smile to heart

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

At the backlight of the palace gate, with a cold shout, a group of banquet guests looked back, filled with fear, they got up one after another, and saluted noisily: "Welcome to the Immortal Venerable."

Xi Yan stayed where he was, startled and frightened, he didn't know that Luo Qingchen would wake up at this moment, he obviously took enough medicine to make people fall asleep for many days.Now that he miscalculated, the treacherous scheme did not succeed, but he would lose Luo Qingchen's trust first. He lowered his eyes guiltyly, not daring to face such a situation again.

The hall became quiet, Luo Qingchen took a deep look at Mu Xi, and then walked to Xi Yan's side step by step, every step was extremely slow as if he was holding back his anger.

The man had already walked in front of him, but before Xi Yan could slander and explain, Luo Qingchen quickly raised his palm and raised it over his head.Immediately, Xi Yan's heart was devastated, he was sluggish in place, hopelessly closed his eyes, and waited for the palm that might kill him.

"boom--"

There was a cracking sound of the table board, and the table full of melons and fruits and nectar was immediately in a mess, powder flying around, and even the bead curtain decorated on one side was broken into countless pieces, falling into corners where there was no light in all directions.

Everyone was silent, and it was even more strange. Before Xi Yan said that Luo Qingchen was ill, the banquet would be empty-handed, but now they saw him coming in a good way, but he was so angry, it was really impermanent, everyone raised their hearts , I am afraid that if I am not careful, it will become a Hongmen banquet with no return.

Luo Qingchen had no intention of understanding the views of these people, and said coldly: "Give it to him!"

Xi Yan acted as if he hadn't heard of it, and was unwilling to stay where he was, with his eyes fixed on the ground absentmindedly.

Luo Qingchen was even more furious, shouting: "I told you to give him the book! Are you deaf?"

The expression under the mask was stiff and stiff, Xi Yan gritted his teeth, and glared at Mu Xi and the others resentfully from the corner of his eye. Unwilling to be reconciled, he threw the medical book on the ground very meanly, and turned around with a cold snort.

Seeing this, Mu Xi hurriedly picked up the books on the floor, wiped them clean, and handed them to Mu Yun with great care. Then, she helped Mu Yin and mixed with him, who was weak, and turned to leave.

"stop."

A shout came from behind, and Mu Xi clenched her palms tightly, as if she had come to an end.

Luo Qingchen came calmly, stood in front of Mu Xi, looked him straight: "They can leave, but you must stay."

Mu Yin panicked for a moment, and hurriedly shouted: "Cousin... I want to go back together."

Seeing her disturbing Mu Xi's decision, Luo Qingchen looked a little displeased, waved his hand lightly, and sent someone to separate the two of them, leaving himself and Mu Xi alone in the corridor outside the palace gate.

Mu Xi's eyes trembled, she thought for a moment, then compromised and said, "Okay. But I still have a few words to say to them."

Luo Qingchen gently pulled the corner of his lower lip, stood silently to one side, and backed away from the road, with an expression of taking it easy.

Seeing Mu Xi approaching calmly, Mu Yin and the two relaxed their worries a little, and were just about to be happy, but they heard him say: "Let's... let's bid farewell."

"Brother, won't brother go home with us?"

Mu Yun grasped the Chinese medicine book in his hand, with a rare flustered look on his face, nervously waiting for Mu Xi's answer.

Shaking her head lightly, Mu Xi stepped forward with a smile, and said in relief: "Xiao Yun, brother, I hope you can think more about yourself in the future. There are too many in this world, too many...it's not worth it."

"Brother!" Between clenched teeth, a sad cry came out. Mu Yun's eyes were hazy, but he didn't dare to close them and shed tears, and the held hands lost their warmth in vain.

Mu Xi turned to say goodbye to Mu Yin beside her: "A Yin, goodbye."

"No!" Mu Yin cried and shook her head, chasing him, "Don't go, cousin, you said that we are a family and will never be separated!"

Mu Xi paused from the back, cooled down, and left indifferently.

……

In this way, Mu Xi exchanged nine years of confinement for that medical book, and for the safety of Mu Yin's siblings, in order to repay the Mu family for their many years of upbringing and promotion...

"That's what it is, that's what it is..."

After listening to all the causes and consequences, Qi Zhong murmured blankly with nothing in his eyes.

Mu Yin sneered sarcastically: "Is it that easy?"

Hearing her words, Qi Zhong became even more nervous, raised his eyes in panic, and heard Mu Yin speak clearly, and said emphatically: "There is not a single word in that medical book!"

"What!" Qi Zhong staggered back again, the cold air from the soles of his feet rushed to his heart, and his lips and teeth trembled with anger, "They, how dare they?"

Mu Yin was filled with grief and indignation, and she looked up to the sky and sighed: "Do you think it's Xi Yan's tricks? Do you think the medical sage will trick him into getting a wordless book from heaven?"

"Why don't you think about how many wrong things you did back then? How many people were homeless, how many innocent lives were killed, and almost made Tongjiang never peaceful. Do you think that these crimes will be solved once you die? One person Hating you may be a personal grievance, but the whole world hates you and wants you to die, so what is it?"

"There are no words in the heavenly book, which is the greatest punishment. Because you are alive, the world will not allow it! Heaven and earth will not!"

Mu Yin's eyes were blood red, she gritted her teeth and roared with displeasure in her heart, and every word hit Qi Zhong's heart.

He suddenly realized that the sum of all malice is the greatest invisible curse, which can suppress people and never stand up. If he had known that the scheme he promised to stay true and Li Daitao stiff would have caused such a tragedy, maybe he would have considered it again at that time. two.But now, there is no such thing as if...

