Chapter 16
Chapter 16
The shadows of bamboo leaves and plantains interweave a peaceful light and shadow, the dilapidated windows of the wooden house are half open, the sour and bitter smell of medicine is as strong as a fog that cannot be dissolved, and there is a vein of clear spring flowing slowly from the mountain, mixed with a few leaves, Surrounded by rounded stone.
Hua Binan was lying on the couch, coughing non-stop, his complexion was papery, like a withered branch, unbearable under the weight of snow.Shi Mo took a bowl of medicine, and Hua Binan threw it to the ground with a flick of his sleeve. The brown medicine juice flowed silently, with white medicine foam, seeping into the texture of the ground little by little.
Hua Binan's eyes were full of red blood, he looked at Shi Mei, and said coldly: "Why do you have to pretend to take care of me."
Shi Mo owed his body, picked up the broken pieces of the porcelain bowl little by little, and said softly: "We are one person, there is no difference."
Hua Binan laughed as if he had heard something ridiculous: "What a pure-hearted person, I am a person who has done all kinds of bad things, how can you and I be the same."
The teacher didn't say much, packed up the pieces and got up, and said softly: "I never blamed you, just the same, you shouldn't hurt the child of the master."
Hua Binan looked up at Shi Mo, that face was no different from Shi Mo, but under the dim lights, it looked extremely gloomy: "After two lives, why are all good things burned by him?"
"As for me, I endured the burden and was cautious, so what did I get?"
The teacher did not speak, sighed softly, and went out with the fragments.He walked to the stream and washed the remaining medicine in his hands.The man in the reflection of the stream was dressed in white, with warm eyes and brows, like a pear tree in the spring breeze, but at this moment he felt strange.He stared fixedly at the water surface, suddenly felt a chill on the side of his neck, a thin pain pierced through, and warm blood trickled down slowly.He didn't look at it, but slightly bent the corners of his lips, and asked, "Ah Ran, is that you."
Mo Ran was soaked in low air pressure, like a black cloud rolling in a thunderstorm, holding a long sword, the blade had slightly pierced the side of Shi Mo's neck, stained with scarlet blood beads.
"Where is Wanning?"
"I went to my previous life."
Mo Ran frowned: "How to go."
"The door of life and death in time and space, master and Hua Binan... that is, the death battle between me in the previous life, Jiu Ge accidentally broke through the restriction of the door of life and death, and took him with him. The door of life and death has made a blood contract with Hua Binan, if you want to go , then only I can help you. It's just...you have to promise me one condition."
Mo Ran put his sword back into its sheath: "I will not let Hua Binan go."
The teacher sighed: "Ah Ran, I can't accommodate two people in one life, otherwise both of them will die. I have already transferred my energy to him."
Mo Ran clenched his fist: "Then you..."
The teacher wiped the blood on the side of the neck: "There are not many days left."
His tone was as relaxed as if he was talking about something that had nothing to do with him, and the gentle smile on the corners of his lips was faintly visible under the bamboo shadow, adding a bit of coolness.
The emotions in Mo Ran's heart were mixed, and there was some pain in his tone for no reason: "Why are you so stupid."
The teacher smiled: "I also have people who I want to protect all my life, we are no different."
He took out a dagger from his arms, cut a cut in the palm of his hand, dipped his hands in the blood and drew a circle on the ground, turned over Mo Ran's palm, and stuffed him with a silver vial: "Inside is my blood , can help you bring Master back, take care."
Mo Ran held the silver bottle and walked into the formation. In the dazzling golden glow, he looked at Shi Mei's gradually blurred face, with complicated emotions.He didn't know what mood he should use to treat him. There were so many things in the past and present that he couldn't figure out.
After the dizziness, Mo Ran opened his eyes, and the wind in front of him was light, it was the red lotus water pavilion.The memory of the previous life surged, Mo Ran clenched his teeth, and his fingers clenched into fists.He didn't have much emotion, looked up and looked around, and suddenly saw a man in white sitting in the pavilion, it was Chu Wanning.
Mo Ran's heart hung in an instant, and he approached quickly, calling out in a trembling voice: "Wan Ning."
Chu Wanning turned back when he heard the sound, and saw Mo Ran, the teacup in his hand fell to the ground, and fell to pieces on the floor tiles glowing with golden light.Mo Ran rushed over and hugged Chu Wanning tightly, as if he was going to rub him into his body, and thought of something, he held Chu Wanning's shoulders and checked his whole body around: "How, is there no injury here?"
The corners of Chu Wanning's eyes were red, and he was speechless in a daze.In the past few days, he has not been able to sleep peacefully. For a while, it was the lost child, and for a while it was Mo Ran, buzzing in his mind, making his heart riddled with holes.He shook his head slightly: "I...everything is fine, how about you, why are there injuries everywhere, I thought..."
