Chapter 131 Blindness
Chapter 131 Blindness
Looking at the grinning old friend squatting on the window sill, Shen Mengzhuang seemed to come back to life.The dead eyes finally rippled a layer of ripples, as if a puddle of living water penetrated into the dry river.
When he got up and was about to get out of bed, he suddenly thought of his current appearance, the rekindled light dimmed instantly, he turned his face away to hide the ugly scar on his face, lowered his head and asked in a low voice, "Why are you here?"
Meng Qingyang jumped in from the window sill, picked up the hair band on the table and said as he walked, "I heard that big man said that you are in a bad mood, so I beg him to show me."
Walking to Shen Mengzhuang's side, Meng Qingyang gathered up the loose long hair behind him, tied it casually with a hair tie, touched his head lightly, then squatted down and looked up at him, softly said: "You've lost weight."
To Shen Mengzhuang, the gaze of the person in front of him was like a sharp knife cutting his face.He is no longer what he used to be now, and he dare not look directly at Meng Qingyang. He feels that his appearance at this moment will definitely scare him, so he keeps tilting his head to try to hide the scar on the left side of his face.
"Don't hide from me." Meng Qingyang naturally understood what he was hiding and what he was worried about, and held Shen Mengzhuang's hand holding his clothes in his palm, wanting to accept all his anxiety and fear, "Don't hide from me at any time .”
The scorching temperature of the palm seemed to calm Shen Mengzhuang's emotions a little, and after a long silence, he finally nodded in response to him.
Meng Qingyang's hanging heart finally landed safely, and he said with a smile, "I see that the weather here is good. I haven't seen the sun for a long time. Go out and bask in the sun?"
"I..." Shen Mengzhuang looked down at his feet, "I can't walk."
"It's easy." After finishing speaking, Meng Qingyang picked up Shen Mengzhuang, and the two of them sat on the tree in the blink of an eye.
Shen Mengzhuang turned to stare at him and blamed, "You are really getting bolder."
"When did I not eat leopard guts?" Meng Qingyang didn't feel that there was anything wrong with it, and was even more proud of his "heroic deeds" of dying under the peony flower, being a ghost and being romantic. Anyway, since he was a child, had he ever been afraid?
Seeing that the person in front of him was still as stubborn as ever, Shen Mengzhuang suddenly laughed, his heart was full of ripples.
He hasn't changed.Shen Mengzhuang secretly rejoiced that none of them had changed, fortunately.
From the moment he saw Shen Mengzhuang, Meng Qingyang's eyes had been on him.It is like this today, it was like this in the past, it was destined to be like this from the time he first saw Shen Mengzhuang.
"Do you remember the first time we met?" Meng Qingyang looked at Shen Mengzhuang with gentle eyes.
"Of course I remember." Shen Mengzhuang didn't seem to have the same recollection of being poor as he did, and there was still a bit of resentment, "That's when you snatched my sword spike."
In the past, the young people scuffled and scrambled for the sword spike, but now it is still vivid in my memory even after so many years.Meng Qingyang chuckled, as if teasing Shen Mengzhuang for taking this matter to heart.And then the laughter dissipated, and changed into a tone of nostalgia and nostalgia, looking at him and saying: "That's not the first time I saw you."
Shen Mengzhuang looked at him suspiciously.
The scene in his eyes was like a flying horse looking at the flowers. Meng Qingyang leaned back against the tree trunk, looked at the thin Shen Mengzhuang, and the past scenes came to mind.The eyes are deep and deep, as if looking for the former appearance through the person in front of him.
"The first time I saw you was when you first went up the mountain." Meng Qingyang's tone was firm, and he offered the fruit buried deep in his heart to the person in front of him like a treasure, "At that time, Master Xuanqiu came down the mountain, and my master took me Take care of An Xufeng for him. At that time, I broke a treasure of Elder Xuanqiu, and hid in the water tank for fear of being punished by my master. At that time, I saw Elder Xuanqiu leading you up the mountain. See At that time, I thought that the little fat man was abducted by the elder Xuanqiu, but at that time, you were not like a cultivator, but a rich young master wearing gold and silver."
