Although Qingcheng feels summery in early summer, Qingcheng Mountain still remains in spring, with a chill that penetrates the bones.
"The beauty of April in the human world is gone, and the peach blossoms in the mountain temple are beginning to bloom."
The temperature at the foot of the mountain is normal, and the locust trees all over the city are about to bloom, but the temperature in the mountains is just right for the flowers to bloom.
Ye Zhaoling quietly sat next to the small mountain spring and washed his wounds.
Drop after drop of blood merged and dispersed in the water, outlining her outline and dyeing her eyes and lips red. Then, clouds of reddish glow filled the small pool.
After washing for half an hour, she broke out in a cold sweat, and her neck and back began to feel sore. When she caught a glimpse of the smooth bluestone next to her, which was as tall as a person, she spread the coat she had thrown aside.
In order to prevent the wound from being rubbed by clothing and causing unbearable pain, she had to take off two sweaters.
The autumn clothes soaked in blood were also taken off. Ye Zhaoling frowned and looked at them. He couldn't stand the fact that the white autumn clothes were turned red by the blood, so he stuffed them into the water and rubbed them clean.
Now wearing only a sports bra, he sat on the edge of the bluestone, carefully shifting his position so as not to press on the bloody mass on the back of his neck.
So what's the saying?
Therefore, when Heaven is about to entrust this person with a great responsibility, he must first strain his mind and will, strain his muscles and bones, starve his body and skin, deplete his body, and mess up his actions. Therefore, tempting his heart and forbearance will benefit him beyond what he can do.
Ye Zhaoling: Mencius! I understand.
So in the 21st century, spiritual energy has really revived? It is normal for headless and skeleton men to appear, but after spiritual energy recovers, only the dead will become immortals first?
Otherwise, why hasn't she seen the immortal cultivator flying with a sword, taking objects from the air, drawing the thunder from the nine heavens to overcome tribulations, etc...
Instead, I saw the girls who died last night, headless but still walking.
Is this still the same earth?
A slogan from a certain game suddenly came to her mind, and she adapted it to suit her current mood——
"The earth is still the same earth, but our hearts have changed."
She looked at her face in the pool and fell into deep thought.
In just the blink of an eye, there was a soft sound of footsteps behind her, and she smiled without looking back.
"Boss Tang? Did Ye Ba catch the wild boar so quickly?"
"It's me."
The elegant and familiar male voice was not Tang Boyu.
In the middle of the pool, Ye Zhaoling's face was still smiling, and there seemed to be waves in his eyes. If he looked carefully, he saw that there was a circle of microwaves in the pool, which crushed the smile on his porcelain white face.
"Aren't you curious why I came to see you again?"
"Should I be curious?"
"You can choose to be curious."
"Should I thank you for your tolerance? Tolerance allows me to choose on my own."
He was silent for a while and then called out helplessly.
"Ye'er."
Hearing this title, Ye Zhaoling didn't know what kind of emotions she felt in her heart, or maybe she had all kinds of emotions, a mixture of emotions, filling her whole heart.
But it cannot be denied that she is not ready now——
See that face.
So she lowered her head and looked at a strange-shaped stone on the ground intently.
Well, the texture is quite regular.
Her thoughts wandered for a while, and the person behind her didn't speak again.
It would not do her any good to remain in such a stalemate.
She smiled: "Going back to the first question, I am indeed curious. Let me take a bold guess, are you also here to see my jokes? Or, is there anything else about me that you can use?"
As before, when he was impatient to answer a question, he would replace it with another declarative sentence, easily kicking her question into the corner.
The answer was inappropriate: "I can take you away."
"Where are you leaving? Why are you leaving? Where are you going after leaving? What obligation do you have to take me away? To be honest, I don't understand and I don't need to. I'm very confused. You know why I came. Right?"
"I know."
"Then why did I come?"
"What you want is the same thing as what everyone else wants."
"What is it? Tang Monk Meat or Resurrection Stone?"
Ye Zhaoling admitted that she was talking nonsense and talking nonsense. This was still based on the fact that she knew very well that Zhang Yu would most likely not attack her again. Otherwise, there was no need for him to come to her.
In her current situation, if she didn't know how high the sky was, the two-meter-deep small pool next to her could easily drown her.
There is no need to be anxious or impatient.
She suppressed the depression in her heart and laughed: "I was joking."
He was silent for a while: "I know you don't want to see me. I will leave tomorrow."
Ye Zhaoling smiled gently: "You just made plans to leave a long time ago, not because I don't want to see you."
This man is so cunning in his words.
He seemed not to understand Ye Zhaoling's sarcasm, and then added: "You can ask me anything. If I know, I will answer it for you." Just like before.
Ye Zhaoling was not polite and went straight to the point.
"So, you know everything from beginning to end, but you don't want me to regain my memory at all? You think it's fun to manipulate a fool, right?"
"I have never thought of it this way." Not at first, not now, and never in the future.
Ye Zhaoling nodded, which was a denial.
"The leaves fall in the autumn wind, and the grass dries up in winter. The path is simple and let nature take its course."
Ye Zhaoling knew that this was the explanation.
"Ye'er, these ten years have not been a mirror image. We have been together day and night for ten years, and I have taught you for ten years. What you know most clearly is you now. No need to provoke, you also know very well who I am."
Ye Zhaoling shook her head, she didn't want to be led by the other party.
"You may really know everything about me, but until now, I don't know your true identity."
The illusory person behind him sighed: "I have been in front of you, but you didn't want to look at me; just like before, I didn't hide anything from you, but you covered your eyes."
Ye Zhaoling smiled, pretending to be relaxed and said: "Because what I want is to be honest and honest, not specious."
"Ye'er." If you are too serious, you will always be the one who gets hurt.
He didn't say the rest.
Ye Zhaoling's heart felt as if someone had thrown her heart into a pool and rinsed it, but they forgot to fish it out for her. She jumped in and looked for it, but there was nothing in the pool.
She took a long breath and pinched her index finger: "Do you have anything else?"
"Tang Boyu, he is not as simple as he appears."
Ye Zhaoling nodded symbolically: "What else?"
"You can think carefully about whether to leave with me. I'll wait for you at the old place. Tomorrow is the 8th, six o'clock in the afternoon, the deadline."
Ye Zhaoling remained silent. The other party knew very well what she was interested in, but was unwilling to tell her due to various concerns.
She was troubled by someone who was honest but not completely honest.
"Also, don't go down the mountain today."
"You think I'm going to be caught and killed?"
"……No."
"It's going to rain today."
A fish called "Silence" jumped out of the pool.
There is actually nothing embarrassing about this silence.
Because for the past ten years, he has been a one-man show.
So he naturally asked the question that came to his mind: "I have always had a question. What does giving up mean to you?"
"Truth or lie?"
"For me, there is no absolute truth or falsehood in anything. There is only what you want to believe and what you don't want to believe."
"Yeah, if you want to believe what I say, it's the truth; if you don't want to believe it, it's a lie.
"give up?"
"I never give up."
Ye Zhaoling shook his head slowly but firmly.
"It didn't happen before, it won't happen now, and it won't happen in the future."
