The moon is high in the sky, the night is as cool as water, and the heaven and earth are silent.
The nights in the far north are much colder than the emperor's, and further ahead, there is a snow-capped sky and snow.
Even so, it could not affect Helian Mingyue's current mood. Even if she was stepping on thick ice, it would not make her frown.
Because she is waiting, she wants to wait for a result.
What made her feel uneasy was that the young man in front of her had not made any progress since she made her unreasonable request. He seemed as if an old monk had entered trance, but also as if his soul was flying into the sky.
To accomplish something that she casually said was impossible.
The woman was unreasonable. Originally, she just wanted the young man in front of her to give up and say a few soft words to her so that she could calm down her current mood, and the two of them could sit down and talk reason.
She didn't expect that the guy in front of her would take him seriously, so it was her turn to feel uneasy.
Quietly, after she arranged the Forbidden Army and Gongyang Bo in Furong Town, she stayed with Li Xiuyuan, hoping that he would wake up early.
Until she almost couldn't bear it any longer, rays of faint moonlight fell, shining on the young man's black shirt and also on the young man's hands holding flowers like lotus petals.
The corners of the young man's mouth moved, as if he was telling something softly.
"Alas" a sigh floated around, instantly breaking the midnight tranquility.
"You're back?"
Helian Mingyue let out a cry of surprise, reached out and gently pulled Li Xiuyuan's sleeve and asked: "How is it? Is there any result? Tell me!"
Shaking his head, Li Xiuyuan sat up from the cold grass and stretched out his hand, wanting to touch the bright moon in the sky.
Just like on the Wangchuan Bridge, before touching Xiao Ling'er's green silk hair, she was taken away by a gust of breeze.
Suddenly I came back here.
"Little Ling'er, follow your elder sister to practice here."
Li Xiuyuan used a soft voice with a hint of desolation and said under Helian Mingyue's gaze: "Brother, I'll see you next time."
"Who is Xiao Ling'er?? Who are you??"
Helian Mingyue stared closely at Li Xiuyuan in front of her and asked, "Tell me, where have you been?"
There was silence for a long time, until a gust of cold wind blew, bringing Li Xiuyuan's thoughts from Wangchuan back to this mountain forest, so he sighed again.
Patting his clothes, Li Xiuyuan left Yu Qingchan's grave, but wandered all the way, like an unintentional ghost, when Helian Mingyue was stunned, and came to another grave.
After a moment of silence, he said calmly: "I know who he is? Who are you?"
Helian Mingyue was shocked when he heard this and asked: "Then who are you?"
The moonlight in the sky quietly illuminated the mountains, rivers and land, and also illuminated the two people at the moment.
Helian Mingyue looked at the tombstone in front of her, her eyes flashed in the deepest darkness, staring at the young man in front of her.
Finally, her eyes softly fell on the tombstone in front of her.
I saw a line of words carved on it: "The tomb of Aier Helian Wenrui." There was no signature on it, and even the old man in the town, Gong Yangbo, had never been here.
Every late autumn, the two of them just stayed in front of the grave for a few days each, without anyone disturbing the other.
But tonight, a strange boy brought her here and told her that he knew everything.
This was even more thrilling to him than when she asked Li Xiuyuan to investigate the whereabouts of Gong Yangbo's lover Yu Qingchan.
After taking a few steps back, Li Xiuyuan found a stone, wiped off the dew on it, and sat quietly on it.
The corners of his mouth moved slightly: "So, do you want me to tell you a story? Or do you want to tell me about an accident that wasn't too far away?"
Helian Mingyue felt a chill in her heart and did not answer. Instead, she sat quietly on a stone slab in front of the grave. This was what Li Xiuyuan deliberately took a few steps back to leave for her.
Helian Mingyue thought about it for a while, with a look of indifference on his face, and said slowly: "Tell me about it, and I will consider whether to tell you a story."
Although she couldn't see Li Xiuyuan's eyes, she could feel the boy's ups and downs at the moment.
Then, during these few hours of meditation, something unexpected must have happened to her.
She wanted to know what happened to the boy in front of her?
Li Xiuyuan sighed and said slowly: "Xiao Ling'er is one of my younger sisters. She is currently in Huangquan Village on the Wangchuan River, cultivating with my eldest sister."
With a "buzz" sound, Helian Mingyue felt like stars were rising in front of her eyes, and she couldn't bear it anymore!
He shouted coldly: "Who are you?"
Li Xiuyuan ignored her and said to himself: "My eldest sister has probably seen this guy before. This guy also drank the soup cooked by her. But my eldest sister can't control Jiuyouxia. For this reason, I asked another one." Guy."
Helian Mingyue was shocked and was speechless for a moment.
This is a very secret matter. It can be said that no one except Gongyang Bo Zhongyuan knows about it, but now it is said so clearly by this mysterious young man.
Even many years later, Helian Mingyue felt a little confused with so many things in her mind.
After a while, she suddenly smiled coldly.
He said quietly: "How can I believe that you didn't make up a story to deceive me, or that you had already inquired about something with that guy Gongyang Bo?"
Li Xiuyuan calmed down, his expression became colder, and he replied calmly: "I am not used to prying into other people's privacy, and I don't want to shed my own tears in other people's stories!"
Helian Mingyue snorted and said: "Okay, I believe your words, then tell me where this person went after reincarnation, and how can I see him again?"
"You don't have to beat around the bush with me! Haven't you been protecting him?"