"It's just pity that he feels ashamed of you and trusts you to the end. In the past nine years, regardless of our persuasion, he has traveled to Tongjiang over and over again, went door to door to rectify your name, and apologized countless times. He just wants to pay for all your sins. I hope there are words in the scriptures..."

Thinking of the hardships of these years, Mu Yin became more sad, and vomited quickly: "I have never seen him so down and out, the majestic son of the Immortal Mansion, but he is wandering outside all year round, eating and sleeping, and rushing to live and die for an enemy who hates him to the bone."

"Even after he returned to the vulgar world for you, he still persisted in his obsession. A person who never believed in destiny, but believed in those Buddha statues that could not speak. Whenever he had time, he would repent and chant sutras for you in the Buddhist hall, and begged the gods and Buddhas to show their spirits. ...Isn't it ridiculous? People are forced to such a point, and they are still looking for that sliver of hope..."

"Why, why is this..."

Sad tears filled his eyes, Qi finally tried his best, but only felt the numbness of the flesh and the pain of the soul.Those words drilled into his ears word by word, making his eardrums hurt.

Mu Yin felt sore in her heart, memories were like nightmares, every time she thought about it, she would think of Mu Yun and her sufferings over the years, how hard it was to swallow.

"He is willing to kneel down for you, and suffer from stubborn illnesses for the rest of his life; he is willing to sweep away your dignity and be ridiculed by others; he is willing to sacrifice his life for you, desperate to save you back to this world... But, what are you doing?" How can De, make him pay such a price?"

With an intense tone and a burst of sadness, Mu Yin said without hesitation: "Isn't it just the grace of companionship? Isn't it the grace of saving lives? He has done so much, and he paid it off long ago!"

Seeing that the person didn't reply, Mu Yin closed her eyes tiredly, knelt down, and begged with tears in her eyes: "I beg you, don't hurt Mu Yun again, I beg you!"

Qi Zhong's eyes widened. Seeing this shocking scene, his mind suddenly went blank, and he was so dazed that he couldn't organize his words.

But I heard crying and begging: "Woo...you give me back Brother Yun, you give me back my elder brother, you give me back my home! I beg you, please..."

"No, don't do this." Tears were sour, and his tongue seemed to be knotted when he spoke. Qi finally stepped back, and didn't even dare to support Mu Yin who was so emotional. He felt so much pressure and guilt that he was forced to live It's better to die, the heart is cut like a knife.

"Yes... I'm sorry, I'm sorry... I don't know, I don't know... I'm sorry... I'm going, I'm going..."

He uttered these incoherent words in a hurry, fled staggeringly, and ran up the mountain, aimlessly circling on the endless long steps, his head was dizzy, and countless afterimages like fragments flashed before his eyes.

The illusion that was abolished back then is now faintly and proficiently learned.Qi Zhong was powerless to kneel on the stone steps, stroking the steps with his hands, and the moment he lowered his head, the illusion of memories automatically formed in his heart.

The woods are rustling, the wind is desolate, and the moss-colored green steps are covered with branches and leaves. This back road that has not been walked for many years was once stained with blood...

His feet were filled with lead, he couldn't take a step forward, and knelt heavily on the ground, deeply feeling the feeling of Mu Yun kneeling here back then.

His sadness, his helplessness, his guilt, his despair... all turned into sweat dripping from his brow, and he knelt down step by step to wet the stone surface.

After finally getting to the top of the mountain, everyone ridiculed him and made things difficult for the villain.Even losing his close relatives for this, paying such a price, and asking for medical books, there are still no words...

Distressed and weeping, shedding urgently and violently, Qi Zhong prostrated himself on the ground, stroking step by step, regretful and heartbroken.

He climbed up the mountain, rubbing the traces of the past, carefully, rubbing it repeatedly, until the palms of his hands were full of blood...

The bits and pieces of the past, that person's soft voice, that person's friendly smile...all broke out from the depths of his heart. It turned out that he had misunderstood him, and it turned out that he had never forgotten himself.Qi Zhong was heartbroken, and even more distressed, his chest was stuffed with remorse and regret, all intertwined like a net, completely covering his body and mind.

He collapsed on the ground, looked up at the sky, and burst into tears. He couldn't imagine how difficult it would be for Mu Yun to cleanse himself of his sins and atone for his crimes by accumulating virtue and atonement for his crimes.

Back then when the world was so chaotic and everyone was selfish, how many people would look at him for no reason, how many times stubborn people would turn him away, how many people would even speak ill of him and treat him with contempt , what is difficult to do in a peaceful and prosperous age, how much effort does he have to put in...

For the past nine years, he has been in a coma, but he doesn't know how hard it is for his sweetheart to suffer from the wind, frost, rain and snow, loneliness and desolation, and wandering and wandering.

At that time, he, Yuan Qian, Min Zhi, and Fang Yanxiao and others talked and laughed together and traveled around the bottom of the border together. The joy was boundless, and it was a memory worth cherishing for a lifetime.

In the end, it became Mu Yun who walked those roads back and forth hundreds of times alone, touching the scene and hurting his feelings.Recalling the good things in the past, but when he was alone, I am afraid that only he himself knows what it feels like.

The more Qi Zhong thought about it, the more uncomfortable he felt. If nine years passed, the heaven and the earth still refused to show mercy, and the heavenly scriptures were still empty, would he be exhausted from running around until he fell asleep?A person who kills by mistake is actually more guilty than those who kill on purpose.

Back then, I would rather degenerate into a demon to protect the person, but in the end, because of the scars all over my body, my heart collapsed to the point of bursting, and the pain was so severe that my body and soul were separated.Who owed whom in the previous life?I repay your kindness, and you repay my kindness.When will it end?To be happy?

"What did I do wrong? Why is it so unfair? Why..."

In the silent mountain forest, twilight is fading away, only one person is left crying to the sky, but there is no response.
