Sunset in Hegu Valley, the moon and stars are scarce.
At night, Lin Xixue's consciousness gradually awakened, and the meridians under the skin of her arms seemed to have been filled with molten iron, emitting a blazing red light.
Xu Zhiyi lay quietly on the side, with soft golden light emitting from all over her body, her breathing and pulse were stable, and there were no skin injuries. However, no matter how she tried, Xu Zhiyi did not give any response.
Bai Qing knelt slumped in the middle of the square not far away, motionless, as if petrified.
Lin Xixue staggered towards her, not knowing what to say, so she could only sit next to her silently and accompany her quietly.
The two of them remained silent.
I don’t know how long it took, but Bai Qing finally spoke.
"Do you know what it means to change children and eat them?"
Lin Xixue glanced at her and said nothing, but she didn't seem to care about Lin Xixue's reaction and just continued to talk on her own.
"When I was a child, there was a famine in the village, and a family of four fled. Many memories have been blurred. I only remember that I had to walk a long way every day. The leaves were bitter, the roots of the grass were sour and astringent, and I was hungry every day. Very hungry."
"Then one day, my brother was so hungry that he couldn't walk no matter what. My father and mother whispered a few words behind the rag shed, and of course in the evening, my mother brought back a pot of meat."
"The meat is boiled in plain water, but it is very fragrant. I really haven't eaten meat for a long time. My mother, who has always been partial to my younger brother, actually fished out a few more pieces of meat for me for the first time. I was still young at the time and didn't know why is that."
"I didn't know why until the next day, when my mother took me to another homeless family's shed without a smile. When I saw the sharply sharpened knife, I suddenly understood everything. What did I eat one night?”
"I vomited and couldn't stop vomiting. After my mother threw me away, she couldn't bear it, but she still left. This homeless family muttered some unfaithful words in their mouths, and then raised a sharp knife. "
"You know, it was then that I realized that there is no difference between humans and animals before they die."
"Then what?"
Bai Qing told the story calmly, and Lin Xixue also asked calmly.
"Then, just like the scene in a cliché story about a hero saving a beauty, my senior brother appeared, she rescued me and took me back to Lantau Island."
"Although I am a disciple of Master, he takes good care of me on weekdays and often gives me guidance on practice, making talismans, and refining elixirs."
"So you have a secret crush on him."
"It's not a secret. Three years after I entered the profession, I made my feelings clear to him, but he only regarded me as his sister. But at that time, I thought that if I could be my senior brother's sister, I would stay with him for the rest of my life, even in the end. I’m willing to get nothing.”
"If he has a beloved woman in the future, can you really let him go?"
"I may not be willing to give in, but I understand that if I don't like it, I don't like it. He really just treats me as his younger sister." Bai Qing smiled sadly, and she didn't know what she was laughing at.
"Later, how did he become infected with evil spirits?"
"Later... one of the disciples in the sect suddenly lost news when he was out training. The sect sent a senior brother to investigate. At that time, I felt that this trip was dangerous and I was firmly opposed to his going."
"But he went anyway."
"Yes, senior brother comforted me, saying that he went out to practice hundreds of times, and every time he could complete the task perfectly. This time, he also has the Thousand Miles of No Trace Talisman given by the master, and he will definitely return safely."
Although Lin Xixue felt that it was inappropriate to say such words on such a sad occasion, she couldn't suppress the complaining nature in her heart - this Flag was too standard!
"So he finally came back, but unfortunately he was tainted by evil spirits."
"Yes, he was already crazy when he came back. After reporting the information found during this trip to the boss, it was convenient for Xuantong to come back."
"What is Xuantong?" Lin Xixue asked puzzledly.
"Goug out your eyes, poke your ears, cut off your tongue, seal off your five senses, and then imprison yourself in the forbidden area behind the mountain for the rest of your life."
"Isn't this just a living death? Why not give him a good time?" Lin Xixue frowned.
"I don't know, that's how the sect rules are set." But then she felt a little funny. Lantau Mountain is gone, so what are the sect rules?
She was silent for a moment, and then said with laughter and tears: "I really regret it. You told me clearly that there was something wrong with Jie Yun. Why didn't I believe you? It was me who harmed everyone, and I harmed my senior brother... ..."
She cried until she was out of breath, and her voice became smaller and smaller. She clenched her hands and hammered the broken jade bricks several times, causing little bits of blood to splash everywhere.
"It's gone. I have nothing. My school is gone, my master is gone, and my senior brother is gone. If I want to lose it all, why do I still have it..."
When she said this, she suddenly felt sad and suddenly drew out the Liuxia Sword and slashed it towards her neck.
The incident happened so suddenly that Lin Xixue barely had time to react and subconsciously reached out to grab the spirit sword.
But the moment her hand came into contact with the spirit sword, she realized how the spirit sword could not have been touched with her hand. But at this time, she had already moved before her consciousness and tightly grasped the sword body.
She originally thought that her fingers were completely in danger, but the next moment the lightning arc flashed in her palm, and she was able to withstand the sharpness of Liuxia Sword.
Without having time to think about what was going on, she grabbed the spirit sword and threw it aside, then slapped Bai Qing hard with her other hand.
Bai Qing's mouth was bleeding. She was stunned for a moment, and then started to cry like a child.
"Wow... I don't have a home anymore, and the person who was the best to me is no longer here, so what's the point of living? It's all because of me, and it's all because I didn't believe what you said."
She hugged Bai Qing. Although she was about to cry, she still restrained her emotions and comforted Bai Qing: "I don't blame you... I don't blame you..."
"I not only told you that there was a problem with Jie Yun, but I also told everyone present that there was a problem with Jie Yun. Not to mention others, your master Yi Huai also heard it, and they didn't believe it."
"You survived precisely because you are the only one who is willing to believe in me. Otherwise, you would have been pulled away by the unknown force like everyone else."
"So, I don't blame you..." Lin Xixue sniffed.
"But, I no longer have a home. My parents don't want me anymore. I thought Lantau Mountain could be my place to settle down. But now Lantau Mountain is gone, and my senior brother who loves me has also been taken away. Xiaoxue, I Where should I go, I have no home anymore!”
Lin Xixue's heart suddenly trembled when she heard this somewhat intimate sound from Xiaoxue. She looked at the bright moon in the sky, took a deep breath, and said loudly: "That's just right, I don't have a home either. Since everyone has no home, we will Build yourself a home!”
"Build a home?" Bai Qing stopped crying, but her eyes were still confused.
Lin Xixue's eyes became more and more critical, and she said categorically: "Yes, build a home for all the people in the world who have no place to go, who are homeless!"
