Chapter 18

Twelve was not in the room, Shen Ye went down the stairs to the front desk on the first floor, where the middle-aged woman who was guarding there was sitting beside the burning charcoal basin, knitting wool boredly.Seeing Shen Ye coming down, he warmly greeted him about his physical condition, and then told him that the tenant who was with him just went out.

Shen Ye walked out of the hostel. It was a clear and windless winter night with no clouds in the night sky. It was clear and deep, like an endless deep sea. The moon shaped like a half copper coin floated in the middle of the sky. appearance.

The air is clean and cold, and the moonlight is spotless. Under such moonlight, everything you see is clearly visible, and you can clearly see the lines on your palms when you open your palms.

On the outskirts of the township is a breakwater built along the coastline. Twelve stood there alone, looking at the distant line where the sea and the sky meet.

"It's so late, why don't you go to sleep?" Shen Ye walked up the stairs to the embankment and stood beside Twelve.

Twelve was taken aback for a moment, came back to his senses, and hurriedly bowed and saluted: "Master High Priest."

He put on ordinary clothes and took off the mask. His face was fair and his jaw was pointed. His facial features looked pretty on their own, but when combined they looked ordinary. Only his eyes were shining brightly, which was quite clear and moving. smell.

Shen Ye's face became paler under the moonlight, and Twelve said worriedly: "Master High Priest, it's cold in the night, your body..."

"It doesn't matter." Shen Ye waved his hand slightly, and looked in the direction Twelve just stared at. It was the location of Longbingyu. The distance was too far. Across the hazy moonlight and the vast mist, he couldn't even see a faint line of outline. .

"I'm no longer the high priest, so I'm free from these formalities. You can call me by my name directly."

Twelve shook his head resolutely, raised his right hand to press on his chest, leaned back again, and said solemnly: "You will always be the high priest in the hearts of the Lieshan people."

Shen Ye stopped entangled in this topic, and turned to ask: "Tong came to Longbing Island before me and Xie Yi, why didn't you recognize him?"

Twelve put his hands together in front of him, and lowered his eyes to watch the rising and receding tide under the breakwater: "Since Hitomi-sama has been reincarnated, the past is gone, and everything starts again, so why let him be burdened by the past. Besides, I was a dead thing thousands of years ago, and I will always be a dead thing in the future, and I shouldn't have anything to do with living people."

Shen Ye sneered: "It should be said whether you are too open-minded or too hard-pressed."

Twelve eyes reflected the swaying moonlight in the water waves, and calmly said: "Whether you can see it or not, too much time has passed."

Shen Ye refused to comment, remained silent for a while, and looked at Twelve solemnly: "Don't talk about gossip, I came to you so late because I wanted you to do something for me, and only you can do it."

Twelve listened to his words carefully, straightened his back unknowingly, and his expression turned serious: "Please give orders from the high priest."

"To deal with the heart demon Li Ying, I have already thought of a perfect strategy. If I can seal him first, and add the divine sword Zhaoming, then it will be a breeze to destroy him in one fell swoop."

Twelve felt that this method was feasible at first, but it was very difficult when he thought about it carefully. He muttered: "The power of gods and demons is too strong, and ordinary sealing techniques may not be effective."

"You don't have to worry about this," Shen Ye said in a firm tone, as if he had a plan in his chest: "I will teach you the seal of the butterfly, and then you can cast the seal on me."

"Cast on...you?" Twelve was startled, looked at Shen Ye in confusion, and his voice was also a bit hesitant: "The stronger the sealing technique, the more intense the backlash, my lord high priest... "

Shen Ye frowned, and said coldly: "You don't need to know, just do as I say."

Twelve lowered his head, pursed his lips tightly into a straight line, suddenly raised his eyes to look directly at Shen Ye, and said resolutely, "Twelve dare not disobey the orders of the High Priest, but Twelve is bold enough to ask the High Priest to make it clear." The seal of the butterfly has a backlash effect. At that time, I will contend with the heart demon Li Ying, and life and death are only a thin line. If the seal is activated, if there is any change, it will be better for me to prepare in advance so that I will not be confused."