Mo Ran didn't give him a chance to continue, he held Chu Wanning's side cheek and kissed him, and then covered his lips, his forehead, and his hair.Chu Wanning's ears were red quietly, and he was a little out of breath after being kissed. He gently pinched the hand holding Mo Ran's shoulder, motioning him to let go of himself.
Mo Ran let go of Chu Wanning, the corners of his lips raised uncontrollably, and he closed the hair on the side of Chu Wanning's ear, and was about to say something, when a silver light flashed in front of his eyes.He dodged it sideways, and the sword immediately came out of its sheath, and the two swords collided in the air, making a clear and clear sound, killing intent was everywhere, and it was Ta Xianjun who came.
"stop!"
Tianwen wrapped the two swords tightly with shining light, and separated the two sides with brute force. The three martial arts caused the water in the pond to turbulent, and the lotus flowers in the pond swayed.
Stepping Xianjun sneered: "What are you doing here, to die?"
Mo Ran didn't want to get entangled with him too much, he held Chu Wanning's hand and wanted to leave, Ta Xianjun was annoyed, his eyes were red, Jian Guang slashed over and rolled up several thick smoke, he grabbed Mo Ran's collar: "You count What, why do you say take it away!!"
Mo Ran looked at him, more heartache than anger.He looked into those dark purple eyes, and said word by word: "You once had it too, and you destroyed it all with your own hands."
Ta Xianjun laughed wildly as if he had heard something interesting, and his eyes were covered with a cloud of darkness: "Where are you more noble than this seat, everything that this seat has done, you did it yourself Is it down!"
Stepping Xianjun flicked Mo Ran's hand away, and approached slowly, the corners of his eyes and brows were filled with unconcealable anger: "I hate the appearance of a gentleman like you the most. I am a sinner in this world, what about you?! Mo Zongshi , Don’t forget, Chu Wanning was forced to death by you, and you slaughtered this world! Whatever I have done, you have done.”
Mo Ran's temples throbbed suddenly, as if the scar hidden in the bottom of his heart was uncovered little by little by a blunt knife.He never felt that he was a good person, as if he was paying his debts with shackles on his back. Although he was praised by the world, he couldn't escape the voice of accusation in his heart.He thought of the person in the cold water of the South China Sea who couldn't come back, the person who lost his last ray of soul for him, his heart was in severe pain, and fine sweat oozes from his forehead.
"Shut up!" Chu Wanning yelled, "The past, why bother to mention it again."
Ta Xianjun smiled, with a sullen look on his face: "Don't mention it again?"
He looked at Chu Wanning and gritted his teeth: "Yes, you love Master Mo, not this seat, never."
"He paid a lot for you, what about me? This seat has never got you...never."
He let go of the ink burning fiercely, recalled it and couldn't return, the hand holding the sword trembled faintly: "Go away, don't come back again, this seat feels disgusting."
Chu Wanning looked at the back of Ta Xianjun going away, those eyes soaked with anger fell into his heart, but it seemed to be filled with incomparable grievances, the more grievances, the more hurtful words he wanted to say, like this Generally, you can make yourself less embarrassed and less heartbroken.Chu WanNing clenched her lower lip, looked back at Mo Ran, gently held his hand, Mo Ran clenched his backhand, tremblingly said: "Master...I..."
Chu Wanning touched his lips and shook his head gently: "Let's go, let's go."
Mo Ran restarted the door with the blood given by the teacher, and the scene of the red lotus water pavilion gradually became farther away in the distortion of the light, and even the person in the black robe disappeared.
In the bamboo forest, Shi Mo wiped the blood from his hands, brought the re-fried medicine into the wooden house, gently put it on the table beside him, and gently opened his lips: "You still need to drink the medicine, otherwise how can the body hold on. "
Hua Binan curled up and didn't look at him, her voice seemed to be soaked in snow: "What are you doing to me so well, I know, you look down on me in your heart."
"Anyone in this world may look down on you, but I won't," Shi Mei paused, "Never."
Hua Binan smiled self-deprecatingly: "Don't you blame me for lying to you and using you?"
"We are the same people." Shi Mei stirred the medicine in the bowl and blew gently, "I'm not much cleaner than you."
Hua Binan coughed violently, Shi Mei helped him up, wiped the blood from the corner of his lips, and took the medicine in the bowl: "Drink it, it won't be hot anymore."
Hua Binan's lips didn't have a trace of blood. He looked at Shi Mei: "Graduate students of Death Gate and Zhenlong Chess have already consumed a lot of energy. If it weren't for your energy, I would have died a long time ago."
Shi Mei looked at Hua Binan, a little sad: "Don't say that..."
Hua Binan smiled: "I can't make it, don't I still have you, I don't belong to this world, you belong."
The teacher was stunned: "Me?"
Hua Binan stood up, walked in front of Shi Mo, smoothed the broken hair on the side of his ear, and then patted the back of Shi Mo's neck with strength in his hands.Shi Mo's shoulders trembled, and he snorted softly and fell into Hua Binan's arms. Hua Binan held Shi Mo's thin shoulders, and the gentle golden light slowly flowed from his hands into Shi Mo's body like a stream, scattered The long hair faded from black little by little, and was dyed with white spots.
