Chapter 201 Swordsmen
Chapter 201 Swordsmen
The last time Jun Changye fell into this kind of heart-wrenching illusion was in Xiaoxiang, in the Huangquan realm woven by Gu Xishen.However, that illusion is nothing compared to what this heartbroken lady created with Qi Lan.
Before he was awakened by the sound of Fusheng's piano, Jun Changye felt that his emotions and desires were tossed and turned, as if he had been thrown into the world of mortals and rolled.Love and joy are eliminated, hatred and sorrow are infinitely magnified, tears slip into the mouth suddenly, the tip of the tongue is numb and bitter, and the headache seems to explode.
A voice kept repeating in Jun Changye's sea of consciousness, kill him, as long as you kill him, you will be completely freed from the sea of suffering.
Kill him because you want to get rid of the pain?
Then it's better... to kill you first.
Jun Changye suddenly opened his eyes, and an extremely powerful and tyrannical aura erupted from him, even more dangerous than the entire sea of blood combined.Wherever the breath passed, countless lotus branches and leaves seemed to be bent in the pond by the strong wind.And this strong wind also made the person hiding in the depths of the Baili lotus pond directly exposed to everyone.
The voice in the sea of consciousness disappeared immediately.
At the same time, the previous sad Xun music weakened a little, and was almost completely suppressed by Yue Qingchen's piano sound, and even the blood energy in this piece of heaven and earth was washed away by the mysterious Qingyin.
Even if it is not Yinxiu, it should be known that Yue Qingchen has the upper hand for the time being in this fight.
Jun Changye stood up.In the middle of the air, the white-clothed man was standing sideways facing him against the wind, and the Fushengqin was hanging in front of him.Clearly still indifferent eyebrows and eyes, but after turning to Jun Changye, Yue Qingchen's eyes softened a lot, as if asking: "Are you okay?"
Jun Changye shook his head, smiled back, and suddenly felt that there were a lot of ironing posts, and his heart, which was so clouded by Qi Lan's teasing, gradually calmed down.He was going to Yue Qingchen's side, but at this moment, a person suddenly flew out from the place where the lotus bush was torn apart before, and then fell headlong into the bloody water on the bank of the lotus pond, unable to get up for a long time.
Looking at the disheveled gray hair, Jun Changye's heart sank instantly, and then it felt as if he was being held tightly by a big hand, which was uncomfortably tight.
It's Huangyan.
Those who cultivate the Tao can basically maintain their youth forever when they reach Nascent Soul and above, and only when their spiritual veins are exhausted will they show a decadent state.Since the last farewell in the northern border, the two hadn't seen each other for more than a month, but Jun Changye found that Huang Yan's gray hair, which was not much at first, was already full of temples, and he really looked like a real old man.
From the first wanton laughter that I heard when we met under the cliff in Yunjian Mansion, to all the time we spent together later, this old man always seemed full of energy, even more vigorous than the young man Jun Changye.In these years, from the imperial capital to Kunwu Mountain, and then from Kunwu Mountain to Wangurusi, he accompanied Jun Changye through all the most difficult and gloomy times, and even collapsed to the point of insanity.
Huang Yan is known as "Knife Shaman", and the evil star in the sword is obviously not a patient person.But in those ten years, in order to get rid of Jun Changye, he used all his little patience.
Jun Changye's heart was ashamed, as cold as a stone statue, and he didn't say a word for several months, Huang Yan tried every means to make him laugh, even if it didn't work, he persisted.Jun Changye needs to break his body and bones when he cultivates magic skills, he has to experience countless times of near death and rebirth, he has sunk into the abyss of despair countless times, and he wants to end his own life countless times. Huang Yan persuaded him to persevere. If you go on, there will always be a glimmer of hope.
Although Huang Yan always calls himself an "old man", and Jun Changye never forgets to tease him for "being old and disrespectful", he basically never really treats him as an old man.Different from the fiery and hopeless love for Yue Qingchen, Huang Yan is a good teacher and helpful friend who is always by his side for Jun Changye, and a shoulder that can be trusted and relied on.Even more precisely, he seems to have made up for the long-absent "father" role in his heart.
After all, Demon Lord Cang Jue was just a cold portrait shelved, and the legend came to an abrupt end before meeting Jun Changye.
And Huang Yan's chest is hot, his steps are sonorous, his eyes are sometimes playful, but always open-minded.During those ten years, Huang Yan taught Jun Changye all the rules he should know to walk in the world as a demon.
He is the living warmth of the world.
But Dao Sha himself is not even a demon, and he has never been a person who likes to follow the rules.
Jun Changye walked over quickly, half hugged and half lifted Huang Yan out of the bloody water, and then put it as lightly as possible on the shore where it did not touch the water.The old man was covered in blood, and he was lying in Jun Changye's arms, obviously weak, but when his eyes touched the white shadow, he still shouted loudly: "Don't, don't hurt her. Boy Jun, tell your master not to hurt her! "
"Senior," Jun Changye called out in a low voice, "that's Mrs. Duanchang, the former ghost queen. She died more than 20 years ago. The one left in this world is just a ghost turned into a trace of obsession. That's all."