"Later, I didn't pay much attention to it. I just thought that An Xufeng had an extra young master. Later, little girls kept mentioning 'Senior Brother Shen' in my ears. I didn't take it seriously at the time, thinking that 'Senior Brother Shen' could How amazing, isn't it just that you dress a little more expensively. Until that day when I see you again..."
"To be honest, that was the first time I really knew from the bottom of my heart what is meant by 'beautiful eyes'. The young master back then was gone, and standing in front of me was a young man in white, so elegant, So thin. I can no longer see the panic and bewilderment in his eyes. I don't know what he has endured in just a few years to become so calm and outstanding. It is really like those little girls said, as if God."
Since that day, he has had a glimpse.In addition, it is also called, love at first sight, ten thousand years at a glance.
"Not to mention the four adults, but those girls on my mountain are always talking about 'Senior Brother Shen is so handsome', 'Senior Brother Shen is so gentle', and 'Senior Brother Shen has the best temperament'. I didn't care about it before, From that moment on, I recognized it. No wonder they all like you so much, even I...
Later, I thought about it, I can't let you follow the path of the elder Xuanqiu and become a little old-fashioned.So I just want to anger you, take away your sword tassel, and then you will be really angry.I was amused at the time, the so-called "gentleman is like jade", it turned out to be supportive, and it was still a firecracker that exploded at one point, which is quite interesting to think about. "
The small thoughts of the past are still as intoxicating as the strongest wine in spring when I think about it now.The smile on the corner of Meng Qingyang's mouth is as gentle as a pool of spring water, his eyes are filled with the fragrance and brilliance of blooming, the purest and most precious emotion in his heart, at this moment, he just wants to give it to the person in his heart completely and sincerely .
Looking away from the past, Meng Qingyang looked at Shen Mengzhuang, his eyes were firm and warm, but also deep and gentle, and said softly: "I have seen your original appearance, I have seen your new appearance, I have seen you angry, I have seen you smile, and I have seen you. You cry. They all say you are gentle and easy-going, but is that really the case? Xiao Meng, are you still being brave now?"
As if his thoughts all along had been seen through by others, Shen Mengzhuang lowered his head and remained silent.Sensing the scorching gaze of the people around him, Shen Mengzhuang raised his eyes slightly, and after meeting Meng Qingyang's gaze, he lowered his head in a panic and reached out to stroke the hair on his temples, trying to block his gaze and himself from being exposed to his eyes. ugly scars.
It shouldn't be like this, Shen Mengzhuang lowered his head deeply, not knowing whether it was self-blame or annoyance, everything should not be like this at this moment.
Looking at Shen Mengzhuang's uneasy and flustered expression, he felt a little inferior.Looking at the hideous scar on his face, Meng Qingyang felt inexplicable anger welling up in his heart.Last time I saw that although he was thin and weak, he was still intact and flawless.Why is he so thin and embarrassed after not seeing him for several years.
It shouldn't be like this, Meng Qingyang frowned slightly, his eyes were deep, with remorse and annoyance.The person he can only keep in his heart is now being ruined by another person without knowing what to do, whether it is body or spirit, he has ruined him to the point of being riddled with holes.Teach him how not to feel bad, how not to blame himself.
In the past, Shen Mengzhuang, which was as beautiful as the moon and towering like a jade mountain, was always missed by the little girls. Shen Mengzhuang was proud and proud, how could it feel inferior now?How much he has endured in these years is why he is so cautious. He shouldn't be like this.Has anyone comforted his scar?Has anyone taken care of it?Certainly not, the person who hurt him was the culprit of this scar, so how could he patiently soothe his wound and mood.
The self-blame and anger in his heart welled up in his throat, and there was actually a bit of bitterness, brewed over the years, and now the bitterness broke his heart.The anger and bitterness became stronger and stronger, about to overwhelm his last trace of reason and forbearance.
Lowering his head and not daring to look again, Shen Mengzhuang's hand was still on the left side, and his heart was also in a mess.While mourning, his wrist was suddenly grasped tightly, and when he turned his head, he could only see the approaching face, and the distance between Meng Qingyang and him was only an inch in the blink of an eye.
