Chapter 53 Ruthless Dao
After all, the sweet and astringent dream could not resist the impermanence of the world, so it came to an abrupt end here.
When Shang Qing was 20 years old, too many things happened—Sword Master Yun Yan fell, Shang Qing left Chonghua Sect, went to Guixu Tianyuan alone, and met Ji Guichen.
In the following seven years, he killed the eldest grandson of the Bai family in Beidou Mountain Villa, and took three spiritual lamps.
Cultivating Taishang Ruqing Dao, forming a blood pact with Luanqing, survived nineteen times of enemy pursuits, beheaded two elders of Wujizong and Canglan Sword Sect, and regained Yunyan's 36 soul fragments .
And... avoid Yan Linhan.
Shang Qing knew that Yan Linhan had been looking for him, but he tried every means to avoid him every time.
Now that he decided to stir up this bloody storm alone, Shang Qing never thought of involving Yan Linhan in the slightest.
Yan Linhan is the clear ice and snow on the high mountains, and the cold moonlight among the isolated peaks. He should always be on a high place, admired by thousands of people, and Shang Qing would never want to see him stained with blood and dust.
Shang Qing never cared what everyone thought of him, but he didn't want to implicate Yan Linhan.
But he seemed to have underestimated Yan Linhan's persistence. Seven years later, on a snowy day, Yan Linhan still tracked down Shang Qing's whereabouts.
At that time, Shang Qing had just handed over master Yun Yan's soul fragment to Ji Guichen.
In the vast snowfield, Shang Qing was also a little dazed, everything seemed to have come to an end temporarily, but he didn't know where to go.
At such a point in time, Yan Linhan happened to find him, perhaps this should have been the beginning of a reunion story.
However, by mistake, it was too late after all.
Shang Qing has been away for seven years, and Taishang Wuqing Dao has also practiced for seven years. Now he has cultivated to the eighth level of Wuqing Dao, and he has achieved great success.As a result, even the look in his eyes gradually faded, and after fulfilling his initial wish, when he looked back at anything, it seemed to have nothing to do with him, and it was difficult to stir up troubles in his heart.
Just like when he saw Yan Linhan walking up from the foot of the mountain step by step in the wind and snow, he thought to himself, I should like this person very much, should I feel... joyful because of his arrival?Are you moved?Or other feelings?
The once fierce feelings seemed to be sealed under the ice. Although the mind clearly knew everything, the heart lost the ability to produce emotions, and it just beat indifferently, without any reaction.
"It's not right." Ji Guichen seemed to see through what Shang Qing was thinking, and he said, "Isn't the best choice for you now to kill him?"
After Ji Guichen took Yun Yan's spirit fragments, he still hadn't left. He was dressed in black, and standing in the snow at this moment, he really looked like a lonely ghost.
It's not like, he was, Shang Qing thought.
The lord of all ghosts who came out of the Abyss of Thousand Bone Fighting, the ghost king of Fengdu Ghost City, Ji Guichen has already given up many things in his life.In his eyes, there are probably only a few things left to interest him.
Taishang ruthless way is probably one of them.
But Ji Guichen is also a bit strange. Although he is interested in Taishang Wuqing Dao, it's not that he wants to practice it himself, he just wants to see Shang Qing cultivate Wuqing Dao.
When Yun Yan took Shang Qing away from Ji Guichen, they had a quarrel.The subject of the debate was whether Shang Qing could cultivate immortality and enter Taoism like normal people.
Yun Yan said that he can not only cultivate immortality, but also stand at the top of the immortal way.
At that time, Ji Guichen still didn't believe it.
But now, Ji Guichen not only believed it, but also wanted to see how far Shang Qing could go on this slow journey to immortality.
What is the so-called peak of immortality?saint.
The world is not benevolent, the saints are ruthless, and Shang Qing, who has practiced the ruthless way to the eighth level, seems to be only one step away from the top of the immortal way.
The heavenly scriptures say that people in the world have the so-called seven emotions and six desires, which cannot be cut off completely, and it is difficult to become a saint.
The Taishang Ruqing Dao also happens to have nine levels, and Shang Qing is only short of the last level to be able to consummate.After cultivating the ruthless way, from now on in Chengtian Realm, no one can match him on the way of cultivation.
"With your talent, if the ruthless Tao is perfect, sanctification is just around the corner." Ji Guichen looked down at the soul fragment in his hand, his eyes were sharp, like a peregrine staring at its prey.
Shang Qing didn't speak, and there was no light in his eyes.
When Yun Yan handed over Taishang Wuqingdao to Shang Qing, he said that Wuqingdao has a great influence on temperament. The higher the realm, the more sad and joyless, and he regards everything as worthless.