Li Xiuyuan took a deep breath and looked at the bright moon in the sky and the black and white colors in the sky. He felt a kind of anger and helplessness in his heart.
"Otherwise, how could you, a high-ranking leader and Her Majesty the Queen who is worshiped by thousands of people, condescend to take care of a mere young master from the Meng family?"
"impossible!"
Suddenly, Helian Mingyue's voice suddenly became sharp, as if he had thought of something, and there were some inexplicable emotions in his voice.
It’s joy and it’s also anger!
This is my privacy, how can the young man in front of me know? Who told him?
Gongyang Bo didn’t know about this, not even the old man in the Meng family, or even everyone in the Meng family knew about it. Who? Can you tell this hateful guy in front of you?
"No, no matter how high your Dharma is, apart from me, there is only...you, the King of Hell under the Netherworld, who are you?"
Having said this, Helian Mingyue became more and more excited, and a gleam of light shone on her body. It was the expression that a woman would have when she was frightened and angry.
Li Xiuyuan shook his head, and slowly lifted the flower with his hand. He borrowed a drop of water from the mountain from the moonlight and turned it into a lotus light.
The lotus is slowly rotating, as if it is showing the six paths of reincarnation in front of Helian Mingyue.
"I know that you should have learned some inside information from the ancient Buddha of Ran Deng that should not be revealed to you, and I happen to know a guy who controls the reincarnation of all living beings in the world."
"Oh my God, this is something that can never happen!"
With a long roar, Helian Mingyue's emotions collapsed instantly, mixed with endless pain, surprise, sadness, despair, and a touch of endless melancholy and sadness.
"Why, why do you know the King of Hell under the Nine Netherworld? Where is my son? Where is Wen Rui?"
At this moment, Helian Mingyue completely lost his mind.
Even in the dark place in front of the grave, fireflies that should have died suddenly flew in, and they were flying under the dim moonlight. The darkness was restless and commotion at this moment.
It was as if there was a figure coming from the dark abyss, coming from the eternal desolation, wanting to reach out and touch the tears on Helian Mingyue's face.
Li Xiuyuan was stunned. Even though he had obtained the answer from King Qin Guang on Wangchuan River, he was still stunned when he looked at Helian Mingyue's heartbroken look in front of him.
At this moment, memories of Ximen Xiaoyu came to his heart and filled his mind.
Even Helian Mingyue shouted loudly in front of him and turned a deaf ear.
Looking at the dark figure in front of Helian Mingyue, he spat out words like a nightmare: "Xiao Yu, are you okay?"
Quietly, Helian Mingyue shouted: "My son!"
In this way, at midnight, sitting in front of the solitary grave, were two idiots with tears on their faces.
Looking back, Helian Mingyue looked at Li Xiuyuan blankly. The young man did not answer her question, but told her another earth-shattering news.
It seemed like it was something else entirely, but it was a secret that she had struggled with for many years.
The secret was that she had to kneel in front of the ancient Buddha for several months before asking for a piece of information that was not very clear.
But Li Xiuyuan in front of her told her word by word that this was the result told to him by the King of Hell under the Nine Netherworld, and he said it so clearly, as if everything just happened yesterday.
"Where is my son? The King of Hell didn't tell you, will my son be in trouble again?"
Looking at the tear-stained boy in front of him, the tired-looking Helian Mingyue was stunned and couldn't help but ask: "Why are you crying? My son has offended you again?"
After a moment of silence, Li Xiuyuan slowly replied: "What you see in your eyes, what I see in my eyes is that he was killed by that old devil. Xiaodie'er's aunt, Ximen Xiaoyu, is also my apprentice."
"Ah" Helian Mingyue's body shook slightly and he lowered his head instantly.
She never imagined that the two people sitting idle under the moonlit night were both destitute people from the end of the world, and both had a heartbroken past.
At this moment, she remembered what Li Xiuyuan told her before.
Because of his disciple's death and Xiao Die'er's injury, this guy shed tears of blood and cried blindly in one day.
Such a feeling is probably not as deep as that of the woman's biological father and mother, but perhaps a little deeper than her biological father and mother. Otherwise, why didn't I cry my eyes out?
"I'm Li Xiuyuan, and I come from a place you can't go to now."
Li Xiuyuan's voice was not loud, but he made his meaning clear: "You won't understand my friendship with King Qin Guang or my eldest sister Meng Po."
Withdrawing his gaze, Li Xiuyuan replied quietly: "Back then, I transformed into Po Meng, stood on that bridge for a hundred years, and cooked soup for more than a hundred years."
Li Xiuyuan's face was like water, and he talked about the past lightly.
For a moment, there was no sound in the silent mountain forest, and only his voice floated gently in front of the grave, which made Helian Mingyue feel in a trance.
At this moment, she realized why the young man in front of her could go where she couldn't go.
"I told you, don't trust your eyes, look at the world with your heart."
The white lotus in Li Xiuyuan's hand was spinning gently. Under the dim moonlight in the night sky, it seemed as if there was a flame burning gently on the petals.
Helian Mingyue stared blankly at the lotus between Li Xiuyuan's fingers, as if in a daze.
I don't know how long it took before he said in a low voice: "So where are you from?"
Li Xiuyuan thought for a while and replied: "I come from the past because I have indeed been to the long river of time. I have also gone to the future, although it was the work of my master."
He took a breath and continued: "In your world, we masters and disciples are just passers-by."