Shen Ye breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the first sentence, and originally wanted to spend more time persuading Twelve, but unexpectedly, he was so obedient and obedient, which saved him a lot of effort.He weighed Twelve's words in his mind, and felt that Twelve's scruples were indeed justified. Once the seal of the butterfly was activated, his body and spirit would be devoured by the butterfly. He will fall into panic and miss the good opportunity to kill the demon Li Ying.

Shen Ye then spoke eloquently, telling Twelve everything about the Seal of the Underworld Butterfly and the effect of backlash.

After Twelve listened carefully, he didn't express too much when he heard the fate of the host of the butterfly butterfly. I don't know when the demon will come, and our time is only a few dozen days at most, which may be too short."

"No need to worry, Cangming was sleepy at that time, and in order to prevent the heart demon from being noticed, I could only transfer the spiritual power into Cangming's body bit by bit, but now I have nothing to worry about, I can use the power of divine blood to make Mingdie grow up as soon as possible. cocoon."

"The high priest is really thinking about Zhou Xiang," Twelve nodded in admiration, quickly raised his eyes to glance behind Shen Ye, then lowered his head quickly, his expression became a little subtle: "But this matter is very important, does the high priest need to know?" Lord Broken Priest?"

Shen Ye didn't notice Twelve's small movements, but shook his head decisively: "This is my decision, he doesn't need..."

"Why not?"

Xie Yi's voice suddenly sounded not far behind him, with a faint chill: "This kind of life-and-death decision, why do you make your own decision without consulting me?"

Shen Ye suddenly turned his head in shock. A few steps away from the breakwater, Xie Yi's figure slowly appeared under the moonlight, gradually turning from a translucent light blue shadow into a solid body. He walked over and met Shen Ye. Ye Jing looked suspiciously in his eyes, and said in a calm tone: "I woke up as soon as you moved. I thought you couldn't sleep and wanted to get up, but I didn't expect you to cast a sleepy spell on me. I felt something was wrong. I secretly used spiritual power to dissolve it, and then used Hidden Gu followed all the way, and he really received a big surprise."

Xie Yi stood still two steps in front of Shen Ye, raised his right hand, and a black beetle with a faint light slowly crawled from the back of his hand to his fingertips.

How could he have something like hidden Gu?

Shen Ye stared at Twelve in a blink of an eye, startled and angry.

Twelve lowered his head submissively, coughed lightly, and explained: "When I came here with the teleportation array of Longbingyu, I prepared a hidden Gu to prevent people from bumping into me, so I didn't expect the priest of the Pojun The adults still keep it."

Xie Yi took the Gu worm back into a bamboo tube, put it back in his pocket, nodded to Twelve and said, "I have something to discuss with Ah Ye, can you please avoid it for a while."

Twelve immediately bowed and saluted: "Two adults chat slowly, Twelve will leave first."

The magic circle under his feet circulated, and as the aura disappeared, Twelve's figure dissipated in the air like mist. When he looked again, he had already fled far away to the door of the hotel more than ten meters away. He walked in without looking back.

Xie Yi watched Twelve's back disappear into the hotel gate, turned back to look straight at Shen Ye, his eyes were extremely cold and sharp, like the reflection of a sharpened knife blade: "A Ye, explain?"

Shen Ye's lips moved, and finally swallowed the words "Do you have any doubts about my resolution" that would only make the other party more furious.

He is no longer the high priest of Liuyue City, and Xie Yi is no longer his disciple or subordinate. Now, Xie Yi is asking him for an explanation as a partner.It was impossible for Shen Ye to insist on going his own way and force him to accept any decision he made.

Shen Ye frowned, he never needed and was not used to explaining anything to others, he was a little annoyed by the troubles caused by this change of identity, but finally said in a gentle tone: "Li Ying has been with Ju Mu Branch Fusion, also took away part of my divine power, his power is unfathomable, even if the three of us join forces, plus the sword Zhaoming, there is no certainty of victory. We must use the smallest sacrifice in exchange for victory, and take me as a ghost The butterfly host came to seal Liying, this is the best way at the moment."