Shang Qing lowered his head and saw from a distance that Yan Linhan had climbed to the top of the mountain, and he might be coming to him soon.
Yan Linhan's clothes were shaking in the wind and snow, Shang Qing silently looked at the white skirt, and suddenly felt that it was more desolate than any snowflake.
There shouldn't be such special attention, even if it's just a little bit, it shouldn't have appeared.
hiss--
Shang Qing suddenly felt a tingling pain in his consciousness, it was very small, but it was like a warning.
"Still hesitating?" Seeing that Shang Qing was silent, Ji Guichen gently rolled up his sleeves and said, "Then why not, I'll kill you for you, you just have to watch."
Shang Qing had known Ji Guichen for seven years, and could tell from his words that he really wanted to kill.
Ji Guichen was born with a murderous spirit. He had a high position and authority during his lifetime. He was used to saying one thing and killing decisively. Once he made a move, there would be no room for regret.
Even at this time, Shang Qing still couldn't show any more intense emotions, and two questions calmly floated through his mind.
Can Yan Linhan survive Ji Guichen?cannot.
Can I stop Ji Guichen?also can not.
Then if he fights against Yan Linhan, whoever loses wins?Not sure yet.
hiss.
It started to hurt again.
"No need, I have to deal with my own affairs." Shang Qing lowered his head, and slowly drew out the black long sword in his hand.
The name of this sword is Delusion.
At the beginning, Shang Qing thought that it meant that he had always been in love with hatred, wanton and arrogant, and unrestrained, so it was called delusion.Today, looking at the name of this sword, I seem to have another feeling.
Why delusional?
delusional, delusional.
It is an indiscriminate thought, something that should not exist.
For Shang Qing now, the word love has indeed become the last thing he should have.
Shang Qing fell from the high pavilion and stood right in front of Yan Linhan.
Snowflakes fluttered one after another, falling on the long hair and clothes of the two of them.When we got along in the past, because of his personality, Yan Linhan was the colder one.
However, today, Yan Linhan has thousands of words hidden in his eyes, but Shang Qing's expression is indifferent.
Yan Linhan didn't ask questions or search, he just reached out his hand to Shang Qing and said, "I'll take you back, okay?"
Shang Qing turned his head slightly, and the memory of his body said that maybe he should hold that slender and strong hand.But Shang Qing still chose not to respond, just said: "Draw your sword."
Back then, there was also a snowfall in front of Yunya Mountain Gate, and they knew each other's names.
Once, in the Snowy Heavenly Palace, there was also snowy white, and they exchanged a kiss in the historic site.
Today, Feixue is still there, but the two are facing each other, their swords facing each other.
Yan Linhan had already noticed Shang Qing's strangeness, and saw a rather mysterious black-clothed ghost standing on the high pavilion from a distance.He has no way of knowing what Shang Qing experienced, he can only guess that Shang Qing may be controlled by ghosts.
Therefore, Yan Linhan accepted this special appointment, with a firm expression on his face, he said, "I will definitely take you back."
Shang Qing still didn't speak, he didn't have much expression, but his heart was not completely calm.
He was thinking that he couldn't lose.
Unlike the previous ones who were competitive and competitive, the reason why they couldn't lose was because Shang Qing knew that if he lost, then Ji Guichen, who was watching the battle from behind, would most likely act to "fulfill" his ruthless way.
So, you have to win.
Shang Qing wanted to play with these things, and the pain from the sea of consciousness was one step closer.
However, it's not a problem, let's bear with it first.
……
Shang Qing managed it in the end, he managed to win half of the move, the blade of delusion pierced Yan Linhan's chest, but "unintentionally" deflected by three points, and brushed past the tip of Yan Linhan's heart.
Enough to render a person unconscious and breathless.
When closing the sword, Shang Qing looked at the blush in the snow and the blood stained by his own injuries, and suddenly felt very dazzling.
But he quickly wiped off the blood on the blade, put the sword back into its sheath, and walked towards the pavilion where Ji Guichen was sitting.Because he knew that if he walked too slowly, Ji Guichen might come down.
"Let's go, it's over." When Shang Qing said these words to Ji Guichen lightly, he felt a little nervous.
He hasn't experienced such emotional fluctuations for a long time since he became ruthless.
"Are you sure?" Ji Guichen raised his eyes to look at him, as if he was a stern father who caught evidence of a rebellious child's lying.
Shang Qing pursed his lips, and finally said: "Sure."
Ji Guichen squinted those sharp and narrow eyes, and looked at Shang Qing for a long time, so long that Shang Qing thought that he was about to be exposed, so Ji Guichen stood up and said, "Let's go, see if you are hurt too." It’s not serious, find a place to treat it.”
