Volume 26, Chapter 3 Revenge (12)
Lei Meng took the order first, and I walked behind him with my hands, silently listening to the faint sound of the flowing water.
The sound of water is sometimes light and sometimes fast, lingering in my heart, warm and blurry. It seems like on the sea in the middle of the night, in the sound of flying swords, and in the rippling waves of the Emerald River.
That is the sound of passing by.
"If there were no heavy rain or floods that night," I heard your voice, and the last drop of water rolling down from your hair, quietly shattering.
The sound is not loud, but it is the heaviest echo in life.
If at that time, if you were standing by the Emerald River, if you turned around and walked towards the top of Kunpeng Mountain, if I could give you the answer you wanted before the flood was flooded, I could hear those sounds, bit by bit, never return, and I would no longer be the boy you want to wait for.
I walked through the cave, through the net of heaven and earth, through the sad and sad mountains and rivers of the blue and white mountains, and through the deepest and most hidden wounds in my heart.
I came to you, but I was getting farther and farther away from you. My steps did not stop. This is the loneliest road in my life.
But if, there is really if, this road has no end, can I keep listening, listening to the sound that never returns, and listening to the sound that will never hear the answer?
This road is too long and love is too short.
Who can really hear the passing sounds clearly?
The thunder suddenly retreated quietly, and I stopped and looked forward.
The dusk is vast and the lake is blurry. I see Gan Ning's lonely and pale back standing in the water pavilion, like a piece of snow that cannot melt.
The entire Biluo Fu was surrounded by overlapping magic arrays, as if it was in a transparent large cover. The roar of the magic array was heard everywhere, and the cover trembled and shone with dazzling light. You could see the twisted and roaring void outside. The black storm rolled up sharp lightning, like a crazy tiger rushing on the magic array, exploding balls of light and fire.
Gan Ningzhen was also shining brightly by the light and fire. A burst of darkness seemed to shake in the collapse of the sky and the earth.
I looked at Gan Ningzhen from afar, motionless.
Just looking at me quietly, I didn't move my steps. If I could stay for you once.
I don’t know how long it took, but it seemed like an hour, and it seemed like a day. Actually, I don’t care how long it took.
Gan Ningzhen suddenly turned around and saw me, and suddenly became obsessed.
I wanted to speak, but I didn't know what to say. In the end, I just listened silently to the endless roar of the magic circle, as if shocked and thundered. All the sounds were drowned out.
"Is it really you?" After a while, I heard Gan Ning's real voice, as if she was floating gently from the dim lake, making people's heart tremble.
I still can't give an answer to such a simple question.
What is me? What kind of me are you in love with? Do you know it yourself? I stood there, lowered my eyes. Looking at the reflection of Gan Ningzhen shining and extinguishing in the lake.
If all you fall in love with is just a reflection.
Gan Ning really seemed to have had a premonition, and the smile that had just opened frozen on the corner of her mouth.
"Long time no see, Ning Zhen." After a while, I whispered, "Before I came, I hesitated for a long time. Should I come?"
Gan Ning looked at me uneasyly. Her voice was like a sad and clear lake: "What's wrong with you?"
"Ning Zhen, I came here to kill Gongzi Ying." I raised my head and said with difficulty. I don't want to deceive each other by lies. I also know that Ning Zhen does not know the decisive battle between Gongzi Ying and Bichaoge, but instead of letting Ning Zhen struggle in a dilemma, it is better to hate me completely and completely break up.
"I want to use you to find him."
Gan Ning stared at me blankly, as if she hadn't come back to her senses. She seemed to have not heard what I said clearly.
"I'm sorry, Ning Zhen." I took a deep breath, "I'll let you kill Gongzi Ying with your own hands."
Gan Ning seemed to have frozen. After a long time, she woke up like a dream. She barely held the pillar of the water pavilion and asked in a trembling voice: "Why? What is it for?"
I was silent for a while and replied, "For the sake of the Tao."
"For the sake of the word" Gan Ningzhen murmured to herself, and suddenly she laughed bitterly, her laughter so light that she could hardly hear it.
"I'm disappointing you, Ning Zhen. I'm actually the same as your father. No, I'm more cruel and more determined than him." I took a deep breath, inhaled, then took steps and walked slowly towards Gan Ning Zhen.
The string was poked out like a sharp and ruthless thorn.
The fire shone, the roar of lightning, Gan Ning's pale hands clutched the pillar tightly, trembling in the void where the storm was raging behind it.
I walked over and walked all the way to Gan Ningzhen.
I had never seen such a weak Ning Zhen curled up behind the pillar, like a drowning person holding on to the only thing, and his fingers were deeply embedded in the wooden beam.
After hesitating for a moment, I lowered my head and gently pressed against Gan Ningzhen's cheek. Perhaps because of the stimulation, Gan Ning's skin was cold, but her cheeks were burning like fire.
"Don't do this, okay?" Gan Ningzhen said as if she was murmured, her black and wet eyes widened, and her eyelashes were trembling weakly.
"That year, I watched you go further and further by the Emerald River, and I suddenly regret it. I really regretted it all these years. Why didn't I keep you there? Why didn't I stop you from going to Kunpeng Mountain? Why didn't I tell you that, in fact, I like you very much."
I stretched out my arms and gently hugged Gan Ningzhen's soft body. We leaned against the ancient pillars of the water pavilion, and the light and fire of the void shone on our faces.
"I like it very much. But why, why did you say such things as soon as you come? Are you angry with me? Are you angry with me? Didn't you come to Kunpeng Mountain to save you? I've been here, I'm willing to be with you."
"Stop talking." I hugged Gan Ningzhen tightly, and the whole world seemed to be broken with us.
The world is trapped in endless darkness.
"I didn't expect that when we met again, it was already the moment when the world was destroyed. Ning Zhen, things in this world are ultimately just reflections in the water and will always die out." After a long time, I whispered, staring at Ning Zhen's eyes that seemed to be flooded by a black flood.
"Just like now, the Emerald River is broken, and the rainforest is broken."
"Let me tell you the story of Osai." After a long time, I heard my empty and lonely voice. "If there were no heavy rain or flood that night, Osai would not have been able to wait for that beloved woman."
"Because the woman had already left before that night. She had to go to a very far place and walk a very lonely road. She had been looking for that place all her life, and she would not stay for the sake of her tail." I blinked, and it seemed that the cold lake water was soaked inside.
"The woman kept walking and searching. Maybe she would never find that place. Maybe that place had been flooded. But if she didn't look for it, she wouldn't know."
"Maybe Osho will finally understand that what he fell in love with was just the reflection of the woman in the water. Perhaps the woman had already returned before the flood flooded Weisho."
"No matter what I waited, or whether I came back in the end, I wanted to say to you, thank you."
"Thank you, I've been waiting."
"Thank you for letting me hear those sounds again on such a lonely road."
"Thank you for letting me fall in love with you."
(The last chapter is about 2 days, and the content of the last few chapters will not be sloppy. The book will be finished soon, and all the damn things will die, and our Zhibeiyou will be broken. But I still need to spoil it, the protagonist and the third heroine will not die!)
Chapter completed!
