The sword energy of Cangrong Sword firmly locked the poisonous poison in my body. After a little adjustment, I no longer had the feeling of poisonous hair. Before going to Quexian Waterfall for an appointment, I went to the wooden house again, under the starry sky.
Everything is so quiet and somewhat lost. Will that person really never come back? Or is he already married to the woman who loves him so much?
If you look closely, Quexian Waterfall is just an ordinary waterfall. Who would have guessed that there is another world underneath it?
There were footsteps behind me, I sighed slightly, and Nalan had already walked around in front of me.
"Tell me, what happened in Yuyu Forest after I left?" I asked calmly.
"Do you still remember Soft Wings?"
How could I not remember? If it weren't for her, how could I have been taken into the Demon Realm by Cang Li and lived there for forty years? If it hadn't been for her, how could I have understood that the deception from my friends was so heartbreaking?
The memory that had been buried for forty years was still as clear as before. I thought about it for a while, but it was a painful memory that I didn't want to think of. When I looked back, tired, I saw Nalan Mo Sheng's face that suddenly looked a little weathered. I suddenly
Remember, forty years have passed like this.
"On the day you disappeared, Rouchi also left. Before leaving, she stayed in Youyou Valley for a while. Xiaolu didn't like her at all. When he found her, they had a dispute, and Rouchi left in anger. Later Xiaolu
Tell me, she dropped a red bead in Youyou Valley, Xiaolu liked it a little, and saw that the bead had spiritual energy, so she kept it. Thinking about it, the bead is probably a demon spirit."
I sighed deeply and said, "That day, it was Rouyi who colluded with a demon clan and seriously injured me, causing me to fall into the demon realm."
Nalan seemed to be surprised.
"She helped me because she wanted to enhance my spiritual power and then seize my true essence to give to that demon. At that time, I was attacked by her and was seriously injured. I was rescued by another demon and brought into the demon realm... As for being with her
It seems that the devil who conspired with him was also injured, and I don’t know what happened next.”
"That's it. After she left, monsters continued to invade the Yuyu Forest. Now it seems that it's all because of the monster spirit." He paused and continued, "You disappeared suddenly. Xiaolu and I were looking for you everywhere.
You, but, there is no news... Xiaolu takes care of and relies on me in every possible way. Gradually, I feel a little guilty towards her, so..."
I smiled faintly and raised my head to look at him.
"There is no need to explain, the relationship between you and I has completely ended long ago in the Demon Realm. I am extremely grateful that you can take good care of Xiaolu."
He smiled coldly and muttered silently: "It's over...Yes, it's over."
As if stunned for a moment, he immediately regained his composure. However, his current composure was somewhat mixed with desolation and disappointment, and it was no longer the slightly arrogant composure he had before.
"We have been looking for you for many years. Until not long ago, a powerful demon in purple came to the Forest of Yuyu at some unknown time. It should be said that it was her spirit that came to the Forest of Yuyu. It was she who told me that you are in the Forest of Yuyu.
In the Demon Realm, she is about to hold a wedding with the second most powerful demon in the Demon Realm... She said that as long as I am willing to help her prevent this wedding, she will help me activate the Demon Suppressing Stone and bring the people back to the Demon Realm... You
I knew that this was the bounden duty of the Lord of the Forest, and I heard that you were about to marry someone else... so I agreed to her... but I didn't know that she actually wanted me to hurt you!" He sighed, "I
I hesitated, but after thinking about it, you are about to marry someone else. My only wish is to complete my duties as soon as possible, not to mention that I only hurt you, not your life, so I..."
"So you agreed?"
He nodded, but I could only smile bitterly. It seemed that everything he did was so fair and aboveboard.
"What happened next?"
"After I returned to the Yuyu Forest, this woman never appeared again. I have always been worried about this, especially the sword that stabbed you... Xiaolu saw me like this and kept shouting to go to the Demon Realm.
Find that woman to settle accounts. Later, you came back unexpectedly and brought news about the demon spirit. Xiaolu may have guessed that the red bead was the demon spirit, so..."
After listening to his statement, I felt somewhat complicated. I carefully sorted out the whole story, but suddenly I discovered an omission. The woman in purple clothes Nalan mentioned should be Zi Mei. But why did Zi Mei know that I was with Yu Yu Zhilin?
The connection? What makes me even more curious is how Zhi Fen, who has lived in the Demon Realm for a long time, knew that the demon spirit was in the Yuyu Forest? Did Zi Mei tell her? Also, how could she know Xiaolu in two time and space?
What about his identity? Even Nalan and I, who have lived with Xiaolu for decades, don’t know this. How did Zhifen know?
"Has the woman in purple you mentioned met Xiaolu?"
Nalan seemed surprised by the question I asked.
"No." He replied doubtfully.
His answer made me even more confused. I thought carefully, hoping to sort out everything that happened. But he then asked:
"What about you? How did you come out of the Demon Realm? Could it be related to the woman in purple?"
I looked at him silently, and recalled Cang Li's helpless and weak eyes at the end, as well as the turbulent whirlpool above the Demon Sealing Valley.
"The woman's name is Zi Mei, she is the sister of another powerful demon in the Demon Realm. She found you to help her brother defeat the demon who saved me. She is deep-minded and cunning, so she takes advantage of your weakness.
You, her goal has been achieved, so naturally she will no longer fulfill her so-called promise. At that time, I was also deceived by her, so I killed Cang Li, the demon who once saved me. Before he died, he used his last
The power sent me back.
"The fairy who became a demon here is named Zhi Fen. She was Can Li's maid, but later she betrayed Can Li and followed Zi Mei. She has made it very clear why. In order to find her 'Qilin'
, it’s not surprising that she can sacrifice almost everything to do these things.”
Nalan pondered for a while, perhaps digesting everything that had happened to me in the Demon Realm for forty years from my brief explanation. However, how could he fully guess the loneliness, helplessness, and desolation I faced?
of?
"Then... you and that demon clan..."
The question he finally asked made me somewhat helpless. Maybe he still pretends to be me in his heart. However, for all these reasons, even the initial waiting and persistence were lost when the time for explanation was missed.
"When he rescued me in the Forest of Desolation and forced me to marry him in the Demon Realm, it was all because I was too similar to his previous wife, so he wanted to treat me as her and keep me company. Think about it, if it weren't for him
He cared for me in every possible way and healed my injuries, but I was already dead."
Nalan smiled bitterly: "If I had known this, how could all this happen?"
This was the first time I had such a peaceful conversation with Nalan after I returned to the Yuyu Forest, but that was all.
There is nothing between me and him except misunderstandings, regrets, misses, helplessness and regret. He has finished what he should say, I turned around to face the direction of Quexian Waterfall, and listened quietly to the sound of water flow. At night The wind was a bit strong due to the water, and when it blew on me, I felt a chill. Memories of the past flashed through my mind, but after all, they were like smoke in the past.
Nalan finally chose to turn around and leave. What he should face was not the past, but the future of all the creatures in the Depressed Forest, and the person who had deeply engraved him in his heart and needed him to protect and care for him forever. Facing our reunion forty years later, I am already playing the role of a passer-by. Except for my mother, the forest of gloom seems to have become farther and farther away from me. Facing my old friend, I can only feel sad, not to mention, the one I am in I'm afraid there is no cure for the evil poison. I don't even know how long I can have a relationship with this world.
"If one day I still have the ability, I will come back to help you lead your people back to the demon world."
A promise and a farewell, but I don’t know if it can still be fulfilled. Nalan did not turn around, but the fairy waterfall remained the same as before.