Xie Yi listened quietly, his eyes were dark, like a wetland with hidden water veins, he looked at Shen Ye, nodded, and smiled instead of anger: "Okay, if that's the case, let the twelve seals of the underworld butterfly Cast it on me too."

Shen Ye trembled all over, brushed his hands unconsciously, and said sharply: "Xie Yi, you are crazy! With your ability, how to make the butterfly cocoon in a short period of time, I alone is enough..."

"How do you know if you don't try it?" Xie Yi interrupted him, his face seemed to be covered with a layer of ice, and every line became cold and strange, he said lightly: "Your strength is not what it used to be, It may be more reliable to seal the inner demon with the power of two people."

Shen Ye's face was snow-white, and even his voice changed: "How dare you—"

"I dare not!"

There was a cold light in Xie Yi's eyes, and his voice suddenly rose: "Thousands of years ago, I dared to betray Liuyue City and turned against your master and apprentice, so now I dare not die with you?"

A rhetorical question was heard, Shen Ye was trembling with anger, his pale lips trembled open, he couldn't say a word for a long time, and after a long time, he said hoarsely: "Xie Yi, you are fine...you..."

"A Ye," Xie Yi suddenly called his name, his expression softened, and he brought up an unrelated topic: "On Christmas night, it snowed all night."

Shen Ye looked at him in a daze, not knowing why.

Xie Yi said to himself: "If it's like in your dream, we can catch the last train to go home, and we will definitely see beautiful snow scenery along the way."

He smiled, but there was no smile in his eyes, and he was full of sadness: "In the end, I spent the night in the corridor of the hospital. It was snowing outside the window. Whether that scene is beautiful or not has nothing to do with me. The only thing I can feel is fear. I can't imagine how my world would change if I lost you that night."

"Fortunately, you survived," Xie Yi took a deep breath and said with a smile: "So I thought, it doesn't matter if you miss this year, we still have decades and dozens of Christmases, no matter what Wherever I spend it, no matter whether it snows or not, as long as I have you by my side, what I see before my eyes must be the best scene."

"Decades may not seem like a big deal to you, but to ordinary people, it is a lifetime." Xie Yi's voice was stagnant for a while, and sadness suddenly came from it. The scorching emotion in the upper chest faded a bit, and then the floating voice stabilized, and continued: "Aye, it is possible for us to be together in peace and happiness for the rest of our lives."

Xie Yi stretched out his hand, took Shen Ye's hand, pressed their palms together, and intertwined their fingers.

With the cold wind blowing in the middle of the night, the palms of both of them were cold and cold, but there was a tinge of warmth in the place where the skin touched.

Xie Yi's voice was light and soft, it sounded close to the ear, and flowed straight into the heart, rooted in the softest place.

"Aye, even though there are countless worst possibilities, we shouldn't easily give up the best possibility."

Shen Ye stared fixedly at the hands they held, Xie Yi watched him tenderly and eagerly.

The moonlight cast a frosty color on Shen Ye's side, the straight nose bridge, the straight thin lips, like ice sculptures and snow carvings.But it's not that difficult to soften it.

Shen Ye tightened his fingers, firmly clasped the back of Xie Yi's hand, and sighed as if giving up: "You're right."

It was as if an invisible burden had been suddenly lifted. Although exhausted, the heaviness was gone, and Shen Ye felt more relaxed than ever.

Thousands of years of time swirled into an invisible vortex before his eyes, and Shen Ye vaguely remembered that during the years as the high priest of Liuyue City, until he finally died alone, he still had a little hope.

Tong said that he asked for too much, and he also felt that a person who has committed a lot of crimes may not be worthy of extravagant hopes.

Unexpectedly, this thought, which had been abandoned by him long ago, would break through the dark soil after thousands of years, emitting a subtle and warm light.

In the vast floating world, maybe this time there really is such a person, who shares his heart and mind, and lives and dies with him.
