Since neither of them had objections at the beginning of the plan, they just did as they said.
When he left the palace at a quarter of noon, he waited until he left the General's Mansion. Since Chen Mo had threatened Chu Wushuang's family before, he was too embarrassed to go in. Seeing that she came out so quickly, he asked, "Why not Stay a little longer?" Chu Wushuang didn't seem to want to answer, just said: "Stop asking, let's go."
Chen Mo naturally wanted to go to pay homage to Chu Chengfeng. After all, he had entrusted his daughter to him, and still pretending to be stupid and pretending to be a cultivator was a bit too inhumane.
Chen Mo and Chu Wushuang arrived at the grave. The funeral items had been blown into a mess by the wind a few days ago. Chen Mo picked them up and sorted them out. The three bows were indispensable, and then he walked around the tomb bag. After walking three times, Chen Mo sprinkled some rice on the ground, and Chu Wushuang followed behind and threw some millet.
When it was over, Chen Mo picked up a handful of soil and placed it in front of the grave, sighing: "Father-in-law, let's go in peace."
When Chu Wushuang heard this, she started crying loudly. Chen Mo watched quietly from the side without stopping her.
Chen Mo knew that she was feeling even sadder now than when her master died. There was no way to keep the unspeakable sadness in her heart. I was afraid she could only feel better by crying.
After a while, the sobbing voice became quieter, and Chen Mo bent down to help her: "The past is in the past." "I know, but I just can't help but think about it..." Chu Wushuang said half of his words. , Chen Mo hugged her and patted her on the back: "No more, no more..."
The two left the cemetery immediately. Before leaving, Chen Mo looked back and saw the uneven and disorderly reeds growing wantonly. They were everywhere in front of the gray tombstones. Paper money and unburned reeds were everywhere. The elegiac couplet is hung on the most conspicuous dead tree with twisted branches, quite like a decaying mummy, wrapped in yellow and white paper clothes, guarding its land conscientiously.
Chu Wushuang waved her hand in front of Chen Mo's eyes: "What are you looking at, so fascinated?"
"Nothing..." Chen Mo turned around and said, "Let's go back to Xianyun Valley first. No matter what happens in the future, we must inform Senior Lin."
"Um."
…
Chen Mo Yujian left Chudu with Chu Wushuang. Maybe he was very lucky. It was getting late and the wind in the air was getting stronger and stronger: "...Why did it suddenly become cold?" Chu Wu Shuang always hid behind Chen Mo, but as Chen Mo's body temperature gradually dropped, she also felt the biting chill.
"Because it's going to rain and thunder, we have to find an inn to stay for one night."
Chen Mo said without blushing and without a beating heart. It was impossible to ask her opinion in such words. It was a very simple and easy-to-understand truth. Not speaking meant acquiescence.
The unexpected silence made him breath a sigh of relief, and the two quickly arrived at the nearest city. The inn was located in the center of the market. At midnight, there were no people on the streets of Chengjun. There was only the sound of rain falling, flowing uncontrollably from the eaves, accompanied by deafening thunder and rumbles, one after another, illuminating the rain in all directions of the inn. of.
The sky on a rainy night is extremely dark, as if thick ink is smeared on it. Thunder and lightning are still roaring, flashing one or two thorny outlines, looming in the night, sometimes advancing, sometimes retreating to the distant horizon, the hills are in the heavy rain Suppressing the trembling of excitement in my heart, the originally smooth paths between the mountain cols were washed with mud, until a certain critical point of collapse, the rain washed away the bridge, the birds hiding in the trees flew away in panic, and lightning flashed across the mountains. The desire fell, and it was hurriedly illuminated, leaving a trace of milky white light, which briefly disappeared into the darkness.
The rain was still pouring down, and the earthy fragrance penetrated through the window. Chen Mo and Chu Wushuang hugged each other, their eyes met, and both of them giggled as if they had thought of something.
Chen Mo knew it was time, so he said, "Wushuang, what kind of life do you like?"
"It's free." She said without any hesitation.
"Aren't you free with me?"
"It's not that free."
"Oh? Then tell me."
"I can't say it, I'm stupid." Chu Wushuang explained: "We are free, we can do anything, we don't have to worry about cultivation, and we don't have to be upset about many things, Chen Mo...can you understand what I say? "
"I understand," Chen Mo said, "Then we should go back to find Senior Lin?"
"Yes." Chu Wushuang hugged him tightly: "My master doesn't have much time left to waste. She is one of the people closest to me. I want us to accompany her through the last journey together. From now on it is completely ours.”