He leaned against Shi Mo's ear and said softly, "I'm sorry, but I still let you fall into this quagmire in the end."
"Live well, take them home, take you...and me, home together."
Hua Binan's body turned into nothingness. He doesn't belong to this world, but he doesn't belong to the previous life either. People in the two lives can't tolerate him.He has never enjoyed much warmth in his life. He wears a gentle mask and lives carefully. Others can at least cry wantonly, but he can't even shed a tear.He had never lived for himself, but he could choose to die for himself, and he finally obeyed his will.
The sun at sunrise was warm and soft, and through the wooden windows, it fell into the room like pieces of gold.Mo Ran hugged Chu Wanning, who was still sleeping, and kissed his forehead. Chu Wanning opened his eyes slightly, saw Mo Ran's gentle eyes, and fell asleep peacefully.Mo Ran caressed Chu Wanning's eyebrows, and the warm touch of the skin gave him a little truth.He felt that he had missed a lot, even a child, Wan Ning and his child.He and Chu Wanning spent a long period of stable days in Nanping Mountain. It seemed that the storm stopped, and the rushing water finally passed through the beach full of hidden reefs and turned into a gentle lake.
There were footsteps at the door, and a familiar voice said, "Excuse me, is anyone there?"
Mo Ran lightly opened Chu Wanning, tucked the quilt for him, and walked to the door lightly. The person who came was not someone else, but the teacher who had disappeared for a long time.
Mo Ran frowned subconsciously: "What are you doing here?"
The teacher smiled: "Don't worry, Ah Ran, I have no malice... This time I came to tell you that I am leaving."
Mo Ran looked at him, and the hand holding the door frame was slightly white: "Where are you going?"
Shi Mei paused, and when he looked at him again, there was a gentle light in his eyes: "I can't talk to you for the time being, I know that I...is annoying, but I still want to say goodbye to you and Master."
"Wanning is still sleeping, I'll wake him up."
"No," Shi Mo stopped him, "I have something to say to you alone."
The teacher took a deep breath and looked at Mo Ran: "The other earthly you are the same as Hua Binan, and now that Hua Binan is dead, he will also..."
Mo Ran's heart sank, the corners of his lips were a little stiff, and his voice was so soft that he could hardly hear it: "When did it happen?"
"Just a few days ago, I had half of Hua Binan's cultivation base, so I used this cultivation base to protect his soul." Shi Mo handed a soul-locking bag embroidered with amulets to Mo Ran, "I think , it's better to give it to you, after all he... is also you."
Mo Ran took it carefully, slowly clenched it tightly, looked at the teacher and said softly: "What about you."
The teacher smiled suddenly, his eyebrows were still so gentle and clean, like spotless snow, "This is our last face, Ah Ran."
"Take good care of Master, what I owe you, I will pay it back in the next life."
Shi Mo bent his lips slightly, turned and walked into the depths of the bamboo forest.I don't know if it's an illusion, Mo Ran seems to have seen a tear falling from the corner of his eye, which is as bright and moving as broken gold in the sun.
Mo Ran looked back, Chu Wanning was wearing a thin coat, standing barefoot at the door of the bedroom, looking at the soul lock bag in his hand.
"you're awake."
Chu WanNing nodded: "I heard it all."
Mo Ran sighed, walked over and hugged Chu Wanning tightly: "I'm still here, I'll be with you."
Chu Wanning bent his lips, didn't speak, just closed his eyes, and reached out to hug Mo Ran.
The clear sunlight stretched and overflowed, reflecting the shadows of the two people very gently, and the quiet and indulging time flowed slowly, sweeping away all the chill and silence.
It's easy to throw love at a young age, but it's hard to find old friends, it's easy to disperse, and it's hard to reunite.Begonia looks like spring again every year, and the bright moon never changes from the old year. In the end, whoever is guarding one person will go to life and death together.
----------------------
Going to Ming started in early April and ended today. Thank you very much for your company over the past few months, and there will be a few episodes later.Many things happened in the mid-term of writing, exams, breakups, internships, doubts and disapproval of myself, all kinds of unsatisfactory things overwhelmed me, and I often sat in front of the screen for a long time but could not write a word. Caused the progress to be very slow.No one unfollowed me when I went too far, I was really touched.
Going to Life is 6w characters in length. Although it is not too long, it is the first story I have written down in its entirety.It has many shortcomings, the writing is not good enough, the plot is not compact and attractive enough, it is even clichéd and childish, and it does not have too many rhetoric skills. It may be bland and tasteless, but I still love it.I always think that everyone is willing to spend precious time to read what I write, whether you like it or not, it is an affirmation of me.I am very grateful to have read it, and even, you who are watching my nonsense, I am honored to die to leave a little trace in your life, maybe it has brought you a little joy Or moving, if anything, it makes a little bit of sense.
Thank you and wish you a happy day.