In fact, Shang Qing didn't take what Ji Guichen said very much.
He just wanted to turn around a little bit, he was just thinking that it was very cold on the mountain today, and there might be snow in the evening.
do not know……
But still can't turn back, Ji Guichen is really difficult to deal with.
"Hmm." Shang Qing stretched out his hand to cover his abdomen, his expression was still calm, but a muffled groan came out of his throat.But soon, he withdrew his hand again.
The pain in the sea of consciousness became more obvious, probably, this is the so-called backlash of the ruthless way.
"What's wrong?" Ji Guichen asked him.
Shang Qing's face was as usual: "The wound hurts."
After Shang Qing was taken far away by Ji Guichen, he found a secluded place to heal his illness and recuperate, and rested for several days.One day, Ji Guichen suddenly looked at Shang Qing and said, "It's really worthless."
Then Shang Qing suddenly smiled, and the corners of his mouth curled into a very small arc, which was even hard for others to notice.
But he did smile.
Because he knew that since Ji Guichen said so, Yan Linhan must have been rescued.
Ji Guichen almost wanted to roll his eyes at him regardless of his appearance, but at last he thought about it and endured it: "You have already achieved a great deal of ruthlessness, so weigh it yourself, and be careful to put your own life in it."
Shang Qing turned his head and looked out of the window, but he didn't seem to see anything.
After a while, he said, "I will never see him again in this life."
"It's good to know." Ji Guichen said, "I went back to Fengdu to nourish Yunyan's soul, so I don't have time to take care of you for now, so be careful."
After recovering from his injury, Shang Qing had nothing else to do for the time being, so he walked around and stopped, and it was rare for him to be free.
Make a little cover, hide your whereabouts, and occasionally deal with a few enemies who come to your door.This kind of life sounds a little bad, but for Shang Qing, it is already relaxed and comfortable.
Apart from……
When thinking of Yan Linhan inadvertently, Zhihai always hurts badly, and every time it gets worse.
Shang Qing didn't plan to see a doctor, after all, he knew very well that there was no cure for Ruthless Dao's backlash, even the most powerful medical practitioner in Chengtian Realm, there was nothing he could do.
Speaking of medical repair, Shang Qing thought of the news he heard when he was wandering around the city.
It is said that the head of Yunya Mountain personally went to Chonghua Zong Taisu Peak to seek medical treatment, and invited the little doctor Ning Yuxin to treat Yan Linhan's injury.
Shang Qing pouted, Ning Yuxin?This person has always been at odds with Long Yuanfeng.
However, although others are not very good, their medical skills are not bad in today's medical training. I don't know how Yan Linhan's injury is now——
Just as he was thinking, Shang Qing suddenly felt an uncontrollable pain, and a bloody smell rose from his chest, and he couldn't help coughing violently.
"Ouch! Guest officer, why are you vomiting blood? Do you want to find a doctor for you!" The waiter in the teahouse was startled. The customer was smiling just now, why did he suddenly vomit blood.
Shang Qing wiped the corner of his mouth, a little lost in thought.
After he was stunned for a while, he remembered to say to the shocked waiter next to him, "It's okay, I'll go find the doctor myself, and I won't bother you."
Shang Qing put down the tea money on the table, put on the bamboo hat and left the teahouse.
It is of course a lie to seek a doctor, but Shang Qing understands that there is no cure for his problem - as long as you don't think about Yan Linhan, it's very simple, right?
Shang Qing sighed slowly, he understood the truth, but the mind is a difficult thing to control.
How can I say that if I don't want to, I don't want to.
The past seven years were fine, the Wuqing Dao hadn't reached such a high level, and there were a lot of things to do at that time, busy with cultivation and running for life, it seemed that there was not much time to think about it.
Later, as I practiced the ruthless way, some things seemed to fade away and be forgotten.
It wasn't until that day that Shang Qing saw Yan Linhan again that he finally understood: No wonder he couldn't make it to the ninth level of the Ruthless Dao. It turns out that it was a lie to say it lightly and forget it.
What can I do about this, Shang Qing raised his head, with a helpless smile hanging from the corner of his mouth.
At that time, Shang Qing probably didn't expect that he found a way not long after, and he found a way during the massive encirclement and suppression of Luofu Mountain.
Originally, they set up the Shahun Blood Formation to make Shang Qing's soul scatter and his body and spirit disappear.
As a result, Shang Qing was in a dead situation, and figured out a way out—not only his way out in this siege, but also his way out from the ruthless backlash.
So there was the scene that Qingque saw at that time, Shang Qing forcibly stripped away his soul, and only extracted a wisp of remnant soul.
