Ye Xiu stood calmly in front of Hong Yi, without saying anything for a long time. His eyes were so sharp that he seemed to want to cut out every inch of Hong Yi's bones before he stopped.
After seeing each other like this, his practice has improved greatly now, and he has not changed the appearance of the past. His face is like a crown jade, his eyebrows are like swords and his eyes are like stars, his body is tall and straight, and his expression is calm.
Hongyi finally felt a little guilty when he saw it, and sarcastically said in a cold voice: "You are standing here looking at me in such a good mood, why not go out and enjoy the heavy snow on Jiahuang Mountain."
Ye Xiu's face was as cold as the towering mountains in the distance, and he was indifferent to her ridicule. After standing for a long time, he pressed his lips as thin as a sword to suppress a slight tremor, which he concealed without any flaws. He frowned,
His voice was cold and somewhat helpless: "What are you doing here, trouble maker?"
Hearing this, Hongyi was suddenly shocked. She didn't dare to raise her eyes, but fortunately the mask covered her expression. She insisted on hiding her ears, as if others couldn't see it, and the sudden hurricane set off a shocking hurricane in her heart, and she couldn't help it.
Generally exists.
He twitched the corner of his mouth, but there were thousands of words to say but no words to answer. In the end, he could only close his eyes and remain silent.
"Why did it become like this?" Ye Xiu stared at her intently, his tone was exactly the same as when she was scolded by him after she got into trouble many years ago.
As if no time had passed yet, she listened to his cold and concise lectures on Jiahuang Mountain and ran away impatiently. Behind her, he took the blame for her without saying a word and acted as her protective umbrella, even at the end.
, he was the only person who believed in her and let her go.
Even now that she had abandoned her people and the world that her master wanted to save, and stood on the opposite side of them, he did not blame her, he just asked her why she came back to suffer since she left.
Now every word he said was hammered into her heart.
Why did it become like this? How was she going to tell him. During the eight years since she left, for the first four years, she was imprisoned in the underground Shura field where assassins were selected in the imperial capital because she refused to succumb to Xiao Jin. She had to mention it every day.
Only by killing people with a knife can you survive and fight back.
She was suddenly uprooted from the ivory tower and thrown into the fire. She must become like this. She will not forget the blood in the Shura Field. Every day, the winner of the Shura Field is picked up to start a new life.
She was the only one who was locked up without seeing the light of day. Even if she was stabbed with a knife until she convulsed, she would continue numbly.
She didn't answer, and she didn't know where to start. In the past eight years, she had been tossed from one darkness to another. Her habitual silence and suffering alone had turned her from the outspoken girl she was to a calm and calm person.
What a cruel person.
"Speak." Yexiu frowned and scolded impatiently.
Hong Yi finally raised her eyes, and the moment she looked at him, she felt frozen in the wind and the moon, forgetting the time.
She didn't want to hide it from the senior brother who treated her the best. Yes, as Xiao Jin said, after hiding for eight years, she still failed. She relaxed her mind and removed the mask from her face.
For the first time in eight years, this face showed its true appearance in the exposed air. Her face, which was so white that it was almost transparent, showed the stubbornness that refused to give in under torture, and the cinnabar-red tear mole in the corner of her eye,
There were a few faint strokes of tenderness on her stern face.
The fingers that were also repaired in the robe slowly clasped into the palm of the hand.
She used to be the most beautiful female disciple on Jiahuang Mountain, but now she is still very beautiful, but with a coldness that cannot be looked at.
If she was a surging and proud mountain spring at that time, now she is like ice on a hundred-foot cliff. Three feet of ice is not a day's cold, and I can't imagine what she has been through for so many years.
Life can transform the lively and arrogant girl into a thin and sharp silhouette.
Those eyes that once shone with the color of the sky and sunshine of Mount Jiahuang are now filled with faint tears, dripping down, converging into a torrent of time, whizzing past in the darkness.
"Senior Brother Xiu, I haven't seen you for a long time."
"It's been a long time." Yesiu took a few steps forward, but he couldn't get past the iron fence between them. "I didn't expect that it was you in red."
What he said before was just a test. If she hadn't been willing to admit it, he wouldn't have been very sure that Hong Yi was A Che. Because he had let her go with his own hands eight years ago and knew her whereabouts later, so he dared to have doubts.
.
Seeing that she didn't answer, Yexiu added: "Wearing a mask makes you really ugly."
"Without wearing a mask, I'm afraid I won't be able to see Senior Brother Xiu alive." Hong Yi smiled slowly and silently. She knew that Xiu was feeling sorry for her, but his taciturn and quiet temperament prevented him from saying too much.
many.
It's not that she hasn't regretted it, she even thought about why she didn't fall in love with Ye Xiu back then. But back then, she spent all the efforts of the girl to confront Baili Fengjian, and he was involved in all the emotions in her body. She didn't have the energy to see it.
