Jiang Li

Chapter 26

"Master, I'm here to see you."

On the bleak hilltop of Baiyun Peak, a young man in red knelt on the ground on one knee.

In front of him was a solitary grave, and beside the grave stood a solitary tombstone with the words "Jiang Lizhi's tomb", the eldest son of the Jiang family, written on it.

The sun is setting on the western mountains, and the mountains are silent.The wind blowing from the grass and trees in all directions made the young man's robes look thinner and emaciated.

He stretched out a bloodshot pale hand from his red sleeve to caress the cold tombstone gently and lovingly, brushing off the dust and grass clippings on the tombstone.

When the night comes and the wind blows, there are occasional nighthawks screaming from the dark mountains in the distance, adding a bit of sadness and gloom to the deep forest in the evening.

"Master, when you were alive, you always hoped to be a mountain orchid that was born in the world, unfettered between heaven and earth, and washed by the breeze. I will bury you in this mountain stream and valley, living in Yanchuan Temple, facing east Looking up at the rising sun, you can touch the Canli Well, and you can see all the flowers in Chang'an by bowing your head, do you like it?"

"Master, are you cold? Don't be afraid that I will hold you."

Zhan Yu muttered to himself.He leaned forward and embraced the tombstone, rubbing his cheeks against the words engraved on the tombstone, like a child, full of admiration and attachment.

It's too hard to live alone, only by the side of his beloved young master can he get a little bit of warmth.Even though the young master has been buried in Jiuquan for a long time and has long since died of mud worms, but even so, the young master is still his living belief, and those good memories with the young master are the spiritual pillars that support him to survive and avenge his enemies.

With an infatuated expression, a hoarse and rough voice, and a sleepy tone, he said something almost crazy and terrifying:

"Master, I have prepared a gift for you. The ones you will definitely like are those you loved the most during your lifetime! I captured them all and locked them in a secret place! But there is still one thing missing, the most important one Just wait for the number of people to gather, and when the time is up, I will burn them all and send them to you! I will not let you be alone!"

There was a noise in the grass behind him.

Zhan Yu turned half of his face sideways, a hint of ferocity flashed in his dead black eyes, and he silently reached for the long sword.

All the bugs that disturbed his time alone with the young master should be damned!

A pair of silver military boots crossed the dry grass, walked out of the darkness, and stopped in front of the tombstone.

"This tomb is Xiao Li?!"

Under the moonlight, the tall and slender young officer stood there in a daze with his pupils constricted.A silver armor shone with a piercing white light.He held his breath, straightened his back, and stood there in a very stiff posture.The eyes under the mask passed through thousands of love and hatred, and landed on the tombstone in Zhan Yu's arms in a daze.

It was as if he was so stunned and terrified that he could only stand there stiffly like a wooden sculpture of clay, his lips trembling, his breath trembling, but he couldn't say a word.

Holding a warm heart, he rushed forward with a timid and expectant heart. He thought he could see the person he was dreaming of, but he didn't expect that what he saw would be such a cold tombstone.

Cold, cold to the heart.

Zhan Yu looked up at him, and saw him staring blankly at the tombstone.After a long time, he slowly took off the mask, revealing a handsome face.

Zhan Yu recognized this face, he never thought that Gui Chenxue was as beautiful as the outside world rumored.In Zhan Yu's eyes, the most beautiful thing in the world is his young master, and Gui Chenxue is not even one ten-thousandth of the young master!

Everyone said that the first head of the palace guard was the most decisive, so cold and severe that he didn't have a trace of popularity.Who would have thought that Gui Chenxue's icy eyes would be filled with panic, regret, love, heartache, and sadness, so many complicated emotions?

Gui Chenxue took a step forward stiffly, his eyes were so panicked that his thoughts were confused.The moment he saw the tombstone, he felt his brain explode, and then he couldn't hear, see, or remember anything.

In all his perceptions, only the lonely grave in front of him remained.

"Xiao Li? No, it's impossible! You've always been fine, I know, this is fake, don't you try to scare me"

It was as if he had encountered something unbelievable, something terrifying that he had never seen in his life.He kept shaking his head trying to resist, trying to escape from everything in front of him.However, his legs can't help but just move forward, mechanically, towards the dark, collapsing and terrifying world ahead.

His feet were as heavy as dragging a thousand jin of shackles.He walked slowly, his heart sank continuously, and finally fell into the bottomless abyss of despair.