Seeing that he was about to kiss his cheek, Shen Mengzhuang suddenly stretched out his hand to Meng Qingyang's chest, turned his face away and tried to pull himself away from his gaze.
Meng Qingyang pulled his wrist, upset and annoyed in his heart, and his tone became more irritable, and said angrily: "When I hugged you just now, I knew that you are now empty of energy and blood, and your foundation is completely empty. There are also large and small bulges on your body. I don't know about the scars... You are not allowed to hide from me, these years, have you really lived well?"
Not knowing how to answer, Shen Mengzhuang still tilted his head and remained silent, but the answer was already very clear.
Meng Qingyang grabbed his shoulder, and the distance between the two was only an inch.Resisting the urge to hold him in his arms, Meng Qingyang asked him almost pleadingly: "Xiao Meng, you know my heart. It was the same in the past, and it is the same now, and it will not change in the future. I will take you away, take you out of here. Shall we find a place to retreat? I really don't want you... If you still don't love me, I don't expect too much. As long as you can live well, I, I..."
Speaking out all the thoughts that had been buried for a long time, Meng Qingyang only hated himself for being clumsy and tongue-tied, for the tortured kung fu in the past disappeared without a trace at this moment.He hasn't made up his mind about what will happen, but this intention cannot be changed.
"Qingyang." Shen Mengzhuang looked at him with a soft and firm tone, "You are a very good person. I used to be too...I don't want to let you down. I don't want you to wrong me because of me. I don’t want to. My ending is here, only here. I can’t escape. No matter where I go, he will do everything possible to find me. Even if I escape by chance, he will kill more people to force me to show up. I don't want to hurt anyone, especially you."
After talking a lot, Shen Mengzhuang suddenly lowered his head and smiled, and looked at Meng Qingyang again, with a little more ease and calmness in his eyes, "You know my temperament, and you won't turn back if you decide."
The delusion in his heart was shattered, and Meng Qingyang remained silent as if accepting his fate.In the end, as if the fire had been rekindled, she looked at Shen Mengzhuang with a bit of aggrieved tone, "What about the next life? Can you allow me in the next life?"
Seeing the man in front of him asking about his next life like a child, Shen Mengzhuang couldn't help smiling, "Next life, next life... If you find me before him, then I'll follow you."
Like a wronged and crying child being rewarded by an adult, Meng Qingyang smiled through his tears, leaned back against the tree trunk, looked up at the lush greenery above his head, and sighed: "I really want to hurry to the next life, I really want to go to the Naihe Bridge and wait now." you."
"Are you cursing me or cursing yourself?" Shen Mengzhuang laughed along with him.
As the sun goes down, no matter how long the companionship is, there will be an end.Meng Qingyang put Shen Mengzhuang down, pulled the quilt aside to cover him, and got up after confirming that he would not get in through the wind.
Standing by the bed and looking at Shen Mengzhuang, Meng Qingyang had never felt such strong reluctance in his heart.He opened his hands and smiled at him: "Hug it, between friends."
Shen Mengzhuang raised his head to meet his gaze, smiled as well, and reached out to hug him back.A deep whisper came from his ear, which contained all the longing and nostalgia in his life. He said, "Take care."
"Well, take care." Shen Mengzhuang replied with the same sincerity.
The figure outside the window had completely disappeared without any trace, Shen Mengzhuang's gaze was still on the withered peach tree outside.I thought I would see it again, but I never thought that this would be the last time.
Overlooking alone, look at the infinite mountains and rivers.The years are countless, and things change in a blink of an eye.Bai Yiyunshui was ten years old, and the old friend will always be the old friend.
Because of Leng Shanlan's death, the barrier at the beginning of Chiyuan became more and more difficult to figure out.On this day, Lu Qingyuan, An Gui, and Sanshou Qiying intend to work together to forcibly break through Chi Yuan and the Dark Realm, but the enchantment is blessed by the Forbidden Seal, which is as hard to shake as a copper wall and an iron wall.Even if the three strongest people in the demon world join forces at this moment, they can barely destroy the tenth floor.According to Shi Bai, there were more than a hundred layers of barriers at the beginning of Chi Yuan.