Others, she hit the restricted area and can't get out.
As if to reassure her, Yexiu finally smiled uncomfortably, and his tone was not as tight as before: "Can you stand up?"
"Huh?" Hongyi was stunned.
"I'll take you out of here." Ye Xiu seemed to be explaining something that was extremely natural.
"No." She refused hastily, speaking softly but firmly.
"What else do you want to do here?" Yexiu frowned, "Have you not seen enough of the fairy prison in the south sky?"
"I'm happy to visit the old place again, so I won't bother Brother Xiu." Hong Yi turned away, feeling inexplicably annoyed.
Annoyed that he always protects and excuses herself at all costs. Even now that he has become the chief disciple, he does not care whether letting her go is a serious crime against the master's sect, but still gives her his selfishness. What she is more annoyed about is herself.
She was dragging him into the water and causing him to be implicated. After so many years of love, what she was most afraid of was not being able to pay it off.
But Yesiu was very aware of her weakness and why she was so stubborn, "If you don't leave, I will tell my uncle."
Hongyi's face became even colder, and his voice suddenly turned cold, "Senior Brother Xiu, do you want him to reunite with me? Or let him see how prosperous his evil disciples are in that rotten imperial capital, so that he can
Will you throw me into the Nine Heavens Holy Fire again and burn me to the point where even the remaining four souls will be scattered?"
"Only four of the seven souls are left?" Even though he was calm and calm, Ye Xiu was shocked when he heard this.
Hong Yi frowned and said, "There is no need to mention the past."
Yesiu sighed silently, fully understanding that the girl in front of him was different after all. Even though she was still calling his senior brother, the resistance in her words could not be eliminated by this already ethereal relationship.
Dressed in red and wearing a mask, he burned the past.
Sensing Ye Xiu's sudden sigh, Hongyi softened his tone slightly: "Brother Xiu, I want to ask you something."
"you say."
"Use the Sinking Blood Art to seal my consciousness into my soul." She said.
The Sinking Blood Jue can coagulate the flesh and blood all over the body and seal the mind into the heart. In this way, the Red Ming Gu will not be able to grow in her flesh and blood for the time being, and she will not leak any information in front of Baili Fengjian. Wait until Xiao Jin sends someone to rescue her.
——Heh, she knows him too well. As long as she is still valuable, he will definitely save her.
If she waits until then to unlock the Sinking Blood Art, no matter how the scarlet poison grows, she will still have enough time to survive until the fifteenth day of next month. Oh, once this day passes... everything will be over.
Hong Yi twitched the corner of his mouth in a self-deprecating tone and looked at Ye Xiu who had not spoken yet. Moreover, Ye Xiu didn't have to wade through this muddy water.
Ye Xiu did not directly accept it, but the strength of his hand holding the iron fence increased day by day. If it were not for the magic spell cast on the iron fence, he would probably pull the iron fence down.
He knew that the Sinking Blood Art could temporarily prevent her from facing Baili Fengjian, but it went against the laws of nature and froze a person's life. Once unlocked, the person would be backlashed by the Art, consuming their soul at a rate ten times as old.
, he will grow old in a few days and his soul will be gone.
He became angry: "Ache, do you know that if you didn't have such a strong temper, you wouldn't be where you are today."
"I know," Hongyi frowned, her thick eyelashes hiding her expression, "But you also have to see clearly, I am Hongyi now. Hongyi is a scourge that everyone in the world is shouting about, and in the future it will be death or death.
What does life have to do with you, the dignified chief disciple of the Nanqiong Sect?"
She is still like this. Once she makes a decision, she will make it decisively without any room for negotiation. Even if the decision costs her life, she will not shed tears until she sees the coffin.
However, this is Ah Che, just like before, he values self-esteem higher than life, refuses to bow his head no matter what, does not want to accept sympathy, and bears the pain alone. The Ah Che is so strong that it makes people heart-wrenching.
Ye Xiu was silent for a long time, and suddenly remembered the prophecy about Jing Che many years ago - "If it is too strong, it will be easy to break." These five words spanned Jing Che's life, and they were reflected too vividly. He finally couldn't defeat Jing Che,
Subdued, he nodded expressionlessly.
He began to cast the spell, and Hong Yi felt that her flesh and blood began to solidify from bottom to top. When the solidification surrounded her brain, she fell into a long dream in a trance. Time did not freeze because of the magic spell. For a moment, it seemed like it was turning.
We turned a corner and turned back.
In the dream, Hong Yi saw herself as a young girl, lying in the thousand-year-old ice in the coffin, frozen unconsciously. Then she saw the darkness being shattered, the light coming in, and the first thing she saw was
It was Baili Fengjian's slanted and extremely ungrateful smile: "Ah Che, you're awake."
