Jiang Qing

For two whole days.

It has been two full days, and I don't know how many people have been scattered, but there is still no news of Mei Shao.

He seemed to have evaporated from the world, completely disappearing in this world without leaving any trace.

Bai Bingchen had panicked a long time ago, wishing he could take someone to find him, but Ji Pu persuaded them because he was concerned about his body.But seeing Fang Min turned Cangzhou upside down, there was no trace of Mei Shao's whereabouts.

Seeing Bai Bingchen's absent-minded appearance, Fang Min couldn't bear to tell him that he still got nothing, so he poked Ji Pu's arm aside, urging him to go.

Sighing, Ji Pu reluctantly walked into Bai Bingchen's room, and as soon as he opened the door, he met a pair of expectant eyes.

Seeing that Ji Pu didn't speak, Bai Bingchen's lips trembled slightly, and he said softly, "There's still no news?"

He raised his head, the water in his eyes flashed, he stared fixedly at the wall, and refused to say a word.

The remorse and self-blame in his heart had already filled his heart densely in the past two days. Bai Bingchen hated himself for not being able to hold him back. He clearly knew that he might commit self-harm. Why did he hesitate? Why didn't he hold him back? ...If Mei Shao really wanted to die, would she have already...

As soon as he thought of this kind of thought, Bai Bingchen felt that his breathing was not smooth, as if someone strangled his neck in the void, and gradually he couldn't even feel a little air, and his eyes became blurred.

"Bingchen!" Ji Pu realized that something was wrong with him, rushed forward, and patted him on the back twice.Bai Bingchen woke up suddenly, and coughed violently. Under the continuous dry cough, his originally pale face instantly turned red, and the veins around his neck bulged, covered with a thin layer of powder.

He seemed to be addicted, he couldn't control himself after coughing for a long time, his mouth opened for a long time like a dying fish abandoned on the shore, and then he retched, and his stomach convulsed rapidly.

"Bingchen!" Ji Pu couldn't see him like this, so he called out again in great pain, and then a flash of thought flashed through his mind, he pulled Bai Bingchen back, and said eagerly: "The border between Cangzhou and Yunzhou The place is Burial Sword Villa, Mei Shao may be there, may I take you to find him? Don't be like this..."

The originally dim eyes lit up a little light, Bai Bingchen tightly grasped Ji Pu's cuff, as if he had grasped all the hope, his eyes were full of begging.

Patting him on the back to stabilize Bai Bingchen's mood, Ji Pu got up with half his arms around him, and shouted out, "Get the carriage!"

-

The Burial Sword Villa is buried deep in the bottom of the valley, and there is little sunshine all year round. In front of the lonely village is a rocky Jianjian Tomb. Thousands of broken swords have been deeply pierced into the crevices of the rocks. The hilt of Zhitian’s sword has long been eroded Cracks.The valley wind blew, and the sound of the sword echoed quietly, adding a bit of chill to the empty valley.

Behind Zhuangzi is a large barren cemetery. Dozens of tombs are scattered on the knee-high weeds, which are the places where the bones of the owners of the past generations are buried.

Mei Shao was kneeling in front of one of the tombstones, staring blankly at the writing on the tombstone, the tears that had dried up on her face were tight.

He forgot how long he had been kneeling here, as if all his thoughts were on the tomb in front of him, his eyes fixed on the tombstone, on which was engraved "Tomb of the First Teacher Xiao Guiyuan".

Seemingly recalling and gluing memories, he knelt here quietly, his knees had long been unconscious, and his body had become icy cold, but the scenes in his mind were scalding hot.

With the help of letters left to him by his father and master, Mei Shao barely made up the scene of that year.

Meizhou didn't want his youngest son who had never been involved in the court affairs to be involved in this dispute. On the eve of the Cangshan Incident, he wrote two letters, one to the Chen family in Lanzhou, entrusting the head of the Chen family to To prevent Mei Shao from entering the capital, a letter was sent to the Burial Sword Villa.

The letter sent to Xiao Guiyuan clearly stated Meizhou's original intention of planning the Cangshan Incident and the changes in the middle. Please Xiao Guiyuan, if it is a last resort and Mei Shao insists on revenge, please give him this letter and tell him His reasons.

The person who sent the letter said that he was followed by someone on the road. Fortunately, the Burial Sword Villa is located in a remote place, so he managed to get rid of the person behind him. Xiao Guiyuan intuitively felt that the person who followed him was for this letter, so he invited him to come. Cheng Feng, an old friend of Feixianmen.

The Feixian Sect has lived in seclusion for many years and has not been involved in disputes between the rivers and lakes. The disciples of the sect rarely go down the mountain, and Cheng Feng often slips down the mountain to play under an alias because he is the husband of the Feixian Sect's head.