Seeing this, Zhan Yu laughed out loud.

Standing up in a leisurely manner, Zhan Yu smiled cruelly: "Master Gui, you have acted in front of my young master for ten years, why, haven't you acted enough? Are you addicted to acting?"

How affectionate are you pretending to be!How could a cold and decisive person like Gui Chenxue have a heart!If he has the heart, he should die!

Gui Chenxue ignored Zhan Yu.He didn't hear what Zhan Yu said at all.At this moment, in his eyes, the whole world disappeared, only the tombstone of that person stood alone in the cold wind and night, just like that, it crashed into his eyes rashly, and hit his chest hard!

"Impossible, I don't believe it." He shook his head in pain and confusion, trying to deny what he saw.But no matter how he tried to escape, the tombstone in front of him just stood quietly, as if mocking him mercilessly.

"Now you can see clearly! He's dead! He was killed by you!" Zhan Yu yelled and shoved Gui Chenxue hard.

Gui Chenxue shook, the blood on his face faded.

He looked at the tombstone in desperation, and felt a chill rapidly spread from the depths of his heart to his whole body, making him tremble all over, his hands and feet were cold, and the blood in his body stopped flowing.

On his icy handsome face, which never had a trace of waves, his calmness had completely collapsed, leaving only panic and fear.

He finally understood unavoidably that that person was really gone.

No matter how vast the world was, he could never find the figure of that person again.

No matter how long the river is, there will never be a day when the two will meet again.

No matter how many words he said, no matter how much guilt and remorse he had, that person would never know.

His Jiang Li is gone.

No matter how much he deceived himself and others, no matter how much he denied it, he could no longer deceive himself in the face of this lonely and cold tombstone.

Gui Chenxue finally collapsed completely.

He pushed away Zhan Yu who was trying to stop him, and stumbled towards the tombstone, but all the strength in his body seemed to be drained. When he was still five or six steps away from the tombstone, his feet suddenly softened and he gave a "plop" Kneel down before the tombstone.

He who pays the most attention to manners on weekdays has completely forgotten his identity and persistence at this moment.He hurriedly and embarrassingly kneeled to the tombstone, and touched the tombstone in a panic.Tears rolled down, but he didn't notice it.

Chen Xue, the peach blossoms first bloomed in Hanshan yesterday, would you like to go with me to enjoy the flowers?

plum bossom?Alright, if you are the plum blossom on my skirt, I will protect the boundless snow color for you.

With all due respect, isn't the double happiness you cut a bit ugly?

Chen Xue, you belong to me, right?

Chen Xue, do you really hate me that much?

Gui Chenxue, let's stop here, from now on, you and I will never see each other again!

All the bits and pieces of the past flooded into his heart, but the sweetness was no longer there, and what was left was only endless regrets, to be tasted by him alone in the icy cold night!

You know, he's the hardest.You said you wanted to take back the things of the Gui family, so he abolished his cultivation and returned all the profound arts he learned from the Gui family's exercises to you.He is also the most soft-hearted, even before he dies, he doesn't allow me to avenge him, and he doesn't allow me to kill you!He misses you till he dies!

Thinking of him until death? !

Think of him as an ungrateful, heartless liar!

Xiao Li, Xiao Li, Xiao Li!

"what!"

Too much guilt, too much yearning, but I don't know where to start.Gui Chenxue screamed and wailed heart-piercingly, her bloodshot eyes fixed on the name engraved on the tombstone, calling that haunting name over and over again in her heart.

Why is this happening!He thought about thousands of possibilities, and even thought about how he would respond if Jiang Li raised the sword of revenge at him.But never expected that the two would meet each other in such a life-and-death manner!

He would rather die by Jiang Li's sword than accept Jiang Li's death in front of him!

I still remember that day when the robe was cut off, Jiang Li asked him if the covenant with him counted.He knew that Jiang Li was looking forward to it so much, but he still said cruel things to him against his will.

I don't like you, Jiang Li, I never liked you.

He still can't forget Jiang Li's hurt expression at that moment!

Such a proud Jiang Li showed such a fragile expression for the first time!

Later, he secretly went to see Jiang Li several times.But what about meeting?Since that day, has there been any good words between the two of them?

He is too cowardly!Don't dare to face up to your feelings!It is he who has been escaping from his own heart!