Chen Mo felt a tremor in his soul, which made him very scared. He suppressed his fear and asked calmly: "I want to hear it, Wu Shuang."
"Well, there are too many, and Tianyun Continent is too big. If you ask me now, I have no idea. Then let's go to every place and walk around. Anyway, we have time," Chu Wushuang said.
"Well, it's good to be with you," Chen Mo tried his best not to act strange.
"By the way, Chen Mo, do you like children?"
"good."
"So do you like boys or girls?"
Chen Mo said: "Each has its own advantages. A boy can continue his career and is more alert and less likely to be deceived. If a girl is a girl, she won't be so tired of living. They are all good, boys and girls are the same."
Chu Wushuang asked again: "Then will you let him (her) practice?"
"If you have spiritual roots, practice cultivation. If you don't have spiritual roots, just be an ordinary mortal. If you don't want her to be rich and powerful, at least keep her safe for the rest of her life."
"Chen Mo, you and I have the same idea."
"Haha, what a coincidence."
"Yes, we will also have children. I will give you as many children as you want. I will listen to you in everything. Maybe we can open an alchemy workshop to refine elixirs for other monks..."
The two of them talked about their plans for the future. Chen Mo tried his best to discuss some details with her, and Chu Wushuang nodded with satisfaction many times.
It rained all night and showed no signs of stopping until the next morning. The sky was still gloomy. As midnight approached, Chen Mo squinted for a while. When he woke up, Chu Wushuang was already writing something at the table.
"What are you writing?" Chen Mo stood up and walked over, asking casually.
Chu Wushuang picked up the unfinished letter and said, "Let me show it to you. You can also add to it."
Chen Mo took a closer look, and the words written on it made his heart tremble: "Watch the sunrise together, ride horses together, go fishing, and let Chen Mo shout Chu Wushuang's name on the cliff..."
"What...what do you mean..." Chen Mo's hand couldn't help trembling as he returned the letter.
Chu Wushuang cried silently, and the two hugged each other again: "Chen Mo, there is still a long way to go from Xianyun Valley. Let's not fly anymore and walk back..."
Chen Mo didn't have the guts to answer the conversation, and he didn't have the face to face her again. Although it was extremely easy to compromise, compared with his own beliefs, this was a painful thing that put him on the fire repeatedly.
"Chen Mo, why don't you speak?"
Chu Wushuang let him go and looked at the same tear-stained face: "Why are you crying?" Her tears turned into a smile, as if nothing happened.
"sorry Sorry……"
Chen Mo had never felt so indebted to someone. Everything he wanted to say was stuck in his throat. What could he say? What can be done? The words he kept saying he loved her were all elaborate deceptions, but when it came time to really ask him to keep his promise, he would actually run away.
Chu Wushuang covered Chen Mo's mouth and shook her head to tell him to stop talking. "It's me who should say I'm sorry." She was close to Chen Mo again and murmured in her heart.
…
It only took a few days to fly from Chudu to Xianyun Valley, and the walk was quite long. Coupled with the two people's intentional or unintentional procrastination, it took three months before they returned to the city near Xianyun Valley.
Along the way, the two people followed the instructions on the letter. Whether it was the reflection of the clouds and the rising sun, or the night in the ancient forest, they held hands tightly and never separated.
They also destroyed a bandit den, killed two evil dog officials, and attracted a group of government officials to chase them. They also experienced the feeling of being a gambler and lost twenty taels of silver.
"...Chen Mo, what you draw doesn't look like me."
Chu Wushuang looked at the lifelike portrait and said with dissatisfaction.
Chen Mo said: "What's different about it?"
"I'm not that thin, and I have wrinkles at the corners of my eyes."
"But you will always be like that in my eyes."
"Nonsense!" Chu Wushuang looked at him angrily, "Then it seems I have to take a closer look!" Chen Mo went to hug her, but Chu Wushuang hurriedly pushed her away: "Stay away from me..." "Where are you going? Run?" He was pressed until he couldn't move, and soon it was a familiar matter again.
"Chen Mo,"
"Um?"
"Would you do this with anyone else?"
"No way."
"What if you are forced? For example, there is a female monster who is highly cultivated and beautiful, and she captures you. What should you do?"
"Of course I tried to escape!"
"I can't run away, I can only..."
"Then I cut it."
"Huh? Is it true?"
Chen Mo didn't know where she had so many weird problems, so he could only swear to God: "If I have a relationship with another woman again, I will be completely finished."
"That's pretty much it..." Chu Wushuang also swore: If I were with anyone else except you, I would commit suicide to prove my innocence.