After the strong attack failed, Lu Qingyuan walked away with a flick of his sleeves, and An Gui and Sanshou Qiying followed him back to the Miehui Palace.
The dark world and the demon world are always dark and night, but at this time, the Que Gong Wei is a vast expanse of whiteness.
It's already winter, and it's snowing in the sparrow palace. This is the first snow this year.So Shen Mengzhuang's old illness relapsed, but there was no one around him who could help him.Just now he asked Xiaohua to send pastries to Gu Xuzi, he was afraid that he might not be able to come back for a while.
At this moment, he was lying on the bed and sinking into nothingness. He didn't know how long he had endured, and his whole body was sweating profusely.It was as if a fire was burning him, his skin was scorching hot, his clothes were soaked through, and even the bedding was soaked to a large extent.
No one gave him needles, and although he was not in danger of going mad, he was just an ordinary body at the moment.To be honest, the body is probably weaker than a sick child, and such mental torture is like going up a mountain of swords and down into a sea of flames.
Clenching the quilt tightly in his hands, his fingertips turned white, his face was pale, and his lips were chapped.He kept murmuring "Elder Sister" in his mouth, and the image of the head rolling down to his feet was repeated in his mind over and over again.The elder sister's blood spattered on his face like a knife cut like a fire.
Who will save him?Who's coming... Shen Mengzhuang frowned tightly, and the sobs in his mouth became more and more painful. He wanted to catch his light and someone who could save him from the pain, so he began to call him: "Xiao Jiu..."
"Little Jiu...Little Jiu..."
The weak murmur echoed in the dimly lit hall, but there was no response. His call disappeared silently like a drop of water falling into the lake.
In the Hall of Fading Radiance, Lu Qingyuan was leaning against the back of the chair, supporting the wooden chair with one hand, and groping around the skull on the table with the other.What is the purpose of this skeleton and human bone left by Hei Li?
Dark Puppet and Sanshou Qiying were discussing, Lu Qingyuan only felt bored, and suddenly turned his head to see the blood bat talking with the stone demon outside the window, he heard that they were just discussing where to find food.
The blood bat said that the Changhua Cake at the baby girl's home was delicious, and the Stone Demon said that he had eaten it but it was not as delicious as Senior Brother Shen's Peach Blossom Cake.He just came from Que Palace and begged for two yuan, but the road was covered with snow, he almost fell into the mud.
Listening to the whispers outside the window, Lu Qingyuan sneered at the stupidity of the Stone Demon.Before the smile dissipated, he suddenly changed his mind.Lu Qingyuan looked solemn, what did he just say?Is it snowing in the sparrow palace?First snow this year?Oops!
"Brother!"
Lu Qingyuan suddenly yelled, and the two demons in the hall turned their heads in shock, but there was no sign of him on the throne, only the black mist that had not completely dissipated.
"Brother!" Lu Qingyuan rushed into the hall and picked up Shen Mengzhuang who was unconscious on the bed.Seeing that his face was pale and covered in sweat, he felt distressed and blamed himself, and whispered in his ear: "I'm sorry, brother, I didn't pay attention, it's my fault. Hold on, I'll give you the needle."
Taking the silver needle from the drawer, Lu Qingyuan carefully inserted it into the acupuncture point on Shen Mengzhuang's shoulder, and the person in his arms groaned in pain.Lu Qingyuan kissed his temples, and comforted him patiently: "It will be fine soon, brother, be good, bear with it, and I will kiss you and it won't hurt."
As if hearing the whispers in his ears, Shen Mengzhuang's consciousness was fuzzy, and he didn't hear what Lu Qingyuan said at all.He waited in nothingness for the person he called to come to rescue him, but he waited for a long time, and he was burned in the fire for a long time.He watched the elder sister's head roll to his feet for the [-]th time, but still no one came to rescue him.
He called for a long time, until his voice was gradually stuck in his throat and he could no longer make any movement, that person still did not come to save him.