Gui Chenxue rested her forehead on Jiang Li's name, trembling uncontrollably in the miserable, hoarse cry.

Weeping and crying, he suddenly raised his head and looked around in panic, but the surroundings were empty, there was nothing, and he didn't even know what he was looking for.

Even Zhan Yu next to him could feel the heavy sadness emanating from his body.

But so what?

Zhan Yu sneered, and at the same time retreated a few steps calmly, his hand slowly moved towards the long sword obliquely inserted beside the tombstone, killing intent flashed in his eyes!

However, Gui Chenxue's next move interrupted his plan.

Gui Chenxue suddenly threw herself on the mound behind the tombstone, and started digging up the mound like crazy!Defiance of description!

Zhan Yu turned pale with shock!Hurry up and stop him!

"What are you doing! Gui Chenxue! Stop it! You killed him, why don't you let him die! You bastard!"

Gui Chenxue raised his face suddenly, and Zhan Yu exchanged a glance with him, his heart skipped a beat for no reason!

Gui Chenxue's eyes are too scary!Those tears-soaked eyes were dark and gloomy, revealing a biting cold despair and emptiness, as if his love had been taken away but he was powerless to stop it.He looks like a beast that will eat anyone!Ready to die with anyone who tries to get close to him.

Gui Chenxue has always been so calm and rational.Once out of control, it is especially scary.

"He's afraid of the dark."

As if explaining her behavior, Gui Chenxue lowered her eyelids and murmured sadly, "I can't let him stay down there alone, it's so cold and dark down there, he'll be scared, Xiao Li, don't be afraid, I'm here to pick you up!"

Then he broke free from Zhan Yu's hand and continued to dig the grave, the dust was flying up, and his clean silver armor and white clothes became filthy and filthy.

He didn't dare to use his saber because he was afraid of scratching Jiang Li, so he could only use his hands.He crazily pawed at the pile of grave soil, his nail was broken, and the broken part was deeply buried in the tender flesh, his finger was cut by sharp gravel, and the blood on his hand was sticky with mud and sand, but he didn't care about it anymore.

While digging, he kept muttering to himself, and he didn't know who he was talking to, but he kept repeating: "Xiao Li, don't be afraid, I'm here, I'm here to pick you up, I'll take you home, I will never leave you again"

Zhan Yu was almost pissed off by his inexplicable idea!

What kind of madness is this!Digging graves is disrespectful to the dead!

Tolerable or unbearable!

Zhan Yu drew out his long sword with a "crash", and mercilessly slashed at Gui Chenxue's back!

Gui Chenxue grasped the sword as soon as she raised her hand.The sharp long sword pressed a stream of blood in his palm.But he just looked at Zhan Yu coldly, his face wet with tears was indifferent.

"Don't disturb me." With a flick of his hand, Zhan Yu and his sword flew a few feet away!

Zhan Yu fell to the ground, startled, angry and unwilling.

He was no longer Gui Chenxue's opponent when he was completely victorious, and now that his internal injuries had not healed, he was even more powerless to stop Gui Chenxue.

"It's you who bothered me! Bothered me and the young master!"

Gui Chenxue gave him a cold look, bent over and continued digging.

Zhan Yu trembled with anger.He raised his sword several times to stab Gui Chenxue, but was thrown away one by one by Gui Chenxue, no matter how many times, he could not affect the opponent at all.

In the end, Zhan Yu almost lost his temper.He clearly realized the gap between himself and the other party, no matter how many times, he couldn't stop Gui Chenxue from going crazy.

In the extreme exhaustion and weakness, Zhan Yu finally couldn't hold on, closed his eyes unconsciously, and fell into darkness.

When a thunderstorm in the sky suddenly woke him up, the sky had already brightened up.

Rumble

The heavy rain poured down in an instant, flooding the winding trail up the mountain.

Bean-sized raindrops hit the muddy ground, creating countless small holes.

Soon, the muddy water on the ground gathered into countless small streams, gurgling and flowing.

Zhan Yu suddenly jumped up and looked towards the tombstone.

I saw that the pile of graves that had been dug up in a mess last night had been covered up again.

In front of the tombstone, there was a young man sitting slumped and kneeling.

The young man knelt and sat sideways to him, staring straight at the tombstone in front of him.

The rain swooped down from the cloudy clouds, hitting the young man's shining silver armor, staining his luxurious white robe, and wet his messy hair as gray as snow. long hair.