"Don't talk nonsense." Chen Mo gave her a stern look. Chu Wushuang cuddled up to him like a child who had done something wrong, and said with a choked voice: "I don't want to go back... I really don't want to..."
…
A wonderful journey will also have an end point. The two of them entered an inn before evening, and there was only one wish left on the letter.
"play hide and seek…"
Chu Wushuang raised his head. Chen Mo had already turned away with his hands behind his back. No one could see his expression, whether it was regret, pity or regret.
"...Then I hid it?" Chu Wushuang said to his back.
After a long time, Chen Mo nodded heavily. The latter put the written letter on the table while crying, and then quickly ran out with a bang and closed the door.
Chen Mo clenched his fists tightly, and his nails dug deeply into his flesh. It wasn't until her breath was gone from the outside world that he looked up to the sky and sighed. He seemed to be ten years older, trembling, and he mustered up the courage to get Chu Wu. The letter left by Frost.
"Chen Mo, I'm leaving."
"You should be good in the future. Don't always think of me, but don't forget me either. During the time I was with you, I have been persuading myself to stay with you, but, I can't do it. , I don’t want to lose myself for you. I think you are the same way. Maybe we all love ourselves more than others, but you don’t have to worry. I want to try to change it. It may be a month or a month. Years, two years, five years, why don't we agree that if one of you or I changes our minds ten years later, we can still meet in Xianyun Valley, just like this time."
"Also, Chen Mo, I actually haven't gone far. I'm just under the East City Gate. I'll wait for you until dawn tomorrow. If you come to me, it means you agree with what we said that night, so you need to think clearly before coming. .”
The signature was Chu Wushuang, who loves you forever. Chen Mo's head buzzed, and he immediately had the idea of rushing out. As soon as he opened the door, he felt a chill.
Yes, it was raining outside, and the sky was overcast when they moved in. Where would Chu Wushuang be now? Is she really under the East City Gate? Does she know how to use spiritual power to ward off the cold? Would you wait for the rain all night? If you didn't wait for yourself, would you be frustrated and do something wrong?
It would be bright outside, but when would it be bright inside her heart?
Chen Mo was scared. He asked himself, Chu Wushuang's request was very simple, just to stay with her, not to stop him from practicing.
But Chen Mo knew very well that with such a relaxed cultivation method, he would not have to think about going further in this life.
Practice, can practice make you forget everything? Chen Mo asked himself, Chu Wushuang is still outside in the cold. This woman slept in the same bed with you a few days ago. Does she have to act so heartless today and cut off all relations with her?
Chen Mo's blood surged up, he cursed and slammed the door and left. He felt sorry for her. No matter what, he couldn't watch her suffer like this today. Even if he dragged her to Xianyun Valley, he would not see Senior Lin again. Walk.
As expected, it started to rain outside. Chen Mo braved the wind all the way to the east city gate. Chu Wushuang was standing near the city gate taking shelter from the rain. There was also a dozing soldier on the tower.
Other than that, there was no sound.
Chen Mo walked over step by step. He was sure that she saw him. The look on her face covering her mouth to prevent herself from crying foreshadowed everything. Chen Mo opened his arms and took her in. He didn't say a word, just caressed her gently. Her long hair.
"Chen Mo, I thought you wouldn't come..." Chu Wushuang said with a cry.
Chen Mo choked up and said, "I can't bear... to see you suffering outside."
"I was thinking just now, what if you don't come? Then I will hate you to death! I didn't expect you to actually come!"
Chen Mo suddenly waved his fist and roared to the sky: "Damn it! Damn it! I won't practice anymore! Whatever you love, let's do it! I won't practice anymore!! Damn Fuyun Sect!!"
This was the first time Chen Mo had lost his composure. When Chu Wushuang heard Chen Mo swearing, she suddenly burst into tears and said with a smile: "Chen Mo, you can't curse!"
"Well, stop scolding!" Chen Mo echoed her.
"Okay, let's go." Chu Wushuang reluctantly let go of Chen Mo: "You are a person who wants to do great things. Don't give up on what you want because of me. Go ahead. I have been waiting for you in Xianyun Valley."
Chen Mo was stunned by what she said: "What do you mean?"
"You have thought about it. I haven't thought about it yet. Let's wait. Ten years is neither too early nor too late. Go and see the place you mentioned first. Remember two points, life is the most important. And the second most important thing is, don’t have anything to do with other women!”
Seeing that Chen Mo was still in a daze, Chu Wushuang said: "If you don't come, I will never see you again. Now it seems that you still have me in your heart, so get out of here. The further away, the better." Don’t let me see you!”
