couldn't bear him, he couldn't leave him.

What did you think of yourself at that time?Through the phantom of Gu Lingxiao in his memory, Qi Ran vaguely recalled his mood at that time.

It seemed that he was first shocked by Gu Lingxiao's tears, and then he was fascinated by the word "relative".

He is too eager to have a loved one, and too eager to be needed by others.

What Gu Lingxiao said——Qi Ran realized later that it was half true and half false. He did not regard himself as a relative, and he wanted to be with him wholeheartedly, but in those words, the reluctance was true. It is true to cherish, and it is also true to want to be good to yourself.

Once again, Qi Ran asked himself, if there was another chance, knowing that Gu Lingxiao would be promoted in two years, would he refuse Gu Lingxiao's proposal to go with him at the beginning, and go his own way? life?

……

The phantom of Gu Lingxiao in front of him was still repeating, asking himself: Can I stay by his side like a family member?

Qi Ran slowly replied with one word: Good.

Even if it is only two years, he will choose to repeat the same mistakes, just because... Gu Lingxiao is worth it.

The phantom dissipated.

Qi Ran stood quietly on the spot, watching the phantom that followed, the night when he and Gu Lingxiao forged the spiritual contract of the Taoist couple appeared.

It was the winter solstice night when the first snow fell in the winter two years ago.

Outside the courtyard, Chu Qing seemed to be playing with Xiao Bai in the snow. The child had long since lost his fear of snow, and bursts of cheerful laughter could be heard from afar.

In the warm room, with the flickering candles, Gu Lingxiao lowered his head and gently dried his hair bit by bit.

Qi Ran rested on Gu Lingxiao's lap, looked up at him in puzzlement and said, "It's enough to use the formula to dissolve the water directly, why do you need to use a handkerchief to wipe it?"

Gu Lingxiao hooked his lips, showing a faint smile: "Is this uncomfortable?"

Qi Ran blinked his eyes, savored it carefully, and coughed lightly: "...it seems to be okay."

Wiping hair itself is not comfortable, what is comfortable is... I am lying on the lap of the person I like, and the other person treats me extremely tenderly and carefully.

Coupled with the snow floating outside the window, Xiaobai and Chu Qing had a good time, and there is no more joy in life than this.

Qi Ran smiled slyly, looked at Gu Lingxiao, and gently licked his lower lip.

Gu Lingxiao's twinkling eyes suddenly became deep, and he leaned over to kiss Qi Ran's lips, slowly tossing and rubbing.

Qi Ran closed his eyes, raised his hand to brush Gu Lingxiao's chest, and hooked his neck.

They had just been intimate before, and Qi Ran's waist was still a little sore, but as the kiss deepened, he still felt a little dissatisfied after all.

After a while, his lips parted slightly, and Qi Ran heard Gu Lingxiao whispering in his ear: "Xiao Ran, can we conclude the spiritual contract of the Taoist companion first?"

Most of the spiritual deeds for cultivators are only formally established after the ceremony of conjoining the Tao, just as ordinary men and women pay attention to the right marriage, and they have to worship and respect the parents of heaven and earth before they can be considered legitimate.

It's just two men, to Qi Ran, they both have already done that, and it's no big deal to form a spiritual contract in advance.

"Okay," Qi Ran agreed without much thought, "What is the formula of the spirit deed?"

Gu Lingxiao was stunned for a long time before answering him softly: "It's very simple, the instructions are like this—"

Qi Ran's left hand was held by Gu Lingxiao, and after the ten fingers were tightly interlocked, the heat in the palm rose, and the heartbeats of the two seemed to be gradually synchronized.

"Xiao Ran, you open your sea of ​​consciousness to me, I..." Gu Lingxiao pressed his forehead against Qi Ran, and penetrated into his consciousness.

Qi Ran couldn't help sobbing, Gu Lingxiao's spiritual consciousness was icy cold, like a cool stream soaking into his own sea of ​​consciousness, but he could use this to vaguely perceive the anxiety and joy in Gu Lingxiao's emotions, Like a child cautiously walking into a paradise.

The heartbeat in the chest became more and more violent. Qi Ran was only a little sore in the waist at first, but now he was a little intoxicated and confused. Let Gu Lingxiao's fingers scratch the front of his clothes, and the beating fingertips seemed to be following his meridians. The path of the Ambivalence/Happiness Art is advancing.

An indescribable sense of joy gushed out from the depths of the sea of ​​consciousness, mixed with Gu Lingxiao's heartbeat and joy that resonated with him, and doubled the kuaigan one by one.

Qi Ran never thought that he could get such a wonderful feeling after forming a spiritual deed of a Taoist companion.

However, the phantom of that day... has already cast a haze at this moment.

Gu Lingxiao's divine consciousness still lingered quietly in his sea of ​​consciousness, but the coldness was worse than before, and the vague emotions were also sharp and extreme.

At this time, he should have recovered his memory, right?