For a good sword, Cheng Feng and Xiao Rugui competed in the martial arts conference, but they still lost to Xiao Rugui, who had become the owner of the villa at that time.

The two just didn't know each other and became friends.The head of Hou Feixian Sect sent someone to arrest Cheng Feng and refused him to go down the mountain at will.At the time of parting, Cheng Feng and Xiao Rugui set a five-year period for the martial arts competition. Every five years, they would come to Buried Sword Villa to learn swordsmanship, but they never won a round against Xiao Guiyuan.

Xiao Guiyuan saw that people wanted to find out the way to enter the Burial Sword Villa, so for the sake of insurance, he entrusted this trust to Cheng Feng and told him the reason.If one day Xiao Guiyuan dies, Cheng Feng will take care of this letter for him, and once Mei Shao returns to the capital, he will entrust this letter to him.

In the first two years when Mei Shao was demoted to Cold City with Li An, her mind was not very clear, and she never contacted Xiao Guiyuan. Later, Mei Shao woke up and knelt outside the Burial Sword Villa for a long time. Mei Shao.

Until Mei Shao, under the alias of Jian Shiliu, wielded the Green Frost Sword and picked out swordsmen all over the six states, and returned to the Burial Sword Villa again to ask the villa to open. Xiao Guiyuan knew that he could not stop him, so he allowed him to stay, intending to tell him the truth about the past.But at this moment, Xiao Guiyuan was murdered in front of the hall. Mei Shao became the owner of the villa by accident, and used the information from Jianjian Villa to gather the truth of the year and plan to return to the capital for revenge.

Since the farewell to Xiao Guiyuan, Cheng Feng has been living in seclusion at Feixianmen, until he got the news that Mei Shao returned to the capital with King Xie En, he came down from the mountain, intending to deliver the letter to him.Unexpectedly, he was chased and killed all the way. Thanks to Feixianmen's lightness skills, he escaped from death again and again, and finally lived up to his old friend's trust in Cangzhou and fulfilled his promise.

After a lapse of six years, the letter finally reached Mei Shao's hands after several people's efforts to preserve it, allowing him to know the truth at the time, but he would rather not know it at this moment.

He remembered seeing Cheng Feng at the Burial Sword Villa when he was young. It was the first year Cheng Feng and Xiao Guiyuan had known each other. Ai was carried by him to swing around in the forest to play, but after Cheng Feng returned to Feixianmen, he also returned to Meifu, and the two never saw each other again.

Long-term memories flooded his mind, but Mei Shao's powerlessness and self-blame became deeper and deeper. After thinking about the joints, he had to blame himself and hate himself.

If he hadn't insisted on revenge, if he hadn't insisted on returning to the capital, none of this would have happened, Master would not have died, and Cheng Bo would not have died, they all died because of him.

Mei Shao felt as if she was trapped in a dark room, unable to struggle or escape, and there was only one thought echoing in her mind: Why wasn't she the one who died?

So many people protect each other with death, but to save their own life, is it worth it?Not worth it at all.

Mei Shao had a strong urge to destroy himself, he wanted to be presumptuous, he wanted to degenerate, he wanted to tell these dead people that he, Mei Shao, was a worthless rascal, a rotten person, not worthy of them at all. Go for such maintenance.

He felt that he was probably crazy, but kneeling in front of the tomb, he could clearly see his soul floating in the sky, screaming helplessly, venting, seeking a little stimulation and relief.

He is a sinner, and he deserves to die in front of the master's monument.

The sound of the wind entering the valley and the alternation of day and night no longer caught his eyes, his eyes had long been gray and black, and his ears were terribly empty.

I am probably going to die, Mei Shao thought in her heart.

Vaguely, it seemed that someone was calling him, like a voice from hell, is it father and the others who came to take him away?

He seemed to be able to see Mei Zhou smiling at himself, and his elder brother also ran over and hugged his shoulders, urging him to go forward, there was a bottomless abyss, but Mei Shao felt unprecedentedly relaxed and relieved.

He reluctantly raised his head, trying to take another look at the world, but it was still gray and black.

Suddenly a gust of wind pierced the emptiness around his ears, and immediately, he was hugged into a warm embrace.

There was a roar in the ears for a while, and time stood still.

The person's body temperature was not high, but it fell on the scalding forehead but it was ironed very tightly. Obviously he had already been unable to move, but Mei Shao could still feel the person hugging him shivering slightly.

"Ah Shao, I'm here, come home with me, okay?"

The soft voice fell vaguely on Mei Shao's ear, he looked at the void in confusion, there seemed to be light flashing in the gray and black.

In this world, there seems to be such a person who wants him to live.
