[Purple yarn] Deep spring flowers bloom by themselves

There was a hint of surprise in Ziying's eyes, but this look was fleeting.He lowered his eyes, and silently took out a pale golden tassel from his arms.Strands of silky silk lay on his slender fingers, full of spiritual light, as if flowing.He stared at it for a moment, then handed it over.Lingsha felt the warmth in her palm, and the sword tassel still carried his body temperature, and the warmth soaked into her chest all the time.Now, she was only one step away from fulfilling her wish, and her heart was surging, wishing she could leave Yujian immediately to complete the last thing.

She smiled and said, "Ziying, thank you. When I finish my work tomorrow, I will return it to you."

She knew that the Nine Dragons Bound Silk Sword Sui would never return, but tomorrow, she could give Ziying a better compensation.

Ziying said: "You don't need to say thank you. It's getting late today, why don't you just spend the night at Qingluan Peak and go down the mountain tomorrow morning."

Lingsha nodded: "Ziying is more thoughtful, I'll ask Sister Liu."

As she spoke, she walked towards the wooden house, and when she entered the house, she looked back, only to see the Ziying blue figure still standing quietly by the stream, with two faint stars covering her shoulders.She remembered that when her soul was taken away by ghost messengers, Yun Tianhe touched her already cold fingers in panic, and repeatedly called "Lingsha", tears streaming down her face.At that time, Ziying stood silently behind him like this, looking at her pale face.He didn't shed tears from beginning to end, but she could feel the deep and heavy sadness.Until her soul had drifted so far away that even Qingluan Peak could not be seen indistinctly, the silent pain still weighed heavily on her heart.Later, when she arrived in the ghost world, she often thought, if they could get together again—no matter when, no matter how long, would he still smile at her like he did on Qingluan Peak?

These memories passed by like flowing water, she thought about it and shouted: "Savage!"

"Sister Lu~~" Yun Tianhe ran over with a smile.

"Savage, do you have a sword?"

"Yes~"

"Can you lend it to me? I'll return it when you're done using it."

"Okay~~"

Yun Tianhe turned around and took down a treasured sword from the wall. The sword was glowing blue, and it was very similar to the original Tianhe sword, but its spiritual power was superior.

"Ziying gave it to me, it's very useful! Mengli said it was beautiful, I know, the swords made by Ziying are very beautiful~~"

Lingsha smiled: "You savage, it is indeed very beautiful. It is a waste of money to give you such a beautiful sword."

After she finished speaking, she tied the sword with her baggage.Yun Tianhe listened carefully, and said in surprise: "Sister Lu, you want to go?"

Lingsha said: "It's not now, it's tomorrow. I'm going down the mountain to do something."

"Ah?! Are you leaving so soon?!"

"Oh, why, don't you think you can't bear me, Savage?"

Yun Tianhe scratched his head: "You...you and Lingsha...it seems..."

"Hmph, so it's because of this! Then I don't care about it! I see, I'd better leave now!"

Yun Tianhe turned around in a hurry: "Sister Lu, don't go! I didn't mean that—"

"I'm joking, what do you take seriously!" Lingsha smiled and waved her hands, seeing that he was still nervous, remembering that he couldn't see, she patted him on the shoulder again and said:

"Tianhe, don't worry, I will definitely come back to see you again."

At that time, the four of us will be able to gather together as before.

The deep night shrouded Qingluan Peak, and there was silence inside and outside the wooden house.Lingsha got up quietly, carried her burden on her back, and came to the door of the house without saying a word.She has always been light on hands and feet, and at this time she was even more cautious, only listening to Yun Tianhe's dream talk intermittently from the next room, and there was a faint light in the corner of the room, thinking that Ziying was meditating there to adjust her breath.

After dinner, while the three of them were not paying attention, she had tampered with the door of the wooden house, but now that she slowly opened it, the door did not creak as usual.She went out, closed the door again, stood by the door and waited for a while, seeing that no one was awakened inside, she quickly walked to the edge of the cliff, recited a formula, and flew into the night with Yun Tianhe's sword middle.