Qi Ran thought in his heart, is he angry because he took Xuanyuanjian away, or is he still disappointed because Mo Yun gave him up just now?

And the phantom in front of him was still asking him gently: "Xiao Ran, can we conclude the spiritual contract of the Taoist companion first?"

If...knowing that there will be today, would he still run all the way on this dead end road?

Qi Ran closed his eyes and said softly, "Okay."

Now that he has accepted Gu Lingxiao's unreserved love, what else does he need to keep?

The phantom dissipated again.

The triple heart soul robbery is intended to ask the heart.

The sword heart is not the sword intent, the sword intent can be borrowed to sing the heart, just like a magnificent chapter written by a literati, but the sword heart is the pursuit and interrogation of the fate of the sword repairer in his life.

Shen Songyue's sword heart used to represent a wanton and unrestrained happy life, but he resolutely gave it up together with the former spirit sword on the night when the master's gate was destroyed.

As for Qi Ran, the triple heart and soul robbery, except for the night when the master's gate was destroyed, the remaining two scenes were actually Gu Lingxiao.

Qi Ran smiled wryly in his heart, this questioning was like asking for love.

Ask him about the depth of his love for Gu Lingxiao, and ask him whether he regrets the past or is obsessed with Gu Lingxiao.

Qi Ran actually doesn't want to be a so-called lover.

He still remembers that when Bai Shu and Bai Ye reminded him of Gu Lingxiao's ascension, he also regarded this Kaner as extremely free and easy, thinking that if there is wine today, he will be drunk today; later when he was with Gu Lingxiao, he couldn't help being confused again. Ask Shen Songyue why there are always so many regrets in life, Shen Songyue told him, just fight until the last moment and do your best.

But, now Qi Ran doesn't even know how far he should fight.

He didn't know that Gu Lingxiao, after recovering Southwind's memory, still had some affection for him, and he didn't know whether Gu Lingxiao would regard him as a drag and just waited to send him away as soon as possible.

Precisely because this is his deepest confusion at the moment, that's why... the phantom blue moonlight lotus asked him about his "love" twice.

Qi Ran knew that he had to make a choice.

The last petal on the phantom blue moonlight lotus also slowly drifted away, and Qi Ran slowly opened his eyes.

The upright Shen Songyue immediately looked at him, and the moment she met her eyes, Shen Songyue showed a gratified smile: "Congratulations, Xiao Ran."

Qi Ran avoided Shen Songyue's eyes, pursed his lips and said softly: "Little senior brother, let's go out quickly, Gu Lingxiao...he seems to be arriving soon."

Shen Songyue didn't speak, and raised her hand to rub Qi Ran's hair: "Silly boy, just go the way you want to go. If the master is still there, you should be scolded when you choose to change back to Mo Yun."

A sense of astringency welled up in the corners of Qi Ran's eyes, he bit his lips tightly, unable to speak.

Ji Zhaohan's impatient voice sounded outside the secret room: "Come out as soon as you are done! Gu Lingxiao will be here soon!"

Shen Songyue seems to have asked Ji Zhaohan to watch the wind outside.

Qi Ran stood up, put away the Xuanyuan Sword again, and just stepped out of the secret room, the familiar misty white figure appeared at the door.

In the night, he stood under the lantern and looked at them, his still silhouette was still tall and slender, without any change.

But the temperament is even more indifferent, the deep eyes are like the frozen snowfield of the ages, empty and lonely, only the faint light reflected by the little lights flickers silently.

Qi Ran looked at him, walked up to him step by step, raised his head slightly and asked: "...how long can you stay?"

The corner of the man's lips curled up inexplicably, and his voice was low and hoarse: "From now on, there are still about 24 hours."

"Okay," Qi Ran nodded lightly, "Then let's hold the Taoism Grand Ceremony tomorrow, okay?"

The man said lightly, "Yes."

"Then I'll send an invitation card right now...Little brother——" Qi Ran turned his head and smiled at Shen Songyue, "I'm going to trouble you again, I'm afraid the formation of Taiping Sword Sect needs to add an identification function, so as not to Tomorrow, there will be too many people with miscellaneous eyes, and there will be some troubles for no reason."

Shen Songyue nodded to him.

Gu Lingxiao still didn't say a word, in fact... With the terrifying aura around him, there is no better cultivation base in the world than this, so why should we worry about people who are too distracted?

But he acted like it had nothing to do with him and didn't say anything.

Qi Ran didn't say much anymore, he stepped over the threshold and passed him.

Ling Xiao stood still on the spot for a few breaths, and his figure faded away in a blink of an eye.

As soon as the two of them disappeared, Shen Songyue sighed softly, turned her head and cupped her hands to Ji Zhaohan and said, "Thank you, Demon Lord Zhaohan, for coming in time, I've tired you again this time."

Sitting by the tea table, Ji Zhaohan stared at him with a sullen face: "Are you really going to strengthen the formation for your beloved little brother with your own hands?"

