Jiang Buwan smiled softly and asked, "Master Lin, aren't we leaving yet?"
"Let's go." Lin Rufeng said, "I will take you back now."
Xiang Zhihan followed the direction pointed by Jiang Buwan for a hundred or two hundred miles, but found nothing.
Could it be that he was allowed to escape?
He thought of the place where Jiang Buwan had just appeared. He thought about it and returned.
Because he trusted Jiang Buwan without thinking, he missed the best judgment at the first time.
When he rushed back again, it was already midnight, and the cold moon hung high in the center. With a chill all over him, he opened the stone door, and the moonlight poured in, illuminating rows of sculptures of different shapes.
He raised his hand, and a spiritual lamp slowly appeared in mid-air. He carefully looked at the land under his feet, and finally found a row of footprints around a corner.
The footprints were small and shallow, as if a woman had walked by.
Xiang Zhihan stared at the footprints for a long time, then he raised his head and asked, "Master, has anyone been here tonight?"
An old voice sounded in the empty hall, "No, only you and your destined person are here today."
He noticed that Xiang Zhihan had been staring at the row of footprints, so he specifically mentioned that Jiang Buwan had been with him in the afternoon, hoping that he would not doubt Jiang Buwan.
He didn't give his always smart apprentice much time to think.
"Zhihan, I have thought of a way for you to break this fate."
"Master, please give me some advice." Xiang Zhihan bent down respectfully, as if he was listening to the teachings. His drooping eyelashes covered the complicated emotions in his eyes.
He should be happy.
The ascension he had been looking forward to his whole life was finally coming true.
He should be happy.
But when he thought that he and Jiang Buwan would soon become strangers, that he would ascend to immortality alone, and never see her again.
There is no more joy in my heart.
He even had a little hope that he could be entangled with her for the rest of his life.
But his reason told him that no, he must ascend as soon as possible, find the murderer, and find out the cause of the change in heaven.
It's such a pity that he and she can't be husband and wife forever, and they have to separate before even a real wedding is held.
"Kill her."
Xiang Zhihan suddenly raised his head, "Master! What are you talking about?! How can my disciple kill people for no reason?!"
"Zhihan, this is your only way. Since ancient times, there has been a way to kill your sweetheart to achieve enlightenment. You can only break this fate by killing her!"
Xiang Zhihan shook his head, his usually calm and steady eyes turned red, "I don't believe it, I don't believe it can be done in this way! What kind of enlightenment is this? What kind of enlightenment is it? The devil's way?"
After Xiang Zhihan finished speaking, he knelt in front of the stone statue and said, "Master, I will definitely find a way to ascend, but I will kill people... I forgive my disciple for not being able to obey."
"Zhihan, you and I have been masters and disciples for so many years, has Master ever deceived you?"
Xiang Zhihan paused and said, "No."
"Zhihan, I know you can't accept it for a while, but this is the only way. Kill one person to save tens of millions, that's right."
Xiang Zhihan was about to open his mouth to retort, but was blocked by the old man, "I know what you want to say, even if tens of millions of people will die, you will find other ways to save him instead of pointing the butcher knife at that innocent person."
"Master understands me." Xiang Zhihan said.
"But there is no time now, everything will be too late." The old man said, "Have any children had their spiritual roots dug out recently?"
"yes."
The old man sighed, "Zhihan, this is just the beginning. If you are still stubborn and obsessed with this little thing, more people will die in the future."
Xiang Zhihan knelt on the ground and clasped his fingers tightly on the ground. He dug out several scratches. He gritted his teeth and asked, "Master, is there no other way?"
"No more." The old man said, "Zhihan, this is our only chance."
"The lives of thousands of creatures in Kyushu depend on you alone."
Two lines of blood and tears flowed from Xiang Zhihan's eyes. He wanted to ask, why him? Why did this have to happen to him?
"Zhihan, don't hesitate." The old man said, "What you are doing is also to save her."
"If you just care about being happy with her in this life, what about her next life?"
"No, she will not have another life. Not only her, but all of us will not have another life."
"Master, stop talking."
Xiang Zhihan closed his eyes, and tears mixed with blood fell on the ground in front of him, dyeing the yellow soil red, "I will do it, I will do it."
"I'll listen to you."
After he finished speaking, he stumbled out regardless of whether his master had anything to say to him.
He did not go back to Yaoguang Peak directly, but sat in meditation alone in the mountains and forests.
Why is God so cruel to him?
kill? Kill an innocent person? Kill the person he loves?
If she had known this, he should not have gone there in the first place. If she had never met him, she would not have suffered such an unreasonable disaster.
He took out the wine that was gathering ashes in his Qiankun bag. This wine was the wine given to him by his teachers and fellow disciples when he held his coming-of-age ceremony. Hundreds of years have passed.
He opened one of the jars and poured it into his mouth. His eyes were misty, and it turned out that the wine tasted like this.
Lin Rufeng found Xiang Zhihan who was drunk deep in the jungle. At his feet were empty wine jars one after another.
He was so surprised that he could swallow an egg in his mouth. Xiang Zhihan, who had always been sober and self-possessed, could actually drink? Are you still drunk like this?
"Senior brother? Senior brother Xiang?" Lin Rufeng took the wine jar from his hand and called his name.
Xiang Zhihan raised his eyes, his usually sterile eyes were a little misty and watery, and his cheeks were slightly red due to drunkenness. For a moment, his already handsome facial features became more gorgeous, as if he was a demon who could seduce people's hearts.
"Lin... Junior Brother Lin, why are you here?" Xiang Zhihan said intermittently, and then he smiled and said, "Come, have a few drinks with me."
"You always said in the past that I would never drink with you, and today I just fulfilled your wish."
Lin Rufeng held the wine jar in one hand and looked straight at Xiang Zhihan, who was drunk and unconscious. After a long time, he smiled with pride, "Okay, tonight you and I, You won’t come home until you’re drunk.”
The two of them drank pot after pot among the flowers.
When Lin Rufeng drank to his heart's content, he raised the altar and danced in the moonlight. He was naturally handsome, with a slim waist and thin hips. When he danced, his posture was chic and his expression was charming.
It's no wonder that so many women are willing to spend the night with him.
The sun was getting whiter, and the two finally stopped.
Lin Rufeng leaned on the bluestone and asked sideways, "Senior brother, what happened?"
Xiang Zhihan raised his hand to cover his eyes. When he took it off again, his eyes were clear and he was no longer drunk.
"Junior brother Lin, I want something from you, and I can exchange it with you for something else."
Lin Rufeng:? ? ?
This guy got drunk just to get what he had, right?
