Lights on the other side

Chapter 62 Traces

Sheng Wuxia sat on the city wall of Jingzhou and watched the clouds come and go. He pulled out a grass beside him with his hands, and the wind blew, bringing the warmth of the sun.

The place where the execution was executed a few days ago was covered with new soil, leaving no trace.Birth and death, like clouds in the sky, never stay in the past.

That day, a few of them were discussing things in the lobby, when Pei Shi suddenly received a spiritual letter from someone, he rushed out without hesitation, leaving Heng Yue and the others in a daze, while Xue Danggui was calm and composed. He greeted several disciples and chased after him.Sheng Wuxia also chased after him, but he was no faster than Pei Shi's Huofeng. When he arrived in Jiuyun Prefecture, everything was over, and only two people had fallen to the ground.

The scene was shocking, against the yellow sand, the blood flowed all the way, congealed into dark red.

Li Ruoci died, Pei Shi hugged him expressionlessly, and walked forward step by step. After a few steps, he vomited a mouthful of blood and fell down together with the people in his arms.

He went up and saw that the people on the opposite side had all retreated, so he asked the silent disciples at the side to bring the two of them back to Jingzhou.

Li Ruoci had an arrow stuck in his body, his face was covered with blood, and he could no longer be seen as the handsome young man who played the xun that month.

He stretched out his hand and shattered the arrow on Li Ruoci's body. In order to prevent Pei Shi from irritating him again after he woke up, he asked someone to put Li Ruoci's body in a clean room.

"Hey." Someone behind him patted his shoulder.When he looked back, it was Xie Yun's fair face.

Xie Yun was sent by Wuxitian to take Pei Shi back.Pei Shi woke up quickly, and after waking up, he felt a little abnormal. He locked himself with Li Ruoci's body, without speaking or crying.Day and night, I don't know what to think.Sheng Wuxia and Xie Yun took turns looking for him, but he remained indifferent.

Xie Yun sat beside Sheng Wuxia, looked down, and asked, "Is that where he died?"

Sheng Wuxia nodded.

Xie Yun smiled and said, "I really didn't expect that."

Sheng Wuxia thought that Xie Yun and Li Ruoci seemed to have a good relationship before, so he said, "You're not sad, are you?"

"No."

"Then Pei Shi, what happened to him?"

Sheng Wuxia didn't know much about the relationship, and he vaguely felt that Pei Shi's reaction was not right, as if the sadness was a little too heavy.

"Who knows?"

Xie Yun said lightly, but he smiled immediately: "Maybe it's because I fell in love too deeply? I don't have this kind of past. I don't even have a person I like. How can I know what Pei Shi is thinking?"

"Ah."

"However, I don't think it's a big deal when people die. A person's life is no more than a moment, and no more than a few hundred years. There are piles of human bones buried under your feet. Their deaths are meaningless, and their lives may also be meaningless. Meaningless."

Sheng Wuxia was speechless for a moment, but felt that this was not what he wanted to hear.

Xie Yun said again: "It's really boring."

Hearing this, Sheng Wuxia said seriously: "If you have experienced a person's life and death, you will find that it is not an insignificant matter."

It will affect you for many, many years. Death brings a shadow, attached to the cup you usually use, on your old clothes, on the road you walk, and everything in the world becomes your hidden place.

Xie Yun also restrained his smile and said: "However, it is life and death that made me understand this."

Sheng Wuxia froze for a moment, then turned his head to look at him, the wind was blowing the yellow miscanthus, Xie Yun sat on it with his knees bent, he had a tranquil aura that seemed to blend into the background.

"I remember when I was very young, two thieves broke into my house to steal something and killed two people who were important to me. From then on, I felt that life was meaningless."

"Is that so? But everyone is different."

Seeing Sheng Wuxia's seriousness, Xie Yun quickly patted him on the shoulder and said, "Haha, don't be serious, just kidding, just kidding."

"Ah."

"By the way, I came to you to tell you to go back. There is no one else here except you, so it's dangerous."

Sheng Wuxia stood up together with Xie Yun, and said, "Is Pei Shi better?"

"It's still the same, ah, I have a headache, let Xue Danggui go back quickly, in this situation, is it possible that I should knock Pei Shi unconscious before carrying him back?"

After talking, the two went down the city wall and returned to Jingzhou Prefecture together.When passing by the room where Pei Shi was, they just glanced helplessly, and had no intention of going in again.But at this moment, the door was pushed open from inside.

