Xiang Zhihan came back at sunset.
He came on a cloud, with the sky full of red clouds behind him, like a great hero descending from the sky.
"Wanwan." Xiang Zhihan lowered his head, stepped forward, and said, "I heard that Lin Yaoyao and the others came to bully you?"
"Did Zhao Qing tell you?" Jiang Buwan asked, "Actually, it's okay. With your barrier protecting me, she couldn't even get close to me."
"But if not, Wanwan, that whip will kill you."
Jiang Buwan lowered his eyes, mist brewing in his eyes.
"Don't worry, I have reported this matter to the sect leader, who has banned her in the back mountain for a hundred years, and other followers have also been punished."
"Wanwan, this kind of thing will never happen again in the future."
"I'm fine." Jiang Buwan raised his eyes and took the initiative to wrap his arms around Xiang Zhihan's waist, with a sad look on his face, "I just miss you."
Xiang Zhihan looked at Jiang Buwan and felt a little guilty in his heart. He should have been here to accompany Jiang Buwan, but instead he left Jiang Buwan alone in a strange place.
Xiang Zhihan raised his hand to hold the person in his arms and asked softly, "Is there anywhere you want to go? I'll take you there tomorrow."
Jiang Buwan did not answer Xiang Zhihan's question, but asked, "Zhihan, have you found the missing child?"
Xiang Zhihan looked lonely when he heard this. He shook his head sadly and said, "Found it."
Jiang Buwan noticed something was wrong with Xiang Zhihan's expression and asked cautiously, "Did something happen to the children?"
Xiang Zhihan raised his eyes to look at her, his dark eyes full of pain and sadness, "They are all dead."
Jiang Buwan was silent for a long time, and then he took Xiang Zhihan into his arms and comforted him softly.
"It's okay. We can definitely find the murderer and avenge the children."
Xiang Zhihan felt her warm embrace, and the suppressed emotions in his heart finally couldn't help but come out.
He said weakly and hesitantly, "Wanwan, I can't find it, I can't find it."
He actually had the idea in his mind that the people who did these things were probably people from another world, or even the upper world.
But if he didn't ascend, he wouldn't be able to tear through the void and go to other worlds.
This case. . No solution.
But he didn't know how to tell them. If he told the truth to others, regardless of whether they believed it or not, it would definitely cause a wave of unnecessary panic for them.
"Wanwan, tell me, what have we done wrong? To make God hate us so much."
"Even the death penalty deserves to be understood." Xiang Zhihan murmured while holding Jiang Buwan, as if he was drunk.
He has always been taciturn and rarely speaks so many words.
Jiang Buwan patted Xiang Zhihan's back again and again. What a fool. It's not that you did something wrong, but that the people above made a mistake.
Xiang Zhihan talked in Jiang Buwan's arms for a while and then there was no sound. Jiang Buwan looked sideways and found that he had fallen asleep on her shoulder.
His face was very peaceful, as if he had found a place of peace of mind, but the black spots under his eyes and the stubble around his mouth proved that he was tired from the past few days.
Jiang Buwan took out a cloak from the side and leaned it against him. Then she leaned against him and fell asleep.
The morning glow was rising, and the warm sunshine shone on them. Xiang Zhihan's long and curly eyelashes trembled, and then he slowly opened his eyes. His deep eyes were hazy for a moment, and then quickly recovered. Qingming.
He looked sideways at Jiang Buwan, who was leaning against him. He seemed to be thinking of what he had done last night, and his fair earlobes turned red instantly.
He swallowed and raised his hand to caress Jiang Buwan's face. Perhaps Junior Brother Lin was right. His always firm Taoist heart was shaken at this moment. He wanted to be with her for eternity.
There is no need to think about things nine days away, no need to bear the expectations of so many people, and no need to ascend.
He will live with her in this land from generation to generation until he dies.
Jiang Buwan seemed to feel Xiang Zhihan's hand. She slowly opened her eyes, and then smiled at Xiang Zhihan. The ends of her slightly raised eyes and eyebrows curved into a crescent moon.
"The cold."
"Yeah." Xiang Zhihan let go of her, his eyes deep.
But no, he couldn't give it life after life, maybe not even a hundred years.
He must break through this fate as soon as possible, ascend as soon as possible, and seek justice for his ancestors and the dead children.
"Zhihan, we are getting married soon." Jiang Buwan said, "But I have never met your elders."
"I...I don't know if your elders will like me."
Xiang Zhihan pondered for a long time and said, "I am an orphan picked up by Master. I have no other elders except Master."
"Then can I meet your master?" Jiang Buwan's eyes were eager.
She was just waiting for him to say this.
"Master..."
Jiang Buwan said aggrievedly, "Do you think that I am not worthy of you, so you can't even meet your master? Am I the wife you are about to marry, or am I your secret lover?"
Faced with Jiang Buwan's cry, he had no choice but to relent and respond.
"I'll take you there." Xiang Zhihan said, "It's just that my master is just a sculpture now."
Xiang Zhihan came to the back mountain again, and Jiang Buwan came here for the first time. She looked around and saw that the cave was filled with large and small sculptures.
The sculptures here are so lifelike that they look like living people.
I don't know if it was her illusion or something else, but Jiang Buwan always felt as if these motionless sculptures were looking at her.
Xiang Zhihan brought her to an old man and said, "He is my master."
Jiang Buwan looked up. Although his body was indeed a stone, Jiang Buwan could feel the soul contained in the stone.
He is still alive, but he is trapped in the stone forever.
"You...Master, who is...?"
Xiang Zhihan: "My master is dead. He died under a catastrophe."
When Jiang Buwan heard this, he looked at the other sculptures. These people were probably monks from the lower realm who had failed to overcome the tribulation.
"Okay, let's not talk about these sad things." Xiang Zhihan said, "Wanwan, please say hello to my master."
Jiang Buwan bent down to salute the stone statue, and she said, "Don't worry, I will be with Zhihan from now on, and I will take good care of him. I know my life is not long, but I am willing to devote all my life to him." The cold."
"I hope you can bless me and Zhihan."
The stone statue stood there quietly like a dead thing. Xiang Zhihan took Jiang Buwan's hand and said, "Master, I have found the true love of my life. I hope you can bless us."
The two of them bowed before the stone statue again, and Xiang Zhihan took Jiang Buwan and left.
Before Jiang Buwan left, she looked back and saw that the cave was closed by a stone door. She secretly remembered the location of this place in her heart.
Xiang Zhihan originally wanted to take Jiang Buwan down the mountain to play today, but he received a message from the sect leader on the way. He had to send Jiang Buwan back to Yaoguang Peak first, and then go to find the sect leader himself.