He seemed to hear a slight wind in his ear, the past was like a hurricane suddenly extinguishing the burning fire, he called indistinctly, "Qingyang..."
Hearing the murmur of the person in his arms, Lu Qingyuan's hand that applied the needle suddenly stopped, and his anxious and worried eyes just now were suddenly covered with a cold and murderous look.He looked down at Shen Mengzhuang, and said sharply, "Who are you calling?"
Shen Mengzhuang didn't hear his words, and he didn't have any strength to expect someone to save him, and finally passed out, all consciousness was sealed in the hurricane.
The speechless response of the man in his arms made Lu Qingyuan's eyes even more angry. He exerted uncontrollable force in his hand, half of the silver needle sank, and blood began to ooze from Shen Mengzhuang's shoulder.Already unconscious, he finally couldn't bear the pain, bit his lips tightly and whimpered in pain, forcing a few tears from the corners of his eyes.
Just humming, still no response.Lu Qingyuan threw away the silver needle in his hand, pressed Shen Mengzhuang on the bed, grabbed his wrist with one hand and pressed it next to his head, pinching the sides of his chin.His eyebrows and eyes were dark, and his eyes were like knives, as if he wanted to bite and devour the person below him alive, and said in a stern tone: "Who were you calling just now? Talk, who are you calling!"
With uncontrollable force with both hands, red marks appeared on Shen Mengzhuang's wrists, and bruises appeared on his cheeks.There was no response to the whimpering and muffled humming. He seemed to give up calling for help, and suddenly coughed up a big mouthful of blood as if giving up on himself, his entire chin and neck were stained red.
Fingertips touched the hot and sticky, and seeing Shen Mengzhuang's face was scarlet, Lu Qingyuan panicked immediately, and frantically wiped the blood on his face with his sleeve, and said anxiously: "Senior brother...you wake up, senior brother, I, I don't blame you anymore, I don't blame you when you wake up, brother..."
The person in his arms couldn't hear any of his words, and the pain and suffocation tightly wrapped around him, preventing him from breathing.Breathing gradually weakened, Shen Mengzhuang's hand holding the quilt gradually loosened, like the last drop of water falling into the lake.
The murderous intent accumulated in my heart spewed out from that day on, it has been magnanimous to keep him, but now it is really impossible to keep him.Lu Qingyuan sat on the mountain gate of Yu Lingfeng, watching the wailing people under his feet, the louder they yelled, the happier and prouder he was.
All the people under Yu Lingfeng are here at this moment. If he, Meng Qingyang, does not come, he will die, and if he comes, there will be no return.
"Scream, scream louder. Your Immortal Master Meng is probably deaf, so he can't hear you." Lu Qingyuan stood high above, swinging one leg leisurely in the air.
Suddenly a piercing sword energy came towards him, and Lu Qingyuan blocked the attack with a wave of his hand.Using tricks, Meng Qingyang floated down, holding a sharp sword in his hand to fight for his life.
"Your life is over."
Lu Qingyuan's eyes were gloomy, as if he was declaring that Meng Qingyang's death was approaching.The black mist above the head gathered, and the Misfortune Sword rushed out quickly, and the sword light was as red as blood.
Just when Meng Qingyang was in critical condition, a white figure suddenly rushed out to block the sword.The sword energy rushed backwards, swept across the man's eyes, and suddenly blood splashed into the sky.
After seeing the figure of that person clearly, the two shouted almost at the same time:
"Brother!"
"Little Meng!"
Lu Qingyuan hugged Shen Mengzhuang, whose eyes were bleeding, and hurried back to Que Palace. Gu Xuzi was already waiting in the hall, after seeing Shen Mengzhuang's eye injuries.He shook his head helplessly and said, "It can't be saved, I can't help it."
"Save him!" Lu Qingyuan grabbed Gu Xuzi's lapel, his fingertips turned white, and the sound of the cloth being torn became clearer, as if Gu Xuzi was going to tear this man up with his bare hands if he didn't save him.
"Save him! Use all means to save him!"
Gu Xuzi turned his head to look at the person on the bed who was oozing blood, but still shook his head helplessly.