Pei Shi came out from inside, with bloodstains from a few days ago still hanging on his clothes, and there was still sadness in his brows, but he pressed his bloodless lips tightly, revealing a forbearing calm.

The two stood there blankly, Xie Yun spoke first, but didn't know what to say: "Pei Shi, you..."

"Sorry for worrying you. I'm fine. I'll go back to Wuxitian tomorrow." Pei Shi simply said this sentence without any major ups and downs.

Sheng Wuxia tentatively asked, "Don't worry, Mr. Li, what do you plan to do?"

Pei Shi lowered his eyes and said, "I'll take it back."

"Okay." Xie Yun nodded.

Seeing that Pei Shi's footsteps were unsteady, Xie Yun and Sheng Wuxia hurriedly followed.

When passing by that door, Xie Yun still looked back. Through the carved wooden window, he saw Li Ruoci inside, with a calm face, very similar to the one he saw taking a nap when he was looking for someone to play chess at noon. Lin Ruoyan.

Finally sighing in a low voice, Xie Yun shook his head and followed the footsteps of the two people in front.

Some of the disciples in Jingzhou City knew Li Ruoci, and some didn't, but they were all puzzled by what happened to Jiuyun, and even a little angry at the same time.The one-year war has made everyone exhausted, and everyone has lost something more or less. They are not saints, and hatred is a perfectly normal emotion. They are undoubtedly happy to see their former enemies die tragically, but Pei Shi ignored their feelings at this moment.In their eyes, Pei Shi is a person like the breeze and the moon. For so many years, the head of the sect has not been able to retreat, and Pei Shi represents the entire Wuxitian.However, it was this person who, in front of everyone, staged a life-and-death farewell with a person with thousands of sins.

For them, this is undoubtedly a kind of betrayal, and it is impossible to tolerate it.So when Sheng Wuxia and Xie Yun let Pei Shi rest, they went out from the main entrance, only to find that there were many Wuxitian disciples gathered there.The whole thing was quiet, and the leader stepped forward and said, "I hope Senior Brother Pei can give us an explanation."

Xie Yun was stunned for a moment, and said, "Uh..."

Sheng Wuxia said, "Everyone...um..."

He looked back at Xie Yun, and Xie Yun was also looking at him. The two seemed to have a telepathy, hoping that the other party would give a good answer to the people below.Looking at each other, the two looked back in embarrassment, looking at the group of disciples who refused to leave below.

Xie Yun thought for a while, and said: "Haha, how do you say this? You say that people are not grass and trees, how can you be ruthless? Right? Pei Shi must be a person who values ​​love and righteousness. It's normal for people who are young to have feelings, and besides, they are former friends, Pei Shi is a very calm person, everyone, don't think wildly, Li Ruoci is not a evil concubine who will harm the country..."

Sheng Wuxia couldn't bear to listen to Xie Yun's nonsense, and finally couldn't listen anymore, and said: "Stop talking."

The group of disciples were also unbelievable, Xie Yun quickly changed his words and said: "I mean, if it were me, I would jump down and hug him. Do you think that if you are standing next to you now?" When a person is dead, will you restrain his bones?"

The person below said: "This is different, we are from the same sect, what is he?"

"It can be regarded as the same family... At least it used to be..." Xie Yun himself said without confidence.

Sheng Wuxia who was on the side said, "You want an explanation, but you just want to see Pei Shi's attitude, don't you?"

Someone nodded.

Sheng Wuxia said: "I can say that Pei Shi used to be Wuxitian, now he is Wuxitian, and he will be Wuxitian in the future."

His voice was not loud, but there was a firmness permeating it.Next, he said again: "Defend Lizhou to the core, rescue Chengzhou, set up defenses in Jiangcheng, and prop up the entire central war situation. Pei Shi has been trying to do his best. Now the situation is not good. Since Pei Shi's position is fine, We don’t need to pay too much attention to his personal grievances. We must know what we are facing now, and the important thing is, what should we do?”

After he finished speaking, there was silence below.

Sheng Wuxia knew that most of these people must be grateful for what Pei Shide had done, and those who heard these words would also feel grateful.

After a while, someone said: "We believe in you, and we also believe in Senior Brother Pei."

After struggling for a while, at night, the people gathered in front of the door almost dispersed.

Sheng Wuxia looked at the sky, and said to Xie Yun: "It's getting late, you go and clean up first, after all, you will be back tomorrow."

"it is good."

Before Xie Yun could take a few steps away, a disciple hurried out from inside.Xie Yun stopped, and Sheng Wuxia asked, "What's wrong?"

"The body, the body is gone."