Not only to escape from the evil spirit blood array, but also to give up some things.
The seven emotions and six desires are hidden in the soul. In the process of practicing the ruthless way, the seven emotions and six desires in the soul will be tempered one by one, making them disappear gradually and turning them into "clean" things.
This process is what the world calls cutting off the mortal relationship.
In fact, Shang Qing's soul has almost been tempered by the ruthless way, but he has not yet learned the ninth level, so there are only a small number of fragments of the soul that have not been able to "cut off the fate".
Strip it out, turn it into a wisp of remnant soul, and use the power of the turning lamp to communicate with another world.
Sending the remnant soul into a new reincarnation, there is a small chance that the remnant soul will be brought up slowly with the help of the new body.
This is actually a very risky bet, because Shang Qing doesn't know where the remnant soul will be sent, what it will look like, and whether it can be successfully raised and completed.
Fortunately, he won the bet in the end.
The remnant soul was sent to the modern world and grew into a 20-year-old college student, Shang Qing. Then, when the soul was fully nurtured, it returned to the Chengtian Realm through a common thunderstorm in the two worlds.
On that wisp of remnant soul, there was originally Shang Qing's last remaining emotion.
……
The turning lamp in Shang Qing's hand was flashing red, and after going on and off several times, it returned to tranquility.
He slowly opened his eyes, as if waking up from a long dream.
Shang Qing suddenly remembered that in the ghost town of Fengdu at that time, Ji Guichen said in a tone of hatred that iron could not be made into steel, saying that he was "constrained by petty love and petty love, so he was really useless."
No wonder.
But there's nothing wrong with that.
Shang Qing thought, after 20 years of tossing, he just wanted to have a chance to continue to have a relationship with Yan Linhan.
This is how it looks now, it's great.
Behind him is Yan Linhan's cool body temperature and reassuring embrace.Shang Qing turned his face to look at him, there seemed to be a fire hidden in his chest, slightly hot,
Shang Qing stretched out his hand and stroked Yan Linhan's face carefully.
From the sharp eyebrows to the high nose bridge; from the deep outline to the thin lips, it seems that every inch of skin is a treasure he lost and found again.
Shang Qing remembered that Yan Linhan rescued him from the pursuit of all his enemies when he just came back from the modern world.Then in the room at the Yunyashan residence, when the two of them were alone, Yan Linhan seemed to want to ask something, but he never asked.
Shang Qing understood now that there must be many, many questions that Yan Linhan wanted to ask.
In the past, Shang Qing didn't know how to answer, and he didn't dare to answer his question in his heart, but now he knows how to respond.
Shang Qing touched Yan Linhan's entire face, and there seemed to be sparkles in his eyes.
Yan Linhan held his hand from the wrist, put it on the side of his face, and said softly, "Did you see anything in your memory? If you are not happy, just forget it."
Shang Qing shook his head, although there were indeed some sad things in his memory, Shang Qing didn't want to forget them.
He raised his left hand again, hugged Yan Linhan's neck, and exerted light force on his hand, so that the distance between the two of them was drawn closer, and they could feel each other's breath.
Shang Qing looked into Yan Linhan's eyes. From this angle, Yan Linhan's eyelashes drooped slightly, like feathers.Perhaps because he was too close, his eyelashes trembled slightly, which made people feel a little itchy.
Shang Qing finally spoke, without any long explanation, he just said: "I'm sorry, I love you very much."
Then, without giving Yan Linhan a chance to react, Shang Qing moved a little closer, just like that year in the Snowy Heavenly Palace, raised his head and kissed him.
Shang Qing closed his eyes piously, so he didn't see that Yan Linhan's eyes were full of tender love like melting snow in spring.
Yan Linhan also closed his eyes.
In the darkness, they chased each other's soft lips, back and forth.
When the two of them had had enough of their sticky kisses, Shang Qing took advantage of the situation and lay on Yan Linhan's shoulders, slowly giving him the memories of those years with his face sideways.
Shang Qing's tone was very relaxed, and he tried to omit some things as much as possible, but Yan Linhan still felt that his heart felt like it was being pinched, and it hurt again and again.
In the past few years, both Shang Qing and Yan Linhan have experienced too much pain and suffering.
"But it's all in the past." Shang Qing was smiling, his eyes were bright, as if filled with a clear spring.
He seemed to be a little unsatisfied, and then supported Yan Linhan's shoulders, lifted his body up, and planted a series of delicate and gentle kisses between Yan Linhan's brows and eyes as if to comfort him.
Yan Linhan wrapped his arms around Shang Qing's waist, hugged him even tighter, and whispered in his ear: "Qingqing, I want to... go to Chonghuazong to propose marriage."