"No, that's not a ghost." Huang Yan shook his head vigorously.It seemed that it was difficult to even breathe while speaking, and there was a wheezing sound in her throat, like a dilapidated old bellows, "No, she clearly, clearly still recognizes me. That is her undispelled remnant soul."
"Senior, do you still recognize this knife?" Jun Changye didn't argue with him, but took his hand and put it on the handle of the knife that was quietly parked beside Huang Yan, "This is Liepo, it's me. It was taken back from a ghost general, and now, it can finally be returned to its original owner."
Huang Yan was startled, and the moment his eyes touched the ghost knife, a drastic change occurred.His eyes, which were muddy due to the inevitable decline, turned to clearness again, as if in that instant, he was pulled back to the time when he fought the world with swords and was happy with revenge.
At that time, Huang Yan was young, and he was still a swordsman who mistakenly believed that he could cut through all injustices; at that time, Lie Po was showing its sharpness, and it was still the most feared knife in the entire cultivation world.Because it could come out of its sheath at any time, and because its owner, Dao Sha Huangyan, was a lunatic who could ignore any rules at any time.
But that was too long ago, so long ago, it seemed to be a matter of the last lifetime.
The handle of the knife that he used to caress every day was once again held in his palm, and the former swordsman almost burst into tears.From the handle to the back of the knife, from the back of the knife to the blade, he kept stroking it. Even though his fingers trembled badly, his heart was still familiar with every old fracture.When he calmed down again, Huang Yan realized that he was sweating profusely. When he raised his head, seeing Jun Changye was looking at him, he wiped away the muddy tears from the corners of his eyes before saying:
"After the Battle of Bahe, I thought it had been smashed to pieces. I didn't expect to see this old friend again in my lifetime."
Speaking of this, Huang Yan paused for a moment, but obviously he didn't finish his sentence.Jun Changye could hear it, so he neither interrupted nor urged him, but just patted him on the back, and then quietly waited for Huang Yan to calm down, and waited for him to gather strength so that he could finish the next sentence .
Jun Changye didn't wait too long.
"...I didn't expect that I could see Lan Ruo again."
Huang Yan tightly held the knife in his arms, and suddenly said in a low voice.
However, after uttering this name, he seemed to have aged several decades again. Not only was he not as energetic as before, but his already somewhat clear eyes also became cloudy again.
Through the two diametrically opposite performances, Jun Changye can see that if the memory of holding the soul in his hand can bring endless strength to Senior Huangyan, then recalling the person named "Lan Ruo" now seems to be a His spirit and vitality were all drained.
"Senior," Jun Changye frowned slightly, "If you don't want to say it, then don't say it."
"No," Huang Yan shook his head, "Boy Jun, do you still remember what I told you? The Queen of Ghosts actually had a boudoir name before she was called Mrs. Broken Heart by the world. Her boudoir name was Lan Ruo. Moreover, she had a relationship with the Palace Master Gu we met in Xiaoxiang back then."
"Master Gu?" Jun Changye's eyes darkened, "Gu Xichen?"
"Yes," Huang Yan answered with a little difficulty, "she... used to be Gu Xichen's senior sister, and was expelled from Huanhua Palace because she married the Lord of the Underworld. But that was after we separated. She, presumably, like me back then, would only have one thought, that is..."
There is such a beautiful woman in the world.
Back then, Lan Ruo, in order to do the mission assigned by Huanhua Palace, happened to have a crush on the same monster as Huang Yan, who was a casual cultivator at the time.The two refused to give in to each other, and chased from the middle of Sichuan all the way to Mobei, and chased for thousands of miles together.
During the process, although Lan Ruo was always wearing the veil of the female disciple of Huanhua Palace, Huang Yan, as a veteran among thousands of flowers, knew that she must be a beauty just by looking at the eyes exposed outside, or the kind of beauty that is both cold and charming , is his favorite.
Although it is said that a beauty is like a flower separated from the clouds, since it is an untouched beauty, how can there be a reason to always look at each other through the veil, but not see the true face?
Therefore, Huang Yan naturally had a wrong thought.When the two arrived in Mobei, he uncharacteristically gave up the monster to Lan Ruo very generously.Then, taking advantage of the other party's happiness, he complimented and teased her, and at the same time used Huajian's veteran methods to coax and deceive her, and took off the woman's veil.
As soon as Fo took it off, he felt that he really made a profit this time.
It's not that Huang Yan has never seen a female disciple of Huanhua Palace before, nor has he never seen a beauty.But he never knew that there are people in the world who really look back and smile, which will make the world around them lose color.
Although Lan Ruo is beautiful, she is still a woman who has illusions about the person she likes.I also often imagine that if one day falls in love, the person I love will definitely come to marry her on the colorful auspicious clouds.
The moment she smiled at Huang Yan, there was no doubt that she was tempted.
After all, there are not many generous heroes. If sweet talk is added, how can a girl who has been working hard in the palace all year round be able to withstand it?
Lan Ruo was moved.However, after a moment of passion and double cultivation, she suddenly realized that the other party was actually Dao Sha who was despised by her fellow teachers and sisters.