It was late at night, and a round of bright moon was hanging above the head, its yellow light eclipsed the surrounding stars.The black shadows of the mountains are undulating, and compared with the daytime, it is a quiet and deep scene.Lingsha is blowing the evening wind, and I feel that my chest is as bright as the moonlight, and I am extremely happy.She kept urging the long sword under her feet, and after a while, she came to the sky above a dilapidated mausoleum.

She looked in the air for a while, and seeing nothing unusual, she slowly landed at the entrance of the mausoleum's underground palace.The last time she came here, the tomb had been robbed, and the only valuable thing she found here was the Nine Dragons Bound Silk Sword Tassel, and the original matching sword had disappeared.Today, the mausoleum is even more dilapidated than the last time she saw it. Not only is there grass everywhere, but a big hole has been dug on the side of Baoshan, and the soil on the top has collapsed.

She frowned, raised her sword and entered the passage of the underground palace.The ever-burning lamp in the passage had been damaged long ago, and it was pitch black inside, but with the shining light of the sword, there was no need to use the Five Spirit Immortal Technique.Piles of rubble and broken stone statues can be seen from time to time on the ground, but there is not even a little ghost. It seems that this place has been so deserted that even lonely ghosts don't want to patronize it.

She walked all the way to the bottom of the underground palace, and there were three coffins in the tomb at the end. After being stripped of the silk and satin on his body, he was left there.

She took out the Nine Dragons Bound Silk Sword Tassel from her baggage, weighed it in her hand, and said to the bone, "I'll give it back to you." After speaking, she lightly tossed it, and the sword tassel flashed in mid-air, drawing a golden streak The arc fell on the pile of bones.The tomb suddenly became brightly lit, and she looked for the light source in surprise, only to find that something in her luggage was emitting strong light.She hurriedly unwrapped the bag, and the light immediately rose into the air, and then weakened for a moment, it turned out to be the Ghost Orb she had been carrying with her all along.

Both the inner and outer layers of the Lingzhu were spinning rapidly, and the ghost fire in the center slowly spread, and finally turned into a green-faced ghost messenger, looking at her from the air and saying:

"The king of Hades has an order: Han Lingsha kept her promise and returned all the treasures that were stolen by her. This king specially allows her to continue her life and return to the sun and restore her mortal body!"

Lingsha smiled and said: "Master Yan Wang is really good, he won't break his promise, thank you, little girl~~"

As soon as she finished speaking, several streaks of white light shot out from the Ghost Orb, surrounding her and lifting her into the air.The fake form dissipated instantly, leaving only her transparent ghost floating in the air.Then, a little bit of reddish light overflowed from the spirit bead and flew into her chest.She felt a little bit of warmth, looked down, and saw that her body was gradually recovering, and she shook her hands, and felt a touch in her palms.She adjusted the mouse bag tied to her arm again, and everything seemed to go back to 100 years ago. She just wanted to fly back to Qingluan Peak immediately, and make Ziying and the others startled.

At this moment, the ghost messenger suddenly asked strangely: "Huh? What's going on here?"

Lingsha looked back, and found that the little red light flying towards her turned in the opposite direction, and flew back towards the ghost pearl. Not only that, some red light that had been integrated into her body also flew out one after another, as if being caught by her. Attracted by the ghost beads, they all moved away from her.Her fingers started to get cold again, and a faint chill surrounded her.

"What's wrong with me?...Why did this happen?!"

The ghost guard stared at her for a while, then looked at the Ghost Orb, and suddenly said: "Little girl! Are you using this bead to continue life and change life and death? If so, the Ghost Orb will use yours." If you want to pay for this person's life with a living being, even if you have an appointment with the King of Hades, it will be impossible to restore your mortal body."

Lingsha stared blankly at it.She could hear every word it said clearly, but she didn't want to think about the meaning of those words.

... She should have thought of it earlier.In front of the Demon Lock Tower, she saved Ziying's life with the magical power of the Ghost Lingzhu.

——Those who rely on this instrument to continue their life and change their life and death must serve themselves as souls and accept this calamity willingly.

She should have thought of it long ago.It's just that after getting along with Ziying, she gradually forgot about it.

Ziying...he is so kind and gentle...as long as we are with him, those painful things can be forgotten...

Everything in front of my eyes slowly blurred and distorted in tears.She closed her eyes for a moment, and two lines of cold tears flowed down her cheeks.

"Since this is the case, if the rescued person is willing to give up his life, can the Ghost Orb restore Lingsha to a mortal body?"

A familiar voice sounded from behind, Lingsha turned around abruptly, and found someone standing under the light of the Lingzhu, with blue hair and bright black eyes, it was Ziying.

"Ziying?! You..."

"...I saw you leaving Yujian in the middle of the night, so I was not at ease, so I followed behind... Unexpectedly, you really..."

Ziying paused, then looked at the ghost messenger again:

"What I just said below, I don't know if it is feasible? I hope you can give me some pointers."

"No!" Lingsha said urgently, "No, no! I don't agree! You can't say anything about returning your life!"

"Lingsha..."

"Murong Ziying! Do you want my hard work to go to waste?!"

Ziying opened her lips and closed them again, her brows were full of pain.After a while, he said in a hoarse voice:

"...Lingsha, I... understand everything."

Lingsha shook her head, trying to smile at him, but tears couldn't stop pouring out:

"Heh... Xiao Ziying, you are trying to be brave again. I know that I am too selfish and only care about my own peace of mind, that's why I make you so sad... But, if I do it all over again, I will still save you... This is my own choice. In one life, there are enough troubles. You must not blame yourself... Do you remember that you promised me to be a happy swordsman?..."

That night, on the top of Kunlun Mountain, under the bright moon, she had said that to Ziying.But now, I want to say the same request again, but I can't say it no matter what.When all efforts are about to go in vain, the dead can still cast aside their troubles, reincarnate, and forget the ties of the past, but the living, do they have to carry the wishes of the dead all the time to live?

What is good for him and how to make him truly happy, she has never hesitated on these issues.But at this moment, if she gradually disappeared in front of Ziying like this, what would happen to him? ...If I knew it would make him sad again, it would be better not to show up in the first place...

Even on Mount Shu, she was never as powerless and desperate as she is now.She covered her face with her hands, shrank her body, let out a small whimper, the surrounding light trembled violently, Ziying wanted to step forward, but was blocked by the white light.

"Lingsha!..."

Then, slowly, that ball of light returned to the ground together with Lingsha, and soon dimmed.Lingsha curled up on the floor, looking at her hands in disbelief.

Ziying immediately squatted down and carefully helped her up.

"...Am I... still alive?" She murmured.

"You are not considered alive, but you are not considered dead either." The ghost messenger who had been silent for a long time finally said.

"……What does it mean?"

The ghost messenger shook his head:

"The Ghost Orb didn't take your life, but you are not alive enough, so you can't be considered a living person. If you stay in Yangjian, I'm afraid there will be a lot of inconvenience."

Lingsha's eyes widened in surprise:

"So... I... I can still stay?!"

The ghost guard sighed and said, "Little girl, you have to think about it. Now that you are neither a human nor a ghost, wandering around the world like a half-human and not a ghost, you must suffer. Now that your sins have been paid , it’s better to go back to the ghost world and reincarnate as soon as possible, maybe you will be happy to meet Lord Yan, and you will be rewarded with a rich family—”

"Okay, Mr. Ghost Messenger, since I can stay, then of course I will! You don't have to persuade me~~" Seeing that things had turned around, Lingsha's face that was still covered with tears suddenly turned With a smile: "However, I still want to thank you. If I hadn't returned all the treasures on my body to their original owners for atonement, I would definitely give you a big gift, so that you can go back to the ghost world in style~ ~"

The ghost messenger saw that she was heartbroken last moment, but now she was full of ecstasy, so he had no choice but to shake his head and sigh: "Come on, come on...Since you insist on staying, I've finished this errand, so you can just do it yourself." , ask yourself to be blessed."

After finishing speaking, a wisp of green smoke rose up, and the ghost messenger and Lingzhu disappeared.

Lingsha wiped the tears from her face, and when she turned her head, she saw Ziying frowning, and asked, "Little Ziying, what are you worrying about?"

Ziying hesitated and said: "I was thinking...that ghost just said..."

"Hey! What does that matter!" Lingsha waved her hands disdainfully and said, "It's just that I occasionally bump into a peach tree branch or something. With you protecting me, there will be no inconvenience~~"

Ziying shook her head slightly: "Lingsha——"

"Okay, if you want to preach, at least you have to wait until we go out to talk about it? It's so gloomy here, it's not a place to talk at all~~"

Ziying said: "Can you stand up?"

Lingsha snorted: "You underestimate me too~~" After saying that, she jumped up and walked towards the outside of the tomb with big strides.But just after she took two steps, she felt a whirlwind, a pain in her knee, and she fell to her knees.

"Lingsha?!"

Ziying's voice was vague, as if it came from a far away place.She had nowhere to rely, so she could only grab a warm arm, and immediately leaned towards it.

"I'm fine, just a little dizzy... When I first came out of the ghost world, I felt this way..."

Ziying silently supported her.After a while, I heard her say again:

"Ziying, take me out, it's so cold in here..."

Ziying said: "...I'm sorry." After speaking, she hugged her.

The two left the cemetery, Ziying found a clean place to put Lingsha down, chanted a flame spell, and lit a fire.Although the fire was warm, Lingsha felt dissatisfied with losing the previous heat source, so she said to him: "Ziying, come here~"

Ziying was not far away, putting some items on her body that had the effect of exorcising ghosts and evil spirits into the sword case. When she heard her speak, she put the sword case and came over.

"Sit down~" Lingsha patted the grass beside her.

Ziying sat down as promised.

Lingsha stared at him for a long time, and finally burst out laughing.

Ziying looked at her puzzled.

"Ziying, let me ask you, when on earth did you recognize me?"

"...I... can't be sure..."

"Heh~! So you have to treat me as 'Sister Lu' all the time?"

"Ah."

"But sometimes, you feel that 'I' looks like me?"

"……Um."

Lingsha smiled and said: "I'm sorry, little Ziying, I made you difficult again! It's all because the King of Hades said that I can't recognize you until the treasure is paid off, otherwise, I would have gone to you long ago~~"

Ziying shook her head: "It's okay. It's you..."

"how?"

"...You are so afraid of the cold, is it because there is still hope to relieve the cold in your body?"

"...This..." Lingsha propped her chin and thought for a while, "I guess it won't happen... When I died, Wang Shujian should have fallen asleep again. When I returned to Qingluan Peak, I didn't touch it again. ——Ah!" She suddenly realized, "At that time, you asked Tianhe where Wang Shujian was, so it was because of this?"

Ziying nodded slightly.

"Thank you, Ziying..." She stroked his white sleeve lightly, "In my opinion, there should be no hope and coldness in my body, and I feel uncomfortable, probably because I only Count as 'half a person'~~"

Thinking of this, she found it amusing, and laughed again.

But Ziying said: "Lingsha, there must be other ways to stop you from suffering, I—"

"Xiao~Zi~Ying~" Lingsha hurriedly interrupted him, "Just relax! I finally came back, we should all be happy! In fact, Senior Yun and I had a good time in the ghost world I'm so happy, you burn so much paper money every year, I can't use it all up, so I opened a pawn shop~"

"……pawnshop?"

"That's right. Senior Yun is very good at gambling. Those big ghosts and little ghosts lost all their money, so they had to come to me to pawn things. Now there are so many shadow branches in the pawnshop that they can be used as firewood, but if It’s a pity that it’s really going to be burned, so I have to let Feng Yasong make some bird nests for now~”

There was a helpless smile on the corner of Ziying's mouth, and she shook her head.

"Oh, little Ziying, you don't say a word, but I know what you're thinking. You must be thinking, I didn't expect that this nephew would still behave like this after 100 years, right?"

"Lingsha..."

Ziying couldn't tell her, but she guessed most of what she was thinking, so she smiled and said nothing.Seeing that he finally smiled, Lingsha felt happy and leaned on his shoulder lightly.Ziying froze for a moment, but it was inconvenient to dodge, so she had to lean on her.After a while, she suddenly heard her laughing on her shoulder: "Little Ziying, your ears are red..."

He couldn't help turning his face slightly away.After a while, the people around him were breathing evenly, and they were already fast asleep.

When Lingsha woke up, the sky was slightly white.She straightened up, and found that Ziying was still in the posture she was leaning on last night, and was looking at her worriedly at the moment.Both of them were covered with a thin layer of light, which was very warm and comfortable. She asked curiously: "Ziying, what kind of spell is this?"

Ziying said: "This is a method of Qionghua School to meditate and adjust breath."

A hundred years ago, he was worried that the dragon holding the candle would take back the breath of the dragon in Tianhe's body, so he figured out a set of immortal methods to drive away the cold and calm the mind in his spare time, just in case.However, until Lingsha left, this spell had never been used, and the others naturally didn't know about it.Last night when he saw Lingsha fell asleep, he was worried that she would catch a cold, and he just used it for the first time.

Lingsha smiled and said: "This spell is really good. I am not afraid of the cold and dizzy now. Ziying, teach me too."

Ziying said: "You have been running around for days and need to rest, let's go back to Qingluan Peak first. This spell...it won't be too late to teach it later."

Lingsha nodded: "Okay, I'll listen to you~"

Ziying then summoned the magic sword.Seeing that he seemed to be hesitating, Lingsha approached him with a smile and said, "Little Ziying, let me see, why don't you take me to fly? Now that I'm like this, I can't guarantee that I won't fall from the sky~"

Ziying didn't say a word, but her face was a little red.Lingsha only thought that he agreed, and followed him onto the sword spine, hugging his waist generously.

The magic sword rose slowly into the air, and with a bang, it carried the two of them into the sky.

They flew all the way south.At this time, the sun had already poked its head out from the clouds in the sky, and it dyed the two people's sides with morning glow, and Ziying's white hair was also dyed with a few streaks of glow.Lingsha was blinded by the light, so she closed her eyes and leaned against Ziying's back, feeling the morning breeze blowing around her, making her feel warm.

After a while, the magic sword seemed to drop slightly.Lingsha opened her eyes, and found that the water below was glistening, and the open surface of Chaohu Lake was rippling with soft waves in the morning sun.She hurriedly said: "Ziying, wait, let's stop here for a while!"

Ziying didn't know what she meant, she thought she was feeling unwell, so she urged the magic sword to fly downward.Lingsha looked behind him, pointed to an open area on the shore and said, "There!"

Ziying landed slowly according to her words.Lingsha jumped down from the sword, took a deep breath of moist air, turned around and smiled at him:

"Ziying, do you still remember, what is this place?"

Ziying walked to her side, looked at the lake meeting the sky, but didn't answer.

"...The last time the four of us went to Juchao Country to find Kunlin, we passed by this place." Lingsha followed his gaze, and the reeds on the shore were shaking in the wind. The red sun is slowly rising from among the clouds.

"Also..." She tapped her cheeks with her finger, her voice became softer and softer, "It's also here that Tianhe and I met you for the first time..."

At that time, a young man in white clothes and blue shirt came lightly, with a sword like a shooting star, no matter how time flies, it is still an unforgettable memory.

Lingsha smiled slightly, reached out and took his hand.

"...Ziying, after returning to Qingluan Peak, return the sword to Tianhe, and I will be with you. I will follow you wherever you go. We will be happy and do what we want, okay? good?"

Ziying turned her head, the pale golden sunlight illuminated his face very brightly, it was indescribably open and handsome.

He remained silent like that and didn't speak.But Lingsha already knew what he wanted to say to her.

This is the greatest happiness.