Beloved little junior brother?Shen Songyue was slightly taken aback. After almost two years, Ji Zhao brought up this issue again in a cold manner, which made him a little unresponsive for a while.

Shen Songyue recalled carefully, at the beginning she was right to make a mistake and Ji Zhaohan still misunderstood it, so at this time... it seems that there is no need for additional explanation.

"...I'm ready to go now," Shen Songyue deliberately avoided answering, and said very calmly, "Mozun Zhaohan, if you don't mind, you can go with me, and Xiao Ran will definitely send you an invitation post."

"I'm going? What am I going to do?!" Ji Zhaohan waved his hand violently and overturned the tea table at hand.

"Clatter——" The cup shattered and the table was turned over, and the hot tea splashed all over the floor.

Shen Songyue let out a sigh of relief in her heart.

Just continue to make mistakes, he shouldn't have dragged him down again and again.

"I'm sorry," Shen Songyue apologized to Ji Zhaohan again, "I called you here again today, but you are the only master in the fusion period by my side. I... shouldn't bother you repeatedly, and I will definitely not do this again in the future It's done."

"Won't you act like this again?" Ji Zhaohan gritted his teeth and said, "You mean, you won't need me anymore, right?"

"Never dared to say 'use'." Shen Songyue lowered her head and raised her hand to turn the residue on the ground into fly ash. "It was I who had the audacity to ask you to help me. I will definitely abide by my propriety in the future and will not bother you again."

"Okay! Okay! I came here in a hurry, and I listened to you comforting each other outside the secret room, and even guarded the door for you! As a result, I only mentioned Qi Ran's Daoist ceremony, you Are you getting angry? Are you going to break up with me?" Ji Zhaohan said with red eyes, "Okay! Do it! It's up to you to do what you want to do for your beloved little brother! Go as you want! "

Shen Songyue was speechless for a while, and after a long silence, she said: "Ji Zhaohan, I really... don't deserve your grievances to this extent, the world is so big, there are so many people who admire you, I really don't have the mood to love you, you—— "

"No mood for love?" Ji Zhaohan said with a cold smile, "Shen Songyue, you dare to swear to the sky, after Gu Lingxiao's ascension, can you keep holding back your little brother?"

Shen Songyue frowned when she heard this, and her voice became a bit cold, "What nonsense are you talking about? They will hold a Dao Dao Ceremony tomorrow, even if there is some dispute now, it will be fine after... tomorrow."

"Even if tomorrow is better, it's just the difference between reluctantly saying goodbye and walking slowly. Gu Lingxiao will leave after all, but Qi Ran will not be able to leave after all," Ji Zhaohan said, his eyes getting redder and redder , He stood up with the armrest of the chair, walked slowly in front of Shen Songyue, and said word by word, "Shen Songyue, tell me honestly, you are in a hurry to end me, are you afraid that I will miss your good deed?"

Shen Songyue closed her eyes, and when she opened her eyes, there was only coldness in her eyes, "You can say yes, and guess as you like. Ji Zhaohan, you are my benefactor and friend, and there is nothing between us." It’s endless, if you need to push me for something, I will be there anytime.”

"Okay! Great love!" Ji Zhaohan's chest heaved violently, "Then I will congratulate you in advance! Your little junior brother is not suspicious of you at all, and it will only be a matter of time before you succeed—and I wish you a hundred years Good marriage, grow old together!"

"Did you finish?" Shen Songyue looked at Ji Zhaohan's red eyes, suppressed the vague unbearable feeling in her heart, and said indifferently, "If there is nothing else, then I will set off."

"You can leave if you want, can I keep you?" Ji Zhaohan's voice was hoarse, "Don't worry, I know myself, but I'm just a friend of yours, how can I disturb your good things? I'm fine. I will come here to hang around, since we are friends, if you want to find me... I will never refuse from now on."

After all, he was still unwilling to accept Shen Songyue's "break".

Even at this moment, he seemed to know that he was completely hopeless.

"Ji Zhaohan—" Shen Songyue couldn't hold back, and slightly raised her voice, "You really don't have to do this—"

But Ji Zhaohan missed his gaze, walked past him, and only said hoarsely, "Shen Songyue, if you can really let go, why don't you try it yourself in the past two years?"

Shen Songyue thought it was ridiculous, but when he thought about it carefully, he found it hard to refute.

It's absurd, but just now... didn't he still assume that Gu Lingxiao would stay for Qi Ran?

He is clearly aware of how ecstasy the word "love" is, so... he is determined to seal his heart and never love, and never wants to be contaminated.

When Ji Zhaohan and Shen Songyue left, a misty white figure slowly emerged from the pitch-black hall.

He sat alone in the empty main hall, there was no moonlight outside the door, only the lantern outside the window was shaking, pulling out a long dim light and shadow.

"Okay..." He sighed softly.

Just now he wanted to leave, but after he disappeared, he didn't know where he could go. When he was in a daze, he heard the dispute between Ji Zhaohan and Shen Songyue.

The author has something to say:
